When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, there’s a lot of attention around quarterback Aaron Rodgers this season. That’s a given. That’s just what happens when you have a four-time MVP-winning quarterback ending his career at your franchise. A lot of eyes are also on the team’s new head coach,

Giants running back Cam Skattebo revealed on the Up & Adams Show that he considered retiring after suffering a gruesome injury to his right leg last season. “Yeah, definitely,” Skattebo said when asked if he thought about walking away from the field, but acknowledged that his recovery experience was valuable

Monday reports indicated that the Minnesota Vikings were prepared to have starter Kyler Murray, veteran Carson Wentz, J.J. McCarthy and 25-year-old Max Brosmer in their quarterback room and on their active roster for Week 1 of the upcoming campaign.  However, the situation changed when Alec Lewis of The Athletic revealed that the Vikings waived Brosmer

Stroud failing to reach the heights of his Offensive Rookie of the Year season over the past two years, Houston has appeared to be noncommittal towards the idea of signing their starting passer to an extension. That tone continued early this morning, per Aaron Wilson of

The Miami Dolphins are certainly taking a bit of a gamble with Malik Willis at quarterback. Willis is a former third-round pick, but he flamed out with his original team, the Tennessee Titans. The Titans traded Willis to the Green Bay Packers for a seventh-round draft pick and Willis backed

Minnesota was among the teams to keep four quarterbacks after the cutdown deadline, but the Vikings adjusted their roster Monday by waiving Max Brosmer.

Eyebrows were raised when it was reported ahead of the final weekend of August that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson was “doing his homework on” possibly replacing head coach Aaron Glenn with former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach and current NBC NFL analyst Mike Tomlin in January 2027.  It sounds like Glenn, Johnson

Sunday brought about confirmation of the Aaron Donald‘s long-awaited Rams reunion. The future Hall of Famer will play in 2026 after two years in retirement.

The Cowboys cut running back Jaydon Blue on Sunday, but the second-year man is staying in the NFC East. Blue is joining the Eagles’ practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The speedy Blue entered the 2025 draft after a productive junior season at Texas, where he ran for 730

Second-year running back Jaydon Blue is no longer with the Dallas Cowboys, and it appears he won’t get another shot with “America’s Team.”  The Cowboys waived Blue in a surprising move ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. No one picked him up on the

Already the Vegas Super Bowl LXI favorites, the Rams are adding more muscle to their operation. The long-rumored Aaron Donald return is a go. After two years in retirement, the all-time great is coming back. Hours before the roster-setting deadline, the Rams announced Donald’s return. The 35-year-old defensive tackle agreed

It’s even more likely that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs won’t be in the lineup in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings (CBS, 4:25 p.m. ET). ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday that the league is placing Jacobs on the commissioner’s exempt list. A player who is on

Here is how the Buccaneers slashed their roster to the 53-man limit today: Waived: Waived/injured:   Placed on IR (return designation): Braswell did not come close to justifying his draft status.

By Rory Parks | at August 30, 2026 8:28 am The Bills are trading center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger to the Colts, per The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero. To no surprise, the compensation is minimal, as Pelissero reports Buffalo is including a 2027 seventh-rounder in the deal and is receiving a 2027

With the season opener just around the corner, the Green Bay Packers still don’t know much about Josh Jacobs’ situation.

In April, Spencer Rattler was mentioned as a potential trade candidate given Tyler Shough‘s status as the Saints’ starting quarterback.

The Minnesota Vikings seem ready to move on from J.J. McCarthy. They chose Kyler Murray as their starter, and it might not be the last time the Michigan product is demoted.

The Bears received encouraging injury news recently, with Ozzy Trapilo coming off the active/PUP list and getting in more than a week’s worth of practices.

The NFL can get heated, and that means even teammates can end up fighting. It’s a fairly common thing this time of year, when guys are getting back on the field and practicing, to see players on the same team duke it out with tensions high. Well, that was the

As recently as Tuesday, it was assumed that first-year Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski would play both 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. and free-agent signing Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta’s preseason finale at the Miami Dolphins as the final act of the competition for the Falcons’ starting quarterback job.  However, Stefanski confirmed on Wednesday

The close-game magic that played a central role in the Chiefs’ 2023 and 2024 Super Bowl seasons faded in 2025. Kansas City’s 1-9 record in one-score games headlined the worst season of Andy Reid‘s 13-year Chiefs tenure. While three straight season-ending losses by a half-committed version of the team (the

Multiple reports insisted that first-year Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson the club’s Week 1 starting quarterback over Shedeur Sanders because Monken truly “thinks Watson gives the Browns the best chance to win” the regular-season opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 13. During the latest edition of the “Orange and Brown Talk” podcast,

Texans defensive end Dylan Horton suffered a torn Achilles at practice on Monday, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, potentially ending his 2026 season. Horton, 26, was a fourth-round pick out of TCU in 2023. He only appeared in 10 games as a rookie after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s

When the Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward to be their quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick last season, it was obvious that this guy was going to at least try to be the face of the franchise. It wasn’t a move they took lightly. The Titans have put a

Although the Giants signed Devin Singletary to be Saquon Barkley‘s successor at running back, Tyrone Tracy ended up in that role for most of the 2024 season. Tracy played well as a rookie, but the former fifth-round pick’s stock has dropped since. The Giants turned back to Tracy following Cam
