Heed the Call NFL Podcast with Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler

Arif Hassan, founder of Wide Left Football and Vikings analyst, breaks down Minnesota’s cap questions and defensive attrition. Dave Hellman, The Athletic writer and Cowboys watcher, dissects the NFC East — Philly’s line needs, Dallas’ offseason moves, and Washington’s pick dilemmas. They race through team needs across the NFC North and East with quick takes and spirited debate.

Conor Orr, NFL reporter and analyst, helps build a fictional roster of free agents 30 and older. They pitch wild and sensible rule tweaks, debate a fourth-and-15 onside idea, and craft an offense, specialists, and a veteran defense. Expect gritty roster talk, kooky scoring proposals, and lively lineup debate.

Matt Harmon, football writer and tape analyst known for Reception Perception and Yahoo coverage. He breaks down AFC South needs: Houston’s urgent line help, Jacksonville’s draft flexibility and Brian Thomas’ upside, Indy’s receiver questions and Kevin’s regression risk, and Tennessee’s interior line vs. upside debates. Short, sharp takes on how scouting shapes team plans.

Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are back for Day 2 of the annual NFL league meetings reacting to the latest news and quotes from Phoenix, Arizona. First, we tour through the latest NFL head coaches photo before providing an update on why Browns coach Todd Monken missed the picture. Eagles GM Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni insist that WR AJ Brown is currently on the Eagles, which is true, but that doesn't mean much going forward, especially when Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is still talking about "upgrading the roster." Monken and Browns owner Jimmy Haslem have given QB Deshaun Watson a fresh start, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sees long-term plans with WR George Pickens, and we react to more notable quotes. Then, the heroes square off head to head in a battle of guessing team win totals for 2026. 0:00 NFL Anual Meetings Day 2 3:09 Coaches Photo 12:49 NFL Rule Changes 22:28 A.J.
