The Stefon Diggs Era in New England is officially one-and-done. According to multiple reports on Wednesday afternoon, the Patriots have informed Diggs they will be releasing him next Wednesday when the new league year officially begins. The move allows the Pats to free up $16.8 million in cap space. Diggs was due to have $6 million guaranteed on his base salary for the upcoming season as of March 13. Diggs…
New Haven shocked a lot of people last season. Making the jump from D2 to D1 isn’t easy and usually includes quite a few growing pains and a whole bunch of losses. But, in 2025, that wasn’t the case for the Chargers. Mark Powell’s squad went 5-5 in a shortened inaugural season. Powell earned a permanent role as head coach due to the initial success, particularly the buy-in his players……
It’s hard to believe, but Stonehill is already entering its fourth full year as a Division 1 program. The Skyhawks have struggled to find consistency since their first surprising year in 2023 where they went 5-5 (4-3 in the conference) after joining the NEC. But, this season, there’s reason to believe some momentum is being built. The program is now fully formed in Eli Gardner’s image when it comes to…
It’s still stunning that Lewis Bond didn’t get an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, but Logan Taylor and Jude Bowry repped the Eagles and ‘O-Line U’ well in Indianapolis. The offensive linemen closed out the event with testing and on-field drills on Sunday. Bond should have been there with his teammates – Q Hutchins also had a very good week – but he’ll be able to show out at…

But, after a bunch of change both on the staff and with the roster for Boston College, there’s a quiet excitement brewing inside the offices of Alumni Stadium. Spring ball starts in nine days (depending on when you’re reading this, the day is March 10) and…
FOXBOROUGH – During Saturday’s second day of the annual MHSFCA Coaches Clinic at Gillette Stadium, new Yale head coach Kevin Cahill was the keynote speaker during lunch. Cahill had a whirlwind week, going from being the head coach of nationally-ranked Lehigh to returning to Yale and replacing Tony Reno at a school he coached at for a decade. No one is Tony Reno and he’s irreplaceable. But, Cahill was able…
Image courtesy of Fordham Athletics Andrew Breiner will reportedly be ‘senior offensive analyst’ on Bill O’Brien’s staff according to Football Scoop. So, while the Eagles don’t technically have an offensive coordinator still (it’s well established NEFJ believes O’Brien should and will ultimately call plays), it’s clear that O’Brien continues to add extremely knowledgable, well-traveled names and faces to the new-look program. Breiner started coaching in 2006, with stops at Lock…
FOXBOROUGH – For an hour on Friday night, Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea had a room full of football coaches hanging on every word. And it had nothing to do with Xs and O’s. Lea was one of two keynote speakers this weekend at the annual Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association clinic held at Gillette Stadium. Vendors and high school and college coaches from around the country head to…
Image courtesy of BC Athletics The good stuff starts on Thursday. It’s NFL Combine week in Indy. Players have gone through interviews with teams and testing, but now the fun begins. That’s because on Thursday, the on-field workouts begin. Edge rushers and defensive linemen kick things off at 3:00 p.m. and BC edge Q Hutchins – who made quite a splash at the Senior Bowl – will be representing the…
A day after Eliot Wolf met with both local and national media on Tuesday, it was Mike Vrabel’s turn down in Indianapolis on Tuesday. Vrabel spoke for just over 20 minutes, hitting on everything from Will Campbell, to meetings with potential draft picks, to Stefon Diggs and the approach the team could take in free agency. Here’s what stood out the most during Vrabel’s availability: On Stefon Diggs’ future with…
