The Texans have signed first-round guard Keylan Rutledge to his four-year rookie contract. As the 26th overall pick, the former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket will receive a fully guaranteed deal worth $19.28MM.

Throughout the spring, multiple reports have suggested that the Philadelphia Eagles could consider moving on from quarterback Jalen Hurts next offseason if he fails to impress while playing under first-year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion later this fall.  During a recent appearance on the “Takeoff with John Clark” program, Eagles left tackle

The Green Bay Packers went all-in to trade for Micah Parsons last offseason, but his first season in Wisconsin was cut short. The former Dallas Cowboys star suffered a season-ending ACL injury late in the regular season, and he’s still working his way back. There was some hope that he

Although the Patriots had not yet acquired receiver A.J. Brown from the Eagles, they made fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte available in the lead-up to the draft in April. While a deal has not occurred, Boutte’s status in New England has remained in question. Now that Brown is on the roster,

The Atlanta Falcons don’t know if their quarterback of the future is on the roster, but they do know their No. 1 wide receiver will be for quite some time.  The Falcons and WR Drake London agreed to a four-year, $141M contract extension with $100M guaranteed on Tuesday. Per Spotrac,

The Detroit Lions had a rough 2025, despite having strong players on both the offensive and defensive sides of the field. The team wrapped up the season with a 9-8 record and no appearance in the postseason, so this upcoming season will be a make-or-break one for the franchise. When

The Rams added an all-time great defender when they acquired pass rusher extraordinaire Myles Garrett from the Browns on Monday. Garrett may not be the last future Hall of Famer to join the Rams’ defense before the upcoming season. On the heels of the Garrett trade, it appears retired Ram

The New York Giants made multiple additions to their passing attack on Monday when they came to terms on agreements with wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr., Braxton Berrios and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Understandably, the Giants bringing Beckham back to what was his NFL home from the 2014 draft through the 2018

After months of denying any interest in trading their most prized asset, the Cleveland Browns decided to pull the trigger on a Myles Garrett trade after all.  On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter in conjunction with his new NFL Network colleagues broke the news that the Browns are finalizing a deal to

Odell Beckham Jr. has completed his Monday workout with the Giants. He is far from the only free agent receiver New York is showing interest in, however. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios will take part in a workout today as well. The same is also true of Anthony Miller, NFL

For the past couple of years, Brandon Aiyuk has been a bit of a headache for the San Francisco 49ers. From a stand-off to finally signing a contract extension to a major injury and doubts about his work ethic and commitment, Aiyuk has given Kyle Shanahan plenty of headaches. That’s one

The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of momentum heading into 2026, largely thanks to their strong quarterback options between veteran Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza. Going into the NFL Draft, the Raiders took center stage with their no-brainer selection of Mendoza, who was undefeated with the Indiana Hoosiers

The Commanders ranked dead last in terms of total defense in 2025 and were the fifth-worst team with respect to passing defense. While Washington added CBs Amik Robertson and Ahkello Witherspoon in free agency this year, the team’s cornerback room still looks as if it could use a quality addition

The Cleveland Browns have one of the most fascinating quarterback dilemmas in the NFL heading into the 2026 season, as they juggle a large quarterback room that features second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders, veteran Deshaun Watson, who’s finally healthy following an Achilles injury, Dillon Gabriel and rookie Taylen Green. Sanders gets

There has been no shortage of coverage for the situation concerning Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and a potential offseason trade. At this point, it’s become widely accepted that the team will ship Brown off to New England, but they will wait until after June 1 to do so. Well,

There’s a competition going on between Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray for the QB 1 position, and one could say it’s not a friendly competition, at least according to McCarthy’s remarks. During OTAs this week, both quarterbacks were asked about how they’re working with each other as

Following the strong rookie campaign of Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II and the addition of veteran Pro Bowler David Njoku in free agency, it seems odd to assert that Charlie Kolar — TE3 for the Ravens last year — will be the new TE1 for the Chargers. However, that’s just

The Pittsburgh Steelers wisely used the majority of their draft picks to go after talent that would help and appease quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Two of their most obvious selections with Rodgers in mind were offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the draft and wide receiver Germie Bernard

Throughout the offseason, signs have pointed to the Texans waiting until after the 2026 season takes place before authorizing a C.J. Stroud extension.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart publicly addressed the controversy that stemmed from him introducing President Donald Trump at a rally last week.

As expected, following the NCAA’s denial of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby‘s reinstatement for the 2026 college football season, Sorsby’s team has filed an appeal.

It was learned on Wednesday that the Brown County District Attorney’s office was “not yet prepared to make a formal charging decision” after Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs was recently arrested on five charges, including a felony charge of strangulation and suffocation.

The countdown to June 1 continues as it pertains to an A.J. Brown trade. The swap ending his Eagles tenure is still expected to take place and send him to New England, but there is work to be done between those two teams. An official Brown-to-New England move is not guaranteed to

The Las Vegas Raiders are heading into the new season with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza. Since Mendoza is just getting his feet wet in the NFL, it would make the most sense for Cousins to start. But, if Cousins is hoping to be the Raiders’ starting

Before Von Miller committed to the Commanders last year, he reached out to the Broncos to gauge interest. His initial NFL team did not make an offer, and Denver’s defense proceeded to lead the NFL in sacks. Miller, however, bounced back with a productive year in Washington and intends to

Second-year New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and second-year pass-rusher Abdul Carter unexpectedly became the subjects of a potential controversy after Carter seemed to react negatively online to a video showing Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a recent event in New York.  Carter later shared that he and Dart “spoke earlier as men” and

MAY 27: Of James’ $57.5MM guarantee, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio notes $44MM is guaranteed at signing. That covers the deal’s first two years.

The New England Patriots faced harsh criticism for their somewhat easier schedule last season. Now, fresh off a heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl, Mike Vrabel’s team will look to prove that last year’s success wasn’t a fluke. That’s why they’re keeping an eye out for A.J. Brown and his

Packers running back Josh Jacobs was arrested today and booked on five charges, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

The NFL’s ongoing battle with the state of Florida over the Rooney Rule took another turn this month when attorney general James Uthmeier issued a 15-page subpoena to the league with a June 12 deadline to comply. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has since said (via Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein) that

Second-year New York Giants pass-rusher Abdul Carter generated headlines when he took to social media to share what seemed to be a negative reaction to a video showing second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a recent event in New York.  Carter later posted on X (formerly known as Twitter)

The Bengals recently declined to exercise Myles Murphy‘s fifth-year option. As a result, the pass rusher is a pending 2027 free agent. The chance of a departure on the open market will become a talking point, especially if Murphy delivers a strong showing in his fourth Cincinnati season. The Bengals

It’s no secret that NFL team owners want to move to an 18-game regular season as soon as next year, so much so that the league hasn’t yet finalized a date for Super Bowl LXII in February 2028.  It sounds like those owners may be accepting defeat regarding conversations with

A.J. Brown will remain a member of the Eagles through at least June 1. A trade after that upcoming date is still expected, although an agreement between Philadelphia and Brown’s long-presumed next team does not appear to be in place.

Baker Mayfield has been involved in one of the oddest quarterback conversations in the league for a long time now. When he is playing well, people have an excuse for it. When he is playing poorly, one bad throw suddenly means the Cleveland Browns were correct in their decision making
