Thanks in large part to the $22.85MM roster bonus that vested on April 1, along with the fact that his contract and recent ACL tear have cratered his trade value, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be back with the 49ers in 2025 as both player and team attempt to rebound

First-round wide receiver prospect Tetairoa McMillan has secured visits with the Patriots, Saints, and Cowboys, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson.

Former Louisiana and LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy passed away last night, as Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Lacy was just 24, and according to WBRZ 2, he died by suicide.

The Browns have added Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to their quarterback room this offseason, and the club may still select a rookie passer in this month’s draft. Deshaun Watson has performed poorly during his Cleveland tenure, and with his 2025 availability in doubt, it is eminently possible that he

The Saints had planned to start Derek Carr at quarterback in 2025, but Carr’s shoulder malady – which may impact his regular season availability – could increase the club’s urgency to select a passer in the upcoming draft. Per Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com, the Saints hosted Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough

A 2022 ACL tear ended Kyler Murray‘s campaign that season and delayed his return to the field until the midway point of the following season. 2024 thus marked an important checkpoint in his recovery as the Pro Bowl quarterback managed to play a full slate. Mobility was an issue for part

Braden Smith managed 12 appearances for the Colts in 2024, remaining a full-time starter up front. The veteran right tackle was away from the team for the end of the campaign, however, and further details regarding his absence have emerged.

While much of the pre-draft focus coming out of College Station this year has been on likely first-round pass rusher Shemar Stewart, teammate of one year and fellow pass rusher Nic Scourton may quietly sneak into the first round with him. According to sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline, Scourton has been getting

The Chicago Bears’ Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders ended up being one of the big turning points in their 2024 season. According to starting quarterback Caleb Williams, the way that loss was handled by then-head coach Matt Eberflus annoyed the team’s locker room. Williams made that revelation in

While having a record-setter at tight end does kind of mask other shortcomings in the passing game for the Raiders, there still seems to be a noticeable need for help at wide receiver. According to Tashan Reed of The Athletic, help could come through both free agency and the 2025

We are only five years removed from the 2020 NFL Draft, when then-head coach Matt Rhule and the Panthers went defense with all seven of their draft picks. New head coach Dave Canales seems more willing to let general manager Dan Morgan run the show, but the 2025 NFL Draft

April 12th, 2025 at 12:55pm CST by Sam Robinson Although Abdul Carter‘s foot injury created some early-offseason concern, the Penn State prospect has not run into any real hurdles toward becoming a surefire top-four pick.

Becoming the team that took a chance on Hendon Hooker in the 2023 draft, the Lions are still not sold on the former college standout as their entrenched backup quarterback. This view became clear when they brought Teddy Bridgewater out of retirement last year, and a subsequent free agency decision

Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is being sued over his alleged involvement in a shooting at a car dealership.

Evan Neal came into the NFL with some guard experience, playing there at points at Alabama. Some evaluators viewed that as the former high-end prospect’s better NFL spot. After faceplanting at tackle, Neal may have no choice. This could be where the situation is headed, as ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan labels

It is not exactly a secret the Colts could view this draft as the avenue to upgrade a tight end contingent that has been an issue for a while. Although Indianapolis ranked 32nd in receptions from tight ends last season, the team has been in need for many years at

Once again, the Saints crawled out of cap hell to create enough space to make some notable offseason additions. This included re-signing Chase Young and Juwan Johnson and adding Justin Reid to team with the player he replaced in Kansas City, Tyrann Mathieu. The latter also recommitted to the team

Dak Prescott sounds more than ready to put his major hamstring injury behind him. Prescott’s 2024 season came to an abrupt end after he tore his hamstring in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s been a long yet steady road to recovery for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. In March,

“I think it would be dope, a lot of great people there, a lot of talented players,” Jeanty said when asked what it would mean to be a Cowboy, per the team’s website.  Jeanty attended Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas and has even played games at nearby AT&T

The Raiders’ Geno Smith trade and subsequent extension provides time for the team to determine a long-term solution at the game’s premier position. Smith and Pete Carroll‘s contractual timelines match up, and the Raiders have the luxury of steering clear of a maligned quarterback draft class. The potential for the

Since January, numerous analysts and reporters have said that none of the quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft have “a true first-round grade” and that most of them should spend at least the upcoming season developing as backups.  However, The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen is among those who view Louisville’s Tyler Shough as a

Another Derek Carr restructure ties the Saints to the middling quarterback for the 2025 season and will make it costly to separate in 2026. As GM Mickey Loomis continues to delay a rebuild, New Orleans could have a potential opportunity to land a surefire Carr successor at No. 9 overall.

Joe Flacco will return to Cleveland for 2025. The 40-year-old quarterback has an agreement in place with the Browns, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move is now official. This will be a one-year deal with a base value of $4M, per Flacco’s agency. The pact can be

The Patriots have their right tackle position locked down with Morgan Moses on a three-year deal, despite his advanced age of 34 years old.

When Joe Flacco joined the Cleveland Browns in 2023, it was taken as mostly a joke around the NFL. But he exceeded everyone’s expectations by going 4-1 in five starts with 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns and leading the Browns on to the playoffs.  He played so well that he

As the Saints determine if they want to make a significant quarterback investment, they have another issue to deal with regarding their current starter.
