Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown said he’s where he needs to be in his rehab. But Overshown, who tore the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee in Week 14, will miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. The Cowboys covered themselves by trading for Titans linebacker Kenneth

Former Colts coach Chuck Pagano ended his retirement in January to join the Ravens as the team’s senior secondary coach. It’s not a first step toward trying to be a head coach again. “No, sir,” Pagano said Thursday, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, when asked if he aspires to be

Evan Engram entered the NFL eight years ago, as a first-round pick of the Giants. Cut by the Jaguars after five years in New York and three in Jacksonville, Engram has landed with the Broncos. He was asked on Thursday why he chose Denver. “Everything about it,” Engram told reporters.

The Steelers have announced the signing of the Aaron Rodgers contract. They posted his superlatives on social media (FYI, he’s very big on the TD-to-interception ratio). And they’ve made the case for what the fans should expect, with a story on the team’s official website tweeted to its 3.7 million

The Ravens are in the OTA portion of their offseason work and attendance is voluntary, so quarterback Lamar Jackson has opted not to take part in most of the workouts. Jackson has attended one session since the Ravens moved into this phase and head coach John Harbaugh was asked about

The Browns announced linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will not play in 2025 after suffering a neck injury midway through the 2024 season. But the franchise will still have him around during the coming season, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz told reporters this week. “JOK was on his way to [an] All-Pro season

The Browns thought highly enough of Mason Graham to make the defensive lineman the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft, but they still think there’s more room for him to grow as a pro player. Graham spent a lot of time at Michigan occupying blockers and opening doors for

Though the Jaguars did not have much team success in 2024, receiver Brian Thomas Jr. demonstrated his value as a first-round pick by catching 87 passes for 1,282 yards with 10 touchdowns. Now he wants to pass along what he learned to Jacksonville’s 2025 first-round pick Travis Hunter, in part

When Ben Johnson was the offensive coordinator of the Lions, he wasn’t afraid to run trick plays that put the ball into the hands of the team’s offensive linemen and it looks like he’ll be bringing some of that unpredictability to the Bears. Johnson closed out his first mandatory minicamp

As a third-round draft pick last year, Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton had a disappointing rookie season, culminating in the Bengals benching him for the season finale and not even letting him take the trip to Pittsburgh. Burton says that got his attention. “Nobody should be happy with it,” Burton

Everybody loves free stuff. This weekend, in honor of the fact that I’ll be completing my 60th trip around the sun (if I make it two more days without dropping dead), I’m giving you free stuff. From time to time, I’ve made the Father of Mine or Son of Mine

The Steelers have not yet replaced receiver George Pickens. Jets receiver Allen Lazard is “in play” to be acquired via trade, now that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has agreed to terms. But there’s an important question to consider before automatically reuniting Rodgers and Lazard, again: Does Lazard want to do that?

It’s never easy to know exactly what you have in a player during unpadded, non-contact practices in the spring, but Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr has been impressed by what he’s seen from second-round pick Mike Green thus far. Green led FBS players with 17 sacks while playing for Marshall

For many first-round picks, a move to a less glamorous position would be a bone of contention. Trevor Penning isn’t viewing his position change that way. The Saints drafted Penning as a tackle, but they added Taliese Fuaga and Kelvin Banks in the last two first rounds and they have

It looks like the Colts avoided a double dose of bad injury news on Thursday. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had to leave practice early, but multiple reports say that he avoided a serious injury. Pittman banged knees with a teammate before exiting the field for further evaluation. The Pittman

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Mac Jones once looked like such a perfect match that when the 49ers traded three first-round picks to move up in the 2021 NFL draft, many people initially thought it was to draft Jones. As it turned out, neither the 49ers’ decision to

Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan says he’s benefiting from sharing a meeting room with a couple of veterans during Carolina’s offseason work. McMillan said veteran wide receivers Hunter Renfrow and Adam Thielen have been teaching him the ins and outs of the NFL from the perspective of two players

There’s been a development in the Colts’ quarterback competition. Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters on Thursday that Anthony Richardson will not participate in OTAs this week or minicamp next week with a right shoulder injury. Via James Boyd of TheAthletic.com, Steichen noted that Richardson’s injury is to the same

There’s a new wide receiver on the Eagles’ depth chart. The team announced the signing of Ife Adeyi on Thursday. There was no corresponding move to create space on the 90-man roster and the Eagles now have 13 wideouts. Adeyi went undrafted in April and tried out for the Eagles

Lions head coach Dan Campbell promoted Kelvin Sheppard from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator this offseason, and Campbell says he’s very pleased with the progress he’s seeing. Campbell said the Lions are “probably more up to speed defensively” than offensively and that Sheppard has all the players and coaches on

The Associated Press issued the various 2024 NFL regular-season awards during Super Bowl week. Fifty media members vote on the awards. At some point after the awards were announced, one of the 50 ballots was dumped. “AP removed an invalid ballot that was inadvertently included in its NFL Awards tabulation

Steelers tight end Donald Parham tore his Achilles during Tuesday’s organized team activity. The team officially ended Parham’s season Thursday, placing him on injured reserve. The Steelers have had on-again, off-again talks with the Dolphins about tight end Jonnu Smith. They do not have much depth behind Pat Freiermuth. Parham

There’s more potential injury news out of Indianapolis on Thursday. After head coach Shane Steichen announced quarterback Anthony Richardson is out with a shoulder issue, multiple reporters note that receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had to exit practice early with an apparent injury. It’s currently unclear exactly what happened and what

It’s finally over. After months of waiting and speculation and mystery, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has informed the Steelers that he plans to sign a contract with the team. He also will attend next week’s mandatory minicamp. It’s reportedly a one-year deal; there could be some voidable stuff on the back

Saints wide receiver Chris Olave’s name has come up in trade chatter this offseason, but it doesn’t sound like the team is motivated to move him to another city. Head coach Kellen Moore was asked about that chatter during a Thursday press conference and said “people want good players” in

In past offseasons, Rams coach Sean McVay has talked about feeling burned out, and considered retiring — even though he’s still just 39 years old. But McVay now says he can’t imagine himself walking away from coaching. McVay credited former Boise State and Washington head coach Chris Petersen, who reached

With Liam Coen on board as head coach and offensive play-caller, the Jaguars are planning for quarterback Trevor Lawrence to improve his play in 2025. One element Coen and the team’s staff have worked with Lawrence on is his footwork. On Thursday, Coen told reporters that the quarterback has made

It’s official. Until it’s official. The Steelers have announced that they have agreed to terms with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, pending a physical.. It’s a one-year contract. The terms will be leaked once the contract is filed, if not sooner. The threshold question is whether will be paid the $10 million
