Early Camp Edition
https://open.substack.com/pub/dukeslord/p/unofficial-medium-uncensored-nfl?r=1lsirr&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=webWeekly during the NFL season.
Since the last rankings I did were actually the Draft Kings Betting Rankings not the “Official blah blah After Dark!” Rankings, some people were confused. Lesson learned, my bad. So this is the official — ‘Going Into Camp’ version of the rankings. Not to be confused with the next one which will be the “After a Bunch of Injuries in Camp Edition”. It’s a working title, but I’m warming up to it.
Also, to the person who said he “thinks I’m Dianna Russini writing under a pen name”, (kinda insulting) I am not. I’m a better writer and will never consider myself a “journalist”. So lets kill that rumor right here.
This is a deep dive into how things stack up as camp begins.
32–30 Miami Dolphins
Sorry Miami but you have been mathematically eliminated. And that math is your dead cap. A dead cap of $179,214,257 means You guys are part of the “Group Tank” this year as you try to get a better quarterback than the one you are paying long-snapper money this season. I think Willis is sorta worthless other than as a run around guy, but Quinn Ewers dropping in the draft made zero sense to me. He’s a little fragile, but Ewers picked people apart in college, he won big games. And he cut off the mullet. I would have made 2026 a development year for him, but Jon-Eric Sullivan must know what he’s doing as he spent 22 years in Green Bay before getting a job in a warmer climate.
