Long before Brock Purdy became one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, he was the last pick of the 2022 draft, just trying to make the San Francisco 49ers’ roster as the club’s QB3 behind 2021 first-round selection Trey Lance and veteran Jimmy Garoppolo. During the latest edition of

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ signing of Aaron Rodgers in June to be their starting quarterback could make rookie Will Howard a largely forgotten figure as it pertains to the upcoming season, since Mason Rudolph is currently on track to serve as Rodgers’ primary backup.  During the latest edition of his “Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger”

Happy 55th birthday to former NFL quarterback and two-time Pro Bowler Trent Green! Passing for over 4,500 yards is the new benchmark for a top tier quarterback having a good season in the modern day NFL. How many of the QBs to hit that milestone in a single season since

The Ravens return 19 of 22 starters from the team they fielded in Buffalo six months ago. This is mostly good luck, as the team avoided too many expiring contracts to impact players, but that luck shifts pretty hard in the other direction in 2025 with Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely,

At long last, the Magic 8 Ball is back. Last year, we used an online version of the classic toy to predict a bounceback season for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts … and incorrectly denied Philly the NFC East. Let’s see how it does in 2025. Will the Eagles repeat

At the offseason’s outset, we projected the edge rusher market — which had not moved too much aside from Nick Bosa‘s contract since T.J. Watt‘s 2021 extension — would take center stage due to the volume of marquee players entering contract years. The fireworks have not disappointed. The Raiders entered

Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in February, Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu warned that quarterback Patrick Mahomes would go “on a revenge tour” this coming fall.  During a Monday appearance on the FanDuel TV “Up & Adams” program, Mahomes poured some cold water

Could the Raiders entertain bringing back a former WR in a possible reunion? CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin believes Amari Cooper makes sense in a possible return to Las Vegas, saying “Cooper knows the franchise well” and “they’d use some of their excess salary cap space on a pass target.” Cooper

Courtland Sutton‘s extension talks certainly can include a point that the former John Elway draftee’s 1,081 receiving yards last season more than doubled the next-closest Broncos weapon. Although Denver was linked to Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka in Round 1, the team did not make a significant investment at the position

Throughout the spring and summer, outlets such as FanDuel Sportsbook have listed 40-year-old Joe Flacco as the betting favorite (-102 odds as of Tuesday afternoon) to win the competition for the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback job.

A Monday update indicated that star pass-rusher T.J.

The Commanders are pursuing a return to the nation’s capital, but the D.C. Council is unlikely to approve a $3.7 billion deal championed by Mayor Muriel Bowser before a July 15 deadline, according to Jenny Gathright of The Washington Post. In January, former President Joe Biden signed into law a

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is facing two charges after he was arrested over the weekend, and some new details about the alleged incident have surfaced.

The 2024 Dallas Cowboys fell to 3-5 on the campaign on the same day that quarterback Dak Prescott went down with what became a season-ending hamstring injury in Week 9. While speaking with reporters at his youth football camp in Texas on Tuesday, Prescott offered an encouraging update regarding his hamstring as he prepares

A hamstring injury limited Dak Prescott to eight games in 2024. Dallas’ quarterback managed to take part in spring practices, however, and he has continued to make progress in his recovery.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have moved past quarterback Kenny Pickett, but Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw hasn’t. During a recent podcast appearance, the four-time Super Bowl-winning former Steelers quarterback ripped the team’s handling of Pickett, the No. 20 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. “A first-rounder, got rid

David Ojabo entered the NFL with high expectations despite the Achilles tear he suffered shortly before being drafted. The Ravens edge rusher has not developed as hoped, however, and his ability to retain a roster spot this summer will be worth watching. During Michigan’s Pro Day, Ojabo suffered his torn Achilles.

The 2024 New York Giants fell to 2-10 on the season the same day that star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II went down with what became a season-ending elbow injury.  While Lawrence made just 12 starts for what became a 3-14 club, league executives, coaches and scouts surveyed by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler for a piece published

As The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen noted, the Miami Dolphins could undergo a franchise reset by parting ways with head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier if the club fails to secure a playoff victory in its fourth season under McDaniel. Meanwhile, Miami signed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a four-year, $212.4M deal

Last March, the Falcons’ decision to sign Kirk Cousins seemed to put to rest questions about their plans at the quarterback spot over the intermediate future. The following month, however, Atlanta selected Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the draft. It was reported in the immediate aftermath of that move Cousins was

The Pittsburgh Steelers made one of the biggest post-draft splashes of the offseason when they traded wide receiver George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round draft pick to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round selection and a 2027 fifth-rounder. During a Monday appearance on Fox Sports Radio, NFL insider Adam

Happy 29th birthday to Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Marlon Humphrey! Humphrey is a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time First Team All-NFL selection in his eight year career, snatching 19 interceptions in his career while forcing 15 fumbles (including a league-leading eight in 2020). He set a personal-best with six picks

In the spring of 2024, veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins didn’t deny that he may not have left the Minnesota Vikings to sign with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency had he known that Atlanta would select signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick of last year’s draft.  In comments shared during

Back in the summer of 2021, Pittsburgh Steelers star pass-rusher T.J. Watt completed a “hold-in” and participated in individual drills during training camp until he received his desired contract extension ahead of the start of that regular season.  Watt once again is looking for a pay raise this summer. During a

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is “not happy with where things are with an extension,” according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker).

Within a 10-month span, the Panthers had seen their owner throw a drink at a fan — amid a string of headlines involving the Carolina boss — and the team’s handpicked quarterback benched by Week 3. This came after the Panthers’ 2024 coaching search, due in part to David Tepper‘s

Cam Ward has not officially won the Titans’ starting quarterback gig yet, but it remains the expectation that will be the case this summer.

Wide receiver Chase Claypool was drafted with fairly high expectations in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft from Notre Dame. But after a breakout campaign in his rookie year that saw him catch 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns, Claypool has struggled both with consistency and

July 15 looms as the deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign a long-term deal. In the case of 2025, that is only applicable to the Chiefs and right guard Trey Smith. A trip to free agency appeared to be in store given the cumbersome nature of using the tag on

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes has contacted, perhaps, the greatest quarterback ever heading into this upcoming season. The Chiefs QB revealed he’s been talking to Tom Brady “a good amount” this offseason in a Monday interview with FanDuel’s “Up & Adams.” So, what did the future Hall of Famer

A jet ski accident suffered in the summer of 2023 has proven highly detrimental to Nyheim Hines‘ career. The veteran running back/returner is now seeking a return to the NFL, however. Hines suffered a major knee injury as a result of the accident, and it cost him the entire 2023

The Dolphins have, as expected, moved on from cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The trade which sent him to Pittsburgh also included the departure of tight end Jonnu Smith. Miami has already filled the TE vacancy by acquiring the unretired Darren Waller. As for the cornerback spot, however, it remains to be seen who

Things did not go according to plan for Bryce Huff in 2024. The high-priced free agent addition was present for only year with the Eagles, spending time in and out of the lineup before being among the team’s healthy scratches for the Super Bowl. In all, Huff managed just 2.5 sacks in

Early this morning, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal previewed some opinions of players who could have breakout seasons for the Browns in 2025.

We’ve heard it before; the Bengals do not typically give out third contracts to veterans. The exceptions they did make were on the defensive line, with players like Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins, but they just can’t seem to get across the finish line with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson.

The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans are teaming up to aid flood recovery efforts in their state.
