Defensive end Maxx Crosby isn’t heading to the East Coast after all, having reportedly failed a requisite physical ahead of what was to be his official signing with the Baltimore Ravens later this week. The timing of this void is interesting as a report by ESPN states that Crosby’s physical was to be conducted once […]
It’s a good thing that the Rams appear to have everything set for an official acquisition and extension for Trent McDuffie on Wednesday because the Raiders dropped a bombshell announcement on Tuesday: The Baltimore Ravens have “backed out” of their agreement to trade two first round picks for Maxx Crosby. The news has left the […]
Update: Crosby’s agent, CJ LaBoy, has released the following statement: Three days after sending two first-round picks to the Raiders in a blockbuster trade for Maxx Crosby, the Ravens are backing out of the deal. The Ravens will now get the No. 14 overall pick in April’s draft and their first-round pick in 2027 back. […]
The NFL’s “legal tampering period” before the league year begins started yesterday. Early in the day, the news broke that the Miami Dolphins and Malik Willis had agreed to a 3-year/67.5 million deal to become the team’s new starter at quarterback. With that, I asked the following question in last evening’s post: What’s your opinion […]
Julian Alvarez was quizzed about his future after Atletico’s Champions League win over Tottenham on Tuesday night and insists he’s happy with Diego Simeone’s side. The Argentine was on target in a 5-2 win over Spurs in the first leg of their last 16 tie and was asked about Barcelona after the final whistle. “What […]
The San Francisco 49ers are re-signing linebacker Garret Wallow to a one-year deal, per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. The 49ers claimed Wallow off waivers in December. Wallow earning another contract speaks to how much he impressed in a couple of months with the Niners. The deal is likely for the veteran’s minimum. Wallow ended up […]
There will not be a contract dispute between the Pittsburgh Steelers and their star defensive tackle this year. The Steelers and Cam Heyward have agreed to a new extension, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It’s a two-year deal worth $32.25 million. Dulac reported that the entire first year is fully guaranteed. The […]
Back in 2023, the Atlanta Falcons looked at their hated rivals and saw something they liked: A pair of defenders. The team signed away Kaden Elliss and David Onyemata from the Saints that year, adding a pair of stout options in the middle of the defense, and got multiple years of quality play out of […]
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Chicago Bears plan to sign veteran defensive tackle Kentavius Street. Street (6’2”, 315) was originally a fourth-round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2018. He signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints in 2022, which is where he crossed paths with current Bears defensive […]
On the list of 2026 unrestricted free agents (UFA), we find Patrik Laine. Selected 2nd overall in 2016, he was lauded as one of the best prospects to land in the NHL and in Winnipeg. In 2021, Laine was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets with former teammate Jack Roslovic to get a fresh start after an unhappy tenure with the Winnipeg Jets. The Blue Jackets sent Pierre-Luc Dubois and a 2022 third-round pick to the Jets, retaining part of his salary. He'd find himself at anoth...
The NFL’s legal tampering period started yesterday at noon, and there was plenty of action. That action didn’t get to the Washington Commanders until reports came out that they had agreed to a 2-year extension with LT Laremy Tunsil. The first free agent “signing” from another team was a letdown if you were expecting the […]
The Miami Dolphins are finally free of their big QB mistake, choosing to go for a youth movement with Malik Willis. The Jets, meanwhile, can't say the same.
The NFL’s legal tampering period started at noon today, and the Washington Commanders have reportedly agreed to terms on a 3-year deal, $24.75 million with Kansas City Chiefs LB Leo Chenal. The Commanders are looking for upgrades at almost every position on the roster after a disappointing 5-12 season, and the defense has been the […]
Teddy is back! After the Detroit Lions lost backup quarterback Kyle Allen to free agency—signing a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills—the Lions are bringing back veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. As first reported by NFL Network, Bridgewater is re-signing with the Lions after spending a year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As of this publishing, […]
The Philadelphia Eagles finally did something in free agency! The team and Tariq Woolen (AKA Riq Woolen) have agreed to a one-year contract worth “up to” $15 million, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. Fresh off a Super Bowl win with the Seattle Seahawks, Woolen immediately fills the need for a starting […]
The Dallas Cowboys are suddenly very full at defensive tackle. Consider the events of the last year. Prior to free agency beginning in 2025, the Cowboys struck a long-term deal with Osa Odighizuwa. Then the Micah Parsons situation, to put matters lightly, unfolded, and consumed all energy surrounding the team. Parsons was finally traded a […]
Barca’s Round of 16 tie took them back to the North East of England and a date with Newcastle United, a team that they’d already beaten on Matchday 1 of this season’s league stage, and against whom they’d won four of the previous five fixtures. Hansi Flick’s side arrived on the back of a four-game […]
The legal tampering window opens in just an hour. There’s no smoke yet, but we do expect the Panthers to start rubbing sticks together as soon as they can. That means agreeing to terms, restructuring contracts, and altogether shoring up roster holes ahead of next month’s NFL Draft. Keep your eyes here for all the […]
The Detroit Lions are bringing back some valuable secondary depth. As first reported by Ian Rapoport, the Lions are re-signing veteran corner Rock Ya-Sin. The deal is reportedly for one year and worth $4 million. Last year, the Lions signed Ya-Sin to a veteran minimum deal ($1.17 million) contract, and the 29-year-old cornerback outplayed that […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry entered the offseason by declaring a plan to make a “heavy investment” into an offense that put little fear into the hearts of defenses across the league. While the key parts of that investment are still to come in the 2026 NFL Draft, Berry has been true to his […]
The Buffalo Bills have reportedly “reached out” about defensive end Trey Hendrickson, per a source shared with Ryan Talbot. Often viewed as one of the premiere pass rushers in today’s NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler hasn’t found early success in free agency, despite interest from quite a few teams. Hendrickson, now 31, is looking for […]
“Love it when a good plan comes together.“ Whether the plan is good or not, Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry made it clear at the NFL combine that the team had a plan regarding the offensive line, referencing how the Chicago Bears remade theirs the previous offseason. Most believe the Browns not only needed to […]
The market for former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen evidently was not a hot one. While he isn’t going to re-sign with the Seahawks, he’s not even signing a multi-year contract elsewhere. Nevertheless, Woolen is going to another strong defense in the Philadelphia Eagles. Given the Eagles had a hard time replacing their Super Bowl […]
We haven’t even reached free agency officially opening yet and the Dallas Cowboys are making moves. We know that they tried to land DE Maxx Crosby through a trade, but lost out to a higher bid. Instead of immediately pivoting to Trey Hendrickson like many predicted, they worked a trade for Green Bay Packers EDGE […]
Cam Lewis is heading to the Windy City, agreeing to a two-year contract that will have him join the Chicago Bears beginning with the 2026 NFL season, per a report by Jeremy Fowler. The now former Buffalo Bills defensive back became a mainstay as a depth defender and special teams contributor for former head coach […]
