Titans Want To Keep Ryan Tannehill Around Long-Term

The Tennessee Titans are focused on signing impending free-agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a long-term contract extension.

Tannehill flopped in his six seasons with Miami, but he came on in relief of Marcus Mariota […]

Patriots, Tom Brady No Closer To Agreement

The New England Patriots and impending free-agent quarterback Tom Brady are no closer to an agreement just six days before he'll officially hit the open market.

Patrick Mahomes Not In A Rush To Sign Extension

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes "isn't going to do a deal early just because the Chiefs want to." Waiting until the Collective Bargaining Agreement is settled makes the most sense for Mahomes. Whenever he gets paid, Mahomes will become the highest-paid signal-caller in league history. After all, he's only 24 years old and has […]

Robert Griffin III, Gabe Jackson Involved In Trade Talks

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III and Oakland Raiders offensive guard Gabe Jackson have both been discussed in trade talks with the start of the new league year approaching, according to sources.

Trent Williams Seeking $20 Million Per Season

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams is seeking a contract extension that will pay him $20 million per season, according to ESPN.com's John Keim. It's a really high asking price since he'll turn 32 this summer and didn't play at all in 2019, but some teams might be willing to trade for him if they […]

Cowboys Make New Offer To Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys have sent a new contract proposal to quarterback Dak Prescott with the franchise-tag deadline coming this Thursday, according to a source.

The New York Jets are among the teams pursuing Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams, according to multiple league sources. The Redskins gave Williams permission to seek a trade on Thursday.

Raiders In The Mix For Marcus Mariota

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the mix for Tennessee Titans impending free-agent quarterback Marcus Mariota. Mariota was general manager Mike Mayock's top-ranked quarterback in 2015. Derek Carr is the incumbent for the Raiders, and even though 2019 was one of Carr's better seasons, he still struggles with the deep ball and Las Vegas may […]

Trent Williams Has Permission To Seek A Trade

The Washington Redskins gave left tackle Trent Williams permission to seek a trade on Thursday, and teams have already started calling. The Redskins may not be interested in giving Williams the long-term deal that he wants, but they won't just give him away in a trade. And if Williams is dealt to a new team, […]

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni was impressed with quarterback Jacoby Brissett's pocket awareness and ability to extend plays outside the pocket in 2019, but he'd like to see him improve on scanning the field and getting the ball out of his hands faster.

QB Hot Seat: Projecting 2020 for Jameis Winston, Derek Carr, Cam Newton

The offseason is entering an empty period before free agency mania begins soon. All we can do now is predict how players will do in fantasy for 2020 before everything changes.
