MIKE TANIERhas been writing Football Outsiders Almanac chapters for so long that he feels like Ringo making yet another special guest appearance during a Paul McCartney show. Mike recently wrapped up a six-year run as the NFL Lead Columnist for Bleacher Report; his popular Monday Morning Digest feature will presumably be replaced by TikTok videos, cartoon GIFs of Lamar Jackson, and long apologies. A father of two with almost 20 years of experience as an NFL writer, Mike is proof positive that we all get by with a little help from our friends. You can find his work at Fansided.com, Pro Football Network, the New York Times, and here at Football Outsiders.

Notes and analysis on the Pittsburgh Steelers signing Mitchell Trubisky as their likely new starting quarterback, including an early KUBIAK projection.
Kyle Hamilton draft props; Malik Willis-versus-Kyle Pickett draft props; musings on the Amari Cooper, Khalil Mack and Carson Wentz trades; and much more.
Now that the Broncos traded for Russell Wilson, they must do something about their defense. Also: the Chiefs must keep the Honey Badger at home, the Chargers search for run pluggers, and Josh McDaniels brings boredom to Las Vegas.
