Reid's jersey appears to be a third-party product, but it's a perfect concept for Nike to work off of. Saints will get their 'Rivalries' uniforms in 2027 or 2028. Plenty of time to get it right.

Anime movie night this week was great.

Millennium Actress: Beautiful, bittersweet, and so funny. I thought it much more effectively wove lived experiences with moments on camera than other Satoshi Kon films (which I’ve enjoyed). 4.5 stars

Here are the rules. Anyone picked in an expansion draft would have all current and future salary cap payouts (including signing bonus proration) covered by the new team. Which five players are you nominating?
Must include five players No pending 2026 free agents (restricted or unrestricted) No players who went on injured reserve during 2025 training camp Only one player with 10 or more years' experience No kickers or punters That immediately rules out big names like Demario Davis and Cameron Jordan, who are both pending free agents with more than a decade of experience. Other free agents like Alontae Taylor, Taysom Hill, Luke Fortner, Dillon Radunz, and Jonathan Bullard are ineligible for similar reasons. Just three players are under contract for 2026 after going down with injuries in 2025's training camp: Ja'Lynn Polk (with the New England Patriots at the time), Bub Means, and Nick Saldiveri.
