San Francisco (38,105 miles) and Los Angeles (34,847 miles) are set to log the most travel in the 2026 NFL regular season, led by a Week 1 game in Melbourne—the first ever NFL regular-season game in Australia—and other long trips. The Niners also face an East Coast road game vs. the Giants and a Mexico City game against the Vikings; the Rams travel to Philadelphia, Tampa, and Washington, D.C. Rounding out the top five travel-heavy teams are the Texans, Cowboys, and Patriots. International games total nine, including Australia, Mexico, England (three), and one each in Brazil, France, Germany, and Spain. Conversely, several teams will have the fewest miles, led by the Panthers (8,740), followed by the Browns, Bears, Buccaneers, and Packers (all under roughly 13,000 miles).
The Athletic’s NFL staff breaks down every team’s outlook after the draft and offseason programs, outlining who improved through added depth and upgraded defenses (e.g., Ravens, Cowboys, Browns, Chargers, Rams, Jets, Giants, Panthers, Eagles, Seahawks) and which teams still face questions on QB rooms, trenches, cap space, or interior line play. The consensus is that many rosters have been strengthened or stabilized heading into summer, but actual progress will hinge on development, scheme fit, and how teams handle remaining roster holes and division competition.
A team-by-team look at the biggest roster holes still facing all 32 NFL teams as OTAs approach, detailing position needs (QB, OL, edge, WR, DL, etc.), how recent drafts and free agency filled some gaps, and the reality that most rosters still carry two to three openings that could spark trades or veteran additions before the 2026 season.
Microsoft rolled back a faulty service update that caused older Teams desktop builds to fail to launch, leaving users stuck on the loading screen. The revert is intended to remedy the issue, but affected users must fully quit and restart Teams for the fix to propagate. The incident, tracked as TM1283300, is being monitored to confirm full resolution, with Microsoft noting the regression was in the Teams client build caching system.
Sports Illustrated’s Justin Melo unveils a first-round mock for the 2026 NFL Draft, driven by top-100 prospect rankings and recent private workouts, with No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders and a flipped board across teams—Rueben Bain Jr. to the Titans, Arvell Reese to the Jets, and several other key projections plus bonus picks for teams without a first-round selection.
Post-free-agency, this piece grades every NFL team’s 2026 moves by listing each club’s favorite and least-favorite signing, with Malik Willis to the Dolphins and Kyler Murray to the Vikings highlighted as notable value bets, Devin Lloyd to Carolina praised as a top linebacker addition, and a spectrum of other decisions across all 32 clubs—from solid, low-risk upgrades like Isaac Seumalo and Trent McDuffie to higher-cost risks such as Jaelan Phillips and Kenneth Walker III. Several teams had no clear ‘least favorite’ move (N/A), and the analysis relies on PFF grades to judge whether the cost matched the on-field impact, yielding a mixed bag of improved units and potential overpays or durability concerns.
Microsoft's March Windows 11 cumulative update KB5079473 breaks sign-ins with Microsoft accounts across Teams, OneDrive, Edge, Word, Excel and Copilot, showing an internet connectivity error even when online. A reboot while online is a temporary workaround; Microsoft has issued emergency out-of-band updates for other issues and guidance for Samsung Galaxy Continuity-related problems.
Microsoft says enabling the Teams Meeting Add-in can render the classic Outlook unusable for some users on older builds. The workaround is to update Outlook or run an Online Repair; Microsoft is also investigating associated email-sync errors (0x800CCC0F, 0x80070057) and notes earlier fixes to encrypted emails and a recent Exchange Online outage.
Week 1 of NFL free agency featured a flurry of moves that reveal each team’s early priorities: Arizona bolsters its offensive line and running game to shore up an unsettled QB situation; Atlanta starts a quarterback competition with new additions; Baltimore reshapes its defense while Lamar Jackson’s contract remains unsettled; Buffalo makes high-impact moves with a DJ Moore trade and Bradley Chubb signing; Carolina signs front-seven and O-line help as other teams balance age, cap and draft plans. Overall, the week signals a busy, strategic offseason ahead rather than one that’s built on splashy, uniform spending.
Bleacher Report updates the NFL’s salary-cap landscape for 2026, headlined by the Tennessee Titans at the top with about $80.8 million in cap space, followed by the Washington Commanders ($70.7M), Arizona Cardinals ($61.5M), Los Angeles Chargers ($60.6M) and Baltimore Ravens ($56.9M). The piece also recaps notable Friday moves (Rasheed Walker to the Panthers, Tyler Conklin to the Lions, Van Jefferson to the Commanders, Nate Hobbs to the 49ers) and a cap-impacter release (L’Jarius Sneed by the Titans), while noting ongoing bargain shopping and chatter around potential late moves such as A.J. Brown trade talks and a Steelers-Pittman Jr. swap as teams prepare for the weekend.
The NFL on Monday announced 33 compensatory picks for the 2026 Draft in Pittsburgh, awarded to 15 teams and including one special pick (to the Jaguars via the Lions) tied to Detroit’s hiring of Aaron Glenn. Compensatory picks, issued for net losses of free agents or for minority hires, come in rounds 3–7 with a maximum of four per team, and a full list shows Ravens, Eagles and Steelers among the top recipients. The article also notes the mechanism behind CFAs and the round-by-round allocations for all teams.
The NFL Players Association conducted a season-long survey rating 32 teams on 17 working-conditions factors (facilities, travel, meals, staff, family accommodations, etc.). Although the NFLPA faced a grievance over publicly releasing results under the CBA, The Athletic published the findings with players. The Dolphins finished first and the Steelers last, with wide variation across teams in areas such as facilities, travel, dining, training staff, and leadership.
With under two months left in the regular season, NBA.com highlights six teams—Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Oklahoma City Thunder, and San Antonio Spurs—as the contenders for the league’s best, each with distinct strengths and drawbacks: Celtics benefit from Jaylen Brown’s breakout and strong coaching while awaiting Jayson Tatum’s return; Cavaliers rely on Donovan Mitchell with Harden’s addition to unlock Mobley/Allen; Nuggets boast a high ceiling despite injuries and defensive concerns; Pistons feature Cade Cunningham in MVP-territory and a stingy defense; Thunder stay deep and balanced with Shai leading; Spurs ride Victor Wembanyama and a versatile supporting cast. No obvious frontrunner yet as the stretch run unfolds.
This Sports Illustrated piece ranks all 59 teams that lost a Super Bowl by how dominant they were (regular-season record, points per game, yards per play) and how strong their playoff runs and star power were, aiming to separate the greatest heartbreaks from the most inconsequential exits. The list starts with the 2008 Arizona Cardinals as the lowest-ranked loser and ends with the 2007 New England Patriots—the greatest team to lose—while highlighting famous cases like the 1968 Baltimore Colts and the Bills’ near-misses to illustrate how a brilliant season can still end in heartbreak.
