Geno Smith resurrected his career as a starting quarterback in the NFL in Seattle, and now he’s getting his reward. After heading to the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason via trade, Smith and the Raiders agreed to a two-year, $85.5 million contract extension that includes $66 million guaranteed.  While the

Not viewed as one of the better draft classes in recent NFL history, the 2025 crop does bring considerable running back depth. After a 2024 draft saw only one back chosen in Rounds 1 and 2 (Jonathon Brooks), this year should feature several going before Day 2’s second half starts.

The NFL has decided to table the issue of whether or not it will ban the tush push play. Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen has made his feelings on the matter clear. Allen was a guest on “Green Light with Chris Long” for an interview that was published

The Panthers changed course at wide receiver midway through last season, trading both Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo before the deadline. Although Adam Thielen is coming back, he is going into an age-35 season. It appears likely Carolina will go back to the receiver well in this draft. This has

Throughout the spring, multiple reporters and analysts have suggested that the New York Jets could make Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart the seventh overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft even though the club signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40M deal with $30M guaranteed early in free agency.  In his latest mock

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have been working together since 2018, when the latter arrived as Bills OC to start the Josh Allen era. The quarterback’s rise placed both in position to work in leadership roles, and the Giants signed off on bringing the pair in to steer a rebuild.

Some analysts suggested the Las Vegas Raiders could make Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders the sixth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, partly because recently acquired Geno Smith hadn’t yet received a contract extension from the Raiders.  That changed on Thursday when reports claimed that Smith and the Raiders had agreed

Terry Fontenot has been in place as the Falcons’ general manager since 2021. The team’s record has remained consistent during his four years at the helm, but Atlanta has yet to post a winning campaign or reach the postseason during that span. As a result, questions have been raised about a

While it previously seemed to be a matter of when and not if the Cleveland Browns would eventually either trade for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins or sign him shortly after his release, recent reports have indicated a Browns-Cousins marriage is now either unlikely or off the table. During a Thursday

Travis Hunter is widely expected to be one of the top players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, but a big question about the former Colorado star still has not been answered: What position will he play? The answer depends upon which team drafts Hunter. At Colorado, Hunter was a

The Bills’ offseason has been defined in large part by their extension efforts with key in-house players. Quarterback Josh Allen‘s recent top-up has him near the top of the position’s pecking order, and a quartet of starters on their rookie contracts now have lucrative second deals in place. Receiver Khalil Shakir, linebacker Terrel

As of the first Friday of April, it seemed to be a realistic possibility that a quarterback class previously thought to be weak could become responsible for three signal-callers taken in the first nine picks of the 2025 NFL Draft.  On Friday morning, ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller suggested that

Barring what would be a shocking development, the Tennessee Titans are expected to make Miami quarterback Cam Ward the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. This would leave the Cleveland Browns (pick No. 2), New York Giants (No. 3) and New England Patriots (No. 4) as potential landing spots

To little surprise, the Ravens have not been busy so far in free agency. Modest outside additions (DeAndre Hopkins, Cooper Rush, Chidobe Awuzie) have set the team up for adding further depth in the draft, but Baltimore has also shown interest in other moves recently. The Ravens were “in on

Rumblings suggesting that the Cleveland Browns are ready to take either Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter instead of quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the second overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft have grown louder. In his latest mailbag, NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated discussed

McMillan averaged 1,141 yards and 8.6 touchdowns in three years with Arizona and 87 catches over his last two campaigns. Courtland Sutton led all Broncos receivers with 1,081, but the seven-year veteran is entering the final year of his contract. If he can’t come to terms with Denver, McMillan would

The New York Jets gave up on quarterback Zach Wilson after just three seasons, and the second overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft then spent the 2024 campaign as an unused backup with the Denver Broncos.  In March, Wilson signed with the Miami Dolphins to continue his development under head

While Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II seems confident his club will soon sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers, some previously wondered who between Rodgers and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will truly be running the team’s offense by September.  During a recent appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of “The Pat

In his latest mock draft published on Wednesday, ESPN’s Field Yates predicted that the Cleveland Browns would take Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter with the second pick of the 2025 NFL Draft and then grab Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough at overall selection No. 33.  For an article posted on Thursday, analyst

APRIL 3: Benford’s deal does not quite check in at $76MM, but rather $69MM, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. The contract includes just $18.85MM at signing. While Benford’s updated AAV ($17.25MM) ranks 19th among cornerbacks, his full guarantee sits 24th at the position. Though, there are mechanisms in place

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart emerged from the NFL Scouting Combine as arguably the top rising star on draft boards.  During a Thursday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky offered some bold takes regarding Dart’s talent and when the prospect will

Although the Steelers continue to express confidence Aaron Rodgers will eventually become their next starting quarterback, the four-time MVP is moving toward a fourth week as a free agent. Rodgers threw passes to D.K. Metcalf recently, which would represent a good sign for Pittsburgh’s prospects to close this market. But

On Thursday evening, the Chicago Bears signed veteran quarterback Case Keenum. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Keenum inked a one-year deal worth up to $3M.  Keenum, 37, has been with the Houston Texans for the last two seasons but spent the 2024 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury

Having rostered two players who could end up top-five picks in the draft, Colorado will feature its most notable pro day in ages. The Buffaloes’ top prospects are set to work out Friday in Boulder, and dozens of high-ranking NFL personnel members will be there. Although the Titans are sending

The Patriots are trading quarterback Joe Milton to the Cowboys, per FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz. Dallas will send one of its fifth-round compensatory picks in April’s draft to New England in exchange for Milton and a seventh-rounder, according to David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. The Patriots received the 171st overall

Baker Mayfield showed his 2023 resurgence was no fluke, posting career-best numbers last season. The Buccaneers went through with a transaction that reveals confidence in the former No. 1 overall pick being their quarterback beyond 2025. In an effort to create cap space, Tampa Bay has restructured Mayfield’s contract. The
