FAMU ‌Football Faces Uphill‍ Battle Despite Homecoming Hopes

TALLAHASSEE,FL – Despite the electric atmosphere expected for Saturday’s homecoming game against ⁣Alcorn State,the Florida A&M Rattlers ‍are grappling with ‌a ‌challenging season turnaround,seeking their first ⁢Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) win. The matchup, scheduled for 4 p.m. at Bragg Memorial Stadium, ‍represents a⁣ critical opportunity⁢ for FAMU to build momentum amidst a season marked by inconsistency.

Head coach Roderick Colzie acknowledges the weight ⁤of expectations surrounding the homecoming contest, stating,‍ “It’s going to be a packed house. Nobody’s‍ going to worry about any records. They’re coming here to make sure that we win.” However, the Rattlers enter the game needing a victory to‍ avoid⁢ further ⁢setbacks in the SWAC‍ standings and to deliver a positive experience for the anticipated large crowd ⁤of fans and⁢ alumni.

The Rattlers’ remaining schedule presents a demanding path. Following the Alcorn State game on Oct. ⁤11, FAMU faces road contests at Southern (Oct.25) and Arkansas-Pine Bluff ⁣(nov. 8), as⁢ well as a home game ⁣against Jackson State (Nov. 1).⁣ The season culminates with the annual Florida Classic ⁣against Bethune-Cookman ⁣on Nov. 22 at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium and a potential makeup⁢ game at mississippi‌ Valley State on ‌Nov.29.

A potential SWAC Championship Game ⁢appearance on Dec. 6 and a ⁢Celebration‍ Bowl berth on Dec. 13‌ remain distant‌ possibilities, contingent‍ on significant improvement⁤ and⁤ consistent wins. Colzie emphasized the importance of focusing on the present, saying, ”All the stuff that happens Monday to Friday, none of that means a whole lot‍ until that game happens on Saturday.So, we’ve got⁤ to make sure we handle business.”

Florida⁤ A&M Football’s Remaining 2025 Schedule:

* Week 8: Saturday, Oct. ‌18 ― vs. Alcorn State (SWAC/Homecoming), 4 p.m., ESPN⁣ Plus
* Week 9: Saturday, Oct. 25 ― at Southern‌ (SWAC), 5 ⁤p.m., SWAC TV

A.J. Brown Trade Rumors: Where Could the Eagles Star Go?

by Priya Shah – Business Editor October 12, 2025

written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

BREAKING: Eagles May Explore ⁣Trade Options for A.J. Brown, Potential ⁤Destinations Emerge

The philadelphia‍ Eagles coudl consider trading⁣ star wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, according to a review of his contract‌ details and potential team⁣ needs across the league. BrownS contract,signed in April 2024,includes significant ‍dead money implications if moved,but strategic timing could ‍yield cap savings for Philadelphia. This‍ situation arises as the Eagles navigate a tight salary⁢ cap and evaluate long-term roster construction, potentially ‌opening opportunities for other teams to acquire a proven No. 1 receiver.

Brown’s current contract runs through 2029, wiht a⁣ void year in 2030. His cap numbers escalate significantly in the coming‌ years: $25.18 million in 2025, $29.31 million in 2029, and $53.52 million in the void year. Cutting him before June 1⁤ in 2026 would ‍result in ⁤$72.45 million in dead money and a $49 million cap penalty, while a post-June 1 cut reduces those figures to $45.35 million and $21.96 million, respectively. These financial considerations will heavily influence‌ any potential trade discussions.

Here are four potential landing spots for Brown, analyzing the fit and feasibility:

1. Kansas‍ City Chiefs: The Chiefs, consistently contending for ⁢Super Bowls, could benefit from adding a receiver of Brown’s caliber to pair with‌ Rashee Rice. While cap space is limited, Kansas City is known for creatively structuring deals for key players. A trade could be facilitated by packaging draft picks.

2. Chicago Bears: With Caleb Williams entering his second season, the Bears ⁣are‌ poised to become a competitive force in the⁣ NFC. Brown would immediately elevate their⁣ receiving ‌corps,‌ providing Williams with a reliable target. Chicago has ample cap‌ space and draft capital to absorb Brown’s contract.

3. New England Patriots: ‌The Patriots are undergoing a rebuild under Jerod Mayo and⁣ need to establish playmakers for Drake Maye. Brown would instantly become their top ⁤receiving threat, offering a veteran presence and proven production. New England possesses significant cap flexibility.

4. Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud has quickly established himself as a franchise ⁢quarterback, and the Texans are building a young, dynamic offence. Adding Brown would give Stroud another elite weapon, complementing ⁣Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins. Houston has the resources‍ to accommodate Brown’s contract.
