It’s hardly a secret that Bill Belichick almost certainly wanted to return to NFL sidelines in 2025 since he’s just 15 wins away from breaking Don Shula’s league record for career victories earned by a head coach (regular season and postseason combined). While Belichick recently agreed to become head coach of the

A mutual interest exists between the Cowboys and Micah Parsons for a long-term extension to be worked out. Negotiations with the All-Pro edge rusher will be a central storyline during the offseason, but Parsons hopes to have a deal in place before the start of the new league year. “I’m going to

As injuries have harpooned a 49ers NFC title defense for the second time in five years, the team’s offseason becomes more relevant. The 49ers extended Deommodore Lenoir earlier this season but still has several starters moving toward free agency. The Lenoir extension probably sends Charvarius Ward back to the market,

While the situation could change, considering the New York Jets don’t have a full-time general manager or a full-time head coach employed ahead of Christmas, it seems like Jets owner Woody Johnson will move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers after this season.  For a piece published on Friday, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe spoke with

The 2025 NFL Draft is fast approaching as the college football season comes to an end and the pre-draft process begins. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has likely solidified himself as a first-round pick, even a top-five draft pick, but according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, he isn’t currently projected

Shedeur Sanders prefers to play for the Las Vegas Raiders. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported Friday that multiple sources told him that the Colorado quarterback would prefer to be drafted by the Raiders. Raider Nation would go crazy if the Raiders do end up with the 6-foot-2 Sanders, giving the team

Some analysts and even one unnamed executive from another team have recently suggested the San Francisco 49ers should think twice before locking quarterback Brock Purdy down via a lucrative contract extension this offseason.  49ers tight end George Kittle addressed such takes while speaking with reporters on Thursday.  “I think Brock has done nothing but

After inking a one-year deal with the Steelers this offseason, Russell Wilson has seen a career resurgence. If the veteran QB has his way, the partnership will extend beyond the 2024 campaign. During a recent episode of Hard Knocks, Wilson revealed that he’d like to re-sign with the Steelers this

Year 2 with the Panthers has seen Bryce Young removed and re-inserted into the lineup amongst up-and-down performances.

Months after the Dallas Cowboys signed wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott to contract extensions earlier this year, speculation arose that the club could make star pass-rusher Micah Parsons available to other teams during the upcoming offseason.  Parsons, Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones and team owner/general manager Jerry Jones have since

Did Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hint he may retire soon?  On a Wednesday episode of his podcast, “New Heights,” the Cleveland Heights, Ohio native made intriguing comments about the Chiefs’ 21-7 victory over the Browns in Week 15.  “It felt so surreal,” Kelce told his brother Jason.
