Following the Amari Cooper swap, more Browns seller’s trades are expected.

Luke Getsy came to the Raiders after the team’s negotiations with Kliff Kingsbury broke down. Eventually pivoting to a Commanders offer (with some help from minority Commanders owner Magic Johnson), Kingsbury sought a three-year deal from the Raiders, who were offering a two-year pact. The Raiders circled back to Getsy,

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa received some criticism after his inability to catch a shotgun snap resulted in a safety during this past Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals that Miami lost 28-27.  Tagovailoa spoke with reporters on Wednesday and rebuked those who blamed him for the club’s slump to 2-5 on

As the Steelers have climbed to 6-2, they have seen Russell Wilson deliver two promising starts in wins over the Jets and Giants. Those conquests still do not appear to have moved the AFC North leaders out of a wide receiver market they have populated for months. The Steelers have

Earlier this week, second-year pro Anthony Richardson of the Indianapolis Colts became the latest quarterback drafted since the spring of 2021 to be benched by his first NFL team.  During Wednesday’s edition of the “Unsportsmanlike” program, ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. offered advice to signal-callers not yet eligible to play at the

Entering Week 9, the races for key end-of-season awards are taking shape. In the AFC, a former national champion is a leading contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, a conference quarterback is making a great case that he’s deserving of another MVP, but he must hold off this

The Bills are still counting on their veteran linebacker to make a late-season return. Coach Sean McDermott told reporters that the Bills still see a path where linebacker Matt Milano plays during the 2024 campaign (per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic).

It is not especially common for a highly drafted quarterback to be benched and then resurface as a long-term starter with that team, but two players from the 2023 draft are attempting such climbs anyway. Anthony Richardson has followed Bryce Young in being benched during the first half of his

The coach added that Milano continues to move “in the right direction” as he recovers from a torn bicep. McDermott also noted that Milano continues to have an impact on the current squad, with the coach lauding the player’s leadership during the rehab process (per ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg). “There is

The Houston Texans are clearly banking on second-year wide receiver Tank Dell emerging as a viable replacement for Stefon Diggs.  On Tuesday, the Texans placed Diggs on injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in a, 23-20, Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer

Less than one week remains until the 2024 trade deadline. An offseason measure to move the deadline back one week passed, sliding the deadline beyond Week 9 after it had resided the Tuesday following Week 8 since 2012. That opens the door to more activity this season. The 2024 offseason

On Wednesday, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen insisted that his decision to bench starting quarterback Anthony Richardson in favor of backup Joe Flacco had nothing to do with Richardson going to the sidelines for one play during this past Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans because the second-year pro was “tired.”  Richardson later

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni couldn’t prevent the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles from losing five of their final six regular-season games before the 11-6 side suffered an embarrassing 32-9 wild-card playoff defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Eagles at 5-2 heading into this coming Sunday’s home

The Patriots made their first trade deadline move on Monday, sending edge rusher Josh Uche to the Chiefs for a sixth-round pick, and New England may have more moves in store as November 5 approaches. The Patriots are “fielding calls on corners and receivers,” per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, with

Stefon Diggs issued his first public comments about his season-ending knee injury. Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Tuesday that Diggs had suffered a torn ACL that would end his season. The Texans receiver suffered the injury on a non-contact play in Houston’s game against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Assembling a high-end receiving corps this offseason, the Texans have received bad news on their highest-profile target. Stefon Diggs‘ test results revealed a season-ending injury. Diggs’ non-contact malady is a torn ACL, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero reports. This is a crushing blow to a Texans team currently playing without Nico Collins.

Although the Houston Texans have lost one of their biggest stars to a season-ending injury, they should remain a Super Bowl contender.  On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending knee injury in a 23-20 Week 8 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs is a

Not long after Colts head coach Shane Steichen left the door open to a quarterback change, the team is indeed taking that route. Joe Flacco will get the nod over Anthony Richardson in Week 9, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler. Flacco has already made four appearances and a pair of starts

T.J. Watt is quite good at sacking the quarterback, something he reminded the country of on “Monday Night Football.” Watt brought down New York Giants signal caller Daniel Jones twice in the 26-18 win for his 102nd and 103rd career sacks, reaching the number in a staggering 112 games. Earlier

For a second straight year, the Jaguars and Vikings have a deal in place involving an offensive lineman at the trade deadline. Cam Robinson is set to replace Christian Darrisaw. The Vikings will act swiftly, with NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reporting they are acquiring the longtime Jaguars left

Saints head coach Dennis Allen should be in a must-win situation in Week 9. New Orleans (2-6), riding a six-game losing streak, has a perfect opportunity to get back into the win column this Sunday on the road against the Carolina Panthers (1-7). If it doesn’t, Allen might be better

Diontae Johnson is indeed on the move. The veteran wideout is being dealt from the Panthers to the Ravens, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Schefter adds the teams will swap fifth-and sixth-round picks as part of the deal, one which will allow Johnson to return to the AFC North. Both selections are

On Monday, Steichen told reporters the Colts were “evaluating everything” before giving a

Chris Godwin‘s recovery process is underway, with his ankle surgery having recently taken place. His injury will sideline him for the remainder of the Buccaneers’ regular season, but he is leaving the door open to a playoff return. “I mean, I think that’s best-case scenario, right?” Godwin said when asked about

There are plenty of people out there not cutting Aaron Rodgers any slack after Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots. Shannon Sharpe is, very clearly, one of them. The NFL vet-turned TV personality didn’t hold back on ESPN’s “First Take” on Monday when he was asked about the New

Jordan Love may have avoided a serious injury during yesterday’s win over the Jaguars, but the Packers QB isn’t in the clear for Week 9. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero passes along that Love likely “avoided a long-term injury” in yesterday’s contest. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky notes that today’s tests didn’t show

Josh Uche is indeed on the move. The fifth-year edge rusher is being traded from the Patriots to the Chiefs, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Kansas City will send New England a 2026 sixth-round pick, Rapoport adds. That level of compensation comes as little surprise

Anthony Richardson threw 22 incompletions Sunday and took the rare step of asking out of a game due to fatigue. Viewed as a developmental player with a high ceiling, Richardson has not shown consistency since debuting in Week 1 of last season. The Colts saw the 2023 No. 4 overall

The New England Patriots traded Josh Uche to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Uche was traded to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick. While the Patriots rebuilding and trading off valuable assets might look good on the surface, the deal is a step back for New

Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a quiet debut with the Kansas City Chiefs but still showed he could be the game changer they need. Last week, K.C. acquired Hopkins in a trade with the Tennessee Titans. Thus, he had little time to learn the Chiefs’ playbook, finishing with two receptions

The Lions have won two games without Aidan Hutchinson, the most recent a dismantling of the Titans. Detroit holds the NFC’s best record and the tiebreaker over Minnesota by virtue of a narrow Week 7 win, but the team may well need another piece to help cover for losing Hutchinson,
