The longest-tenured pure GM in the NFL, Mickey Loomis has held this New Orleans gig since 2002. He has only hired two head coaches, however, tabbing DC Dennis Allen to take over after Sean Payton‘s exit (Loomis was hired during Jim Haslett‘s six-year HC tenure). That number, barring a change

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s 84-yard touchdown pass to Tylan Wallace early in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals is officially the longest pass of his NFL career.  He has Wallace to thank for that.

The long wait appears to be over for Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday on KNBR that McCaffrey is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff isn’t just hitting the mark this season. He’s shattering it.  Goff leads the NFL in completion percentage (74.9%) through his first eight games. If he maintains this pace, he will break the record former New Orleans Saints QB and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees

The Ravens have officially activated Keaton Mitchell from the Physically Unable to Perform list after his recovery from last season’s ACL tear. The second-year running back electrified the league as an undrafted rookie, picking up first downs on 19 of his 47 carries for 396 yards and an average of

The NFL and other sports leagues have been known to drug test players coming off impressive performances produced by those athletes during games.  Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley learned this directly after he went viral via one of the season’s top highlight-reel moments during Philadelphia’s 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars this past

Despite rumored trade interest, the Giants were not interested in dealing wide receiver Darius Slayton at the trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. The 2-7 Giants were thought to be sellers at the deadline as they ponder the team’s future, especially at the quarterback position. Slayton is set to

Lawrence is weighing his options at this point and is currently considered day-to-day. If he were to miss Jacksonville’s next game, it would mark only the second time in his career he was unable to suit up for a contest. Surgery could be a consideration down the road, but Rapoport

Trevor Lawrence is dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, and it could lead to missed time.

The Broncos’ only deal ahead of the trade deadline saw Baron Browning moved out. The fourth-year edge rusher was sent to the Cardinals as a rental for the second half of the campaign. Browning yielded only a sixth-round pick in return given his status as a pending free agent. Denver

While speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan was asked if he thought that second-year pro Bryce Young “can still be the franchise quarterback here.”  Morgan was noticeably noncommittal with his answer.  “Yeah, I think every week, you know, we’re assessing Bryce,” Morgan said, as shared by Kassidy Hill of the Panthers’ website. “We’re just seeing,

Ahead of the trade deadline, it was clear the Panthers would not be willing to deal away Chuba Hubbard. The fourth-year running back was on track to reach free agency this offseason, but that is no longer the case. Hubbard and the Panthers have agreed to a four-year extension, Ian Rapoport

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield previously suggested he was at least somewhat annoyed that head coach Todd Bowles chose to kick a game-tying extra point instead of attempting a go-ahead two-point conversion late in regulation of this past Monday’s overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.  While speaking with reporters on

Earlier this season, the Panthers benched Young in favor of Andy Dalton after an 0-2 start. Dalton went 1-4 as a starter before suffering a right thumb injury in a minor car accident. According to ESPN’s David Newton, Dalton was available in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints and

Had Christian Kirk not gone down with a broken collarbone, the Jaguars wide receiver may well have become the Steelers’ long-sought-after wide receiver solution. With Kirk’s Week 8 injury taking him out of the equation, Pittsburgh zeroed in on the Jets’ roster. The Steelers had targeted Davante Adams, among many

Diggs was placed on injured reserve, giving Edwards a chance at seeing the field right away in Tennessee. Edwards only appeared in three games this season with a total of 20 snaps across defense and special teams after signing in Buffalo to compete for a starting safety job. He lost
