Replay review of pass interference will not return to the NFL in 2020, according to competition committee chairman Rich McKay.

Chargers Offense To Feature More Than Two Running Backs

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Shane Steichen said that the offense will feature more than just two running backs in 2020, unlike in past seasons.

Jadeveon Clowney Unlikely To Re-Sign With Seattle

Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is open to re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks, but he'd have to take significantly less money than what the team previously offered him, according to a league source.

Jadeveon Clowney Open To A Return To Seattle

Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is working out in Houston during the coronavirus pandemic, said he remains open to re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Battled Multiple Injuries In 2019

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught only 10 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown and never meshed in head coach Doug Pederson's offense in his rookie season.

Marshawn Lynch In Talks To Return To Seattle

Free-agent running back Marshawn Lynch said that his agent, Doug Hendrickson, has been in talks with the Seattle Seahawks on a potential reunion.
