The NFL world was left stunned this summer when the NFL Network suddenly cancelled its popular podcast ‘Around The NFL’. The show, which aired multiple times a week, was a staple of many fans’ weekly routines and its cancellation has left a void in the NFL podcasting landscape.

The NFL Network’s cancellation of ‘Around The NFL’ has sparked widespread dismay

The news was confirmed by the network, which stated that the show would be replaced by a new program called NFL Daily, hosted by Rosenthal. The move has sparked widespread dismay among fans, who have taken to social media to express their shock and sadness at the decision.

But the cancellation of ‘Around The NFL’ is not an isolated incident. The NFL Network has been making significant cuts to its programming and personnel in recent months. Earlier this year, the network cancelled NFL Total Access after 21 years on the air, and several high-profile on-air talent have departed the network, including Michael Irvin, Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer, Melissa Stark, and Will Selva.

The NFL Network’s decision to cancel ‘Around The NFL’ has also sparked concerns about the future of the network’s programming. The network has been facing increased competition from other sports media outlets, and the cancellation of popular shows like ‘Around The NFL’ and NFL Total Access has raised questions about its ability to attract and retain top talent.

In other NFL news, Pro Football Network analyst Anthony DiBona has sparked controversy by naming Leonard Williams as the Seattle Seahawks’ most overrated player. DiBona’s reasoning was based on Williams’ relatively low sack total last season, but as many have pointed out, this is an outdated way of evaluating a player’s performance.

Williams, who signed a three-year, $64.5 million contract with the Seahawks this offseason, is widely regarded as one of the top interior defensive linemen in the NFL. He finished last season with 54 pressures, good for 13th in the league among interior defensive linemen.

Finally, a new study has revealed which college football teams have produced the most NFL players in 2024. The study, which was conducted by Spotrac, found that the top five teams are Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Michigan, and Georgia.
