As recently as June 5, Brooke Cersosimo of the NFL’s website suggested that the Baltimore Ravens could take calls from interested teams regarding the services of tight end Mark Andrews before the 2025 season gets underway.  On Tuesday, Ravens reporter Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic shared that Andrews’ stock among

For an article published on Monday, The Athletic’s Joe Rexrode mentioned that Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward was “everything the Titans hoped for” throughout the spring and developed a reputation for “gathering teammates for early-morning sessions.”  On Tuesday, ESPN’s Turron Davenport suggested that Ward is already viewed by his

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

Happy birthday to former fifth-overall NFL Draft pick, two-time Pro Bowler and Miami Dolphins defensive end Bradley Chubb! Chubb missed the entire 2024-25 after tearing his ACL, meniscus and patellar tendons against the Baltimore Ravens on New Year’s Eve 2023, but participated in OTAs this offseason and expects to have

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. Primarily, the trade was attributed to finances, as the Steelers neither had the budget nor the willingness to extend the receiver (especially following the acquisition of high-priced WR D.K. 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. This will represent the 27-year-old’s seventh NFL stop (not including multiple stints with one team), and he’s managed to get into

A pair of recent late-round draft picks could work their way into the Raiders starting lineup. Tashan Reed of The Athletic predicts that fourth-round rookie wideout Dont’e Thornton Jr. will be a starter, and the writer recently noted that former seventh-round offensive lineman Thayer Munford could be an option at left

The Broncos could be looking to lock up one of their top pass rushers as soon as possible. Nick Kosmider of The Athletic says “it’s fair to assume talks will heat up” between the Broncos and Nik Bonitto as training camp approaches. Kosmider points directly to last offseason, when the

Former Dolphins offensive lineman Jesse Davis announced his retirement from the NFL in an Instagram post (via Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams). Davis put together an impressive career for an undrafted player, appearing in 95 games with 72 starts across his seven NFL seasons. He logged multiple starts at every

The Carolina Panthers locked running back Chuba Hubbard down for the foreseeable future when they signed him to a four-year, $33.2M contract extension this past November.  During a recent chat with Panthers reporter David Newton of ESPN, Hubbard revealed the major goal he has in mind heading into his second season of working

He’s since walked back the comments but continued to have problems off the field when police responded to a 911 call from Hill’s mother-in-law, accusing the star of being “very aggressive and impulsive” towards his wife and infant daughter. The 31-year-old pass-catcher led the league with 1,799 yards and 13

The Vikings did not move to acquire Jaire Alexander or Jalen Ramsey when they became available this spring despite the perception of a thin cornerback room. Minnesota parted ways with veteran Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin this offseason and only retained Byron Murphy from last year’s starting unit. The team then

Tim Benz of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is among observers who have suggested that Pittsburgh Steelers unsettled pass-rusher T.J.

Rasul Douglas is among the notable corners still unsigned at this point of the offseason. The ninth-year veteran’s next destination is unclear, but a return to the Packers should not be expected.

The Minnesota Vikings flirted with the idea of signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers months before he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in early June.  Minnesota is now moving forward with 2024 first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy atop the depth chart after he spent his rookie season recovering from a full meniscus repair he

The Cowboys’ offseason program came and went without a Micah Parsons extension agreement being reached. The threat of missed time (or at least non-participation) during training camp now exists, but the All-Pro is still targeting a deal being worked out before mid-July. “I’m pretty hopeful,” Parsons said about the timeline of an

Travis Hunter has yet to play a snap for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he’s already made NFL history. The second-overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft agreed to a four-year, $46.65 million contract with a $30.57 million signing bonus. The two-way weapon who won the 2025 Heisman Trophy also became

Aaron Rodgers did the Pittsburgh Steelers a favor when he agreed to a team-friendly contract to join the club. That said, Rodgers only put pen to paper on that deal in time to participate in some mandatory minicamp drills after he spent the bulk of the offseason program as a free-agent quarterback.

Following the Cleveland Browns’ mandatory minicamp that wrapped up on June 12, multiple reports indicated that Joe Flacco entered the team’s summer break as the favorite to be Cleveland’s Week 1 starting quarterback over Kenny Pickett, 2025 third-round draft pick Dillon Gabriel and 2025 fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders. Thus, some understandably

The free agent departures of Tre’von Moehrig and Nate Hobbs created notable vacancies in the secondary for Las Vegas. The team will have a number of new faces in place this year as a result, and training camp will see multiple battles for starting spots take place. During OTAs, free agent addition Eric Stokes and

Leading up to the opening night of the 2025 NFL Draft, numerous reporters and analysts linked the Pittsburgh Steelers with advertised top-tier quarterback prospects.  Thus, some were surprised that Pittsburgh didn’t grab a signal-caller during the player-selection process until the club chose Ohio State’s Will Howard in the sixth round

For 18 years, the Steelers enjoyed stability at the quarterback spot with Ben Roethlisberger in place. The Super Bowl winner’s retirement after the 2021 campaign came as no surprise at the time, but it left the team in need of a long-term successor. That still represents a notable vacancy beyond

Michael Mayer has not lived up to expectations early in his NFL career. The Raiders tight end was a trade target this earlier this offseason, but with no deal taking place he is set to remain in Vegas. During his rookie season, Mayer missed three contests and was limited to a

De’Von Achane remains atop the Dolphins’ running back depth chart entering 2025. After averaging 7.8 yards per carry as a rookie and nearly reaching 1,500 scrimmage yards last season, expectations will once again be high in his case.

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially have Travis Hunter under contract, and the two-way star has set a new NFL record with the deal. Hunter signed his rookie contract with the Jaguars on Sunday. The deal is worth $46.65M, which was predetermined by the rookie wage scale. What is unique about Hunter’s

Earlier this month, Travis Hunter and the Jaguars were not close to an agreement regarding his rookie contract. Team and player have now finalized the deal, however. The 2024 Heisman winner signed his four-year pact on Sunday, per a team announcement. Hunter will collect $46.65MM as this year’s second overall selection, and

When training camp begins next month, the Vikings will face plenty of questions at the cornerback spot. That position could see an addition late in the offseason. Byron Murphy – a key offseason priority for Minnesota this spring – is still in the fold for 2025 and beyond. He agreed

One week ago, Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals resumed talks on an extension. Without any new progress being made on that front, though, a number of issues are yet to be resolved. Finances – including, no doubt, guarantees – have proven to be a sticking point between team and player in this

The Commanders’ 2025 offseason has seen a number of changes made in the front seven.

Last year, we saw Cor’Dale Flott overcome Adoree’ Jackson for a starting role as an outside cornerback, playing across from fellow starter Deonte Banks for much of the season. Jackson departed and in walks Paulson Adebo on a three-year, $54MM contract. All of the sudden, Flott is pushed to a

After Jaire Alexander found a new home in Baltimore, the trade of Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey is reportedly “the next domino” expected to fall around NFL circles, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Adam Wells of Bleacher Report). While that sounds like we’re on the precipice of a decision, the

The Ravens recently made a big splash in free agency, signing All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year, $4MM contract. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Alexander wasn’t totally sold on the idea of going to Baltimore at first, but his in-person visit sold him on the Ravens. Fowler notes

There’s a newfound energy in Flowery Branch, and it starts under center. With second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. officially taking the reins in Atlanta, the Falcons enter the 2025 season with real expectations and real firepower. Veteran Kirk Cousins, now backing up Penix on a sizable contract, appears comfortable in

As the wait for the opening of training camps around the league begins, a number of high-profile situations remain unresolved. That will likely remain the case for several weeks, but one major free agent move defined the past few days. In case you missed any of the top developments from

Four of the Ravens’ stating offensive linemen from 2024 are set to return. One of those is Daniel Faalele, whose first full-time season as a guard came last year. The 25-year-old Australian struggled as a tackle, but a move inside produced an uptick in PFF grade. Pass protection in particular showed improvement,

Malachi Corley was in position to occupy at least a rotational role in the Jets’ during his rookie campaign. Instead, he proved to essentially be a non-factor. 2025 has seen the Jets bring in a regime other than the one which drafted Corley, a factor which often carries considerable weight in
