After taking several visits, Terrion Arnold has found his new home. The cornerback is signing with the Seahawks, according to Jordan Schultz. It’ll be a one-year deal, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Arnold met with the organization this past weekend. The former first-round pick had been on the open market

Joe Burrow apparently arrived at Cincinnati Bengals training camp with less patience and a sharper tongue. That might help the Bengals, but it also says plenty about how tired their quarterback has become of watching seasons slip away. Ja’Marr Chase has nicknamed this version of his quarterback “Mean Joe.” Burrow has been more vocal

After months of public hemming and hawing, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell announced his starting quarterback on Tuesday.

Even with that being the case, there is still a path that makes the most sense for the Browns. And it probably isn’t Watson. The only logical reason for Watson to get the starting job, and the only logical reason for him to still be on the team, is because

AUG. 12: Head coach Kellen Moore confirmed Arnold visited the Saints, but the team did not have him conduct a workout (via Josh Alper of PFT). “Just collecting as much information as we can, having as many conversations with people who have spent a lot of time with him over

As of Wednesday morning, first-year Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken had not publicly revealed whether veteran Deshaun Watson or second-year pro Shedeur Sanders would get the start for Cleveland’s preseason opener at the Chicago Bears this coming Saturday. It turns out there may be a reason Monken has delayed that decision.  Has Shedeur Sanders been dealing with an injury? 

The Vikings split first-team quarterback reps between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy through the spring and well into training camp. No decision on a starter had been made entering Tuesday, but that is set to change. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Vikings will name Murray their QB1 for 2026. That will of course

The Los Angeles Rams can rest easy after learning star wide receiver Puka Nacua only suffered a minor injury in Tuesday’s joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys.  After practice, Rams head coach Sean McVay offered no update on Nacua’s status, sparking concern.

The NFL regular season has not started, yet several teams are already watching carefully constructed plans fall apart. Training camp is supposed to answer roster questions.

Although he is just one season into a four-year, $76.4MM contract, Cardinals outside linebacker Josh Sweat was the subject of trade rumors during the spring. Teams called the Cardinals about Sweat, but general manager Monti Ossenfort held off on moving him. Ossenfort insists that is not going to change. Asked

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins “pinky promised” to avoid injuries that will sideline him.

Monday saw the Chiefs continue with their training camp practice schedule. It also marked the return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy to the team.

Last week was a very good one for NFL running backs.  The first domino was Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, who signed a three-year, $75 million contract extension in Atlanta. Then the Colts gave Jonathan Taylor another two lucrative seasons in Indianapolis.  The climax came on Aug. 6, when the Detroit

Two years ago, Sam Darnold looked destined to become another cautionary tale. After stops with the Jets, Panthers and 49ers, few expected the former No. 3 overall pick to revive his career. Now, Darnold enters 2026 as the reigning Super Bowl champion after leading the Seahawks to their second Lombardi Trophy. His journey is a reminder

2025’s final regular-season game saw the Ravens play the Steelers for top spot in the AFC North. A win would have allowed Baltimore to reach the playoffs despite a 1-5 start to the year, but rookie kicker Tyler Loop’s missed field goal at the end of regulation resulted in the

NFL careers rarely end with a proper goodbye. Plenty of players never receive a farewell tour or even announce their retirement. The phone simply stops ringing.

Aaron Rodgers reiterated his plans to retire after the 2026 season over the weekend, saying that even a successful year in Pittsburgh would not change his mind. “No, this is it,” Rodgers insisted (via NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt) when asked if he would consider playing a potential 22nd season in
