The 2024 NFL season became one to forget for the Titans, who matched a franchise low with 14 losses. Despite fielding a defense that allowed the second-fewest yards in the NFL last year, the Titans permitted the third-most points to opposing offenses. The 460 points allowed was the second-most for

Godwin returned on a three-year, $66MM deal, marking the second time the Bucs paid their longtime No. 2 wide receiver coming off a major injury. Godwin sustained

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams came into the NFL with little fanfare, getting drafted in the fifth-round of the 2022 draft out of Notre Dame. But since taking over as the starting running back for the Rams in 2023, he’s become one of the most productive ball carriers

The Chiefs cycled through four left tackle starters last season, seeing their final O-line form — one with Joe Thuney kicking out to LT — shredded in Super Bowl LIX. Big changes came on the left side of Kansas City’s front this offseason, with two LT options added and Thuney

While it’s only one preseason game, it’s still a pretty big opportunity for Richardson to make a good first impression in a game setting.  This is one of the few open quarterback competitions in the NFL this preseason, and given the Colts’ investment in Richardson, it is imperative that they

Jordan Addison‘s DUI case recently wrapped, and the Vikings wide receiver has since learned his NFL punishment. The NFL handed Addison a three-game suspension, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

The Terry McLaurin situation remains one to watch as the countdown to Week 1 continues. A trade request emerged last week, but to no surprise the Commanders have no intention of dealing away their No. 1 receiver. McLaurin is owed a total of $19.4MM for 2025, the final year of

Without fail, every single NFL season sees at least one team come out of nowhere. The “worst to first” story has been an ongoing tale in the NFL for years.  And after an active offseason, several teams could be candidates to be that surprise story for 2025.  New England Patriots

A Monday report indicated that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel has left much to be desired with his training-camp performances.  Later in the day, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about how Gabriel has handled “the ups and downs” the 2025 third-round draft pick has experienced this summer. 

After being out of the NFL in 2024, Anthony Barr will not attempt a comeback this season. The veteran linebacker has retired, NFL insider Jordan Schultz notes.

Veteran Joe Flacco received criticism from members of the NFL community after he suggested this past spring he was more concerned with winning the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback job than with mentoring 2022 first-round draft pick Kenny Pickett, 2025 third-round selection Dillon Gabriel and 2025 fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders.  During a

The New Orleans Saints’ three-way quarterback competition is narrowing before the team’s first preseason contest against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Talking head Colin Cowherd clearly doesn’t believe that Brian Schottenheimer is the right choice for the Dallas Cowboys as head coach. That’s a debatable take, of course. Schottenheimer is the son of Marty Schottenheimer, who was a great NFL head coach from the late 80s to the 2000s. Brian has

The Cleveland Browns have had one of the most crowded quarterback rooms in the NFL since the draft, and they have added yet another notable player to the mix at the position. This content was brought to you by: Yardbarker: NFL

Having future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady on your side is an advantage Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith is not taking lightly. Smith had some battles with Brady during their NFL careers, but it wasn’t long lived. Brady finished with a 4-1 advantage over Smith, but that is

The Green Bay Packers will go as far as quarterback Jordan Love will take them in 2025, and beyond. If he’s a top-10 quarterback, and it’s worth noting that he’s shown that potential in the past, the Packers will have opened yet another Super Bowl “window.” If he’s underwhelming, though

On Monday, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane responded to James Cook’s decision not to practice with the team on Sunday.  Cook, who had been practicing with the Bills through training camp until that point amid contract negotiations, told ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg that he made a “business” decision not to practice

Wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy. Will the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie earn more hardware in 2025?  No player has won Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year. New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen thinks Hunter could be the first. “I do think it’s

The cornerback position is going to have to step up this season if the Green Bay Packers want to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender. They let go of All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander. To be fair to the Packers, he could never stay healthy. Still, losing even the thought of
