NFC North: NFL Wants 18 Games, Draft Prep, Dexter Lawrence Trade Dreams | Who Will Be King👑

NFC North Roundtable: Draft in 15 Days, Dexter Lawrence Trade Buzz, and the NFL’s Push for 18 Games — Hosts from Fans First Sports Network’s NFC North roundtable show “Who Will Be King” preview the NFL Draft (15 days away) and share plans for multi-day livestream coverage, with discussion of the Vikings’ draft preparation under interim GM/cap guru Rob Brzezinski. They debate trade rumors around Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (“Sexy Dexy”), including reported Bears interest, potential draft compensation (first-round pick discussed), and a $27–35M per year extension, while noting cap implications for each NFC North team and Lawrence’s interior pressure impact. The Lions’ possible link to Joey Bosa and offensive line depth with Larry Borom are also covered. The show shifts to broader NFL topics: a proposed 18-game season targeted for 2027, a likely second bye, Super Bowl timing, more international games, and union/CBA negotiations over pay and benefits. They also touch on the Bears’ ongoing stadium saga before closing with network plugs. 00:00 NFC North Anthem Intro 01:44 Wrong Show Cold Open 02:24 Draft Countdown Plans 03:52 Packers Jabs And Smoke Season 04:50 Vikings Draft Without GM 06:27 Lions Linked To Joey Bosa 08:03 Dexter Lawrence Trade Rumors 14:34 Division Fits And Cap Math 22:04 Would You Trade A First 28:00 Break And Bears Stadium Saga 31:15 Stadium Plan Stalls 33:14 Soldier Field Logistics 34:19 Politics And The Bears 36:34 18 Game Season Talk 37:57 International Games Expansion 40:24 Europe Team And Travel 40:47 Supersonic Flight Idea 43:19 Product Dilution Concerns 44:54 CBA Money And Benefits 49:41 Bad Football Tradeoff 51:34 NFL Grabs More Calendar 52:45 Show Plugs And Signoff FAN WITH US!!!  Follow us on Twitter ✖️ for more updates… Pay @TheRealPayday, host of Frustrated Chicago Sports Fan Channel, June @asgjune & M Foster @Mbrfosterchild, hosts of the Bleachers To Speakers [Lions] podcast, and Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare, from @Vikings1stSKOL.
