NFL Combine 2026: $301M Salary Cap, Sonny Styles EXPLODES & Is Arm Length Hurting Rueben Bain?

The NFL Combine 2026 is officially underway and we’re breaking down all the biggest headlines from Day 1.

🚨 The NFL salary cap has officially been set at $301.2 million, a massive $22 million increase from last season. What does this mean for teams like the Miami Dolphins? How will it impact contract negotiations, free agency, restructures, and roster building heading into the 2026 NFL season?

We also dive into the biggest riser so far at the Combine — Sonny Styles. At 6’4”, 245 lbs with elite speed and explosiveness, did he just play himself into the Top 5 of the NFL Draft? We break down his measurables, versatility, and why Ohio State keeps producing elite defensive talent.

Then we get into the debate surrounding Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr.. Does arm length actually matter? Or is this another classic NFL Combine overreaction? We compare tape vs. measurables and discuss whether Bain could realistically slide in the draft — and what that means for teams picking in the Top 15.
