DK Metcalf has requested a trade from the Seattle Seahawks, and we are starting to get a better sense of how much teams would be willing to give up to acquire the star wide receiver. Metcalf reportedly informed the Seahawks on Wednesday that he would like to be traded. While

Allen is entering the final year of a three-year, $45.75M contract, per OverTheCap. He has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal and will count for $19.8M against the 2025 salary cap. An extension could reduce that to $10.5M, though that would require a sizable financial commitment from the Broncos.

Yet another experienced receiver will be available to teams in free agency. The Jaguars are cutting ties with Christian Kirk, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter reports. One season remained on Kirk’s contract. Although Kirk suffered a broken collarbone midway through last season, he had served as Trevor Lawrence‘s top target for most of

The Joey Bosa era in Los Angeles is officially over. The LA Chargers announced on Wednesday that they have released the veteran outside linebacker Bosa. The move ends Bosa’s tenure with the team after nearly a decade. Bosa, 29, was the Chargers’ No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NFL

The official start of free agency — one of the more anticipated dates on the NFL calendar — is March 12 at 4 p.m. ET. Teams, however, can begin negotiating on March 10 with unrestricted free agents. Ahead of these major dates, Yardbarker NFL writers identify one prime free agent from

As several edge rushers will have plenty to say about where that market goes this offseason, Maxx Crosby is beating his peers to the punch. Despite not being in a contract year, the star Raiders pass rusher now has a monster extension. The Raiders and Crosby have agreed on a deal

Outside linebacker Bradley Chubb has agreed on a reworked contract with the Dolphins, per Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz. The new deal will reduce Chubb’s base salary in 2025, which was originally $19.45M, per OverTheCap. He can still earn his full 2025 compensation through incentives based on playing time and sacks.

The Seahawks should have a robust trade market for wide receiver DK Metcalf, who requested out of Seattle on Wednesday. The six-year veteran has one year remaining on a three-year, $72 million extension he signed in July 2022. In 2024, Metcalf had 66 receptions, 992 yards (15 yards per reception)

The Cowboys have restructured Dak Prescott‘s contract, according to ESPN’s Todd Archer, creating $36.6MM of cap space on top of the $20MM created by yesterday’s restructure of CeeDee Lamb‘s deal. The move converts $45.75 of Prescott’s 2025 salary to a signing bonus that is then prorated across the next five

The Miami Dolphins have managed to keep edge-rusher Bradley Chubb at the right price. On Wednesday, Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz tweeted Chubb and the Dolphins have agreed to a reduction in his base salary. According to Schultz, the two-time Pro Bowler, “can still earn his full $21M compensation

The Texans have re-signed veteran running back Dare Ogunbowale on a one-year, $1.2MM deal, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. 2025 will be Ogunbowale’s ninth season in the NFL and fourth in Houston. He began his career as an undrafted free agent with the Texans in 2017, but did not make

There are undoubtedly two quarterbacks at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.  The first, for most, is Cam Ward out of Miami. He’s a 6-foot-2, 223-pound signal-caller who threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions last season.  Other scouts may prefer Shedeur Sanders out of

Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones has been an interesting name to watch over his time in the NFL. Playing for three teams over the course of his four-year rookie contract, the 25-year-old has developed into a tackling machine. With free agency on the horizon, the Seahawks have been working to re-sign

On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Chargers released edge-rusher Joey Bosa. Does that hint they’re poised to land a high-profile wide receiver? According to NFL contract expert and Over the Cap founder Jason Fitzgerald, releasing Bosa clears $25.36M in cap space for the Chargers. In 14 regular-season games in 2024,

More teams made tender/non-tender decisions on restricted and exclusive rights free agents today. Here are the latest updates: RFAs Non-tendered: Fraboni has served as the Broncos’ primary long snapper for each of the past two seasons, playing in all 17 games of each year as well as this year’s playoff

Bosa’s departure from Los Angeles was expected, as the 30-year-old pass-rusher carried a substantial cap hit in 2025. In addition, he has been injury-prone throughout his career. The third overall pick of the 2016 draft has failed to surpass 6.5 sacks each of the last three seasons and has missed

The big moves continue late into the night as ESPN’s Adam Schefter announces that the Chargers have released veteran outside linebacker Joey Bosa. Diana Russini of The Athletic reports that the other teams around the league had been informed of the coming transaction in the last few days. Bosa was

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Cooper Kupp on the trade block in February, and it still seems they don’t have many takers.  While the Rams haven’t agreed to a deal with another team, L.A. general manager Les Snead clarified that hasn’t changed the club’s plans.  “There’s a scenario,

The Dallas Cowboys can’t seem to learn from their past mistakes in free agency.  In 2024, Dallas ranked last in the league in free-agency spending ($18.85M), via Spotrac. Not filling their roster holes proved to be foolish for the Cowboys. They went 7-10 and missed the playoffs for the first

Following up on today’s earlier news that veteran wide receiver D.K. Metcalf had requested a trade from the Seahawks, a few teams have been established as likely possible destinations for the 27-year-old. Most notably, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times has noted some connections to the Chargers. Metcalf has been

Saquon Barkley, of course, led the way. But Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs and Joe Mixon mattered plenty to their 2024 teams’ success. Harris should benefit from this, but how other teams viewed their backfields will help him more. The Patriots, Panthers, Cardinals and Saints paid their starters. Alvin

After 2024 brought a record-setting salary cap spike, the 2025 league year introduced a jump that rivals it. We continue to see year-to-year leaps that dwarf what the 2011 CBA brought. Last year’s climb presented good news for many top-tier free agents; the batch that headlines this year’s market will
