The 49ers have again made Fred Warner the NFL’s highest-paid off-ball linebacker. The franchise did this in 2021 as well. A team that has employed All-Pro NaVorro Bowman and Hall of Famer Patrick Willis over the past 15 years, the 49ers have spent on the high end to fortify this

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll provided a concerning update Wednesday on defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who has been sidelined because of a Jones fracture in his left foot since October 2024. “This has been a difficult recovery,” the first-year Raiders coach told the Las Vegas media. “He’s done everything

Several individuals associated with the Eagles, including owner Jeffrey Lurie, made arguments against banning the tush push during Wednesday’s owners meeting, according to Jordan

It does not appear the Colts are preparing position battles to replace Ryan Kelly and Will Fries. They have an obvious center successor lined up, in Tanor Bortolini, and their Fries successor is expected to also come from the 2024 draft class.

Buffalo gets a break in Week 10 against the Dolphins, a team they’ve beaten 13 times in their last 14 matchups, but face the NFC South champion Buccaneers in Week 11. Only two teams averaged more yards per game (399.5) and only three teams scored more points per game (29.5)

The league neglected to alter the condensed 10-minute overtime period, which might lead to more of the one thing no one wants: ties. Barring quick scoring strikes, it’s hard to imagine two teams going on multi-play touchdown drives in 10 minutes and having much time to decide the winner. By

The Packers’ effort to to ban the tush push has failed, according to The Athletic’s Diana Russini. Green Bay’s revised proposal to prohibit all instances of pushing on offense only received 22 votes, two shy of the 24 required to pass, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Eagles led the opposition

The Detroit Lions re-submitted a proposal at this week’s NFL owner’s meetings that could re-shape the way the playoffs look.  After initially proposing that playoff teams be seeded strictly based on record, potentially stripping division winners the right to host a playoff game if a wild-card team had a better

The Las Vegas Raiders haven’t had stability in their organization for many seasons. That’s led to poor performances on the field, including this past year when the Raiders finished 4-13. That didn’t sit well with Raiders owner Mark Davis, who named Pete Carroll the head coach after dismissing Antonio Pierce

The Titans are clearly committed to Cam Ward as their long-term quarterback, but head coach Brian Callahan isn’t rushing into naming his Week 1 starter.

Once again, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is using the bully pulpit to convince the team to sign his teammates.  In February, Burrow said he would revise his contract to create more cap space for the Bengals to help them re-sign wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Cincinnati then

The Tennessee Titans are so convinced that Cam Ward is a future franchise cornerstone that there was never any real chance of them drafting another player first overall or trading the pick. Now, NFL fans and rival teams are supposed to believe Ward is competing with Will Levis for a

After three seasons attempting to make an inherited quarterback work, the Joe Schoen–Brian Daboll regime will attempt to move their way off hot seats via the passer they drafted. Jaxson Dart is now in place after Daniel Jones did not come close to living up to his $40MM-per-year contract. Dart-Giants

It sounds like new Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has been on his best behavior so far. On May 7, the Pittsburgh Steelers dealt Pickens and a 2027 sixth-rounder to the Cowboys for a 2027 third and fifth-rounder. Maturity concerns were one key reason the Steelers traded the talented wideout.

The Patriots have been linked to showing interest in the player the Dolphins chose in Round 2, guard Jonah Savaiinaea, but after the Arizona product went off the board, multiple teams eyed the Patriots’ No. 38 choice. An episode of Forged in Foxborough details a Bears offer for No. 38; the

Jalen Ramsey is still a member of the Dolphins, but a trade remains the expectation in that case. Moving on from the All-Pro will create a notable cornerback vacancy, and to no surprise a few free agent options are on the team’s radar. The Dolphins have made contact with Asante Samuel Jr., Barry

Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel have only been teammates since the Cleveland Browns acquired both quarterbacks during the 2025 NFL Draft in late April.  It seems they have already begun building somewhat of a bond as they prepare to compete with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett for reps and in-game

Circle the date: Sept. 7 at New England Patriots (Week 1) | This offseason, the Raiders hired new head coach Pete Carroll, a Super Bowl champion, to turn around the franchise after a 4-13 season. He could face an immediate test in Week 1.  The Patriots also went 4-13 in 2024,

It was speculated earlier this offseason that the San Francisco 49ers could trade Brock Purdy to a quarterback-needy team instead of extending him and name backup Mac Jones as their starting signal-caller for at least the 2025 season.  However, other clubs weren’t interested in matching San Francisco’s possible asking price for Purdy

The Packers have been noncommittal about going into the 2025 season with Jaire Alexander as their top cornerback, but the offseason is still young. Heck, it’s not even officially summer yet. Noncommittal means he could come back, and it’s worth noting that the Packers didn’t do a ton to address

It’s not a stretch to say that Trevor Lawrence hasn’t yet become the elite quarterback many thought the Jacksonville Jaguars would have at this stage of his career back when Jacksonville made him the first pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.  On Monday, Lawrence spoke with reporters about working with
