The Titans are rotating quarterbacks during their organized team activities, but No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward will start Week 1. Ward knows it. The Titans know it. Will Levis knows it. Levis started 21 games the past two seasons after the Titans made him a second-round pick, but he

When the Ravens cut kicker Justin Tucker earlier this month, they were careful to call it a “football decision.” In his first public comments since the move was made, coach John Harbaugh made it clear that the “football decision” was not an easy one. “I mean, you’re talking about arguably

With the ghost of quarterback future haunting the Steelers as they commence their 2025 OTAs, every word said by players and coaches will be examined for any express or implied messages regarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers. New Steelers cornerback Darius Slay made some comments on Wednesday that could be regarded as

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that “zero has changed” in regards to a potential trade of cornerback Jalen Ramsey. That’s essentially the same answer Rams coach Sean McVay gave later in the day when asked about a possible reunion with Ramsey. “Yeah, we would never close out those opportunities,”

Caleb Williams addressed a recent book excerpt about his pre-draft misgivings about the Bears during a press conference from the Bears’ OTAs on Wednesday. In American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, Seth Wickersham quoted Williams’s father Carl saying that “Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die” and telling

Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only future Hall of Famer not present for Steelers OTAs. Linebacker T.J. Watt isn’t there, either. Watt is due for a new contract. He has yet to get one. And he’s making the clearest possible statement regarding his feelings on the matter. Watt, without a new

The 49ers made official the signing of punter Thomas Morstead, announcing the move. The corresponding move, as expected, was the release of punter Mitch Wishnowsky. Wishnowsky, 33, became the team’s punter in 2019, but he missed eight games last season with knee and back injuries. His 36.3-yard net was the

The Pivot Podcast episode featuring an interview with Bill Belichick could be destined to serve as the basis for an episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out. After the extended Memorial Day weekend, which operates as a de facto hard reset for many media narratives and storylines, Channing Crowder of The

Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts did not participate in the team’s first organized team activity Wednesday, but James Palmer of The Bleacher Report reports there is nothing to see here. Pitts’ absence is not contract related. Instead, Palmer reports Pitts is at the team facility rehabbing a foot injury. Pitts,

Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons did not join the Titans for their OTA practice on Wednesday, but head coach Brian Callahan didn’t express much concern about his absence. Simmons said in February that he believes in the direction that the Titans are moving in as they approach the 2026 season and

The Ravens stopped short of guaranteeing tight end Mark Andrews would be back with the team at points this offseason, but they ultimately passed on any trade options and are moving toward the 2025 season with the veteran on the roster. Andrews’s future was in doubt because he’s in the

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill ended last season by creating doubt about his future with the team, but he said on Wednesday that his current goal is to make sure he remains in their good graces. Hill said “I’m out” after the Dolphins ended the year with a 32-20 loss

Winning is the ultimate deodorant. It’s also a pretty effective perfume. For the Commanders, a spritz or two of success has caused fans to change their opinion about a name that felt like a best-bad-option placeholder when it was first adopted. A new poll from the Washington Post and the

As the Steelers remain in the very un-Steeler-like position of giving an open-ended invitation to a player who has yet to reciprocate the team’s interest, plenty of Steelers fans are dismayed by the team’s uncharacteristic display of desperation. And when someone connected to the team pushes back, plenty of Steelers

While the Dolphins have not yet been able to trade Jalen Ramsey, Miami is still looking to move the cornerback. Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed as much in his Wednesday press conference when asked about the three-time first-team All-Pro. “I mean, quite honestly, zero has changed since the last time

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers isn’t getting reps with new quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart at the team’s OTAs. Nabers is present at the team’s facility for the voluntary workouts, but he is not participating. Head coach Brian Daboll said at a Wednesday press conference that Nabers

After selecting Cam Ward at No. 1 overall, the Titans would surely like to get the quarterback ready to play as soon as possible. But at this point, head coach Brian Callahan is planning on rotating plenty of players through the reps at OTAs — including the quarterbacks. Callahan began

Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips has had a rough couple of years: His 2023 season was cut short by a torn Achilles, and his 2024 season was cut short by a torn ACL. He says that was hard on him, not only physically but also mentally. Phillips told Dan Pompei of

Although quarterback Kirk Cousins was present for the start of the Falcons’ offseason workout program, he wasn’t around for the first OTA session. And that’s a good thing for the team. The Falcons are trying to move forward with Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback. Having Cousins around will

While there’s uncertainty at the quarterback position for the Steelers, whoever ends up being QB1 will have DK Metcalf as a primary target. Speaking to the media after Pittsburgh’s Tuesday OTA practice, quarterback Mason Rudolph said he’s been impressed with what he’s seen from the wideout. “He’s an unbelievable athlete,”

Channing Crowder has performed a cleanup on Aisle Belichick. Crowder, one of the three hosts of The Pivot Podcast, made the mistake of sharing candid observations about what he witnessed when Bill Belichick was interviewed, with his 24-year-old girlfriend/handler/publicist/idea mill/creative muse Jordon Hudson present. Now, Crowder has publicly apologized for

It appears veteran punter Thomas Morstead has found a new place to play. In posts to his social media accounts, Morstead posed for a picture in front of an oversized 49ers helmet and wrote that “grateful is an understatement.” The team has not made any announcement about terms of a

Bills head coach Sean McDermott was a vocal proponent of banning the tush push this offseason and said that being “proactive and responsible” when it comes to player safety was the reason for his stance. McDermott’s view on the play was shared by 21 other teams, but the attempt to

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen spoke to reporters on Tuesday and that provided a chance to check in on how the process of getting second overall pick Travis Hunter ready to play on both sides of the ball is going. Hunter was working as a wide receiver on Tuesday and

Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette had 49 catches last year, but the most memorable moment of the first-round pick’s rookie season was not a positive one. Legette dropped a Bryce Young pass that would have given the Panthers a lead over the Eagles in the final minute of a Week

The Chargers have started talks about a new contract with left tackle Rashawn Slater, but it doesn’t look like things are progressing as quickly as Slater would like them to move. Daniel Popper of TheAthletic.com noted that Slater was not in attendance for the first OTA of the offseason on

The Bills’ training camp will be featured on this summer’s Hard Knocks, and head coach Sean McDermott says that will provide his team with some additional challenges. McDermott said a big part of training camp is building relationships among teammates and coaches, and that the kinds of honest conversations necessary

The Bills will open their new stadium next year. They’re currently in the process of filling it up. Via Ryan O’Halloran of the Buffalo News, the Bills have sold more than 25,000 Personal Seat Licenses for the new venue. Bills COO Pete Guelli told O’Halloran that the Bills are “on
