Episode Details

NFC North Roundtable: Draft in 15 Days, Dexter Lawrence Trade Buzz, and the NFL’s Push for 18 Games — Hosts from Fans First Sports Network’s NFC North roundtable show “Who Will Be King” preview the NFL Draft (15 days away) and share plans for multi-day livestream coverage, with discussion of the Vikings’ draft preparation under interim GM/cap guru Rob Brzezinski. They debate trade rumors around Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (“Sexy Dexy”), including reported Bears interest, potential draft compensation (first-round pick discussed), and a $27–35M per year extension, while noting cap implications for each NFC North team and Lawrence’s interior pressure impact. The Lions’ possible link to Joey Bosa and offensive line depth with Larry Borom are also covered. The show shifts to broader NFL topics: a proposed 18-game season targeted for 2027, a likely second bye, Super Bowl timing, more international games, and union/CBA negotiations over pay and benefits. They also touch on the Bears’ ongoing stadium saga before closing with network plugs.
