Market Value: 1-year, $4 million DeAndre Hopkins is the most recognizable name among this group of free agents, but he’s also in the sunset of his career and doesn’t present the same value he once did to an offense. At this juncture, Hopkins should be viewed as a mercenary hire

The Commanders kicked off the post-Super Bowl portion of their offseason by bringing back a defensive back. The team announced the signing of cornerback Bobby Price.

The Cowboys are finalizing a deal to hire former Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, NFL Media reports. Dorsey’s role on Brian Schottenheimer’s staff is yet to be determined.

Two years ago, an embarrassingly slick field took the edge off the Eagles’ pass rush in Super Bowl LVII. And that might have helped the Chiefs secure a championship. In Super Bowl LIX, the playing surface inside the Superdome was not an issue. And the Eagles took full advantage of

Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean finished fourth in defensive rookie of the year voting. He did it without an interception in the regular season. In the biggest game, on his birthday, DeJean made his first career NFL interception. DeJean ran 38 yards to the end zone with a Patrick Mahomes pass,

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce played a game to forget in Super Bowl LIX, but they nonetheless got themselves a place in NFL history in the process.

Next year’s Super Bowl will be played at the 49ers’ stadium and the club is surely hoping to be playing in it. But before that, San Francisco will need to negotiate a new contract with quarterback Brock Purdy. The 49ers aren’t shying away from that, as team owner Jed York

Saquon Barkley was clearly one of the most impactful free-agent signings ever throughout the 2024 season. He solidified that on Sunday by breaking Terrell Davis’ all-time records for most rushing and scrimmage yards across the regular and postseason. Barkley needed just 30 rushing yards to break the former record, and

The game has been decided, but the Chiefs have put up more points. Patrick Mahomes connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 7-yard touchdown and hit Justin Watson on the two-point conversion to cap a 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive.

It’s still an ugly loss, but the Chiefs have at least made it look a little better late in the fourth quarter with another touchdown and two-point conversion.

With the Chiefs in desperation mode in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIX, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception to Philadelphia’s C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Gardner-Johnson returned it for a 98-yard touchdown, but Jalen Carter had jumped offside on the play, so the touchdown was nullified. What wasn’t nullified

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was named the MVP of Super Bowl LIX, but he credited the defense for being the biggest reason for beating the Chiefs. Hurts said after the game that he has been impressed all season with the way his teammates on the other side of the ball

The Jets are in something of a sticky wicket where the 2025 draft is concerned. As mentioned, the No. 7 pick probably won’t be good enough for Ward or Sanders. A trade up means expending additional draft capital, and New York’s needs go beyond just the quarterback position. It’s still

We’ve just witnessed the Eagles destroy the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, but Kansas City’s two garbage time touchdowns prevented them from losing in one of the Top 10 blowouts in Super Bowl history. The largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history came after the 1989 season, when the

There will be no three-peat this year. A dominant performance by the Eagles defense crushed the Chiefs’ hopes of winning their third straight Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday night. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 12 first downs and Jalen Hurts accounted for three touchdown as the Eagles

In September, they’ll be hanging another banner in Philadelphia. And they’ll be hosting the opening Thursday night game of the 2025 season. The potential opponents include two of the teams they beat in the playoffs — and the defending No. 1 seed in the NFC. Philly’s 2026 home schedule consists

Jamie Squire/Getty Images For the second time in his career, Hurts rolled up to the biggest game of the year and turned in a magnificent individual performance.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the postgame podium as the Super Bowl MVP in 2023 and 2024, but he found himself in a very different spot after Sunday’s game. The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 to win Super Bowl LIX and Mahomes threw a pair of interceptions in the first

The Chiefs did not fare well during Sunday’s 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, which head coach Andy Reid acknowledged when speaking with the media after the game. “Today was a rough day,” Reid said. “Didn’t play well in any of the phases. Didn’t coach good enough

The Eagles didn’t need to dial up any exotic blitzes to confuse Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday night. They didn’t have to dial up any simple ones either. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio never needed to call a single blitz during the 40-22

It may have been tough sledding for Eagles running back Saquon Barkley in Super Bowl LIX. But getting to hold the Lombardi Trophy was the perfect cap to his first season with Philadelphia — and Barkley’s 28th birthday. “She looks prettier in person, I’ll tell you that,” Barkley said of

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni made a plea to offensive coordinator Kellen Moore after the 40-22 victory over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. “Let’s run this shit back, Kellen,” Sirianni said on the Fox broadcast. Instead, the Eagles will be searching for their fourth coordinator in four years with Moore

The Chiefs have had enough of the conspiracy theory that the NFL’s officials are colluding in their favor. They didn’t have much go their way Sunday, and one of the newest Chiefs, DeAndre Hopkins, pointed out the “touchy calls” that went against them in the 40-22 loss to the Eagles.

Add Eagles defensive end Josh Sweat to the list of Super Bowl defensive heroes who parlayed their performances in the biggest game of the season in to major paydays. In 2024, Sweat signed a one-year, $10 million contract to stay with the Eagles. Next month, he’ll be eligible for free

The Eagles turned in a remarkable defensive effort in Super Bowl LIX, pressuring Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes all game without ever blitzing.

The Eagles defense did what seemed impossible, frustrating Patrick Mahomes and shutting out the Chiefs until late in the third quarter. Josh Sweat, Cooper DeJean, Milton Williams and Zack Baun all were candidates for the MVP award. But Jalen Hurts plays the quarterback position, and he had a good game,

Sometimes, even a GOAT can have a bad day. For Patrick Mahomes, it doesn’t happen very often. Super Bowl LIX completes a handful of bad days for the Chiefs’ offense with Mahomes at the helm. Four prior eggs were laid. On Christmas Day in 2023, the Chiefs were stymied by

If we were ranking commercials on a “most unhinged” basis, everybody else would be playing for second place against this Pringles ad. In chronological order, we get Adam Brody noticing a dearth of Pringles at a party, at which point an empty can tells him to blow into it. It’s

Crazy things have happened in the NFL, but the Eagles are still in a dominant position midway through the third quarter. Jakel Elliott connected on a 29-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 27-0 lead, capping the club’s first possession of the second half. Philadelphia’s offense began at the

No one saw this coming, likely not even the most optimistic Eagles fan. Philadelphia dominated the first half, taking a 24-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Eagles sacked Patrick Mahomes three times, had a pick-six, an almost pick-six and held the Chiefs to 23 yards in the

Trailing 17-0 late in the first half of Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs had the Eagles on the ropes. And linebacker Nick Bolton let ‘em off the hook. After an incomplete pass that would have left the Eagles facing third and 26, Bolton was called for unnecessary roughness, giving Philly

The Chiefs didn’t put together a strong response after going down 7-0 with Jalen Hurts’ touchdown, going three-and-out. After surrendering the first touchdown of the game on a Brotherly Shove, the Chiefs started with the ball at their own 33-yard line. Nikko Remigio nearly broke off a long return, but

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is trying to become the first player to lead his team to three straight Super Bowl titles and he could also become the first to win three straight Super Bowl MVPs. Oddsmakers have made Mahomes the favorite to pull that off. Mahomes is +120 at most

Two years ago, the Eagles took full advantage of a rule change from 2006 allowing runners to be shoved from behind by teammates. After many complaints regarding the ensuing tush push play — which is more rugby than football — the rule remained. This week, Fox’s Mike Pereira suggested that

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reportedly hasn’t decided whether to play in 2025. Some within the Chiefs’ organization believe the decision has been made. From James Palmer, formerly of NFL Network and now with Underdog Fantasy and Bleacher Report, comes this tweet: “I’m told just like last year Travis Kelce

NFL games gather a live audience like nothing else. But not everything carrying The Shield on the show thrives in today’s world of ever-fracturing audiences.

According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Rodgers met with the Jets, who informed him that they plan to move in a different direction at quarterback. Glazer believes that Rodgers’ decision to discuss his future with the team indicates that he plans to play in 2025, despite rumblings that the 20-year

The Super Bowl always becomes the most-watched TV event of the year, by far. This year’s could end up being the most-watcher Super Bowl ever. Even with possible Chiefs fatigue and a rematch of the game played only two years ago. As noted by Drew Lerner of AwfulAnnouncing.com, the kicker

The Cowboys have found another member of Brian Schottenheimer’s first staff. According to multiple reports, the Cowboys will hire Junior Adams as their new wide receivers coach.

The 49ers have granted wide receiver Deebo Samuel and his agent, Tory Dandy, permission to find a trade partner, Samuel told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Samuel asked the 49ers to trade him during the players’ exit meetings after the season. “It was a hard conversation to have with Kyle [Shanahan]
