The Cleveland Browns have one of the most fascinating quarterback dilemmas in the NFL heading into the 2026 season, as they juggle a large quarterback room that features second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders, veteran Deshaun Watson, who’s finally healthy following an Achilles injury, Dillon Gabriel and rookie Taylen Green. Sanders gets lots of media attention, but […]

The Illinois legislature is playing beat the clock. But not for a new Bears stadium. Via the Chicago Tribune, balancing the state’s budget has superseded the effort to reach an agreement that will entice the Bears to remain in Illinois. Talks on a plan that would get the Bears to not accept an offer to […]

There has been no shortage of coverage for the situation concerning Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and a potential offseason trade. At this point, it’s become widely accepted that the team will ship Brown off to New England, but they will wait until after June 1 to do so. Well, in the latest development from […]

Just when the Giants thought they were out of the Jaxson Dart-Donald Trump conundrum, Trump pulled them back in.

I know you’re taking some heat […]

There’s a competition going on between Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray for the QB 1 position, and one could say it’s not a friendly competition, at least according to McCarthy’s remarks.

The Connecticut Sun brought back guard Hailey Van Lith on a developmental contract Saturday, according to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou and Kendra Andrews.

Following the strong rookie campaign of Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II and the addition of veteran Pro Bowler David Njoku in free agency, it seems odd to assert that Charlie Kolar — TE3 for the Ravens last year — will be the new TE1 for the Chargers.

On Friday morning, ESPN reported that the Steelers had fired seniors special-teams assistant Derius Swinton II for a violation of team policy. Later in the day, more information emerged. Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports that Swinton was fired for “workplace misconduct.” The nature of the alleged misconduct was not specified. Swinton, 41, has worked for […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers wisely used the majority of their draft picks to go after talent that would help and appease quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Two of their most obvious selections with Rodgers in mind were offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the draft and wide receiver Germie Bernard in the second round. Iheanachor […]

Organized Team Activities in the NFL are non-contact practices. So Lions coach Dan Campbell says they’re not much of a way to evaluate a football player. Asked by a reporter which players had stood out in OTAs, Campbell scoffed at the idea that a player could do anything meaningful to stand out at this time […]

Throughout the offseason, signs have pointed to the Texans waiting until after the 2026 season takes place before authorizing a C.J. Stroud extension. Houston’s QB1 appears to be content with that approach, although he feels he has done enough to warrant a second contract. Having played three years in the NFL, this offseason marks the […]

The Vikings are having a true competition at the quarterback. It’s not shaping up to be much of a competition. Based on this week’s OTA session that was open to the media, newcomer Kyler Murray is well ahead of incumbent starter J.J. McCarthy. Here’s the key quote from Kevin Seifert of ESPN: “Overall, the afternoon […]

As expected, following the NCAA’s denial of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby‘s reinstatement for the 2026 college football season, Sorsby’s team has filed an appeal. The team’s argument (via Ross Dellenger fo Yahoo Sports) leaned heavily on the framing of Sorbsy’s gambling problem as an issue of mental health and asked that, in lieu of […]

Jadarian Price was the final pick of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, and now he is cashing in on that distinction. Price and the Seattle Seahawks reportedly agreed to terms on his rookie contract, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. He’s expected to sign the deal Friday. There wasn’t much negotiating room […]

It was learned on Wednesday that the Brown County District Attorney’s office was “not yet prepared to make a formal charging decision” after Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs was recently arrested on five charges, including a felony charge of strangulation and suffocation.

NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated and former New England Patriots defensive back Jason McCourty are among those who have said that the Patriots acquiring Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is “almost a done deal.”  On Wednesday, Breer addressed what the Patriots will have to give up for Brown via the transaction that can’t become official before […]

The 49ers ended up with not one but two international games in 2026 — one in Australia and one in Mexico. Even though the trip to Melbourne will be much longer than the trip to Mexico City, the Mexico trip will likely keep them away from home even longer than the season-opener down under. “We […]
