Ravens Decline Patrick Queen's Fifth-Year Option

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen was a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, meaning the team had the option to extend his rookie contract for one more season. The team declined that option today, meaning Queen will likely hit free agency at the start of the 2024 offseason. Baltimore traded for former Bears linebacker […]

Jerick McKinnon Expected Back In Kansas City

Free-agent running back Jerick McKinnon is expected to re-sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to general manager Brett Veach. While nothing is certain for now, Veach alluded to the possibility of bringing McKinnon back during a media availability session. McKinnon served as the primary pass-catching back for the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs squad last year. […]

Broncos Pick Up Jerry Jeudy's Fifth-Year Option

The Denver Broncos picked up wide receiver Jerry Jeudy's fifth-year option on Monday, according to sources. It's not a big surprise. The Broncos received plenty of interest from others teams want to trade for him this offseason, but Jeudy remains a big part of Denver's future despite underwhelming so far in his three NFL seasons […]

Irv Smith Jr. Entrenched As Starter At Tight End

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. looks entrenched as the team's starting tight end for 2023. Drew Sample is a capable backup, but The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. thinks two more potential contributors should be added. Re-signing Mitchell Wilcox is an option. Smith has teased with his potential before, but he'll need to stay […]

Chase Brown Needs To Work On His Pass Protection

The Cincinnati Bengals took running back Chase Brown out of Illinois in the fifth round at pick No. 163 overall on Saturday. He projects more as a ball-carrying first- and second-down back than a third-down back you'd expect to complement Joe Mixon. "He'd be an effective pass-catcher," offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. "He's still a […]

Charlie Jones Could Have Big Role Early On

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones, who was taken in the fourth round at No. 131 overall on Saturday, could have an immediate impact on special teams in the return game. Jones was the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Year in 2021 for Iowa and has two return touchdowns in his career. […]

Shi Smith Could Be On The Roster Bubble

The Carolina Panthers traded top wideout DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears in order to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to take quarterback Bryce Young. Nobody can match Moore's individual production, but Carolina's receiver group in 2023 is collectively deeper than last year. Shi Smith, a third-year receiver who started six […]

Matt Corral Not Happy?

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Corral, last year's third-round pick, fired off a post on Instagram not long after the team took Bryce Young first overall in the first round last Thursday night with a quote that included not staying "in a place where no one sees your value." General manager Scott Fitterer said Corral showed […]

Bryce Young Will Be Eased Into Starting Role

The Carolina Panthers took quarterback Bryce Young with the first overall pick in last week's NFL draft, but he'll be eased into the starting role this summer. When the team takes the field for their first full-squad organized team activities later this month, quarterback Andy Dalton will take the first-team repetitions. "He'll have to earn […]

Jaguars Decline K'Lavon Chaisson's Fifth-Year Option

The Jacksonville Jaguars declined the fifth-year option for edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson on Monday, according to a source. Chaisson now enters a contract year in 2023 with an opportunity to cash in on the open market next offseason with a big season. He played in just nine games (zero starts) for Jacksonville in 2022 due […]

Bills Sign Latavius Murray To One-Year Deal

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent running back Latavius Murray to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. Murray will stay in the AFC in 2023 for his 10th NFL season after spending time with the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos last year. He joined Denver for 12 games in 2022 after playing in just one […]

Patrick Queen Might Be Trade Candidate

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen could be a potential trade candidate, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. It might be insane to think that the Ravens would trade the former first round pick. However, the Ravens have been dancing around the idea of picking up Queen's fifth-year option. The stud linebacker is going to need […]

Adrian Amos Could Return To Packers

Free-agent safety Adrian Amos might be back with the Green Bay Packers soon. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters they aren't closing the door on Amos returning to the team. The Packers have failed to address the safety position with Rudy Ford and Darnell Savage at the top of the depth chart. Amos has […]

Irv Smith Jr. Expected To Be Starter

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. is expected to be the primary option at tight end for this offense heading into next season. It was a bit surprising to see the Bengals pass on drafting a tight end during the most recent NFL Draft. Hayden Hurst left for the Carolina Panthers in free agency. […]

Chad Ryland Could Win Kicking Job

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland appears to have a legitimate shot at winning the starting job in training camp. The Pats selected Ryland in the fourth-round of the most recent NFL Draft. The Maryland product landed 19-of-23 field goals last season, while only missing one extra point attempt. It's worth noting that the Patriots […]

Bengals Committed To Joe Mixon

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is expected to remain the workhorse back for the team heading into next season. Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Mixon's future is with the Bengals. This comes after the Bengals drafted Chase Brown in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The Illinois product appears to be […]

Austin Corbett Not Expected To Be Ready For Season

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich expects offensive guard Austin Corbett (knee) to miss time to start the 2023 regular season this fall. It's not a huge surprise after Corbett suffered a torn ACL in the regular season finale and had surgery to fix his knee in January. It's not idea for the Panthers' offensive […]

Trey Lance Could Open Season As No. 3 On QB Depth Chart

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance could be the team's No. 3 QB when the 2023 season starts behind Brock Purdy (elbow) and Sam Darnold. It's why the Niners have considered trading the former No. 3 overall pick this offseason. Nothing is imminent right now, but there's a better […]

Nathaniel Dell Likely To Play In Slot

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nathaniel Dell will likely play in the slot in his first year in the NFL in 2023. Because of his size (5-foot-8, 165 pounds), most scouts project the 23-year-old pass-catcher to stay on the inside at the next level after Houston selected him in the third round over the weekend. […]

John Metchie III A Full Participant In Phase 1 Of Offseason Program

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said that wide receiver John Metchie III (illness) was a full participant in Phase 1 of the team's offseason program. Metchie didn't play at all last year due to Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, but he's trending in the right direction to get back on the field for the 2023 regular […]

Will Levis To Begin As Titans' No. 3 Quarterback

The Tennessee Titans traded up eight spots to take Kentucky quarterback Will Levis at No. 33 overall in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday, but the bold move up to get him guarantees him nothing in his rookie season behind Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis. "Ryan will be the starting quarterback on […]

Anthony Richardson Will Start In 2023

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said that quarterback Anthony Richardson will start in his rookie season in 2023. Irsay also said that even if the team was picking first overall in this year's draft, Richardson likely would have been their choice. It's high praise for the physical freak who started just one season at the […]

Packers Working On Fifth-Year Option Talks With Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said he's still working on the fifth-year option talks with quarterback Jordan Love. The Packers may be looking for some salary cap relief from Love in 2023 and 2024. Both sides have until Tuesday to get it done. Now that future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers is […]

Cowboys Could Re-Sign Ezekiel Elliott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't ruling out the possibility of re-signing running back Ezekiel Elliott. "The ship hasn't sailed there. We haven't made a decision at all. As far as our interest in Zeke, nothing we did today changes that. I haven't ruled out Zeke," Jones said. The Cowboys continue to keep the door […]

Adam Trautman Traded To Broncos

The Denver Broncos acquired tight end Adam Trautman from the New Orleans Saints on Saturday. Denver sent pick No. 196 to the Saints in return for Trautman and a seventh-round pick. Trautman will now reunite with head coach Sean Payton, who was part of the brain trust that used a third-round pick on the former […]

Stetson Bennett Lands With Sean McVay In Los Angeles

University of Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett was rumored to potentially go undrafted, but the Los Angeles Rams drafted the two-time National Champion with the 128th pick (fourth round) in the 2023 NFL Draft. Bennett has pedestrian athleticism and will turn 26-year-olds in his rookie season, so he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than Matthew […]

Bears Add Receiver Help In Cincinnati's Tyler Scott

The Chicago Bears drafted University of Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott with the 133rd pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Chicago added DJ Moore in the trade package for the Carolina Panthers to move up to the No. 1 overall pick, but the rest of the wideout room consists of Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool, and […]

Charlie Jones Lands In Cincinnati In Late Fourth Round

Purdue University wide receiver Charlie Jones was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 29th pick of the 4th round in the 2023 NFL Draft. Jones posted 1,361 yards and 12 touchdowns on 110 receptions in his lone year at Purdue. Jones posted solid numbers in the speed and agility drills at the 2023 NFL […]

D'Andre Swift Traded To Eagles

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for draft pick compensation. The 24-year-old back was rumored to be on the trade block after Detroit picked Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the No. 12 overall pick. Swift lands in a crowded backfield with Rashaad Penny and Kenneth Gainwell, but […]
