Cornerback represented a key need for the Commanders entering the draft.

Delivering a monster age-30 season, Henry is now signed through 2027. This deal certainly puts the former Titans star on track to finish his career as a Raven.

The Bengals have developed an earned reputation as slow starters during Zac Taylor‘s time at the helm. This pattern has been a significant impediment to the team, one that began 0-3 last year and stood 0-2 to start the 2022 and ’23 seasons. With the team now having paid both

Even before the Cleveland Browns added rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to their quarterback room via the 2025 NFL Draft, team reporters insisted that either veteran Joe Flacco or 2022 first-round choice Kenny Pickett will emerge this summer as Cleveland’s Week 1 starter.  During a Tuesday appearance on “The
