Evidenced further by the events of this offseason, quarterbacks possess unrivaled leverage. Trevor Lawrence and Jordan Love rose to the top of the NFL’s salary hierarchy for a period, joining Joe Burrow on that perch without similar accolades. Dak Prescott then smashed through that ceiling to a watershed contract, using

Ja’Marr Chase has been absolutely cooking for the Cincinnati Bengals this season, and continued to show his brilliance on “Monday Night Football,” against the Dallas Cowboys. On the first of his 14 receptions he became the first player in NFL history to haul in at least 80 passes, seven touchdowns

Aikman said he expects Mike McCarthy to

Veteran edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is “in great shape and ready to come in and contribute,” according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Pierre has not played in the NFL for almost a year. He played in two games for the Dolphins in 2023 after they signed him from the Saints’ practice

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams realizes his reunion with quarterback Aaron Rodgers will probably be short-lived.  The Jets (3-10) were eliminated from the playoffs in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Considering it’s failed to meet expectations this season, New York may end

After a significant reduction in 2021, the NFL’s salary cap is back on the rise. This year brought a record spike, which produced some windfalls — particularly along the offensive and defensive lines — in the days that followed. More growth is coming, but not quite as much as what

The Bengals have Joe Burrow signed to the second-most lucrative quarterback deal, and Chase is playing his way toward a contract that will likely eclipse Jefferson’s $35M-per-year pact. The Bengals have not seriously negotiated with Higgins since the first half of 2023, and in becoming the only team to tag

With Ja’Marr Chase‘s run of monster games bolstering his case to surpass Justin Jefferson as the NFL’s highest-paid receiver, the prospect the Bengals separate their long-running wide receiver tandem increases. Higgins has long been expected to leave Cincinnati in 2025, be it in free agency or potentially via a tag-and-trade

Bill Belichick‘s avenue back to the NFL may close soon. Although it is still believed the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach’s preference is a return to the league, he looks to have a path available that take him away from that pursuit. The North Carolina talks have reached a place

While NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated suggested last week that the Pittsburgh Steelers could let veteran quarterback Russell Wilson test free agency in March 2025 “and ask him to give them the right to match whatever is out there,” it seems with each win that Wilson becomes more

Zamir White‘s 2024 season has come to an end. The third-year running back was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, the Raiders announced. White has been limited to eight games this season, and the quad injury he is currently dealing with has left him out of the lineup since Week 12.

Whispers continue to hover over the 3-10 New England Patriots, suggesting that first-year head coach Jerod Mayo may need to earn at least one win over the season’s final four weeks to keep his job through the winter.  Patriots icon and Hall of Famer Ty Law seems convinced team owner Robert

In the wake of Derek Carr‘s injury, the Saints have added a quarterback. Ben DiNucci has joined the team, per a Tuesday announcement from the veteran passer himself.

Deion Jones has not played in 2024, but that could change relatively soon. The veteran linebacker is signing with the Buccaneers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

After long-running speculation about his Patriots tenure coming to an end, K.J. Osborn is indeed on the way out. The veteran receiver is being waived, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

There’s been a lot of talk about the Eagles passing game lately, and for good reason. Running back Saquon Barkley has carried the team so far, but Philadelphia won’t beat Pittsburgh without a big day from quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Eagles are 11-2 and have won a franchise-record nine straight

DeMarvion Overshown missed his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL, and he is once again facing the possibility of a lengthy recovery.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield previously said that he was “proud of” how Carolina Panthers second-year signal-caller Bryce Young has bounced back from being benched earlier in the season.  Following Carolina’s 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday that dropped the Panthers to 3-10, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts touched upon what he saw

Antoine Winfield Jr. has run into further injury trouble in 2024. The All-Pro safety is expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee sprain, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday. Winfield suffered an ankle and foot sprain in Week 1, and that injury led to missed time. After missing

Some members  of the NFL community suggested after the Minnesota Vikings improved to 11-2 on the season via Sunday’s 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons that the Vikings should hold onto quarterback Sam Darnold this offseason even though they selected signal-caller J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick of the

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is a picky man.  Johnson is expected to be among the hottest head-coaching candidates in the upcoming hiring cycle. The Lions (12-1) lead the league in points scored (32.1) due in part to his elite play calling. Although he should have many suitors, Sports

It’s time for Falcons head coach Raheem Morris to bench Kirk Cousins, but he probably won’t for a non-football reason. The Cousins experiment is failing in Atlanta. The Falcons (6-7) lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday, 42-21 to the Vikings (11-2). During Atlanta’s losing streak, Cousins is 88-of-141 (62.4

On paper, Monday night’s game between two losing teams, the Bengals (5-8) and Cowboys (5-8), didn’t seem like it would be all that memorable. But an inexplicable Cowboys mental error ensured their 27-20 loss wouldn’t be forgotten in Dallas for some time. Here are five takeaways: Joe Burrow gets help

The injury woes continue for the 49ers. Ben Bartch has been a bright spot for the 49ers over the past few weeks, but the offensive lineman will now miss the remainder of the regular season. The guard is expected to land on injured reserve later this week, per ESPN’s Nick

It was going well for the Cowboys until it wasn’t. Dallas appeared to have made a game-altering (in its favor) play in its 27-20 loss to Cincinnati after blocking Bengals punter Ryan Rehkow’s kick with under two minutes left and the game tied at 20.  But instead of taking over

Giants cornerback Tre Hawkins is likely done for the season. The second-year pro suffered a fractured lumbar spine yesterday, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

It was hinted in late November that the Cleveland Browns could bench veteran quarterback Jameis Winston to “get a look at” 2023 fifth-round draft pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson before the season concludes.  Even though the 3-10 Browns have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, head coach Kevin Stefanski somewhat surprisingly confirmed on Monday

Derek Carr is not in the picture for the time being after he fractured his non-throwing hand yesterday. The veteran Saints passer could still be an option to see time at the end of the campaign, however. When addressing the matter on Monday, interim head coach Darren Rizzi said time will be

The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 10-3 on the season via a 27-14 home win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday that wasn’t nearly as nervy as the final score might suggest.  Following that victory, Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth explained how Russell Wilson won the locker room over as he

Coming off their bye week, the Texans could have a pair of reinforcements. Linebacker Christian Harris and guard Kenyon Green have been designated for return, per a team announcement.

Has quarterback Sam Darnold solidified his future with the Minnesota Vikings?  When the Vikings signed Darnold to a one-year, $10M deal this offseason, it seemed he would be a bridge QB for rookie J.J.
