Defensive end Micah Parsons has skipped most of the Cowboys’ offseason program, and cornerback Trevon Diggs hasn’t attended any of the voluntary work while rehabbing elsewhere. The team’s star defensive players, though, were at The Star on Monday to undergo a physical, via multiple reports, and both are expected to

One player winning both the NFL’s offensive and defensive rookie of the year awards, would have seemed unthinkable until Travis Hunter came along. But heading into the 2025 season, Hunter has a real chance at both. Hunter, the Jaguars’ wide receiver/cornerback, currently has the third-shortest odds to win offensive rookie

We knew it had happened. It’s still strange to see it. Almost as jarring as it will be to see him in a black and gold uniform. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers officially is a Steeler. There it is on the daily transaction report, beneath the Browns signing tackle Jackson Barton and

The Packers tried to find a middle ground with Jaire Alexander on his contract, and they reportedly had pre-draft trade talks with the Bills, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Alexander had no interest in a pay cut, and on Monday, the day before the team’s mandatory minicamp begins, the

Kirk Cousins has not been with the Falcons for most of their voluntary offseason work, but the quarterback is expected to take a different approach for the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com reports that the team expects Cousins to report for the three-day minicamp. Cousins

The Jaguars are keeping their punter around for several more years. Jacksonville announced on Monday that the club has signed Logan Cooke to a four-year contract extension. Cooke, 29, was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and has punted in 112 games for Jacksonville ever since. He’s averaged 47.4 yards per

After receiver Stefon Diggs got himself into a bit of controversy, he’s been with the team to end the club’s offseason program — including at minicamp this week. Head coach Mike Vrabel was asked about Diggs and how he’s done in the building on Monday. “Good. I mean, he’s tried

The Colts have announced a new ownership structure in the wake of the death of team owner Jim Irsay last month. Irsay’s three daughters were all serving as vice-chairs of the team before their father died and all three will now have new roles while also holding the title of

Aaron Rodgers said in April that he would play in 2025 for $10 million. He’ll get more than that — at least $3.65 million more and up to $9.5 million more. Even though he’s getting more than he said he’d take, it’s still a massive bargain for the Steelers. It’s

Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright got off to a strong start in his rookie season last year, but down the stretch he virtually disappeared, with just nine carries for six yards over the final five games of 2024. In 2025 he’s looking to be a productive part of the offense

The Bengals are moving on from Germaine Pratt. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Cincinnati will release the veteran linebacker on Monday. Pratt, 29, requested a trade from Cincinnati back in February. But the Bengals held onto him until the tail end of the offseason program. Pratt was set to

When it became obvious that a divorce was looming between the Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers became an obvious potential destination for 2025. And while that’s where he ultimately landed, he reportedly wasn’t Pittsburgh’s Plan A. Via Ben Crawford of CBSSports.com, ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently said the Steelers

We’ve seen this movie before. We may end up seeing it again today. By getting the word out early Monday that the Packers will be releasing veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander, the Packers could be trying to beat the bushes for a trade partner. It has happened many times. And here’s

As Pablo Torre accurately explains it, the ongoing Bill Belichick situation in North Carolina justifies attention in part because the Tar Heels thought they were getting the “Patriot Way” Belichick. What they’ve gotten is a guy who has delegated various tasks to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson — including projects

Jaire Alexander’s tenure in Green Bay has come to an end. Alexander, a cornerback who has played for the Packers since they drafted him in the first round in 2018, is being released, according to multiple reports. The Packers proposed a restructured contract that would have paid him less than

The 2024 season didn’t play out as the Bears hoped it would, but there could be some silver linings to their 5-12 season. One of them would be the experience that young players like wide receiver Rome Odunze gained while going through the year. The 2024 first-round pick had 54

Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has made deep runs in the playoffs for two different teams the last three seasons and he broke through for his first Super Bowl title with the Eagles in February. Any thoughts of a repeat with Philly ended when Gardner-Johnson was traded to the Texans in March,

For the second straight year, the St. Louis Battlehawks were one home playoff win away from the UFL championship, which again will be played in St. Louis.

The dynasty is over. The Birmingham Stallions — winners of three straight championships in the USFL and UFL — lost on Sunday in the first round of the UFL playoffs. The Michigan Panthers beat the Stallions in Birmingham, 44-29. Michigan built a 21-6 lead, capped by a 25-yard interception return

It appears there’s more than mutual interest between running back Nick Chubb and the Texans. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Chubb is expected to sign with Houston if all goes well with his physical. Chubb, 29, played in eight games for the Browns last year after recovering from
