Month: May 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of momentum heading into 2026, largely thanks to their strong quarterback options between veteran Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza. Going into the NFL Draft, the Raiders took center stage with their no-brainer selection of Mendoza, who was undefeated with the Indiana Hoosiers

The Commanders ranked dead last in terms of total defense in 2025 and were the fifth-worst team with respect to passing defense. While Washington added CBs Amik Robertson and Ahkello Witherspoon in free agency this year, the team’s cornerback room still looks as if it could use a quality addition

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

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,

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. During OTAs this week, both quarterbacks were asked about how they’re working with each other as

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. However, that’s just

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

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

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart publicly addressed the controversy that stemmed from him introducing President Donald Trump at a rally last week. Dart said he had had private conversations with teammates about the matter, and that those would remain private. He said his decision to accept the opportunity was

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

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. Jacobs’ attorneys “vehemently” denied the accusations via a statement, but the

MAY 29: $57MM of the $60MM total from this two-year arrangement is fully guaranteed, as detailed by Over the Cap. That includes a $27MM signing bonus. Collins’ cap charge for the coming year was lowered to $14.94MM by the new deal, while his 2027 hit is set to check in at

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

The countdown to June 1 continues as it pertains to an A.J. Brown trade. The swap ending his Eagles tenure is still expected to take place and send him to New England, but there is work to be done between those two teams. An official Brown-to-New England move is not guaranteed to

The Las Vegas Raiders are heading into the new season with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza. Since Mendoza is just getting his feet wet in the NFL, it would make the most sense for Cousins to start. But, if Cousins is hoping to be the Raiders’ starting

Before Von Miller committed to the Commanders last year, he reached out to the Broncos to gauge interest. His initial NFL team did not make an offer, and Denver’s defense proceeded to lead the NFL in sacks. Miller, however, bounced back with a productive year in Washington and intends to

Second-year New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and second-year pass-rusher Abdul Carter unexpectedly became the subjects of a potential controversy after Carter seemed to react negatively online to a video showing Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a recent event in New York.  Carter later shared that he and Dart “spoke earlier as men” and

With the goal of pushing for a Super Bowl championship in 2025, the Packers pulled off a blockbuster Micah Parsons trade with the Cowboys last August. After giving up two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark for Parsons, the Packers immediately handed the superstar outside linebacker a four-year, $188MM

This situation with Josh Jacobs has unexpectedly made things very uneasy over a critically important position in the Green Bay Packers offense. The front office is still looking to sort out the details after Jacobs was arrested on five charges, but if league discipline or a long-term absence occurs, then

MAY 27: Of James’ $57.5MM guarantee, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio notes $44MM is guaranteed at signing. That covers the deal’s first two years. James received early protection on 2028, however, with Florio adding $13.5MM of James’ $24.6MM salary is guaranteed for injury at signing. That will shift to a

The New England Patriots faced harsh criticism for their somewhat easier schedule last season. Now, fresh off a heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl, Mike Vrabel’s team will look to prove that last year’s success wasn’t a fluke. That’s why they’re keeping an eye out for A.J. Brown and his

Packers running back Josh Jacobs was arrested today and booked on five charges, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The charges include battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. The strangulation charge is a felony, with the other

The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department arrested Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs and booked him into Brown County Jail on Tuesday. Police received a complaint on Jacobs this past Saturday at approximately 9:37 a.m. ET, which spurred an investigation. Consequently, he now faces five charges: battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to

The NFL’s ongoing battle with the state of Florida over the Rooney Rule took another turn this month when attorney general James Uthmeier issued a 15-page subpoena to the league with a June 12 deadline to comply. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has since said (via Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein) that

Second-year New York Giants pass-rusher Abdul Carter generated headlines when he took to social media to share what seemed to be a negative reaction to a video showing second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a recent event in New York.  Carter later posted on X (formerly known as Twitter)
