Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but the team was never interested in moving the 2024 first-round pick. Thomas, 23, posted 1,282 receiving yards as a rookie but saw his production drop significantly the following season. That was partially due to a few

Running back Bijan Robinson may be feeling a little envious after the Atlanta Falcons signed two of their other skill players to contract extensions.  The Falcons and tight end Kyle Pitts agreed to a three-year, $54M deal, with $36M guaranteed, on Tuesday, which makes him the third-highest-paid TE in the NFL

Brendan Sorsby was on course to participate in the supplemental draft as his means of entering the NFL in 2026. That will not be taking place, however. The NFL announced on Tuesday that the supplemental draft will not be held in 2026. As a result, Sorsby will not be able to

Multiple stories have suggested that the New York Jets will not make a bid for controversial quarterback Brendan Sorsby during this year’s supplemental draft for the NFL.

Police were called to Jets quarterback Geno Smith‘s home in Davie., Fla., on Sunday over an alleged battery, Edward Lewis of the California Post reports.

After two highly impressive years with Notre Dame, running back  Jeremiyah Love was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Shortly after the Browns traded friend and longtime teammate Myles Garrett to the Rams on June 1, cornerback Denzel Ward expressed a desire to remain in Cleveland. Ward does indeed remain “fully bought in” as the career-long Brown enters his ninth season, sources told Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. While

Whispers surfaced back in May suggesting that the Cleveland Browns could make 2025 fifth-round draft pick Shedeur Sanders available to other teams if veteran Deshaun Watson emerged this summer as the club’s Week 1 starting quarterback.  More recently, former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson teased that he has some inside information and knows that “Watson is the starting quarterback”

Often, players who have been hit with a franchise tag in lieu of a long-term deal harbor some animosity toward their team. That does not appear to be the case with Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (at least publicly). While Pickens is reportedly concerned about the prospect of being tagged

John Harbaugh is entering his first season with the New York Giants, and lucky for him, he has a budding quarterback already in Jaxson Dart. While plenty of head coaches walk into situations where they’re starting from scratch, Harbaugh at least has Dart, who put up strong numbers last season

Former Texas Tech Red Raiders/Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL supplemental draft. He’ll be lucky if he has any bidders. A Sunday report revealed the New York Jets may not target Sorsby if he’s approved for the supplemental draft, which would be held in July, because of concerns about

After months of speculation, the New England Patriots finally got their guy. They acquired Philadelphia Eagles star WR A.J. Brown, reuniting him with head coach Mike Vrabel and saving him from his discontent in the City of Brotherly Love. Of course, that’s great news for Drake Maye and the passing

At this time a year ago, four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the comeback trail from the October 2024 ACL tear he suffered as a member of the Texans. Despite the injury, the Patriots were confident enough in Diggs’ recovery to give him a three-year deal with

Justin Herbert is widely regarded as one of the league’s best quarterbacks, often named along with Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. There is definitely a lot to like about Herbert. He boasts arguably one of the most impressive arm strengths in the league, possesses a prototypical

Mansoor Delane was able to participate in OTAs, but he did not take part in minicamp. The Chiefs’ first-round rookie should be in place for the beginning of padded practices, however. Delane was dealing with a shoulder injury during minicamp, head coach Andy Reid said. He added (via ESPN’s Nate Taylor) that was

Mandatory minicamps recently wrapped up across the NFL, giving teams their final structured practices before a well-needed break ahead of training camp in July.  These sessions offered the first look at rookies, new schemes, the installation of new plays and emerging concerns heading into the 2026 season.  Here’s a breakdown of the biggest takeaways from the 2026 minicamps: Standout rookies Fernando Mendoza, QB, Las Vegas Raiders The first overall pick seems

The Rams have an extremely inexperienced quarterback room behind 38-year-old starter Matthew Stafford, but they are not planning to add a veteran backup before the season.

Maxx Crosby is back with the Las Vegas Raiders, but how long will he stay there? Even though Crosby has a Raiders tattoo and claims he isn’t going anywhere, those in the NFL know better. There’s a real possibility his defunct trade to the Baltimore Ravens won’t be the last

The Chiefs will have a new right tackle in 2026. Penalty maven Jawaan Taylor is now with the Falcons, as the Chiefs made a predictable salary trim amid a cap crunch. Taylor did not live up to his $20MM-per-year contract, and a 2025 signing looked to telegraph Kansas City’s plans

A report from earlier in June suggested that Miami Dolphins backup quarterback and 2025 seventh-round draft pick Quinn Ewers “outperformed” free-agency signing and presumed starter Malik Willis during some springtime practices open to media members.  First-year Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley later seemed to pour cold water over such takes. For a piece published on

Despite possessing three of the top 30 picks in this year’s draft, the Jets were not in position to land a potential franchise quarterback in the first round. They later selected ex-Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik in the fourth round, but he may not be the last rookie signal-caller they add

Recently, Baltimore Ravens reporter Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic made it known he was optimistic that the club and star quarterback Lamar Jackson will come to terms on a contract extension before the 2026 season gets underway.  Months before Zrebiec offered that update, a March story claimed that Ravens general manager
