One of my all-time favorite jokes (which may or may not be the untold “joke” from Big Shield) is a simple one that was told by David Letterman during a week of shows from Las Vegas in 1987. It went like this. (And, yes, I found the episode on YouTube.) “Something really odd happened to […]

49ers cornerback Renardo Green was a full-time starter in 2025, but as he enters his third season, his spot may not be secure. Green will go into training camp “on the hot seat,” per Cam Inman of the Mercury News. The 49ers spent a second-round pick in 2024 on Green, who went 64th overall after […]

Retired point guard Patrick Beverley may not have the answers on LeBron James’ free agency after all. Beverley wrote Monday morning that “rumor has it Bron makes his decision today.” The day came and went without James agreeing to a deal. That brought a response from Beverley on Tuesday: This article will be updated soon […]

Back in March, New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor insisted that he thought at the time that second-year pro Jaxson Dart was “going to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this upcoming season.”  It appears nothing happened during the Giants’ offseason program to change Eluemunor’s mind regarding his Dart prediction. Jermaine Eluemunor: Jaxson Dart is “going […]

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says his new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion, has proven himself before calling a single play. Sirianni says the work ethic Mannion has displayed this offseason is showing how hard he’s going to try to improve the Eagles’ offense. “This dude loves football and he loves to work,” Sirianni said, via […]

Time is running out for the Buccaneers to work out a Baker Mayfield extension if he holds firm on his self-imposed negotiating deadline.

Earlier this offseason, Mayfield […]

As Aaron Rodgers enters his final NFL season, he’ll seemingly have his family by his side. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback posted photos with his parents and brothers on social media on Monday, captioning the post “Another bonding week.” Rodgers has been estranged from his family for years, and they had a public feud as described […]

This time last year, the New England Patriots were a team brimming more with potential than expectations. But after winning 14 games and making a Super Bowl appearance last season, Drake Maye and Co. aren’t flying under the radar any longer as they report for 2026 training camp.  Maye led the NFL in completion percentage […]

Free agent safety Jordan Whitehead is cleared to resume his football career, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports. Dr. Alex Vaccaro, the Eagles’ spine specialist, has signed off on Whitehead’s return from neck surgery.

Although the Raiders spent the first overall pick in this year’s draft on former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, veteran free agent pickup Kirk Cousins is the favorite to win the starting job. As rookie head coach Klint Kubiak eases Mendoza in, he will likely “sprinkle” in some first-team reps for the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner […]

Roger Goodell became the NFL’s Commissioner twenty years ago next month. His tenure is expected to continue beyond the expiration of his current contract in March. Mark Maske reports for Front Office Sports that NFL owners expect to extend Goodell’s deal “in the coming months.” That’s cutting it close, for both sides. The owners will […]

Long before he made it to the National Football League, Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was already a polarizing figure. He was one of the most popular athletes in recent college football history, but he also had his fair share of detractors, including former NFL head coach Rex Ryan. Ryan has been overly critical of Sanders’ […]

Entering his third year in the NFL, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is reportedly facing questions about his future with the team.

Offering some context to previous reports regarding the two finalists that emerged to purchase the Seahawks – the winning group led by Vinod Khosla and the runner-up group led by Aditya Mittal – Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk says the endgame of the competition became a genuine auction.

In a statement issued to PFT and others on Sunday, attorney Mike Caspino said the allegations of gambling violations against Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold are “blatantly false.” Caspino elaborated on his position in comments to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. had the game-winning homer during Sunday’s 2-1 win over the New York Yankees, and the star infielder clearly felt like such a moment was overdue, telling reporters after the game that he’s “sucked all season.” The 28-year-old came into Sunday hitting .224 with 14 homers, 38 RBI, 49 runs, 26 stolen bases […]

It was a bit of a disappointment not to see former Buccaneers kicker Jose Borregales find his place in the NFL. The former Lou Groza-winner quickly fizzled out of Tampa Bay and saw similarly unsuccessful stays in the XFL and CFL. According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, though, Borregales will be pursuing a new […]

Two years after multiple NFL stars had their residences burglarized while they weren’t home, the home of Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was invaded on Saturday while he and his family were inside.

Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions is one of those quarterbacks that’s flown a bit under the radar. He has the numbers. For the 2024-25 season, Goff played in all 17 games and led the crew with a completion percentage of 72.4%, 4,629 passing yards, 37 passing touchdowns and a 111.8 passer rating, according to […]

The Cardinals don’t have a quarterback competition. In theory. But a competition possibly could emerge. Jacoby Brissett is the starter. He’s not happy with a contract that paid him to be a backup. The Cardinals have yet to adjust his contract to compensate him fairly to be the QB1. Brissett stayed away from the voluntary […]

After re-signing Sam Ehlinger in March, the Broncos have their three-man quarterback group from 2025 in place: Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham, and Ehlinger. Stidham has worked as Denver’s second-string passer in each of the past three seasons, operating as Russell Wilson’s QB2 in 2023 and then as Nix’s backup over the 2024-25 campaigns. According to […]

No Superstar’s path to Minneapolis and SummerSlam is cloudier and more uncertain than Sami Zayn’s. He reinvented himself as the Last Real Good Guy, won the Undisputed WWE Championship that had eluded him, lost it nine days later, and has remained in the main event scene. Yet, with Punk and Rhodes slated for a match-up, […]

Tom Brady is a man of many talents. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is a successful investor, has starred in countless ads and commercials and has fully transitioned to a career in broadcasting. Nevertheless, it looks like the New England Patriots legend is far from done cashing checks and side quests. Talking at Fanatics Fest […]
