We know the big stories surrounding the 49ers and Raiders. But what else is going on in the NFL leading up to the first game of the 2022 season?

Jeff Howe, NFL reporter for The Athletic, joined Cattles & Ramie on Tuesday to discuss the biggest stories leading into week 1. He also shared his thoughts on the biggest storylines for the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders.

Topics discussed include:

  • The reaction around the league when news broke of Jimmy Garoppolo staying in San Francisco
  • If Trey Lance struggles and Garoppolo steps in, does that divide the locker room?
  • What is Josh McDaniels’ impact going to look like on the Raiders?
  • The Raiders might have the largest gap between their floor and ceiling.
  • The AFC West is so talented, but it also has so many question marks.
  • Why the situation in New England with Mac Jones is in flux and different?
