The Cowboys will soon need to make a decision on Tyler Smith‘s fifth-year option. The team’s top offensive lineman can be counted on to remain in Dallas for at least two more years, though. Smith’s 2026 option is expected to be picked up, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Former NFL general manager/current ESPN personality Mike Tannenbaum and Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio are among analysts who now believe the Pittsburgh Steelers should want to avoid the full “Aaron Rodgers Experience” after Rodgers indicated during a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he’s not close to signing a

During the pre-draft process, the Raiders have consistently been linked to Ashton Jeanty. The consensus top running back in the 2025 class is understandably seen by many as a strong candidate for the sixth overall pick, but other teams are worth watching on this front as well. The Jaguars can be listed as

Free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers may or may not prefer to join the Minnesota Vikings over the Pittsburgh Steelers this spring, but there was no indication coming off the Easter holiday that the Vikings want to start Rodgers over 2024 first-round draft pick J.J.

All 32 teams still own their first-round pick as the countdown to the draft nears an end. Movement up and down the order could be in store soon, although 2025 is not expected to witness many blockbuster trades given the nature of this year’s class. As a result, the list

In March, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio suggested that the supposed slide of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock was at least somewhat related to fears NFL coaches may have about possibly losing their jobs to Colorado coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s father, as early as January 2026.  For an article

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of Hall of Fame NFL cornerback and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, has been one of the 2025 NFL Draft class’s most polarizing prospects. At times trending to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, Sanders’ draft stock has slowly fallen in

The Commanders are interested in adding a wide receiver during next week’s draft, per Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline, though their lack of a third-round pick could complicate their strategy.

NFL front offices expected Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon to go in the first round of next week’s draft, according to Jason La Canfora of The Washington Post. Michigan’s Mason Graham is widely considered the draft’s top DT, but there’s no clear No. 2 behind him. That could be Harmon,

The Steelers have a first-round grade on Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, though that does not mean they’ll prioritize the position over other needs in next week’s draft.

While the Chiefs again turned to Patrick Mahomes‘ increasingly team-friendly contract for a restructure to create cap space, they did move on from a core player to make room for Trey Smith‘s franchise tag.

The Tyreek Hill trade gave the Chiefs two first-round picks in 2022.

The New York Jets, unsurprisingly, have a different characterization of their now-infamous meeting with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers blasted the Jets for their handling of his release, but the Jets would not entirely agree with how he characterized the meeting. In an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show” Friday, NFL

Recent reports have indicated that Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders could slide out of the top 10 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft, in part because “the majority of the league” doesn’t see him as a first-round talent.  When asked to make a bold prediction for an article published on Friday,

Braxton Jones missed the final two games of the 2024 campaign due to ankle surgery, a procedure which ensured a lengthy recovery timeline. The latest update on his recovery notes Chicago’s starting left tackle is making progress, but he is unlikely to be back to 100% in time for training camp.

We’ve seen lately that a litany of first-round options at edge rushing positions could lead to a run at the position in the first two days of the 2025 NFL Draft. After Penn State’s Abdul Carter (projected at Nos. 2 or 3 overall), there isn’t expected to be another pass

In our recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft, we projected that LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell would be selected by the Patriots at No. 4 overall, and we don’t appear to be alone in that projection. Ben Volin of the Boston Globe recently asserted that “all roads lead to” New England

The University of Georgia has been a pipeline for first-round defensive talent in the past several years. Since 2016, 11 Bulldogs have been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, including in 2022 when No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker was joined by four other defensive teammates in

Shoulder surgery could force Carr to miss some, if not all, of the 2025 season, effectively forcing the Saints into a long-avoided rebuild. That could push them to using the No. 9 pick on a quarterback after doing their homework on this year’s class. However, surgery is not a certainty,

NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein compares Graham to the Raiders’ Christian Wilkins, a first-round pick of the Dolphins in 2019.  “Graham’s first-step quickness makes interior disruption inevitable,” Zierlein wrote. “He has the instant read and response to regularly beat lateral blocks.” If taken, Graham would be Jacksonville’s first interior defender taken

The Ravens are well-known for their draft approach of taking the best players available regardless of position, though they’re not above taking a player at a position of need if they believe it’s at a good value.
