The Washington Commanders gave their coaching staff a glimpse of what could be if the front office’s negotiations with star wide receiver Terry McLaurin result in a trade.

(He played for the coach from 2006-20.)

The Patriots’ offensive line is starting to take shape, and it could end up leading to a relatively surprising cut. Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald recently observed that rookie third-round pick Jared Wilson appears to be penciled in as New England’s starting left guard. ESPN’s Mike Reiss echoed Kyed’s

Playing quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the preseason could be far too risky for the Pittsburgh Steelers.  The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Steelers in their first preseason game Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.

Tracy Walker has been searching for a gig since getting cut from the 49ers practice squad last September. If he has any chance of playing in the NFL again, it would have to wait until late November. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, the free agent safety has

How does a team move on from a crushing Super Bowl loss? According to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, forget about it immediately.  The Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans last season. While it was disappointing for the TE, Kelce said

Za’Darius Smith remains unsigned, but the veteran pass rusher has already made it clear that he hopes to continue his stay in Detroit.

ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick gave Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a reality check on Wednesday.

As he had done at his other career stops, Jim Harbaugh orchestrated a turnaround season in his Chargers debut. The Bolts returned to the playoffs and transformed their defense. While a more run-focused attack minimized Justin Herbert, the star quarterback operated efficiently despite limited weaponry. The team still has questions

While quarterbacks get most of the spotlight, Las Vegas Raiders running back and former Boise State star Ashton Jeanty has garnered a lot of attention dating back to his record-breaking days in college. Last season alone, Jeanty, the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, had the second-most rushing

The Commanders seemingly want to spend the bulk of their season with two new tackles protecting Jayden Daniels. Weeks after trading for Laremy Tunsil, Washington drafted Josh Conerly Jr. With the left tackle job unavailable, the first-round pick is competing at the other tackle spo Conerly is vying to usurp

Despite being the Cleveland Browns’ last choice among their active quarterbacks, rookie Shedeur Sanders is set to start Friday’s preseason opener at the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile, Browns’ backup, Kenny Pickett, and 2025 third-round draft pick Dillon Gabriel are working to recover from hamstring injuries they suffered during training-camp practices.  During

As the Cowboys receive more attention for a prolonged negotiation with a standout player, not much is coming out of Detroit, where another edge-rushing domino sits.

A delicate balancing act is required for the four quarterbacks on the New York Giants’ preseason roster. Veteran Russell Wilson will be the Giants’ Week 1 starter against the Washington Commanders.

The Jaguars‘ Jourdan Lewis signing covers their slot cornerback position, moving Darnell Savage into a pure safety role.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones raised eyebrows when he admitted on Tuesday that he “absolutely” couldn’t say for sure that Micah Parsons will feature in Dallas’ Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4.  The pass-rusher in the final year of his rookie contract requested a

There is a clear hierarchy among quarterbacks in the NFL. Four QBs stand above the rest as not only the faces of their franchise but the faces of football.  Those quarterbacks are the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, the Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and the

Set to return the same starting offensive line from 2024, the Bills are in good shape at these positions. They have Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown locked up long term, and right guard O’Cyrus Torrence‘s rookie deal runs through 2026. The group’s other two starters, however, are in contract years.

Earlier this year, Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu warned that quarterback Patrick Mahomes would go “on a revenge tour” this coming fall following the club’s 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. During a recent chat with Jarrett Bell of USA Today, Mahomes addressed his mindset after the Chiefs
