The Cowboys’ long-running search for an upper-crust No. 2 wide receiver appears to have ended with the George Pickens trade. Although Dallas does not have assurances Pickens will be more than a one-year rental, the team has an intriguing CeeDee Lamb complementary piece for 2025. Dallas and Pittsburgh had begun

The Chicago Bears, who finished 5-12 and last in the NFC North in 2024, are poised to take a big step forward in 2025, but winning the offseason doesn’t always translate to the field. Chicago’s success this season will depend on the answers to these three questions.  Can Ben Johnson

After 10 Patriots seasons, Joe Cardona joined Jonathan Jones, Deatrich Wise and David Andrews as Super Bowl-era bastions to move on this offseason.

As the offseason has unfolded, Nick Chubb‘s time in Cleveland has increasingly looked as though it is coming to an end. Another indication emerged on Friday pointing to the Pro Bowl back needing to change teams shortly. “I wouldn’t rule anything out, but I would say it’s probably increasingly unlikely,” general manager Andrew

Running back Nick Chubb is one of the most beloved players among Cleveland Browns fans since the franchise returned to the NFL in 1999.  Nevertheless, Browns general manager Andrew Berry indicated during a Friday morning appearance on Cleveland sports radio station 92.3 The Fan that it is “probably increasingly unlikely”

Seven of the Colts’ nine draft picks are on the books. First-round tight end Tyler Warren is among the draftees who are officially under contract, the team announced on Friday.

Shortly after the Tennessee Titans selected Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi hinted that he wanted Ward to earn the Week 1 starting job in a competition with 2023 second-round pick Will Levis. During a Thursday appearance on “The Rich

George Pickens is in the final year of his contract, and his new team is unlikely to sign him to an extension at any point in the near future. The star wide receiver does not sound too concerned about that. Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday in

The Indianapolis Colts have gone four straight years without a playoff appearance, and owner Jim Irsay wants to see that change in 2025. It is fair to wonder if the team has made enough offseason moves to accomplish that goal. As Shane Steichen enters his third season as the head

The New York Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40M contract in free agency and then seemingly committed to him as their 2025 Week 1 starting quarterback when they didn’t select a QB during the NFL Draft.  For an article published on Thursday, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz suggested the Jets should’ve at least taken

The Los Angeles Chargers made the playoffs in their first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh but lost to the Houston Texans 32-12 in the AFC wild-card round.  The Bolts must address pivotal questions to make a deeper postseason run this upcoming season. Here are three heading into 2025: How

The Jets have signed first-round offensive tackle Armand Membou to a four-year rookie contract worth $31.9MM, per a team announcement. Like all first-round picks, the deal is fully-guaranteed and contains a fifth-year option for 2029.

If you didn’t watch the Carolina Panthers play football last season, you probably wouldn’t have known that former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney is still playing in the NFL.

The Raiders have signed No. 6 overall pick Ashton Jeanty to a fully-guaranteed four-year rookie contract worth $35.9MM, per a team announcement.

Clowney’s future in Carolina has been a talking point this offseason, with the team engaging in trade talks before the draft. No deal was worked out during the event, but the Panthers added a pair of edge-rushers on Day 2. As a result, Clowney’s tenure remained far from certain. Now,

Of course, the Hendrickson situation doesn’t have to end in a trade. The Bengals have a projected $85M in cap space for 2026 (per Spotrac), so they have enough flexibility to give the star defensive end the extension he desires.  After giving WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins a combined

For the fourth time in four years, former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Jadeveon Clowney is looking for a new home. The Carolina Panthers released the 11-year veteran after just one season in Charlotte, where he recorded 5.5 sacks in 14 games but was part of a defense that

Coming off the 2024 campaign – during which the Chargers were without Keenan Allen and Mike Williams – wide receiver was named as a position for the team to target this spring. Williams is back in the fold, and Los Angeles used a pair of draft picks on wideouts. While further moves could

To no surprise, the Giants were one of two teams which exited the opening night of this year’s draft with a quarterback, with the Titans being the other.

On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers placed 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, meaning the 21-year-old will miss the 2025 season.

The timing of Alex Singleton‘s ACL tear raised questions about his ability to rehab in time for the start of the 2025 campaign. The Broncos linebacker recently made it clear he still expects to be at full strength in time for Week 1, though. “I feel like I’m on schedule. It’s

By the night of April 24, NFL insiders and casual football fans understood that the Tennessee Titans were going to make Miami’s Cam Ward, the consensus best quarterback in his class, the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.  That didn’t stop New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen from

Blake Ferguson‘s five-year tenure in Miami has come to an end. The veteran long snapper was released by the Dolphins on Thursday, per a team announcement.

By trading up in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at pick No. 144, the Cleveland Browns unofficially sparked a four-way competition for their starting quarterback job.  For an article published on Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN touched upon why Sanders is an

New Jaguars general manager James Gladstone made one of the most impactful moves of the draft by trading up to the No. 2 slot and selecting Travis Hunter. At the time Jacksonville was slated to pick fifth overall, though, running back Ashton Jeanty was closely linked to the team.

As James Cook approaches the final year of his rookie contract, his future beyond 2025 remains a talking point. The Bills are confident he will be in place for at least next season, and a holdout this summer is not expected by the team at this time. “I know we’ve had people

Shortly after it was reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were trading wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of “The Pat McAfee Show” revealed that Pickens “didn’t request the trade.”  However, it seems Pickens isn’t losing any sleep about having a new football home while

It’s widely assumed the Pittsburgh Steelers traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys largely because Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin no longer wanted to deal with headaches caused by the wide receiver.  During a Wednesday appearance on the “Pro Football Talk Live” program, former Cowboys head coach and current NBC

According to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor and other in-the-know individuals, the Pittsburgh Steelers agreeing to trade wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday likely won’t “impact the Steelers’ recruitment of” quarterback and free agent Aaron Rodgers.  During a Wednesday appearance on Pittsburgh sports radio station 93.7 The Fan,
