The Falcons will be a threat to win the division if Penix takes a Year 2 leap. Atlanta has solid weapons around Penix, including three top-10 picks: tight end Kyle Pitts, wide receiver Drake London and running back Bijan Robinson. London and Robinson have justified their draft status with sublime play

A.J. Cole‘s tenure with the Raiders will continue for the foreseeable future. The veteran punter agreed to an extension on Monday, Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports. This will be a four-year, $15.8MM deal, per Schultz. The pact includes $11MM in guarantees and makes Cole the NFL’s highest-paid punter in terms

While the New England Patriots have struggled in recent years, some NFL scouts believe that the franchise can challenge the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. The Patriots last had a winning season in 2021. In 2024, New England had its second straight 4-13 season. After years of being the

In 2028, active NFL players will be eligible to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics (provided the necessary arrangements can be made, of course). That has led to plenty of speculation about how international rosters will shake out, something which could sideline veterans of the flag game at the international

Nearly two weeks ago, Gabe Davis took part in a free-agent visit with the Giants. No deal is in place at this point, but it appears an agreement between the parties could still come about. Team and player have remained in contact in this case, SNY’s Connor Hughes writes. Davis

This will be a four-year, $15.8M deal, per Schultz. The pact includes $11M in guarantees and makes Cole the NFL’s highest-paid punter in terms of annual compensation. The 29-year-old is now under contract with the Raiders through 2029. This is Cole’s second extension with the organization. Midway through the 2021

One starting spot amongst the Commanders’ perimeter corners is assured of with 2024 trade acquisition Marshon Lattimore. Mike Sainristil, meanwhile, will again handle first-team duties in 2025 but it remains to be seen if he will find himself on the outside or in the slot. Determining where best to use the latter

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ release of Evan Engram in March has Brenton Strange on track to become Jacksonville’s main tight end under first-year head coach Liam Coen.  During a recent appearance on the “O-Zone Podcast,” Strange opened up about replacing Engram on the depth chart as Coen attempts to turn Trevor

During a Saturday morning appearance on “SportsCenter,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler repeated previous reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers could pursue Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins if free agent Aaron Rodgers chooses to not play for the Steelers later this year. During the latest edition of his “Overreaction Monday” podcast, league insider and

The Jets currently find themselves with just over $25MM in cap space. The team can therefore afford at least one notable addition during the late stages of free agency. If one is to be made between now and training camp, the secondary could be a place to watch. Connor Hughes

Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports recently wrote that the Washington Commanders signing star wide receiver Terry McLaurin to a contract extension before he plays in the final year of his existing deal is “an easy choice” for those running the club to make.  For a piece published on Monday, Ben

Four of the five starters from the Ravens’ 2024 offensive line are still in place for the coming campaign. As expected, though, Patrick Mekari departed in free agency. The former UDFA – who saw time at all five O-line spots over the course of his Baltimore tenure – helped his value with

It was previously suggested that the New York Giants could start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart over free-agency signing Russell Wilson as soon as their Week 5 matchup at the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 5 if the Giants open their season with three or four losses over their first four

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Brian Callahan have insisted that rookie Cam Ward will compete with 2023 second-round draft pick Will Levis for the team’s starting quarterback job this summer.  That said, many outsiders assume it’s a matter of when and not if the first overall selection of this year’s draft

Over one month has passed since it became clear Jalen Ramsey and the Dolphins are looking to part ways. Potential suitors have known about the possibility of a trade for even longer, but the All-Pro corner remains a member of the organization for now. That is still expected to change shortly, however.

Free agent Aaron Rodgers recently teased that he will soon sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers to serve as their starting quarterback for the 2025 season over longtime backup Mason Rudolph.  During a Monday appearance on the ESPN Radio “Unsportsmanlike” program, NFL insider Dan Graziano touched upon how people within the

The wait continues for Aaron Rodgers to make an official commitment to playing in 2025. Provided he does so, a deal sending him to the Steelers for at least one season remains the expectation around the league. Rodgers has plenty of time to sign ahead of training camp (or in advance of

Happy 26th birthday to Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher Micah Parsons! Parsons has been in the NFL for just four seasons but has already made four Pro Bowls, been named to two All-Pro teams and was the 2021 AP Rookie of the Year and is already 13th on the Cowboys all-time

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow raised some eyebrows when he said shortly after the full NFL schedule was released earlier in May that the Bengals having to play at the division-rival Baltimore Ravens “for the fourth straight prime-time year isn’t ideal.” During a recent chat with Geoff Hobson of the

As of the morning of Memorial Day, DraftKings Sportsbook had a New Orleans Saints side that lost starting quarterback Derek Carr to retirement earlier this spring as a +155 betting underdog to tally over 6.5 wins during the 2025 season.  Wide receiver Brandin Cooks signed with the Saints before Carr

According to OvertheCap.com, the Giants are 30th in the NFL in 2025 with only $5.95MM of cap space and dead last in the NFL with an effective cap deficit of $4.51MM. Obviously, New York needs to clear up some salary cap space, and Dan Duggan of The Athletic suggested that

Three receivers in the AFC South are facing big seasons for different reasons, according to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe. Titans wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks and Texans wideout John Metchie all are looking to have impactful 2025 campaigns in order to improve their prospects for the

At 34 years old, Morgan Moses is still playing at a level that garners the three-year, $24MM deal he signed with the Patriots. If he’s able to play out the entirety of his contract, he’ll be 37 years old when he hits free agency again; for reference, the oldest offensive

As expected, owners have paved the way for NFL players to take part in the 2028 Olympics. Several details are still to be worked out, with agreements including the NFLPA and International Olympic Committee (IOC) necessary for NFLers to suit up in Los Angeles. Plenty of time remains for that

No deal is in place between Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, although one remains the expectation from all parties. Regardless of what takes place on that front, a lucrative T.J. Watt extension looms as a key priority for the team. Watt entered this offseason as one of several high-profile edge rushers in line for

With organized team activities (OTAs) just a few days away, Denver Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix is making the most of his time in the Centennial State this offseason. In a little over 24 hours over Memorial Day weekend, the 25-year-old Nix was very visible around Denver, even without his

Denzel Perryman exited the Chargers’ wild-card loss with an elbow injury, one which required a notable recovery process. The veteran linebacker has returned to full strength, however. Perryman recently revealed he has been cleared (h/t team reporter Eric Smith). As a result, he will be able to participate fully in the

Saints do-it-all weapon Taysom Hill and true tight end Foster Moreau suffered significant injuries in the latter stages of the 2024 season, which was a fitting end to a generally miserable year. It appears they are on the mend, but as Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports, neither of them will

Josh Myers cracked our list of 2025’s Top 50 Free Agents (he checked in at No. 41), and his run as the Packers’ starting center seemingly positioned him well for a notable contract this offseason. However, it seems the league-wide perception of Myers mirrors the subpar Pro Football Focus grades

As the Bengals-Trey Hendrickson contract impasse drags on, the possibility of a trade looms over the situation. The Lions, despite recent interest in elite EDGE players like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby, do not appear to be a Hendrickson suitor. Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press says a pursuit

The 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy recently agreed to an extension that moves the former seventh-rounder near the top of the quarterback market in terms of average annual value ($53MM) but still outside the top five earners at his position. Cowboys passer Dak Prescott still leads the way with a

The current collective bargaining agreement runs through 2030, leaving plenty of time for negotiations between the NFL and NFLPA to take place on several issues.
