Clowney’s future in Carolina has been a talking point this offseason, with the team engaging in trade talks before the draft. No deal was worked out during the event, but the Panthers added a pair of edge-rushers on Day 2. As a result, Clowney’s tenure remained far from certain. Now,

Of course, the Hendrickson situation doesn’t have to end in a trade. The Bengals have a projected $85M in cap space for 2026 (per Spotrac), so they have enough flexibility to give the star defensive end the extension he desires.  After giving WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins a combined

For the fourth time in four years, former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Jadeveon Clowney is looking for a new home. The Carolina Panthers released the 11-year veteran after just one season in Charlotte, where he recorded 5.5 sacks in 14 games but was part of a defense that

On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers placed 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, meaning the 21-year-old will miss the 2025 season.

The timing of Alex Singleton‘s ACL tear raised questions about his ability to rehab in time for the start of the 2025 campaign. The Broncos linebacker recently made it clear he still expects to be at full strength in time for Week 1, though. “I feel like I’m on schedule. It’s

By the night of April 24, NFL insiders and casual football fans understood that the Tennessee Titans were going to make Miami’s Cam Ward, the consensus best quarterback in his class, the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.  That didn’t stop New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen from

The Panthers’ offseason roster cuts will include Jadeveon Clowney. The veteran pass rusher is being released, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The move is now official.

There’s going to be a battle brewing in Jacksonville this Florida, regarding No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter. He’s a supremely talented player on both sides of the ball. That’s the reason he won the Heisman Trophy in 2024 after he starred as both a wide receiver and cornerback for

Each of the 49ers’ first five picks of the 2025 NFL Draft were on the defensive side of the ball, starting with Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams at No. 11 overall. General manager John Lynch recently discussed the situation in an appearance on the Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast, claiming that,

The Pittsburgh Steelers may reportedly replace George Pickens with one of Aaron Rodgers’ most trusted former teammates.

The Bengals are at a stalemate with Trey Hendrickson. The team has yet to meet his demand for a contract extension or a trade, which could lead him to hold out this summer, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Hendrickson is due $16MM in 2025, the final year of his contract.

After trading George Pickens to the Cowboys, the Steelers could be in the market to add depth at wide receiver. Their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers may point them towards one of his favorite targets: Allen Lazard. Lazard is currently under contract with the Jets, but he is “‘in play’ to

The Pittsburgh Steelers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The Cowboys are now the team evaluating George Pickens regarding an extension, having acquired the contract-year wide receiver from the Steelers on Wednesday morning.
