Month: June 2025

For much of the 2024 NFL season, it seemed like off-ball linebacker was not going to be an offseason need for the Browns. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Devin Bush, and Jordan Hicks finished the year graded as the seventh-, ninth-, and 11th-best linebackers, respectively, in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus (subscription

Earlier this month, the Titans announced several changes to their front office staff. The team’s senior writer/editor Jim Wyatt detailed a number of promotions and new hires that pertain to the areas of staff that we cover. To start, we already reported on Tennessee’s hiring of former Pitt director of

The 2025 NFL offseason was certainly an interesting one for new Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. After a career year in 2024 on a one-year “prove-it” contract with the Vikings, Darnold made it clear to his suitors that he was looking for multiple years on a contract moving forward. We saw

Jawaan Taylor carried considerable value as a 2023 free agent. Ranked third on PFR’s FA list heading into that league year, the four-season Jaguars right tackle starter fetched a player-friendly contract from a Chiefs team that paid up to replace Andrew Wylie. The Chiefs gave Taylor a four-year, $80MM deal

After finishing 29th in the NFL last year in rushing yards, the Browns made a concerted effort this offseason to getting younger in their running backs room. In fact, Cleveland doubled down in the draft, using two of their seven picks on the position, becoming the first team in NFL

Brandon Beane gave a notable post-draft interview taking exception to radio criticism of his team’s wide receiver depth chart. The Bills may not have a true No. 1-level wideout post-Stefon Diggs, but they did do some work at the position this offseason. Buffalo signed Josh Palmer early in free agency,

Wilks started his NFL career as a defensive backs coach with the Bears in 2006 and last served as a defensive coordinator with the 49ers in 2023 where his team allowed just 17.5 points per game, third-fewest in the league. He was also head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in

The 2021 draft class has produced some of the NFL’s best players. Patrick Surtain claimed Defensive Player of the Year acclaim, after signing a monster extension that reset the cornerback market, and Ja’Marr Chase posted a triple-crown campaign that ended up pushing the wide receiver market past $40MM per year.

Trade rumors continue to surround Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and a new report suggests he has a clear preference for where he would like to go. ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed in an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” Friday that Ramsey’s preference would be to return to the West

A midseason ankle injury in 2023 moved Evan Neal out of the Giants’ starting lineup, and the former top-10 pick’s hopes of regaining his starting right tackle job did not produce a serious charge last summer. As a result, the Giants admitted partial defeat on their former No. 7 overall

Shedeur Sanders was pulled over for speeding on two separate occasions in Ohio this month, and an interaction he had with one police officer proved that the former Colorado star is not a universally recognizable figure. Sanders was pulled over on June 6 in Medina County, Ohio, after police allegedly

Whispers emerged in early March suggesting that the Las Vegas Raiders, in need of an upgrade at quarterback, were not all that interested in signing Sam Darnold, the top signal-caller of this year’s free-agency class.  For a piece published Thursday, The Athletic’s Michael Silver offered more information about why the Raiders

The Chargers announced two promotions and two new hires earlier this month in their front office. In the scouting department, Mike Jasinski was promoted to national scout, Jaylen Bannerman-Oden was promoted to area scout, and Kevin Weidl was hired as a national scout. In analytics, Maya Harvey was hired as

It’s a hot take to say the Denver Broncos could surprise the Kansas City Chiefs this season and win the AFC West. While some are predicting it could happen, one Broncos insider says Denver head coach Sean Payton has his team believing they are simply better than the Chiefs. In

The quarterbacks room in Cleveland is currently a bit overcrowded as four new faces vie for the starting job vacated by an injured Deshaun Watson. Veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco seem to be in the lead for the starting gig, but each are on only a one-year deal, and

Of course, discipline only works when all parties are on board, something linebacker Bradley Chubb thinks will be different this year. “I’m going to say last year, we were lying honestly,” Chubb told reporters. “It’s not necessarily him changing, it’s more about us, man, about how we accept what he’s telling

Today’s minor moves as we head into the weekend: Houston Texans Kansas City Chiefs New Orleans Saints Addington’s placement on the waiver wire comes as a corresponding move to cornerback Damon Arnette‘s signing. Addington was presumed to be Houston’s starting long snapper after they allowed Jon Weeks to depart in free

Leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, quarterback Jaxson Dart was linked with clubs such as the Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.  However, none of those teams selected Dart before the New York Giants traded up to make him the

June 20th, 2025 at 5:52pm CST by Adam La Rose Friday’s lone draft pick signing: New England Patriots With Woodson now on the books, running back TreVeyon Henderson is the only member of New England’s draft class which has not yet signed. A deal for the latter may not be

Despite putting up their least productive seasons as a combination in 2024-25, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce still played their part in getting the Kansas City Chiefs back to the Super Bowl.  But with Super Bowl LIX ending with a lopsided victory for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kelce turning 36

With minicamps wrapped up around the NFL, player movement is set to quiet down until training camps begin next month. In the case of Jalen Ramsey, therefore, his post-Dolphins future could remain uncertain for several weeks. Team and player have mutually decided to part ways in this case, with a falling

The Baltimore Ravens are one of the more consistent regular-season teams in the NFL with HC John Harbaugh and QB Lamar Jackson running the show. Sportsbooks expect the reigning AFC North champs to win double-digit games for the seventh time in the past eight seasons. Regular-season win total: 11.5 (BetMGM) 

The Pittsburgh Steelers were so convinced that Aaron Rodgers is the right fit for their team that they waited around for months to sign him, but there are still plenty of questions surrounding the team. Rodgers is learning a third offense in as many seasons. The Steelers believe he will

Mike Hilton remains unsigned deep into the offseason, leaving the Bengals in line for a new starting slot corner. The team appears set to turn to an internal option to take over first-team duties on the inside. Hilton was a mainstay in the secondary during his Cincinnati tenure (2021-24), totaling 64

The Houston Texans are the only team in the AFC South projected to finish with a winning record, and it’s easy to understand why. They arguably have the best quarterback in the division and have made the playoffs in the last two seasons with a 10-7 record. Oddsmakers predict that

One of the major cornerback dominoes recently fell with Jaire Alexander electing to join the Ravens. That leaves Jalen Ramsey in place as a high-profile cover man still available via trade. It has long been known Ramsey and the Dolphins will pursue a parting of ways this offseason. With the calendar having flipped to

Jalen Ramsey has told the Miami Dolphins that he wants out, and one rumored landing spot for the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive back is a reunion with the Los Angeles Rams.  Rams head coach Sean McVay, who won a Super Bowl with Ramsey in L.A. in 2021, was asked about

For the Browns, a key talking point through training camp and the preseason will of course be the team’s quarterback competition. Other position battles will be taking place this summer, though, and the defensive line will be a position group to watch. Cleveland has free agent addition Maliek Collins set to occupy

The Bears showed persistent interest in Ryan Bates, inking the veteran offensive lineman to an offer sheet in 2022. Two years later, a trade was worked out with the Bills which sent him to Chicago. Upon arrival in the Windy City, Bates was unable to secure a starting spot along

Fans and analysts continue to wonder how new Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will get along with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith through Week 18 of the upcoming season.  During a recent appearance on Pittsburgh radio station 102.5 WDVE, former Steelers running back and current NFL analyst Merril Hoge offered
