Gregg Rosenthal · Jul 20, 2026
Rosenthal walked through 35 position battles, naming favorites at a number of jobs — Ethan Posk at center in Baltimore, Jahdae Barron eventually taking Riley Moss's outside corner job in Denver, Omarion Hampton as the Chargers' lead back, Braxton Jones and Blake Miller at tackle — and said he expects the Buccaneers to make the playoffs and Zach Charbonnet to open the year on PUP or short-term IR.
“But that Baron just takes that job no matter what they're saying publicly.”
