Matthew Stafford to host weekly radio show with Maxx Crosby, others this season
Stafford is taking on his first role in the media as a host of 'Let's Go!' on SiriusXM Radio In his 17th NFL season, Matthew Stafford is doing something he's never done before. SiriusXM NFL Radio announced that Stafford is joining 'Let's Go!' as a weekly host on the show alongside Jim Gray, Peter King and Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby. The show previously featured legends such as Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Larry Fitzgerald as hosts, so Stafford is the latest football great to join the list. 'Over the years, I have enjoyed watching and listening to 'Let's Go!' on SiriusXM, and Jim is one of the true icons of sports broadcasting,' Stafford said in a press release. 'To have a chance to work with him, Maxx and Peter this season was too good to pass up. Nothing is more important than winning football games, but Jim makes it so easy and fun to do this on Monday nights that I am really looking forward to it this season.' The shows will air on SiriusXM Radio every Monday at 3:30 p.m. PT starting Sept. 1, which is six days before the Los Angeles Rams' season opener against the Houston Texans. 'Let's Go!' will also be available on podcast platforms and feature guests from the sports and entertainment world, as well. According to the release, Stafford will talk about the Rams and other 'trending topics around the league' on the show each week, sharing his insight with listeners. It should be a fun show, especially with Crosby returning as one of the hosts.

Joe Hortiz: Najee Harris doing better, no reason to rush anyone out there
Chargers running back Najee Harris remains on the non-football injury list with the eye injury he suffered in a pre-training camp fireworks accident and it remains unknown when he might be back in action. At the time Harris went on the list, word was that it would be a short stay but General Manager Joe Hortiz didn't offer any timetable in an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio. Hortiz noted that the Chargers got to camp before other teams because of this week's Hall of Fame Game and that they'll give Harris the time he needs to get fully cleared to return. 'He's doing better every day,' Hortiz said. 'He's dealing with it, he's getting better. We're going to be cautious and precautious with it and let him get healthy. There's no rush, it's early. We came into camp early, we got a long preseason to go so there's no sense in rushing anyone out there.' First-round pick Omarion Hampton is alone at the top of the running back depth chart with Harris off the field and a strong first impression for the rookie could change the outlook for Harris's role by the time the veteran is able to get back in action.

Shemar Stewart, Bengals are still at impasse
The Bengals and their 2025 first-round pick, defensive end Shemar Stewart, continue to be at odds over a fairly technical and esoteric portion of his contract. Stewart's agent, Zac Hiller, appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio to discuss the situation. 'Obviously my job, and all agents' job, is to protect the players,' Hiller said. 'Simply put, Shamar would, of course, love for his contract to be as protective as the rest of his Bengals teammates in the past. And, simply put, the way the contract currently reads is not as protective.' The issue relates to the team's effort to change the language that would void future guarantees. They're trying to foist more team-friendly terms on Stewart unilaterally, without making a corresponding concession. 'Contracts are based on precedent,' Hiller said. 'So, when Shamar has never asked for anything more or less protective than any of his teammates, it's a simple fix. It's just say, 'Hey, this is the precedent. Let's keep the precedent.'' There's no indication that the Bengals are willing to offer Stewart anything to balance out the change in precedent. 'If you want to make changes to your precedent, it should be a negotiation,' Hiller said. 'It should be give and take. It shouldn't just be, 'Hey, we're changing this and sign it or go scratch.'' Although Stewart is taking a stand, he wants to get the situation resolved. 'All he wants to do is be a Cincinnati Bengal,' Hiller said. 'This guy was so excited to get drafted by Cincinnati. All he wants to do is be a Bengal. All he wanted to do was be on the field and show the Cincinnati fans the incredible specimen, person, football player that this team was lucky to draft where they drafted. And he's not been allowed to do that.' This isn't the year for the Bengals to become stubborn about changing contract language that previously was acceptable. They need Stewart to be ready to go — especially if defensive end Trey Hendrickson doesn't show up for training camp as part of a cash-based contract squabble. But if the team and Hendrickson strike a deal as to money, there's an interesting question that will eventually be addressed. Will the Bengals use their prior language regarding voids of guarantees? Or will they insist on the same language they're trying to force Stewart to accept?

Lions' two-headed monster ranked best running back room by SiriusXM NFL Radio
Lions' two-headed monster ranked best running back room by SiriusXM NFL Radio "They got a two-headed monster and it's almost impossible to stop..." The @Lions lead the way in MTC Running Back Room Rankings, listen below as @JimMiller_NFL & @PatKirwan_NFL explain what makes them so good. 📻 I #FlyEaglesFly I #RavensFlock — SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) May 28, 2025 Sonic and Knuckles are not only two of the most well-known video game characters, they are now how we refr to the dynamic duo of Lions running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. That pairing helped the Lions leap to the top of the list among running back rooms in the eyes of Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller of SiriusXM's Movin' the Chains. Kirwan noted the strong pairing of Gibbs and Montgomery and the incredible stat that Gibbs only played 55 percent of the offensive snaps last season -- Gibbs started just four games -- while Montgomery only played 34 percent of the snaps. Kirwan also gave some love to Craig Reynolds and his contributions on special teams -- only Sione Vaki and Ben Niemann played more special teams snaps than Reynolds -- as this discussion was about full running back rooms. Even with Saquon Barkley, the Eagles were ranked below the Lions at No. 2, followed by the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gibbs and Montgomery combined for 2,187 rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns in 2024. Gibbs had 1,412 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on just 250 carries, already solidifying himself as one of the top, if not elite, running backs in the NFL. That duo will be needed again if the Lions are going to make a run to the Super Bowl this season. That gauntlet includes the other teams in this top five except the Bills.

New NFL quarterback resurfaces after team's brutal benching as he's spotted at Kentucky Derby week on from draft
New Giants draftee Jaxson Dart looked to be in good spirits at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday after learning of his team's plan to sit him in 2025. Dart, the No. 25 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, will begin the year sitting behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winton, and GM Joe Schoen intimated this week that the Ole Miss product wouldn't be seeing the field in 2025 unless there are injuries. '... Jaxson's going to come in, he's got to learn the offense. There's a lot to learn,' he told SiriusXM NFL Radio. 'These NFL offenses are hard to grasp and pick up and then be able to go out and execute, so the ability for him to learn and sit behind two consummate pros already will be beneficial for him.' While that was always likely to be the plan after the Giants signed both Wilson and Winston in free agency (Wilson has been called the starter by head coach Brian Daboll), Dart nonetheless enjoyed his time at Churchill Downs as he posed with teammate Wan'Dale Robinson. The wide receiver posted a photo of the pair to his Instagram story, as Dart dressed for the occasion in a blue plaid suit, clear glasses and a salmon-colored top hat. The Giants also re-posted the photo to their X account, writing: 'Kentucky Derby Boys.' In speaking about the plan for Dart's rookie year, Schoen - formerly the assistant GM of the Bills - compared New York's approach to when Buffalo drafted Josh Allen in 2018. 'We've been through this, we went through it with Josh Allen,' Schoen said. 'We had a little bit different quarterback room at the time, but he was going to sit his rookie year and then halftime of the opening game we're getting smoked by Baltimore, so we put him in and the rest was history.' As Schoen noted, the team did not have veterans of Wilson and Winston's caliber but instead Nathan Peterman and AJ McCaron, the latter of whom was traded before the season started. Peterman completed just 5 of 18 passes in Week 1 and the team soon turned the keys over to Allen. . @Giants GM Joe Schoen discussed the plan for QB Jaxson Dart during his rookie season in New York... 📻 #NFLDraft | #NYGiants | @BobPapa_NFL | @LegerDouzable — SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) April 30, 2025 Barring an injury crisis, though, it seems unlikely that Dart will see the field anytime soon. 'Injuries occur. We've played seven quarterbacks over the last two years, so he's going to have to prepare like he's going to have to play,' Schoen said. 'So again you want him to come in, develop a routine, learn how to be a pro, learn how to study the game, and then if his number's called and he has to go out and execute, he's going to need to be ready.' The NFL has not yet released its schedules for all 32 teams, though the Giants are confirmed to be hosting the Chiefs, Packers and Vikings, with trips to Detroit and Chicago also on the horizon.
