The Steelers have an established history of centering their wide receiver groups around one notable payment, while making other pass catchers one-contract players. Hines Ward and Antonio Brown served as cornerstones, and the team surrounded Diontae Johnson‘s extension with rookie-contract cogs. D.K. Metcalf now serves as the Steelers’ receiving anchor,

One of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ big offseason acquisitions may have made another of their notable players expendable.

The Patriots are open to trading wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports, among other players from the previous coaching staff.

Howie Roseman has developed a reputation around the NFL and is now getting the Billy Beane treatment from his colleagues. Roseman, 49, is in his second stint as the Eagles general manager. Since he reassumed the role in 2019, the Eagles have made five playoff appearances and reached the Super

It’s the 2025 NFL Draft’s worst-kept secret that the Titans are likely to have a new quarterback in the building soon. With Tennessee expected to use their No. 1 overall draft pick on Miami’s Cam Ward, incumbent passer Will Levis could be expendable. In fact, Diana Russini of The Athletic

There are several paths the Las Vegas Raiders could choose when the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday from Green Bay. The Raiders hold the No. 6 pick, and they could ultimately decide to trade back. If they stick at six, however, many mock drafts have

April 23rd, 2025 at 4:37pm CST by Sam Robinson The Broncos have been connected to trading up, but a year after Sean Payton admitted he participated in a smokescreen operation surrounding a potential first-round move up the board, the team may be content staying at No. 20. A recent report

After months of mock drafts and mind-numbing speculation, the NFL Draft is upon us.   The first round is Thursday (8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, ESPN, ABC, ESPN Deportes), followed by rounds 2 and 3 on Friday (7 p.m. ET on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes). The draft

Although Shedeur Sanders probably enters the draft with the most compelling storyline, a player who came off the board on Day 3 13 years ago is pushing for a front-row spot. The Kirk Cousins situation remains foggy, even after the demoted Falcons quarterback reported on time for his team’s offseason

Updates offered as recently as Wednesday indicated that the New York Giants are prepared to select Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.  While speaking with Ryan Novozinsky of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com on Wednesday, Carter sounded like somebody who knew

Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins missed most of his debut year in Las Vegas after season-ending surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his foot.

The Eagles made two pick-swap deals that involved third-round choices last year, acquiring Kenny Pickett and Jahan Dotson.

The Saints could go in any number of directions with the No. 9 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, but selecting a quarterback is appearing less likely a day before the first-round commences. This content was brought to you by: Yardbarker: NFL

Not seeing Stetson Bennett make much progress as a potential long-term option, the Rams re-signed Jimmy Garoppolo as Matthew Stafford‘s backup. The team, however, still needs a post-Stafford answer; the QB will play an age-37 season in 2025. This draft is not teeming with QB options like last year’s brought,

NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero generated plenty of headlines when he shared in an article published on Tuesday evening that he heard from an unnamed “longtime NFL assistant coach” that Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed “the worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life” during the predraft process. 

The Saints maneuvered to make two first-round picks in 2022. One has worked out, the other has not. As a result, Mickey Loomis said Wednesday the team will only pick up one fifth-year option from that first-round haul. Chris Olave‘s contract will now run through 2026 (via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport),

Reports leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft indicated that there wasn’t a “consensus” within the New York Giants’ building about whether to grab Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the player-selection process, as Giants head coach Brian Daboll allegedly “warmed to” Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart throughout the scouting process.  It appears that Pittsburgh head

With the 2025 NFL Draft’s first round a little over 24 hours away, all signs point toward the Titans, who own the No. 1 overall pick, choosing Miami quarterback Cam Ward. That could be a mistake. While the Titans will celebrate landing a potential franchise cornerstone, Ward is by no

The New England Patriots are widely viewed as being locked in on one specific player ahead of the NFL Draft, and that might be exactly what they want other teams to think. Just about every mock draft you can find has the Patriots selecting LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell with

The New York Giants have shown interest in Shedeur Sanders leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, but all signs point to them selecting a different player, at least with the No. 3 overall pick. During the latest episode of his self-titled podcast, longtime NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay said

Now that it’s known the Tennessee Titans will hold onto the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, it seems to be a lock that Tennessee will use that asset to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward.  For a piece published by the NFL’s website on Tuesday, former pro signal-caller

CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky | Time: 4.28 Hairston ran the fastest 40-yard dash (4.28 seconds) at the combine in Indianapolis.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insists he has something in the works before the 2025 NFL Draft, scheduled Thursday-Saturday in Green Bay.  In his Tuesday news conference, Jones said the Cowboys are working on two trades.  “We’re looking at two things that could happen before or after the draft,” Jones

April 22nd, 2025 at 7:24pm CST by Sam Robinson The trendy Jaguars pick in mocks for weeks, Mason Graham may not be Duval County-bound after all. The Jaguars ranked 31st defensively last season (25th against the run), but they might be viewing No. 5 overall as too steep for the

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves: Detroit Lions Minnesota Vikings Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers The Steelers let Najee Harris walk in free agency, passing on re-signing their four-year starting RB despite the Chargers only giving him a one-year, $5.25MM deal.

The most accomplished piece included in the Bears’ March interior O-line overhaul, Joe Thuney is going into a contract year.

This act surprised some in the building, per NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo. This comes during an interesting stretch, as Cousins is not open to waiving his no-trade clause until after the draft.

Joining Vic Fangio as 2023 Dolphins additions that will not lead to a long-term fit, Jalen Ramsey is on the trade block. Interested teams have a clear window to acquire the All-Pro cornerback — in what would be his third career trade — before and during the draft. The Dolphins
