The Tyreek Hill-Noah Lyles race will not happen, after all, this year. The Olympic 100-meter champion and three-time 200-meter world champion said the event was slated to take place this coming weekend in Times Square, a setup that would have come not long after a boxing event in the same

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Interest in free agent safety Justin Simmons has started to build as teams wrap up mandatory minicamp and plan their summer roster moves.

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

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

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
