The Bears’ special teams units will include a number of familiar faces in 2025. Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga has a deal in place to remain with the team, and the same is also true of cornerback Josh Blackwell. The latter was a restricted free agent, but the team announced on Thursday he has

Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger raised eyebrows when he said on a recent episode of his podcast he feels the club should re-sign backup quarterback Justin Fields over 2024 first-choice starter Russell Wilson this offseason.  During Thursday’s edition of FS1’s “The Facility” program, former NFL wide receiver James Jones offered quite an

Per Andrew Elmquist of Browns Nation, NFL Media’s Rich Eisen became the latest person to repeat a popular claim about the Cleveland Browns’ stance regarding Myles Garrett.

The safety position has been a talking point for the Vikings this offseason. As free agency approaches, the long-term future of one contributor at the position has been assured.

It remains to be seen how the Rams will handle the Cooper Kupp situation. As one wideout remains on course to depart Los Angeles, though, another is staying put. Tutu Atwell has agreed to a one-year deal which will allow him to remain with the Rams, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. This will

Almost immediately after a Wednesday report revealed that star wide receiver DK Metcalf wants to be traded from the Seattle Seahawks to “a contender,” some linked Metcalf with the Las Vegas Raiders because he played under recently hired Raiders head coach Pete Carroll with the Seahawks from 2019 through the

Talk of a potential D.K. Metcalf trade has taken place this offseason, and his situation saw a notable development yesterday when a request to be moved emerged. Further details on the financial motivation behind the move have emerged. Metcalf – who has one year remaining on his pact – is seeking a

Some NFL executives left the scouting combine believing that the Tennessee Titans would select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft and that the Cleveland Browns would grab Colorado signal-caller Shedeur Sanders with the draft’s second choice.  Executives also said that, if such a scenario played out,

The Bears continue to make moves on offense before the start of the new league year. Tight end Durham Smythe is headed to Chicago. Smythe was among the Dolphins’ recent salary cap cuts, and as a result he was allowed to join an interested team before the start of free agency. The

The “Aaron Rodgers: Enigma” Netflix docuseries released in 2024 gave football fans and critics of the New York Jets quarterback, alike, a unique inside look at the future Hall of Famer.  During a recent appearance on the “Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams,” “Enigma” director Gotham Chopra touched upon

Allen is entering the final year of a three-year, $45.75M contract, per OverTheCap. He has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal and will count for $19.8M against the 2025 salary cap.

Yet another experienced receiver will be available to teams in free agency. The Jaguars are cutting ties with Christian Kirk, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter reports. One season remained on Kirk’s contract.

The Joey Bosa era in Los Angeles is officially over. The LA Chargers announced on Wednesday that they have released the veteran outside linebacker Bosa. The move ends Bosa’s tenure with the team after nearly a decade. Bosa, 29, was the Chargers’ No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NFL

The Seahawks should have a robust trade market for wide receiver DK Metcalf, who requested out of Seattle on Wednesday. The six-year veteran has one year remaining on a three-year, $72 million extension he signed in July 2022. In 2024, Metcalf had 66 receptions, 992 yards (15 yards per reception)

The Cowboys have restructured Dak Prescott‘s contract, according to ESPN’s Todd Archer, creating $36.6MM of cap space on top of the $20MM created by yesterday’s restructure of CeeDee Lamb‘s deal.

There are undoubtedly two quarterbacks at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.  The first, for most, is Cam Ward out of Miami. He’s a 6-foot-2, 223-pound signal-caller who threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions last season.  Other scouts may prefer Shedeur Sanders out of

Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones has been an interesting name to watch over his time in the NFL. Playing for three teams over the course of his four-year rookie contract, the 25-year-old has developed into a tackling machine. With free agency on the horizon, the Seahawks have been working to re-sign

On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Chargers released edge-rusher Joey Bosa. Does that hint they’re poised to land a high-profile wide receiver? According to NFL contract expert and Over the Cap founder Jason Fitzgerald, releasing Bosa clears $25.36M in cap space for the Chargers. In 14 regular-season games in 2024,

More teams made tender/non-tender decisions on restricted and exclusive rights free agents today. Here are the latest updates: RFAs Non-tendered: Fraboni has served as the Broncos’ primary long snapper for each of the past two seasons, playing in all 17 games of each year as well as this year’s playoff

Bosa’s departure from Los Angeles was expected, as the 30-year-old pass-rusher carried a substantial cap hit in 2025. In addition, he has been injury-prone throughout his career. The third overall pick of the 2016 draft has failed to surpass 6.5 sacks each of the last three seasons and has missed

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Cooper Kupp on the trade block in February, and it still seems they don’t have many takers.  While the Rams haven’t agreed to a deal with another team, L.A. general manager Les Snead clarified that hasn’t changed the club’s plans.  “There’s a scenario,

The Dallas Cowboys can’t seem to learn from their past mistakes in free agency.  In 2024, Dallas ranked last in the league in free-agency spending ($18.85M), via Spotrac. Not filling their roster holes proved to be foolish for the Cowboys. They went 7-10 and missed the playoffs for the first

Following up on today’s earlier news that veteran wide receiver D.K.

Saquon Barkley, of course, led the way. But Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs and Joe Mixon mattered plenty to their 2024 teams’ success. Harris should benefit from this, but how other teams viewed their backfields will help him more. The Patriots, Panthers, Cardinals and Saints paid their starters. Alvin

After 2024 brought a record-setting salary cap spike, the 2025 league year introduced a jump that rivals it. We continue to see year-to-year leaps that dwarf what the 2011 CBA brought.
