The Deshaun Watson era has not gone according to plan in Cleveland, to say the very least. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has gone as far as publicly calling the Watson acquisition a “big swing-and-miss.” During his latest media appearance, however, Haslam struck a different tone regarding the team’s quarterback situation. Haslam spoke with reporters

The altercation between Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf and a Detroit Lions fan late in the 2025 NFL season has prompted a rule change for the 2026 season. It is now possible for league personnel to consult with on-field officials to not only eject a player for a flagrant

MARCH 31: Gutekunst noted (via Schneidman) it is “certainly a possibility” Ridder and McCord will simply compete amongst each other for the backup gig. If one or both of those two show encouraging signs over the course of offseason work, Green Bay’s interest in Cousins may begin to wane. MARCH 30: The

Multiple moves made by the Miami Dolphins this offseason caused some members of the NFL community to suggest that new Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new head coach Jeff Hafley are essentially “tanking” the 2026 season with the 2027 NFL Draft in mind.  During a recent appearance on the “Pro Football Talk Live” program,

Brown during the offseason.  Roseman was again asked about the Brown situation at the league meetings Sunday, and the executive once again

The Dolphins gave Malik Willis some significant money on his three-year pact, and there’s no doubt he’ll be under center for the team in 2026. However, his non-guaranteed third year and his lack of a starting track record has led many to leave that he’ll ultimately be a bridge QB.

Shedeur Sanders wrapped up his rookie season in Cleveland with a mixed bag. He flashed the same big-play ability that made him a standout at Colorado, but the NFL also exposed some things he’ll need to clean up. The Cleveland Browns drafted him in the fifth round in 2025, and

Trade speculation continues to surround Eagles receiver A.J. Brown. To no surprise, general manager Howie Roseman was asked about the situation on Monday at the league meeting. “I understand that there’s interest in the A.J.

The 49ers started three different players at left guard last season, and the leader – 2022 fourth-round pick Spencer Burford – signed with the Raiders in free agency. That left 2025 seventh-rounder Connor Colby (six starts, 454 snaps) and veteran Ben Bartch (two starts, 195 snaps) as the main candidates

At the NFL meetings in Phoenix, however, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said it was a simple contractual move and nothing more. Andrew Berry says Browns aren’t planning

The Patriots recently re-signed quarterback Tommy DeVito and released fellow signal-caller Joshua Dobbs. DeVito therefore appears to be in the driver’s seat for New England’s QB2 post behind MVP runner-up Drake Maye, but he will not go unchallenged. ESPN’s Mike Reiss says the Dobbs release makes it more likely that

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is a player who is viewed as a prime trade candidate this offseason, and things could get even more interesting than expected if he is sent to one particular team. There have been numerous reports in recent weeks that Brown is likely to be

The New York Giants wrapped up last season at 4-13, but new head coach John Harbaugh is not wasting time. Free agency brought a wave of new faces, and the front office made sure every move matched what Harbaugh is trying to build. With a young core already in place

Drafting running backs early in the first round is back in style. Ashton Jeanty went at No. 6 last year, and in 2023, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs went eighth and 12th overall, respectively. This year’s draft is expected to add another name to the list. The running back most
