Zay Jones Not A Lock To Make Team

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones was given starter snaps immediately after the team traded for him in the middle of last season. However, Jones will just be fighting to make the final roster this summer after the team drafted Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards at the position. They also added Nelson Agholor […]

Willie Gay Jr. Will Have Opportunity To Make Big Impact

Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is high on rookie linebacker Willie Gay Jr. and would love to see him displace Anthony Hitchens or Damien Wilson in the starting lineup in 2020. Gay was selected with the 63rd overall pick in the second round in this year's draft, and his speed is what can […]

Mecole Hardman Has A Chance To Make Bigger Impact

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has a chance to see more time on the field in his second season in 2020 after Demarcus Robinson played almost 300 more snaps than Hardman in 2019. Hardman, just 22 years old, had 26 catches on 41 targets for 538 yards (20.7 yards per catch) and six […]

Mike Vrabel Hasn't Talked With Jadeveon Clowney

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that he has not talked to defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who remains the best available pass-rusher on the open market. The coronavirus pandemic hasn't helped the injury-prone Clowney's cause this offseason, and he's forced to lower his contract demands. With only the Titans and Seahawks making offers to […]

The National Football League on Wednesday extended team's virtual offseason programs another few weeks through May 29.

Mike Pouncey Cleared To Play

Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey (neck) said he has been cleared to play by the doctors that performed his surgery. "I feel great," Pouncey said.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) has been studying other NFL receivers to see how he can raise his game while rehabbing from left shoulder surgery for the second straight year.

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway has been looking for an adequate replacement under center since Peyton Manning retired after bringing a third Super Bowl title to the city of Denver.

Falcons To Bring In Competition For Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons currently have 89 players on their roster, one short of the NFL's maximum for offseason programs, and the plan looks to be for the Falcons to fill the opening with a kicker in order to add some competition for Younghoe Koo. "We're still definitely considering adding a kicker into that spot," head […]

Jace Sternberger The Favorite To Start At Tight End

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger is the favorite to replace Jimmy Graham as the team's pass-catching tight end in 2020.

Chase Claypool Could Have Big Role In Rookie Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers love rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool and have compared his blocking to former Steeler great Hines Ward, which means that Claypool could have every chance to start in 2020, possibly over James Washington in Week 1. Behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Washington, Claypool and Diontae Johnson are all expected to rotate snaps this season. […]

Kareem Hunt Could See Snaps In Slot

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will likely play more than any of the team's options as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, including snaps from the slot. Head coach Kevin Stefanski prefers to run more two-tight end sets over four-wideout formations, which will be good news for both […]

Jason Peters Thinks He Can Play Into His 40s

Free-agent left tackle Jason Peters, 38, recently told friends that if Tom Brady can play into his 40s, that he can as well. The Philadelphia Eagles remain in contact with Peters, and the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Denver Broncos are lurking in the background. Peters is feeling good and has sent workout videos […]

Bengals Could Run A Lot Of Four-Receiver Sets

The Cincinnati Bengals depth at wide receiver and head coach Zac Taylor's de-emphasis on the tight end position could mean that the team will use a lot of four-wide receiver sets in 2020. John Ross is likely the team's fourth wideout despite standing out at times in 2019, and Auden Tate will likely be the […]

Willie Snead Likely To See Diminished Role

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV will probably see a diminished role in the offense this season, in the opinion of NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal. Second-year wideouts Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin should be the starters on the outside, but third-rounder Devin Duvernay could add a speedier element to the slot than Snead. Snead is […]

Isaiah Simmons To Focus On One Role

Arizona Cardinals first-round pick Isaiah Simmons played five positions at Clemson, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury wants to see how Simmons will do at just one position in the NFL. The Cardinals think "the sky is the limit" if the eighth overall pick in the draft can focus all of his efforts on learning just […]

Noah Igbinoghene Expected To Man The Slot

Miami Dolphins cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, who was one of the team's three first-round picks, is expected to defend the slot in his rookie season. Miami's offense may still struggle in 2020, but their defense, especially the secondary, has been vastly upgraded. Igbinoghene will be sandwiched by Xavien Howard and Byron Jones in the secondary. This […]

Robert Hunt Could Start At Right Tackle

Miami Dolphins rookie offensive lineman Robert Hunt, taken early in the second round, could wind up starting right away at right tackle. The Dolphins selected Austin Jackson in this year's draft with the idea of him starting immediately at left tackle, so Miami could have rookies at both left and right tackle to protect either […]

A.J. Epenesa Could Make Trent Murphy Expendable

Buffalo Bills rookie defensive end A.J. Epenesa, who was drafted in the second round, could have a short learning curve in the NFL and might wind up splitting snaps immediately in a rotation with Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison on Buffalo's defensive line. Epenesa's presence makes defensive end Trent Murphy a potential cut or trade […]

Stephen Hauschka To Compete With Tyler Bass

Buffalo Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka will be in a kicking competition with sixth-round rookie Tyler Bass this summer. Any tie in the competition will likely go to Bass. Hauschka, 35 in June, has spent the last three seasons in Buffalo. He's made exactly 22 of his 28 field-goal attempts (78.6 percent) in each of the […]

Zack Moss Could Be Goal-Line Option

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Zack Moss is more of a power-running back compared to current backfield leader Devin Singletary. Both players have the capability of handling every down and situation and Singletary makes plenty of defenders miss after initial contact. Moss might be the more likely goal-line option in his rookie season, in the […]

Eagles Interested In Carlos Hyde

The Philadelphia Eagles remain in the market for a running back to pair with Miles Sanders, Corey Clement and Boston Scott, and sources are saying that running back Carlos Hyde "is a guy that they're targeting."

Titans Didn't Try To Re-Sign Logan Ryan

Free-agent cornerback Logan Ryan said that the Tennessee Titans never offered him a contract to return in free agency after he spent the last three years turning around the team's secondary. The 29-year-old was told that the Titans would "monitor the market" but that he could probably get more on the open market than what […]
