I GUARANTEE these 3 teams make the playoffs in 2026

Don’t Pay Elite Cornerbacks Year after year we see different names cycle through as the “best” corner in the league, and that’s exactly the point: the production at corner is volatile, short-lived, and rarely worth the massive second contract, which is why I’m out on paying elite CBs — just look at teams like the Kansas City Chiefs who have built a dynasty by drafting and developing corners like Trent McDuffie, L'Jarius Sneed, and Charvarius Ward only to let them walk or trade them before paying top dollar, because they understand corners don’t consistently change games the way quarterbacks, edge rushers, or tackles do — the data backs it up too, from interception leaders like Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland falling off or becoming inconsistent, to Super Bowl teams consistently winning with elite corners still on rookie deals, not massive contracts — the reality is simple: if you have a strong system, a great defensive coordinator, and the ability to draft well, you can replace cornerback production year after year, and instead of overpaying for a position with a short prime, you invest in the positions that actually sustain success and win championships.📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFL #NFLDebate #Cornerbacks #KansasCityChiefs #SauceGardner #JalenRamsey #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

3 Teams Ready to Make the Playoff Jump Every year the playoff picture flips, and heading into 2026 I’m locking in three teams that I truly believe are ready to make that jump: the Dallas Cowboys, the New Orleans Saints, and the Minnesota Vikings — starting with Dallas, it’s simple: elite offensive firepower led by Dak Prescott and now paired with a legit one-two punch at receiver, plus major defensive upgrades and draft capital to fix what was literally the worst defense in the league; New Orleans might be the league’s best kept secret with a potential franchise QB in Tyler Shough, improved run game, and a coaching staff that quietly had them surging late last year despite cap hell; and then Minnesota, who were a quarterback away all season, now bring in Kyler Murray to a roster that already has a top-tier defense under Brian Flores and elite weapons, making them an instant threat if the QB play is even average — all three teams have the pieces, the momentum, and the opportunity to flip the script next season and force their way into the playoff picture.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 2:08 - Dallas Cowboys12:37 - New Orleans Saints20:36 - Minnesota Vikings📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFL #DallasCowboys #NewOrleansSaints #MinnesotaVikings #DakPrescott #KylerMurray #NFLPlayoffs #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

Jaylen Waddle to Denver: The Missing PieceJaylen Waddle heading to Denver might be the move that finally unlocks this Broncos offense, giving Bo Nix a true game-breaking weapon alongside Courtland Sutton and bringing the exact speed, separation, and versatility this unit has been missing for years; when you look back at his early production with the Miami Dolphins — multiple 1,000-yard seasons and elite explosiveness — it’s clear the upside is still there, and now in a system that can scheme him touches, Denver suddenly goes from predictable to dangerous, while on the flip side Miami leans fully into a reset by stacking picks and clearing money, a move that makes sense long-term but puts immediate pressure on Malik Willis to produce in a situation with limited weapons and little stability, making this one of those rare trades where both teams get what they want, but only one might see the payoff right away.📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#JaylenWaddle #DenverBroncos #NFLTrades #BoNix #CourtlandSutton #MalikWillis #MiamiDolphins #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

Chris Streveler: Betting on YourselfChris Streveler coming on the show was a reminder that a football career rarely follows a straight line. From transferring out of Minnesota just to find a chance to play quarterback, to becoming a champion with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and carving out opportunities in the NFL with teams like the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets, his journey has always been built on adaptability. What stood out most was how he explained the difference between the CFL and NFL games — one built on spacing and creativity, the other on timing and precision — and how learning both forced him to evolve as a quarterback. But the bigger theme was development. Streveler talked about how coaching environments, locker room culture, and leadership shape careers far more than most fans realize, especially for young quarterbacks who are often judged too quickly. His path through multiple leagues, systems, and roles shows that longevity in professional football isn’t about hype or headlines. It’s about resilience, growth, and the willingness to keep betting on yourself when the path forward isn’t guaranteed.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction 1:11 - Favourite Free Agency Move3:14 - NFL vs CFL 5:09 - What makes NFL teams 'great'7:55 - Best player you've played with9:14 - How to evaluate pro QB's13:57 - NFL media & what they 'miss'15:23 - Experience in Winnipeg (CFL)18:06 - What has football done for you?📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#ChrisStreveler #NFL #CFL #WinnipegBlueBombers #ArizonaCardinals #NewYorkJets #FootballPodcast #NFLInterview #TheJVShow

Day 2 of NFL Free Agency Delivers Chaos Day two of NFL free agency somehow managed to get even crazier than day one, highlighted by the shocking news that Maxx Crosby failed his physical after being traded to the Baltimore Ravens, throwing the entire move into chaos and leaving Baltimore scrambling after already losing multiple key players. On this episode of The JV Show, JV is joined by Chase Coburn from Chase Sports News to break down everything from the Crosby disaster to major signings across the league. They discuss moves like Tariq Woolen heading to the Philadelphia Eagles, Rashid Shaheed re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks, and the New England Patriots adding Romeo Doubs and Alijah Vera-Tucker to help build around Drake Maye. The episode also dives into the Tennessee Titans aggressively rebuilding around Cam Ward, the Pittsburgh Steelers quietly stacking talent without solving their quarterback problem, and the controversial move of Tua Tagovailoa landing with the Atlanta Falcons. With huge contracts, surprise signings, and teams scrambling to reshape their rosters, day two proved that this free agency period is far from slowing down.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:21 - Maxx Crosby trade DECLINED6:20 - Tariq Woolen (PHI)9:28 - Rashid Shaheed (SEA)13:10 - AVT & Doubs (NE)18:39 - Wan'Dale Robinson + More (TEN)23:14 - Isaiah Likely + More (NYG)27:58 - Rico Dowdle + More (PIT)33:03 - Tua Tagoviola (ATL)🎙️ Find ALL Chase's content: https://www.instagram.com/chases_sports_news/https://www.youtube.com/@UCr-ddC-VbXJPvhWsw5onn_w 🎙️ Listen to the full episode from day 1: https://youtu.be/61mCYNOZQVk?si=0DtJYvFT9A3sZhgX📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFLFreeAgency #NFLNews #MaxxCrosby #Ravens #Patriots #Steelers #Falcons #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

ree Agency Day 1 Was Absolute Chaos Day one of NFL Free Agency delivered some massive moves around the league and a few contracts that already have people scratching their heads. The San Francisco 49ers made headlines by bringing in Mike Evans, giving Brock Purdy a big-bodied red zone weapon and one of the most consistent receivers of the past decade. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs added explosive running back Kenneth Walker, a move that could completely reshape their offense and allow them to address premium positions in the draft. The Las Vegas Raiders were some of the biggest spenders of the day, handing out huge deals to center Tyler Linderbaum and linebacker Nakobe Dean as they continue rebuilding around a young core. We also saw the Indianapolis Colts give Alec Pierce a massive extension, the New York Giants land dynamic tight end Isaiah Likely, and the Miami Dolphins take a swing on quarterback Malik Willis. It’s only day one of free agency, but the league is already shifting fast — and a few teams may have completely changed their trajectory heading into next season.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 2:33 - Mike Evans (SF)6:38 - Alec Pierce (IND)11:26 - Kenneth Walker (KC)15:15 - Jaelen Phillips (CAR)18:32 - Tyler Linderbaum & Nakobe Dean (LVR)23:29 - Malik Willis (MIA)26:53 - Isaiah Likely (NYG)29:27 - Connor McGovern & Dee Alford (BUF)📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFLFreeAgency #NFLNews #MikeEvans #ChiefsKingdom #RaidersNation #Giants #Dolphins #Colts #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

DJ Moore Traded to the Bills The Buffalo Bills finally get their number one receiver, trading for DJ Moore in a deal that sends a second and fifth round pick to the Chicago Bears. For Buffalo, the move makes a ton of sense — they’ve been searching for a true outside weapon ever since the departure of Stefon Diggs, and Moore immediately fills that void. He’s one of the most consistent receivers in the league, rarely misses games, and has quietly produced big numbers throughout his career despite inconsistent quarterback play. Now he joins an offense led by Josh Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady, someone Moore already has familiarity with from their time in Carolina. While the price might feel a little steep and Moore may not carry the superstar name value of guys like Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase, he brings reliability, playmaking ability, and the field-stretching presence Buffalo has been missing. It’s a very “Bills-type” move — adding a proven, productive player who can immediately help a championship window. If Moore can elevate the passing game and take pressure off Khalil Shakir in the slot, this trade could be exactly the piece Buffalo needed for a deeper playoff run.📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#DJMoore #BuffaloBills #NFLTrades #JoshAllen #NFLNews #TheJVShow

Top 10 NFL Free Agents 2026NFL Free Agency is right around the corner and the market is loaded. From George Pickens getting franchise tagged by the Cowboys after a 1,400-yard All-Pro season, to Kyle Pitts finally flashing the production fantasy managers have been begging for, this class has star power. Malik Willis might be the biggest wildcard — a small sample size, big-time tools, and potentially a $30M+ gamble for a QB-needy team. Devin Lloyd is coming off a monster year and could cash in as one of the top linebackers available, while Tyler Linderbaum might quietly be the most important name on the board at center. Then you’ve got weapons like Wan’Dale Robinson, Alec Pierce, and Mike Evans who could instantly change an offense, plus high-upside defensive pieces like Nakobe Dean and Jalen Phillips that contenders will be circling. Some of these guys are getting tagged. Some are getting paid. And some are about to reset the market. Free agency always reshapes the league — and this year is no different.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:45 - George Pickens 6:00 - Kyle Pitts10:06 - Malik Willis15:02 - Devin Lloyd18:48 - Tyler Linderbaum 23:14 - Wan'Dale Robinson26:57 - Nakobe Dean 31:40 - Mike Evans36:08 - Alijah Vera-Tucker37:49 - Jaelen Phillips40:17 - Kenneth Walker44:16 - Connor McGovern46:34 - Boye Mafe📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show📱 Follow Connor on his NFL platform: http://www.youtube.com/@TheHurdle #NFLFreeAgency #NFL #GeorgePickens #KylePitts #MalikWillis #MikeEvans #JalenPhillips #TheJVShow

Grading Every NFL Team’s 2025 SeasonIt’s officially offseason mode, which means it’s time to stop reacting and start evaluating. In this episode, I graded all 32 NFL teams based strictly on the numbers, the film, and what actually translated on Sundays. Some teams validated the process, like the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the resurgent Rams. Others flat out disappointed relative to talent — looking at you, Buffalo, Detroit, and Philadelphia. There were young cores that took real steps forward, like Chicago and Carolina, and there were teams stuck in neutral with generational quarterbacks and nothing to show for it. Coaching changes, cap space, draft capital — all of it matters now, but this grading is about what already happened. If your team underachieved, I said it. If they overdelivered, I gave them their flowers. This is the full league reset before free agency and the draft reshape everything.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction1:33 - AFC East6:50 - AFC North13:35 - AFC South19:25 - AFC West26:28 - NFC East33:03 - NFC North38:27 - NFC South44:31 - NFC West📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFL #NFL2025 #NFLRankings #NFLAnalysis #FreeAgency #NFLDraft #TheJVShow

From Practice Squad to Opportunity: Corey Kiner’s NFL MindsetCorey Kiner coming on the show reminded me why the undrafted path in the NFL is different. No hype, no guarantees, just opportunity and response. From learning under Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco and seeing firsthand what true three-down versatility looks like, to bouncing from Minnesota to Arizona on a few hours’ notice, Kiner’s journey is about mindset more than talent. He talked about modeling parts of his game after elite backs like Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Walker, and Jahmyr Gibbs, but what stood out most was his fear of staying the same. Not fear of headlines. Not fear of critics. Fear of not improving. That’s the separator. Being on scout team, learning multiple playbooks, flying across the country midseason — and still treating every rep like you’re RB1 — that’s how you carve out a role. This isn’t a Cinderella story. It’s a blueprint. If he keeps stacking days the way he described, Arizona didn’t just get depth — they may have found a back who forces his way into real opportunity.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:48 - Elite RB's and paying RB's6:26 - Evolving RB position 8:25 - Shanahan is a GURU10:25 - Life as an UDFA19:38 - Welcome to the NFL moment📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#CoreyKiner #ArizonaCardinals #NFL #Undrafted #RunningBack #TheJVShow
