By Rory Parks | at August 30, 2026 8:28 am The Bills are trading center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger to the Colts, per The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero. To no surprise, the compensation is minimal, as Pelissero reports Buffalo is including a 2027 seventh-rounder in the deal and is receiving a 2027

With the season opener just around the corner, the Green Bay Packers still don’t know much about Josh Jacobs’ situation. The superstar running back was arrested earlier in the offseason, and he’s now facing two misdemeanor charges stemming from the alleged incident.

In April, Spencer Rattler was mentioned as a potential trade candidate given Tyler Shough‘s status as the Saints’ starting quarterback.

The Minnesota Vikings seem ready to move on from J.J. McCarthy. They chose Kyler Murray as their starter, and it might not be the last time the Michigan product is demoted. He alternated second-team reps with Carson Wentz after an erratic preseason performance, and the veteran might hold an edge to

The Bears received encouraging injury news recently, with Ozzy Trapilo coming off the active/PUP list and getting in more than a week’s worth of practices. It will take more time for the second-year tackle to recover from the patellar tendon tear he suffered in January, however. The 2025 second-round pick

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams can now spend way more on his garden that was featured in HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”  On Thursday, the Seahawks and Williams agreed to a three-year, $90M extension with $56M guaranteed, via multiple reports.

As recently as Tuesday, it was assumed that first-year Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski would play both 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. and free-agent signing Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta’s preseason finale at the Miami Dolphins as the final act of the competition for the Falcons’ starting quarterback job.  However, Stefanski confirmed on Wednesday

The close-game magic that played a central role in the Chiefs’ 2023 and 2024 Super Bowl seasons faded in 2025. Kansas City’s 1-9 record in one-score games headlined the worst season of Andy Reid‘s 13-year Chiefs tenure. While three straight season-ending losses by a half-committed version of the team (the
