July 30th, 2025 at 8:58pm CST by Ely Allen Four Raiders remain from the Oakland days of the franchise. The longest-tenured of those four players is now set to stick around in Las Vegas for a few more years, at least. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Raiders are extending

The Green Bay Packers had a bit of a scarcity problem on their hands last year at the wide receiver position. That’s the risk you run when you have multiple talented players but no true hierarchy at a position. There’s never enough catches to go around, and the Packers found

After having some of the best injury luck in the league last year, the Ravens were tested in the opening days of camp. Yesterday’s practice ended when tight end Isaiah Likely rolled his ankle and needed to be carted off the field. Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, head coach

The Tennessee Titans can only go up from here. On Wednesday, ESPN Titans reporter Turron Davenport wrote about comments rookie quarterback Cam Ward made after a lackluster practice session, where the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 Draft took accountability for the offense’s “very mid” start to training camp.

Viewed as an upper-crust talent in the first-round mix this year, Jihaad Campbell fell to No. 31 largely because of injury concerns.

The Detroit Lions had substantial success under Ben Johnson, but the receiver corps likes the scheme that new offensive coordinator John Morton is cooking up.  Johnson is now with the Bears as their head coach. Per most reports coming out of Chicago, the offense is behind the defense in knowing

The extraordinarily rare four-man quarterback competition unfolding in Cleveland is ongoing, but adjustments are being made. Kenny Pickett is out with a hamstring injury, giving Joe Flacco a wider runway to reacquire the job. While Pickett recovers, Kevin Stefanski said (via ESPN.com’s Daniel Oyefusi) Flacco will take the bulk of

Jeff Wilson has spent the past his entire career in roughly the same scheme, rejoining ex-49ers OC Mike McDaniel after a 2022 deadline deal. After playing out his Dolphins contract, Wilson has lingered in free agency for four-plus months. The 49ers are back on the radar for their former UDFA

Following a brief holdout, pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson reported to the Cincinnati Bengals for training camp on Wednesday even though he remains in the final year of his existing contract.

An injury sustained in a car accident sidelined Jordan Whitehead for the Buccaneers’ final two games, and the team ended the safety’s second Tampa stint before a roster bonus was due. Whitehead’s rehab process, however, has wrapped months later. The veteran safety received full clearance recently, according to NFL.com’s Mike

The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2025 NFL season with as much attention on them as any team in the league. While that is nothing new for the storied franchise that owns six Super Bowl titles, the lack of a playoff win since the 2016 season and addition of four-time league

Following Terry McLaurin, Trey Hendrickson reported to training camp after a brief holdout. The Bengals can no longer levy nonwaivable $50K fines daily, but they will not see the disgruntled defensive end suit up for practice.

The Seattle Seahawks moved John Schneider to the top of their personnel pyramid in 2024, firing Pete Carroll and giving their GM final say.

The Dolphins’ cornerback situation just keeps getting worse. Last week, Artie Burns went down with a season-ending ACL tear.

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.

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.

Per

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.

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.
