While reports from Monday night made it known that the Pittsburgh Steelers and safety DeShon Elliott had agreed to a two-year contract extension, that was no indication as of Tuesday that the Steelers were all that close to working things out with unsettled pass-rusher T.J.

Long before veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard linked back up with quarterback Baker Mayfield as members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the two grew close when they were teammates at the University of Oklahoma.  Shepard recently spoke with Ira Kaufman of the JoeBucsFan website about how the Buccaneers helped Mayfield

Last week, the Rams waived Derion Kendrick. That move appeared to set the fourth-year cornerback up for a move to a new team late in free agency, but he will instead remain in Los Angeles. Kendrick has been re-signed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes. The 24-year-old missed all of last season after

The Washington Commanders became one of the more positive surprises of the 2024 season as they completed a trip to the NFC Championship Game.  Washington then made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason when the club acquired star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick

Travis Hunter made no secret about his intentions of playing both ways in the NFL after doing so during his decorated college career. The Heisman winner remains on track to do just that during his rookie campaign with the Jaguars. Shortly after Jacksonville moved up to No. 2 to select Hunter,

The Raiders moved quickly in making a free agent addition earlier this month. Shortly after Germaine Pratt was released by the Bengals, the veteran linebacker agreed to a one-year Vegas deal. For the most part, free agency around the NFL has quieted down with the break between spring practices and training camp

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn recently discussed what he’s seen from wide receiver Deebo Samuel during offseason workouts, and his comments could raise expectations for the Commanders this fall. Per the team’s official website, Quinn gushed about Samuel’s speed. “Somewhere along the way, I’d forgotten … how fast he

Four-time Pro Bowler Marlon Humphrey and 2024 first-round pick Nate Wiggins are slated to occupy starting roles at the cornerback spot for the Ravens this season.

The Chargers’ edge rush group will be different in 2025 with Joey Bosa no longer in place. Khalil Mack is still in the fold, though, given his decision to re-sign on a one-year, $18MM deal. That pact is guaranteed in full and ensures Mack will spend a fourth season in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old

Almost immediately after the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a 28-14 wild-card playoff loss to the rival Baltimore Ravens this past January, Pittsburgh fans and some national NFL reporters openly wondered if the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin era could come to an end as soon as next offseason.  During a Monday appearance on

On Monday, NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated seemed to pour cold water over previous takes about the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation.  He suggested that veteran Joe Flacco will enter the summer as the leader of a competition for the Week 1 starting job that also features Kenny Pickett, 2025 third-round

Despite collecting at least 500 yards from scrimmage in each of his three professional seasons, Jaylen Warren has yet to earn a start in the NFL. That will likely change in 2025, and the Steelers running back is eyeing the largest workload of his career. Warren told reporters that he

It’s uncertain how far Shemar Stewart will take his standoff with the Bengals organization, but Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com believes it’s highly unlikely the rookie skips the 2025 campaign in an attempt to reenter the 2026 draft. This does represent a possible solution for Stewart if he refuses to give

Discussions about whether or not Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles could find himself in jeopardy of losing his job seemingly pop up every summer before the start of a season.  That trend will continue through August 2025, but Buccaneers insider Ira Kaufman of the JoeBucsFan website indicated during

The Indianapolis Colts might need to make the playoffs in 2025 in order for head coach Shane Steichen to keep his job, and they are going to have to surpass their projected win total in order to get there. The Colts finished 8-9 last season and fell short of the

Every offseason brings a new wave of speculation surrounding Mike Tomlin‘s future in Pittsburgh. While his eventual exit from the organization doesn’t appear to be imminent, it sounds like the two sides also don’t have a definitive future game plan. During an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, NFL Network’s

Interest in free agent safety Justin Simmons has started to build as teams wrap up mandatory minicamp and plan their summer roster moves. The Eagles and the Panthers are on a “shortlist” to land the nine-year veteran, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Sports Illustrated’s Patrick McAvoy). Both teams could use

Fans and analysts have assumed ever since the Cleveland Browns added rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to their quarterback room via the 2025 draft that the club could trade or cut veteran Joe Flacco or 2022 first-round selection Kenny Pickett so that the Browns can have both Sanders and Gabriel

Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown was carted off the field during the team’s mandatory minicamp last Wednesday, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

In the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots grabbed promising players on offense, defense and special teams, so Mike Vrabel will have many new weapons to tinker with in his first season as head coach in Foxborough.  Players chosen in the later rounds probably will have lesser roles this

One reason some analysts and former players criticized quarterback Aaron Rodgers for waiting until early June to officially join the Pittsburgh Steelers was that such individuals felt Rodgers should’ve spent the offseason program learning the system run by Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Rodgers has never before played directly under

The rehab process for Brandon Aiyuk continues. As the 49ers’ top receiver recovers from an ACL tear, the wait is ongoing with respect to when he will be cleared to return. That could take place early in the 2025 season, but Aiyuk’s absence and the decision to trade away Deebo Samuel have left some

Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher Micah Parsons clearly wants a contract extension while in the final year of his rookie deal, but he nevertheless reported on time to attend Dallas’ mandatory minicamp last week.  First-year Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer touched upon his relationship with Parsons during a recent chat with NFL insider Albert

Free-agency signing Daniel Jones worked as the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback during their mandatory minicamp last week as 2024 Week 1 starter Anthony Richardson dealt with discomfort in his throwing shoulder that popped up earlier this spring.  For an article published on Monday, NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated

Spring practices did not settle any position battles around the NFL, of course. In the case of the Steelers, though, a pair of young defenders are in line for first-team action on a permanent basis pending on how training camp shakes out.

Individuals within the Tennessee Titans, such as general manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Brian Callahan, have tried their best to convince outsiders they’re holding a legitimate competition for the team’s starting quarterback job between rookie Cam Ward and 2023 second-round draft pick Will Levis. For an article published on Monday, NFL insider Albert Breer

It remains to be seen if Jonnu Smith will play for the Dolphins in 2025. If the veteran tight end does stay in Miami, it may well be on a new deal. Smith’s preference is to stay in place for the coming campaign, which doubles as the final year of his current

The New York Jets made Zach Wilson the second overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft but unceremoniously shipped the quarterback to the Denver Broncos after his third NFL season.  Now with the Miami Dolphins, Wilson recently opened up about the positives he has taken from his Jets tenure. “That’s

Shortly after quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed a team-friendly contract to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in time to participate in their three-day mandatory minicamp last week, rookie signal-caller Will Howard noted that Rodgers is “super down-to-earth and not at all what you would expect.”  During the latest edition of the “Kaboly + Mack”

Jaire Alexander has drawn immediate interest following his Packers release. He is joined by Jalen Ramsey as a high-profile cornerback available late in the offseason, but in both cases the Panthers should not be considered a landing spot.

Willie Snead hasn’t seen much success in the NFL since his departure from Baltimore following the 2020 season.

After an injury placed him

So far, Allen Lazard‘s career has been tied in lockstep with new Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard spent his first five years in Green Bay catching passes from Rodgers. Then, in anticipation of a trade that would send Rodgers to the Jets, Lazard headed to New York as a free
