Almost immediately after Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers revealed on Tuesday that he is “pretty sure” he will retire from playing following the 2025 season, some predicted that the Steelers will almost certainly select a top-tier quarterback prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft.  However, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor noted that

Russell Wilson‘s free agency didn’t feature a long list of suitors, but the QB still had a handful of options during the early stages of the offseason. Ultimately, the veteran landed with the Giants, and he said the presence of their top receiver had a major influence on his decision.

There’s still no end in sight to the Bengals/Shemar Stewart standoff.

Last month, we learned an independent arbitrator concluded that NFL owners (and the league office) did not collude in an effort to reduce contract guarantees, especially in regards to quarterback contracts.

Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson entered the New York Giants’ summer break comfortably atop the depth chart ahead of rookie Jaxson Dart, backup Jameis Winston and fourth-choice option Tommy DeVito.  That said, three-time Super Bowl champion and current NFL analyst Mark Schlereth believes that Giants head coach Brian Daboll should take

The Bills have one perimeter corner spot accounted for in the form of Christian Benford. He received a multi-year extension this offseason, something which was the case one year ago for slot man Taron Johnson. Benford and Johnson will be key figures on defense once again in 2025, but it remains to

A report from this past spring revealed that former New York Jets teammates Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Garrett Wilson “never saw eye-to-eye” in 2024 when the club finished with a 5-12 record.  In an article published Tuesday, The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt expanded on what went wrong between Rodgers and

The New York Jets essentially bought a lottery ticket regarding their quarterback situation when they signed 26-year-old Justin Fields to a two-year, $40M contract that included $30M guaranteed early into free agency.  For a piece published on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic detailed how first-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn

Some members of the NFL community previously suggested that Pittsburgh Steelers players “would feel some type of way” about quarterback Aaron Rodgers skipping the bulk of springtime workouts. Nevertheless, Rodgers agreed to a team-friendly contract to join the Steelers shortly ahead of their three-day mandatory minicamp that wrapped up on June 12.

When George Pickens was dealt to the Cowboys last month, reporters cited a number of reasons for the move.

Metcalf). We

One minor move to pass along: Pittsburgh Steelers The Steelers are adding a veteran long snapper to their roster in Tucker Addington, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.
