Recent comments made by Browns co-owner Jimmy Haslam — the first time anyone within the organization publicly admitted the historic and controversial Watson acquisition is a failure — further reinforce that possibility, as ESPN.com’s Daniel Oyefusi writes. Of course, because of Watson’s contract — which was recently restructured for immediate

McMillan’s size (6-foot-4, 219 pounds), catch radius and ability to make contested catches are among his chief selling points, while his lack of deep speed and inability to create consistent separation — which is why he needed to make so many contested grabs – have caused some concern. The highest

Retooling after a failed Aaron Rodgers experiment, they have new decision-makers set for their first draft. As Darren Mougey prepares for his first Jets draft, two names are coming up as players to monitor at No. 7 overall. Although the team was listed as a potential stealth destination for Shedeur

On Sunday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Low reported former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was found dead Saturday night in Houston. He was 24.  Per Schefter and Low, the cause of death was not immediately known. Past LSU stars mourned the loss of Lacy. Former LSU quarterback Jayden

Joining the Patriots months after Pete Carroll‘s ouster, Tom Brady later led the team to a last-second win over Carroll’s Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. The decades-long NFL presences are now working together in an attempt to revitalize the Raiders, with each carrying significant personnel say in a setup that

Thanks in large part to the $22.85MM roster bonus that vested on April 1, along with the fact that his contract and recent ACL tear have cratered his trade value, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be back with the 49ers in 2025 as both player and team attempt to rebound

First-round wide receiver prospect Tetairoa McMillan has secured visits with the Patriots, Saints, and Cowboys, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Wilson also confirms the previously-reported McMillan-Panthers summit. McMillan’s size (6-4, 219), catch radius, and ability to make contested catches are among his chief selling points, while his lack of deep speed

Former Louisiana and LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy passed away last night, as Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Lacy was just 24, and according to WBRZ 2, he died by suicide. Lacy’s size (6-3, 212) and route-running acumen made him an intriguing professional prospect. After playing the 2023 slate in

The Browns have added Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to their quarterback room this offseason, and the club may still select a rookie passer in this month’s draft. Deshaun Watson has performed poorly during his Cleveland tenure, and with his 2025 availability in doubt, it is eminently possible that he

The Saints had planned to start Derek Carr at quarterback in 2025, but Carr’s shoulder malady – which may impact his regular season availability – could increase the club’s urgency to select a passer in the upcoming draft. Per Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com, the Saints hosted Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough

A 2022 ACL tear ended Kyler Murray‘s campaign that season and delayed his return to the field until the midway point of the following season. 2024 thus marked an important checkpoint in his recovery as the Pro Bowl quarterback managed to play a full slate. Mobility was an issue for part

Braden Smith managed 12 appearances for the Colts in 2024, remaining a full-time starter up front. The veteran right tackle was away from the team for the end of the campaign, however, and further details regarding his absence have emerged. In a detailed piece documenting Smith’s situation, Joel A. Erickson of

Courtland Sutton‘s contract status was a talking point for the Broncos last offseason until a 2024 top-up was agreed to. As a result, this year represents the window for an extension to be worked out as Denver looks to negotiate several new deals. No Sutton agreement is in place yet, meaning he

Courtland Sutton‘s contract status was a talking point for the Broncos last offseason until a 2024 top-up was agreed to. As a result, this year represents the window for an extension to be worked out as Denver looks to negotiate several new deals. No Sutton agreement is in place yet,

While much of the pre-draft focus coming out of College Station this year has been on likely first-round pass rusher Shemar Stewart, teammate of one year and fellow pass rusher Nic Scourton may quietly sneak into the first round with him. According to sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline, Scourton has been getting

The Chicago Bears’ Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders ended up being one of the big turning points in their 2024 season. According to starting quarterback Caleb Williams, the way that loss was handled by then-head coach Matt Eberflus annoyed the team’s locker room. Williams made that revelation in

While having a record-setter at tight end does kind of mask other shortcomings in the passing game for the Raiders, there still seems to be a noticeable need for help at wide receiver. According to Tashan Reed of The Athletic, help could come through both free agency and the 2025

We are only five years removed from the 2020 NFL Draft, when then-head coach Matt Rhule and the Panthers went defense with all seven of their draft picks. New head coach Dave Canales seems more willing to let general manager Dan Morgan run the show, but the 2025 NFL Draft

April 12th, 2025 at 12:55pm CST by Sam Robinson Although Abdul Carter‘s foot injury created some early-offseason concern, the Penn State prospect has not run into any real hurdles toward becoming a surefire top-four pick. The edge defender did not see any emerge during a Combine medical recheck, either, as

Becoming the team that took a chance on Hendon Hooker in the 2023 draft, the Lions are still not sold on the former college standout as their entrenched backup quarterback. This view became clear when they brought Teddy Bridgewater out of retirement last year, and a subsequent free agency decision

Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is being sued over his alleged involvement in a shooting at a car dealership. Christian Nshimiyimana, owner of an exotic car rental business, filed a $1M lawsuit against Sneed, claiming that either Sneed or his personal assistant shot at Nshimiyimana at a dealership in December,

Evan Neal came into the NFL with some guard experience, playing there at points at Alabama. Some evaluators viewed that as the former high-end prospect’s better NFL spot. After faceplanting at tackle, Neal may have no choice. This could be where the situation is headed, as ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan labels

It is not exactly a secret the Colts could view this draft as the avenue to upgrade a tight end contingent that has been an issue for a while. Although Indianapolis ranked 32nd in receptions from tight ends last season, the team has been in need for many years at

Once again, the Saints crawled out of cap hell to create enough space to make some notable offseason additions. This included re-signing Chase Young and Juwan Johnson and adding Justin Reid to team with the player he replaced in Kansas City, Tyrann Mathieu. The latter also recommitted to the team

Dak Prescott sounds more than ready to put his major hamstring injury behind him. Prescott’s 2024 season came to an abrupt end after he tore his hamstring in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s been a long yet steady road to recovery for the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. In March,

“I think it would be dope, a lot of great people there, a lot of talented players,” Jeanty said when asked what it would mean to be a Cowboy, per the team’s website.  Jeanty attended Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas and has even played games at nearby AT&T

The Raiders’ Geno Smith trade and subsequent extension provides time for the team to determine a long-term solution at the game’s premier position. Smith and Pete Carroll‘s contractual timelines match up, and the Raiders have the luxury of steering clear of a maligned quarterback draft class. The potential for the

Since January, numerous analysts and reporters have said that none of the quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft have “a true first-round grade” and that most of them should spend at least the upcoming season developing as backups.  However, The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen is among those who view Louisville’s Tyler Shough as a

Another Derek Carr restructure ties the Saints to the middling quarterback for the 2025 season and will make it costly to separate in 2026. As GM Mickey Loomis continues to delay a rebuild, New Orleans could have a potential opportunity to land a surefire Carr successor at No. 9 overall.

Joe Flacco will return to Cleveland for 2025. The 40-year-old quarterback has an agreement in place with the Browns, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move is now official. This will be a one-year deal with a base value of $4M, per Flacco’s agency. The pact can be

The Patriots have their right tackle position locked down with Morgan Moses on a three-year deal, despite his advanced age of 34 years old. After uninspiring performances in 2024 from Vederian Lowe and Caedan Wallace, the team still has questions at the left tackle position. New head coach Mike Vrabel

When Joe Flacco joined the Cleveland Browns in 2023, it was taken as mostly a joke around the NFL. But he exceeded everyone’s expectations by going 4-1 in five starts with 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns and leading the Browns on to the playoffs.  He played so well that he

As the Saints determine if they want to make a significant quarterback investment, they have another issue to deal with regarding their current starter. While coming to New Orleans as one of the NFL’s most durable players, Derek Carr has run into frequent health concerns. His latest involves a shoulder

Regardless of what happens with Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers know they must find a quarterback of the future. One national analyst thinks Pittsburgh should draft Shedeur Sanders to fulfill that need. While former NFL general manager and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannebaum doesn’t believe drafting Sanders has to mean scrapping

The Dolphins are reportedly doing some homework on high-ranked tight end prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. Though, at No. 13 overall, Miami may be out of range of top tight end prospect Tyler Warren of Penn State, the team took a look at two options that could be around

Following the NFL Scouting Combine, whispers emerged claiming that some NFL teams had Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart ranked ahead of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders as the second-best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class behind Miami’s Cam Ward. For a piece published Friday, ESPN draft analyst and league insider Matt Miller

After getting a chance to play near his hometown in Miami last year, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley could get a chance to play near his alma mater. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, Huntley worked out for the Cardinals today. Originally an undrafted free agent out of Utah, Huntley

Reports claiming that multiple teams have Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart ahead of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders as the No. 2 QB behind Miami’s Cam Ward in the 2025 NFL Draft may overshadow earlier claims that none of this month’s draft-eligible quarterbacks deserve first-round grades. In a piece published Friday, ESPN’s Bill Connelly discussed why

A week after Julio Jones‘ retirement, the player chosen one spot ahead of him in a loaded 2011 draft is walking away as well. Like Jones, Patrick Peterson did not play in 2024. And the decorated cornerback is planning to retire with the Cardinals on Monday, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter reports.

The 2025 NFL Draft is now 13 days away.   The Dolphins have the 13th pick. In 2019, they used the 13th pick on Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. This year, they’ve been linked to these players in many mock drafts. T Kelvin Banks Jr. | Texas Even before All-Pro

Here are today’s minor moves: Atlanta Falcons Kansas City Chiefs Miami Dolphins King returned to the field last year for the first time since 2021. A former second-round pick for the Packers, King was a starter in Green Bay before deciding to sit out the 2022 season for personal reasons.

Former All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson has decided to retire, but he is first returning to the place where his career began. Peterson will sign a contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday so he can retire as a member of the team, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Peterson spent the

TreVeyon Henderson took the unusual step of returning to school for a fourth season as a high-profile running back. The decision put more mileage on the four-year Ohio State cog’s odometer, but the arrival of Quinshon Judkins lightened the workload. Both players are now part of a deep RB class,

When the New Orleans Saints decided to bring quarterback Derek Carr back for the 2025 season it seemed to at least solidify the position for one more year. They might end up having to go back to the drawing board, and perhaps make the position an even bigger priority in

D’Andre Swift was the first free agent to commit during last year’s legal tampering period. The Eagles had eyed a re-signing, but in a rather seminal development, their 2023 starter’s price tag moved outside their comfort zone. This sent Swift to Chicago (on a three-year, $24MM deal) and Saquon Barkley

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders’s alleged draft stock has taken numerous hits after he reportedly “hit the wrong notes” in interviews with some teams during the NFL Scouting Combine and after he lacked “elite traits” during his pro day workout on April 4. During an appearance on NFL Network’s “The Insiders”

Calais Campbell will attempt to submit a Hall of Fame closing argument where his NFL career began, reuniting with the Cardinals last week. The decorated defensive lineman passed on Dolphins and Ravens offers to return to Arizona. The Cardinals let Campbell walk in 2017, when he finished off the Jaguars’

Other than Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe may be the most polarizing quarterback prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class. While ESPN’s Ben Solak claimed as recently as April 9 that Milroe should be a third-round pick, his acceptance of an invitation to attend the draft indicates he’ll find an

QB dominoes are falling Friday, and a third reunion will take place. After Joe Flacco and Josh Johnson made return trips Friday morning, Drew Lock will follow suit. The Seahawks are re-signing Lock, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero. Lock will slide in as a Sam Darnold backup, doing so after playing

Not long after reports confirmed that the Las Vegas Raiders had signed recently acquired quarterback Geno Smith to a two-year contract extension, NFL insiders such as Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio pointed out the Raiders technically could move on from Smith as soon as next offseason.
