Are Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen Getting Married During May 30 Weekend? All About Their Relationship From First Date to Wedding Bells
Hawkeye star Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen are reportedly getting married as early as this weekend, May 31, 2025. The ceremony is said to happen in the next two weekends, reports from The Associated Press suggest. While the date has not been officially announced, Allen 's teammate Dion Dawkins recently teased May 31 as D-Day on a live appearance on NFL Network. "The wedding planning is already underway," a source told Us Weekly in March. The couple who started dating in 2023 got engaged a year later in late 2024. " Hailee is very excited about the planning process and now that Josh is done with the season, she hopes they can have more time to make decisions together," the source added. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's private but not-so-secret romantic journey to the Altar The two got engaged in November 2024, during the bye week of the NFL, after over a year of dating. The relationship commenced quietly enough with early rumors fueled by appearances in New York City toward the end of May 2023. On May 25, they were spotted together having an evening on the town, followed by another date on May 27. By May 29, the relationship had been confirmed by a source to People, with them having been dating for a few weeks. "It's new, but they are having fun," the insider affirmed. Allen spoke on the public interest in his relationship in August 2023, during a podcast interview. He remembered the intrusion of paparazzi as "gross" and causing insecurities. The couple was private and serious about safeguarding their relationship despite initial issues. During the Pardon My Take podcast, he said, "The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind." Steinfeld, on the other hand, remained tight-lipped during public appearances. During the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024, she sidestepped questions regarding Allen as well as rumors of an engagement. The two were seen together on January 29 in Laguna Niguel, California, days after the Bills' season was over. As of February 21, 2024, their relationship reportedly became more serious. The couple went to Paris Fashion Week in March, where Allen suffered a minor accident, tearing his pants when they went out for dinner on March 4. Allen became Instagram official with Steinfeld on July 23, 2024. He shared photos of their adventures together in Paris and around holiday meals with the family. They announced their engagement on November 22, 2024, with Allen's romantic proposal photos showcasing a sunset setting, roses, and candles. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen stepped out for the first time on the red carpet on February 6, 2025, at the NFL Honors. And now their wedding preparations have gained momentum to mark a new chapter in their lives.

NFL could be looking to void Howie Roseman's salary cap wizardry
NFL could be looking to void Howie Roseman's salary cap wizardry NFL owners are supremely cheap and the league could look to alter the current salary cap structure and rules to gain ground on the Eagles and other successful teams The NFL is an arms race where great quarterback play, elite talent at key positions, and head coaching acumen are essential to an organization's overall success. Add in the ability to navigate and circumvent the salary cap, and you have the recipe for yearly dominance. Philadelphia has the NFL's best team, and the reigning Super Bowl champions were constructed by a dominant general manager who has excelled at maximizing the team's potential within the current salary cap structure. After the failed Tush Push vote, Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team reports that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and league owners had a lengthy discussion at those same spring meetings about the current salary cap system in regards to how well it's working, whether teams are operating within its "intended spirit", and what changes might be needed a few years from now when a new CBA is to be constructed. Like the explanation for the Tush Push, which is squarely centered around the Eagles, the owners want to examine potential changes to keep the system "fair, competitive, and free of loopholes." Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice took a deep dive into what a dissolution of void years and Roseman's ability to push money back would mean for the Eagles' roster-building techniques. One of the great advantages the Eagles have — maybe their biggest advantage — is the way they structure player contracts. They get use of players now, get charged for their services on the salary cap later. Let's start with a simple example. Let's use Mekhi Becton, who signed with the Eagles last year on a one-year deal worth about $5.5 million. Becton counted for about $2 million on the Eagles' cap in 2024, the lone year he played in Philly. He'll count for about $3.5 million in "dead money" in 2025, when he'll play for the Chargers. As Kempski pointed out, Philadelphia's owner is willing to put his upfront cash where his mouth is, converting base salaries into bonuses that can be spread out across future years. Other owners around the league, AKA Mike Brown (CIN), aren't willing to pay cash upfront. In February, Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow made waves during an appearance on the podcast "Pardon My Take," where he commented on the Eagles' willingness to "pay their players". "You could convert some of the money to a signing bonus, which will lower the cap hit," Burrow said. "You can push some of the money to the back end of the contract. That lowers the cap hit. And then when you get to the back end of the contract, you can restructure it and convert it to a signing bonus. You can also just take less money." Burrow's comments follow those of Dallas Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones, who commented on the Eagles' methods of roster building and utilizing void years to push money back. 'I know everybody has their different battles with the cap that hit at different times. Philly will have theirs coming up where they'll have to make tough decisions.' Looking at cap hits for 2025, Dak Prescott has $89,896,666, CeeDee Lamb has $35,450,000, and so on. In Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts has just $21 million against the cap, with A.J. Brown and Lane Johnson having $17 million. Roseman is a wizard, and salary cap hell will likely never happen as it continues to rise by $30 million each season, regardless of the dead cap hits accrued by pushing time back with void years.

Dave Portnoy stars in Patriots schedule video after decade-long NFL feud
The Patriots turned to Dave Portnoy to help reveal their 2025 schedule on Wednesday. Using one of the Barstool Sports founder's popular phrases, they captioned the video 'Emergency Press Conference – 2025 Patriots Schedule' as Portnoy seemingly shot from the cuff for over five minutes as he broke down all 17 of the Pats' games. Portnoy is a fervent supporter of Boston sports teams, including the Patriots. The video went live as Portnoy was sitting courtside at Boston Garden for Game 5 of the Knicks-Celtics series. Speaking from in front of the Patriots' six Super Bowl trophies, Portnoy read off the schedule, starting with New England's Week 1 opponent, the Raiders. 'Josh McDaniels was fired by the Raiders. Don't forget this, he was fired by the Raiders while he was out trick-or-treating with his kids on Halloween,' Portnoy said in the video. 'It's time to remind the league, when you mess with the Patriots, it comes in blood. We are going to destroy this team 42-7 and announce our arrival back as a premier team in this league.' Dave Portnoy was the star of the Patriots' schedule reveal video. Patriots/X He later turned his attention to the Week 7 matchup with the Titans, where he describes it as a 'Vrabel revenge game' since Tennessee is where current Patriots coach Mike Vrabel coached before getting fired after the 2023 season 'How stupid are the Titans to let this guy go?' Portnoy said. 'They just drafted Cam Ward, who cares. Rookie quarterback. This may be the biggest blowout of the season.' The decision to include Portnoy in their schedule release video is a notable one by the Patriots, considering his history with the league office, and more specifically, commissioner Roger Goodell. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell speaks during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft at Lambeau Field on April 24, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Getty Images Portnoy had two publicized run-ins with the NFL, which included a stunt at the league's offices in New York City when he and three other Barstool employees handcuffed themselves to one another and demanded to meet with Goodell in protest to 'Deflategate.' Monday marked the 10-year anniversary of the protest. In 2019, he and 'Pardon My Take' host PFT Commenter were also kicked out of Super Bowl media night after the league banned them from events following the handcuff incident.
