Good afternoon, TNSML. I hope you are having a fantastic day.Here is what is happening around your league.

HEADLINERS

RAIDERS WIN SUPER BOWL, SENDS MESSAGE TO CHARGERS, BRONCOS, AND TEXANS.

The Las Vegas Raiders won the Super Bowl over the Dallas Cowboys, and the matchup didn't come without some drama. Users Noah and Kareem were going back and forth in the group chat after the big game. 

Noah then sent this message to his opponents: "I want to congratulate all the guys on their regular season wins against me. I'm glad they won their championships. Signed, Super Bowl Champion Raiders."

The Raiders went 13-4 last season, losing to the Chargers, Broncos twice, and the Texans. All teams won 12 or more games last season.

Meanwhile, Kareem is focusing on bouncing back. "We are taking it day by day, but Dak Prescott has a chip on his shoulder and sas "We all know we should have won but we let everyone down. This year is the revenge tour."

Cowboys finished the season 11-6, defeating the Jets, Broncos, and Texans on their way to the Bowl. The Super Bowl finished with a final score of 33-29, with Derek Carr throwing four touchdowns and Dak throwing two. 

JUSTIN HERBERT TO MIAMI

Early last season, the Dolphins expressed commitment to QB Tua Tagovailoa. However, as the season progressed, it became evident that they weren't all in on him. They ended up trading for Kirk Cousins, and benched Tua a couple of times during the season. When the offseason began, they expressed interest in trading for a QB, and parting with their draft capital. 

Now, they've found their guy. The strong-armed Superstar Justin Herbert will join speedy WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Miami. This should bolster that already-dangerous Miami offense. 

"We needed someone who could get the ball to our playmakers," Dolphins user says, "Herbert is a big acquisition. We are glad we made this offer."

The Dolphins reportedly reached out to Buffalo and Kansas City in hopes of landing Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, respectively.

The Panthers, who had just acquired Herbert, provided some clarity to their fans, who were wondering why they would trade for a franchise QB just to trade him away again.

"The plan is to retool our roster around the picks gathered in the Justin Herbert trade. Similar to what the Seahawks did in the Russell Wilson deal. Our roster needs to be roundeed out more."

JETS RECONSTRUCTION

Although they went 12-5 and won the AFC East, the Jets are still looking to retool their roster. They are looking to deal guys like Ashton Davis and Elijah Moore to help bolster their roster in other areas.
