Giants Considering Moving Back From No. 4 Overall?

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is interested in moving back from fourth overall in the first round of this month's draft, but it's hard to say how "serious" he is without knowing if the team has had any offers. Because of teams desperate to land their QB of the future, the Giants are […]

LeSean McCoy Wants To Play For A Contender

Free-agent running back LeSean McCoy said that, "I want to go to a team that's a winning franchise."

Stephen Gostkowski Doesn't Plan To Retire

The New England Patriots released kicker Stephen Gostkowski last month after four Pro Bowl selections and two first-team All-Pro selections.

Brandon Scherff Working On Long-Term Extension

Washington Redskins Pro Bowl guard Brandon Scherff, who already signed his franchise tender, is working toward a long-term extension with the team.

Free-agent defensive end Everson Griffen, who took a leave of absence from the Vikings in 2018 to deal with mental-health issues, is in a good place mentally now and said he'd "never say never" on a possible return to Minnesota despite saying goodbye to the team on his social media last month.

Steelers Unlikely To Pursue Jameis Winston

The Pittsburgh Steelers are unlikely to pursue free-agent quarterback Jameis Winston as a backup for Ben Roethlisberger in 2020. The Steelers could probably use an upgrade over either Mason Rudolph or Devlin Hodges behind Big Ben, but they also have former first-round pick Paxton Lynch on roster. Winston led the league with 5,109 passing yards […]

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (hip) doctors "have been very clear that Tua's health is fine. There's no recurrence that's going to happen here."

Jadeveon Clowney Considering Short-Term Deals

Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is considering short-term deals after he's encountered a very cold market in free agency.

The Browns have […]

Cam Newton Willing To Wait For A Deal

Free-agent quarterback Cam Newton is willing to wait to pick a team, possibly until after the draft, in order to make sure the fit is right, according to a source close to him.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is excited about the possibilities for tight end Gerald Everett in 2020, and the team wants to get him more involved in the offense. Everett started the year hot but got hurt in Week 11, which allowed Tyler Higbee to go off in the final five games of […]

Bills Think Devin Singletary Can Be A Workhorse

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is at the top of the depth chart with Frank Gore gone, and general manager Brandon Beane thinks that Singletary can be the team's workhorse in the backfield if needed.

The Detroit Lions, who have the No. 3 overall pick in this month's draft, have had discussions with teams about potentially moving back from their slot, according to sources.

South Carolina wide receiver Bryan Edwards (foot), who fractured the fifth metatarsal before the NFL Combine, had his walking boot removed and is moving around well, according to sources.

He's scheduled to make around $18 million in 2020 on the franchise tag, but we may not get to see him until […]

Desmond King A Trade Candidate?

There's a chance that the Los Angeles Chargers look to trade cornerback Desmond King. King is seemingly a man without a position now that the Bolts signed Chris Harris Jr. to defend the slot in the middle of the field in 2020. Casey Hayward and Michael Davis can work on the outside, so it remains […]

Chargers High On Justin Jackson

The Los Angeles Chargers remain "very high on" running back Justin Jackson.

Arrow Pointing Upward For Drew Sample

The Cincinnati Bengals have high expectations for tight end Drew Sample to take a "significant jump" in his second year with the team, especially with Tyler Eifert no longer in town.

Nyheim Hines Could Be More Involved In Offense

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is expected to get "plenty more action" in the offense this season, in the opinion of The Athletic's Zak Keefer. And that could translate into much more fantasy success with new quarterback Philip Rivers under center, a veteran signal-caller who isn't afraid to dump the ball off to his […]

Redskins Leaning Chase Young At No. 2 Overall

Washington Redskins head coach Ron Rivera made it sound as though the team is leaning heavily toward selecting Ohio State defensive end Chase Young with the second overall pick in this month's draft.

Redskins Excited About Logan Thomas

Washington Redskins head coach Ron Rivera said that tight ends coach Pete Hoerner is really excited about tight end Logan Thomas because of his smarts, savvy and athletic ability.

Eagles Attempted To Trade Alshon Jeffery Last Year

The Philadelphia Eagles tried to trade wide receiver Alshon Jeffery during the 2019 season, just after the team guaranteed Jeffery's salary for the 2020 season.
