Today’s draft pick signings: Detroit Lions Kansas City Chiefs The Lions continue to chip away at their draft class, with only their first-round pick (DT Tyleik Williams) and second-round pick (G Tate Ratledge) remaining unsigned. The Lions clearly have high hopes for the latest signing, as the team used the

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. As ESPN’s Turron Davenport writes, Ward evenly split reps with Will Levis as the Titans opened Phase 2 of their offseason activities. Callahan acknowledged that

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

It was somewhat surprising when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon instead of a quarterback with the 21st overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.  Per Josh Carney of Steelers Depot, Harmon admitted during the latest edition of the “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward” podcast that

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.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been adamant that the team needs to take care of its star players contractually this offseason. That stance has not changed even though it has brought one of his teammates into a public dispute with the organization. Burrow gave his full support to Bengals

In his short time with the Las Vegas Raiders, quarterback Geno Smith likes what he sees from new coordinator Chip Kelly’s offense. The Raiders are continuing voluntary organized team activities for the week of May 19. In a story by Ted Nguyen published in The Athletic on Tuesday, Smith cited the

Circle the date: Sept. 5 vs. Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Week 1) | To win their first AFC West title since the 2009 season, the Chargers must beat the Chiefs, something they’ve struggled to do recently. L.A. last beat Kansas City in a road game in September 2021. 

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

There appears to be growing momentum for some sort of tush push ban in the NFL, and one of the Philadelphia Eagles’ standout offensive linemen appears to be bracing himself for it. Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata appears to be at peace with the prospect of a ban on 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,

Shemar Stewart sat out the Bengals’ rookie minicamp as a result of the fact he has yet to sign his initial NFL contract. The structure of the pact was at the heart of the issue, and that is still the case. Stewart has attended meetings during voluntary offseason work, but Kelsey

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

One year remains on Kyren Williams‘ rookie contract, but an extension could be worked out to ensure he does not reach the market next spring. Talks have already taken place between the Rams and their lead running back’s camp, and he appears to be confident a long-term pact will be in

Whether or not the Pittsburgh Steelers or Dallas Cowboys “won” the trade involving Pittsburgh sending mercurial wide receiver George Pickens to Dallas earlier in May is a storyline that’s bound to hover over both clubs up through at least January 2026.  During a Monday appearance on CBS Sports HQ, former

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

Before making his Bears debut, Joe Thuney has a new deal in hand. The All-Pro guard agreed to terms on a two-year extension, his agent announced on Tuesday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports this pact is worth $35MM and brings Thuney’s scheduled earnings up to $51MM for over the next three

The Philadelphia Eagles have hired a front-office executive who was responsible for one of the biggest NFL trades of the last several seasons. Former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is returning to the Eagles in a senior scouting role, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Monday.

A lot has changed since then, namely Henry, who rushed for 1,921 yards and a league-high 16 touchdowns for the Ravens last season. Jackson also threw for a career-high 4,172 yards to help Baltimore lead the league with 424.9 yards per game. Next up are the AFC East champion Bills

Some members of the NFL community believe that the New Orleans Saints could reach out to the Cleveland Browns regarding a trade for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco or former Pittsburgh Steelers starter Kenny Pickett after Derek Carr retired due to reasons related to a significant shoulder injury. On Monday, NFL

Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is an important piece on the Las Vegas Raiders defense, but an injury ended his season early in 2024. It appears Wilkins’ comeback is taking longer than expected, and that is bad news for the franchise. As The Athletic’s Tashan Reed reported on Monday, Wilkins is

Talks with Fred Warner have indeed resulted in an extension agreement. The 49ers have come to terms with the All-Pro linebacker on another lucrative deal.

The Green Bay Packers officially have their 2025 first-round pick under contract, and that has the potential to create somewhat of an awkward dynamic in the locker room.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni will look to keep adding to his impressive resume as the team gave him a multi-year contract extension on Monday.  According to ESPN, the contract details weren’t disclosed, but it’s safe to assume Sirianni cashed in on leading the Eagles to their second Super

The Browns have signed rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders to a four-year rookie deal, per a team announcement. Sanders, the 144th overall selection in last month’s draft, will earn $4.6MM on his first NFL contract, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, including a $447,380 signing bonus. Like all fifth-round picks, he did

Based on the rate other positional contracts have exploded, San Francisco significantly benefitted from a league wide devaluation of linebackers. Smith set the market at $20M in January 2023, so it’s a bit surprising for Warner to net only $1M more. The 2018 third-round pick (No. 70 overall) is coming off

The Packers have officially submitted their revised rule change to ban the ‘tush push,’ per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. It includes expanded language that is expected to garner more support around the league after their initial proposal was tabled last month. If approved, Rule 12, Section 1, Article 4 of

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence smiled when discussing rookie cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter at his Monday news conference. “Got a lot of juice, like he can run all day,” Lawrence said of Hunter on the first day of OTAs. “A lot of energy.

Superstar running back Derrick Henry has been in the NFL ever since the Tennessee Titans selected him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He’s put a ton of tough miles on his body, and he’ll turn 32 toward the end of the 2025 NFL season. The Baltimore

The Packers have not complete a rookie deal for a first-round wide receiver in 23 years, but as outgoing president Mark Murphy reminded ahead of the team’s Round 1 move in April, one was coming. That draft choice is now under contract. Matthew Golden agreed to terms on his rookie

Jimmy Haslam‘s admission on the 2022 Deshaun Watson trade could certainly be interpreted as the Browns closing the book on an expensive failure, and the team is now holding what appears to be a four-man derby for the starting job.

Deviating from their usual extension timelines, the 49ers now have George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Fred Warner signed with nearly two May weeks remaining. This certainly differs from how the Kyle Shanahan–John Lynch regime has handled high-profile negotiations in the past. The most notable of these extensions certainly went to

Aaron Donald was at the peak of his game when he decided to retire following the 2023 season, which is why many have wondered if the former Los Angeles Rams star will get the itch to make a comeback. It sounds like there is almost no chance of that happening.

Since the Browns used a selection during the second and third days of the draft on a quarterback, questions have lingered about how they will sort out the position in 2025. Plenty of time remains for things to change on that front, but a few early indications have emerged. Rookies Dillon
