Today on Zero Blitz, Charles McDonald and Frank Schwab dive into predicting the fate of the worst six NFL teams in 2024. They kick off the discussion by sharing their thoughts on recent wide receiver contract extensions. Will Tee Higgins return to the Bengals next season? What’s the deal with Brandon Aiyuk’s TikTok video hinting that the 49ers don’t want him back?
Moving on, they take a look at this year’s Hard Knocks coverage and debate whether the new format, which covers multiple teams, will be more exciting than previous seasons. After the break, McDonald and Schwab analyze six struggling teams in the league to see if they can surpass expectations.
