- The Jacksonville Jaguars made major moves ahead of the NFL trade deadline, acquiring All-Pro safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Jordan Davis to strengthen their roster for a potential AFC title run.
- The College Football Playoff will expand to 24 teams starting in the 2027 season, leading to schedule changes including a nine-game conference schedule and an earlier Army-Navy game.
