The Vikings clearly weren’t concerned with Will Fries‘ fractured tibia, as the team handed him a lucrative five-year contract this offseason. The offensive lineman is rewarding the team’s commitment, as he’s “on track” to being fully ready for training camp, per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. Fries suffered a fractured right tibia

While the Tennessee Titans seemingly want rookie Cam Ward to “earn” the starting quarterback job this summer, it’s widely expected that the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will eventually be named the club’s Week 1 QB1 over 2023 second-round choice Will Levis.  For a piece published on

One more draft pick signing to pass along: New York Giants Darius Alexander heads to New York following a successful collegiate career with the Rockets, including a senior season where he compiled 40 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, and 3.5 sacks.

Stefon Diggs‘ absence from the first week of Patriots voluntary OTAs didn’t raise any eyebrows. However, the wideout quickly commanded attention when a video showed him flashing an “unidentified pink substance” while partying on a boat. New coach Mike Vrabel quickly cited making “great decisions,” and there was later speculation

The Tennessee Titans finished tied for the worst record in the NFL last year at 3-14, which helped position them to land Miami QB Cam Ward with the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.  Projecting their 2025 season will be difficult without seeing what the former Miami star can

Thanks in part to Aaron Rodgers and his say on acquisitions, the Jets had no choice but to lean on their veterans in 2024. With Aaron Glenn now controlling the show (and Rodgers no longer on the roster), the team is hoping to be a bit more reliant on their

The Philadelphia Eagles can’t win them all. On Tuesday, the Eagles finalized a trade with the San Francisco 49ers, sending edge-rusher Bryce Huff to the Bay Area.

While the trade may

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts’ pivotal fifth NFL season is getting off to a rocky start. On Monday, NFL.com shared that the No. 4 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft didn’t participate in on-field drills during organized team activities the week of May 25 due to an undisclosed

Will Grier has not thrown a regular season pass since 2019, his first year in the NFL. He is, however, expected to make the Cowboys’ 53-man roster, per Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. The Cowboys’ cap crunch rendered them unable to re-sign backup QB Cooper Rush, who started

The Bills have worked out a number of extensions with ascending players this offseason. Running back James Cook is notably not a member of that group, and no deal appears to be imminent in his case. That is not due to a lack of communication between team and player, however.

It’s a widespread superstition that if a player appears on the game’s cover in the summer, they’ll suffer an injury or their numbers will plummet that season.

Jedrick Wills remains unsigned deep into the offseason. The knee injury he dealt with through 2024 represents a key reason why. The former No. 10 pick was limited to five games last season, his fifth operating (for the most part) as the Browns’ left tackle. That responsibility will likely now fall

“These past couple of months have been very trying as I’ve come to the realization that my football journey is ending and I’m officially retiring from the NFL,” Ragnow wrote on Instagram Monday. “I’ve tried to convince myself that I’m feeling good but I’m not and it’s time to prioritize
