A severe injury ended Zack Moss‘ 2024 season, and the Bengals are moving on ahead of a 2025 comeback bid. They released the veteran running back Wednesday.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took the NFL by storm as a rookie.  The 2024 second overall pick entered the league with high expectations, but nobody could have predicted how quickly he would become one of the best players in football. Daniels took a Commanders team in disarray and instantly

The Dolphins’ cornerback situation just keeps getting worse. Last week, Artie Burns went down with a season-ending ACL tear. Today, head coach Mike McDaniel announced that fourth-year cornerback Kader Kohou suffered the same injury in Saturday’s practice, per ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques. Kohou will undergo surgery and is expected to spend

The Indianapolis Colts wish they had made a different decision in 2023.  The Colts selected Richardson with the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft after the dual-threat quarterback had an incredible third season at Florida. He threw for 2,549 yards and 17 touchdowns and added 654 yards and nine

The New England Patriots offense isn’t humming early in training camp after the return of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

Kohou, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent, had blossomed into one of the league’s most dependable slot corners throughout his first three seasons.  Per Pro Football Focus data, he took roughly 64 percent of his snaps in the slot a season ago. Overall, he allowed 42 receptions

Second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels keeps the Washington Commanders’ Super Bowl window open heading into the 2025 season.  In a story published Tuesday, ESPN analytics expert Aaron Schatz ranked the Commanders No. 3 in talent under 25. Last season, they were No. 18. Daniels is a big reason for the improvement. 

With a new NFL season comes another contract dispute between Jerry Jones and one of the Dallas Cowboys‘ star players. In 2019, it was running back Ezekiel Elliott. Then there was quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in 2024, and now it’s defensive end Micah Parsons in 2025.

The progression of rookie RB Ashton Jeanty in training camp —especially the past two days — is opening the eyes of head coach Pete Carroll. To say Carroll is excited by having Jeanty on his team is an understatement, given the hype since he was drafted out of Boise State.

The Dallas Cowboys remain one of the most popular franchises in sports despite their recent lack of success, but longtime analyst Michael Wilbon thinks it is time for ESPN to focus elsewhere.

The Baltimore Ravens were expected to come into the 2025 season with one of the better one-two punches at tight end in the league, but that plan has hit a bump in the road. It’s not a catastrophic bump and both the player and the Ravens are likely to recover,

There have been a couple of different theories floated about why the Las Vegas Raiders made the shocking decision to cut star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, but head coach Pete Carroll has no interest in sharing the real motive.

Shortly after the Cleveland Browns traded up in the fifth round of the 2025 draft to take Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with pick No. 144, multiple members of the NFL community strongly suggested that Browns owner Jimmy Haslam essentially forced Sanders on general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski. The fact that

The 2024 offseason expanded the $30M-per-year wide receiver club to six members. D.K. Metcalf, Ja’Marr Chase and Garrett Wilson have taken it to nine this year. Terry McLaurin is undoubtedly pushing to bump that number to 10, after seeing 2019 Day 2 classmates Metcalf and A.J. Brown land among that

Even as a new regime took over, the Jets completed lucrative extensions for Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner this month. Gardner’s came at a market-setting rate. The team is committed to the duo as pillars for the Aaron Glenn-Darren Mougey foundation. The Jets’ 5-12 2024 season notwithstanding, the team has

While the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders have garnered a lot of attention lately, there is one NFC team that has quietly been flying under the radar. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a one-score game to the Lions in the divisional round in 2023 and followed that up

Known as a retention-heavy team, the Buccaneers handed both Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean second contracts. They shipped Davis’ deal to the Lions last year, building around Dean. But the younger cornerback has been unable to stay on the field since signing his second Tampa Bay deal in 2023. The

Prior to last season, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz ranked the Philadelphia Eagles 29th in terms of quality players under the age of 25. This year, the Eagles did much better, thanks to increased opportunities for their young defenders. How was Schatz to know rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell (24) and Cooper DeJean

With Courtland Sutton now attached to a lucrative new deal, the Broncos front office will shift focus to other veterans. While the likes of Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen have been attached to potential Denver extensions, there’s at least one veteran who will likely play out the 2025 campaign as

The Dallas Cowboys are claiming to be the victim of Trevon Diggs’ decision to rehab on his own rather than join the team for OTAs at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The Cowboys promptly fined Diggs $500K for missing OTAs this spring. The star cornerback was

Since Christian Wilkins was cut by the Raiders last week, we’ve heard a handful of explanations for the sudden divorce.

Trey Hendrickson’s showdown with the Bengals took another turn this evening, as the star pass rusher is transforming his holdout into a hold-in.

Quarterback Arch Manning has attempted just 95 passes in two seasons with the Texas Longhorns but is already being linked to NFL teams. Last week, Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd said Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam loves the 21-year-old QB. The host added he may use him to entice former Alabama

Tristan Wirfs is expected to miss early-season time due to an injury suffered in 2024. Todd Bowles had said at minicamp Wirfs’ knee brace was precautionary, and the standout tackle was to be ready for training camp.

What would be a good nickname for Jacksonville Jaguars rookie cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter?  The second pick of the 2025 NFL Draft already has one in mind. He drew inspiration from a mythical creature. “It’s the unicorn,” the former Colorado Buffaloes star told CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco Tuesday.  That’s not

Martin Emerson did not finish practice for the Browns on Tuesday, being carted off, and it does not look like the young cornerback will be ready to return anytime soon. An MRI will be conducted to determine the damage of an Achilles injury Emerson sustained, but NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo and

The New York Jets essentially bought a lottery ticket regarding their quarterback situation when they signed Justin Fields to a  two-year, $40M deal with $30M guaranteed in March.

The Cowboys’ pattern of delaying big-ticket extensions is on display through the Micah Parsons talks, and the sides are not believed to be progressing. These negotiations also may not be animosity-free. While Dallas took considerable heat for waiting on the CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott extensions — the latter not

Pockets of New York Giants fans likely feared the worst when they learned that second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers exited Tuesday’s training-camp practice with an apparent shoulder injury.  NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo later reported that Nabers “appears to be OK.” On Tuesday afternoon, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox

It remains to be seen when Trevon Diggs will be available to the Cowboys in 2025. Positive strides have been made in his recovery, though, and the sixth-year corner does not anticipate a long stretch of missed games to begin the campaign. Diggs has yet to receive clearance as he works

Will Hernandez saw his 2024 campaign come to an end in Week 5. The veteran guard is now in position to continue his career, however.

Nick Folk is back in place with the Jets. The veteran kicker signed on Tuesday, head coach Aaron Glenn announced. Today’s move comes after Folk took part in a free agent visit (as noted by Brian Costello of the New York Post). The 40-year-old’s meeting with the team has resulted in an

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health concerns are once again hovering over the organization ahead of the regular season.  During a recent appearance on NFL Network, Tagovailoa made somewhat of a promise to the Dolphins about what he will and won’t do during games in 2025.  “Me not putting myself
