It’s no secret that NFL team owners want to move to an 18-game regular season as soon as next year, so much so that the league hasn’t yet finalized a date for Super Bowl LXII in February 2028.  It sounds like those owners may be accepting defeat regarding conversations with

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider has a way of doing business, and he won’t change it after all these years. The Seahawks don’t give contract extensions early, and he won’t make an exception, not even for Sam Darnold after a Super Bowl-winning season. Of course, that doesn’t mean the

The Browns’ next franchise passer does not appear to be on the roster yet, but for now, Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are competing for the starting quarterback job.

The Seahawks are not close to signing star cornerback Devon Witherspoon to an extension, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson.

With OTAs underway and expectations rising across the NFL, some organizations are clearly entering the season knowing anything short of a deep playoff run

The Chiefs‘ issues at wide receiver have impacted their offensive production during the mid-2020s.
