Bengals Veteran Emerging As Potential Trade Candidate
The Cincinnati Bengals reshaped their defensive line this offseason, and the moves may end up pushing one of their own starters out the door. Cincinnati signed Jonathan Allen in free agency and traded for Dexter Lawrence II this offseason, immediately crowding the interior of its defensive front. Per Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox , that surplus makes T.J. Slaton a trade candidate, even after he started all 17 games for the Bengals last season. The Numbers Work Against Him The pro...
Jerry Jones Signals Cowboys Have Another Trade Coming
Jerry Jones isn't hiding it anymore. The Dallas Cowboys owner confirmed this week that his team is positioned to make a trade if the right opportunity comes along. "The best way for me to answer that is not timing wise, right on something this morning or this week, but if you look at it generally speaking, we're in play," Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan, when asked whether the "substantive" trade talks he'd hinted at during training camp were still ongoing. Jones made clear whe...
Rams Nearly Landed Different Superstar Before Myles Garrett Trade
The Los Angeles Rams eventually landed Myles Garrett to headline their defensive front. According to a fresh report, he wasn't the only superstar edge rusher they seriously pursued this offseason. Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, writing in his Week 1 notebook for The Ringer, the Rams "strongly considered" trading for Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby before ultimately landing Garrett instead. "Garrett wasn't the only superstar edge the Rams strongly considered acquiring in the sp...
Giants & Patriots Linked To Blockbuster Trade
Kayvon Thibodeaux's name has floated in trade rumors for most of the offseason, and the New England Patriots could be the most logical destination if the New York Giants finally decide to move him. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox reiterated the connection this month, predicting the Giants send Thibodeaux to New England for a 2027 second-round pick. "One of the Patriots' biggest weaknesses is their pass rush," Knox wrote. "While New England did sign Dre'Mont Jones and use a second-round...
Steelers Very Open To Trading Veteran Quarterback
The Pittsburgh Steelers are carrying an unusual four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster, and according to insider reporting, they'd very much like to trim that number by trading one of them away. Per NFL insider Jason La Canfora, citing NFL executives as sources, the Steelers have been very open to trading Mason Rudolph throughout the preseason. Crowded Room That Created This Situation Rudolph currently sits as the primary backup behind Aaron Rodgers, ahead of third-round rookie Dre...
3 Teams Already Circling Recently Released Veteran Receiver
Darius Slayton didn't stay unemployed for long, at least in terms of generating interest. The New York Giants released their longest-tenured player, and by the next morning, multiple teams had already reached out. Per Josina Anderson of Exhibit News Network, three interested teams contacted Slayton's camp shortly after his release, though she didn't name all of them. Anderson did point to the Indianapolis Colts as a speculative fit, while noting Indianapolis itself had not yet made...
Giants Cut Longest-Tenured Player In Surprising Move
The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton, cutting ties with the longest-tenured player on their roster just four days before the regular-season opener against Dallas. Slayton was a fifth-round pick out of Auburn back in 2019, the same draft class that brought Daniel Jones to New York, and he leaves having caught 296 passes for 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns across seven seasons, six of which included at least 500 receiving yards. Move The Numbers Explain Slayton was in the ...
Seahawks Star Could Be Traded Before He Even Returns
Zach Charbonnet hasn't played a snap yet this season, and the defending Super Bowl champions may already be building his eventual replacement plan without him. Seattle officially shifted Charbonnet to the reserve/physically unable to perform list on August 30 as part of its final roster cuts, locking him out of action until Week 5 at the earliest under NFL rules. That timing sets up a fitting return date, with Seattle hosting San Francisco that week, the same opponent Charbonnet tore his...
Vikings QB's Trade Value Reportedly Tanking Fast
J.J. McCarthy's path out of Minnesota keeps getting narrower, and the numbers behind it aren't pretty. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported this week that McCarthy's trade value is "considered low," a notable fall for a player the Vikings took 10th overall just two years ago. Vikings insider Alec Lewis of The Athletic backed that up on his YouTube show, suggesting McCarthy is now more likely to stay in Minnesota simply because no one wants to pay what it would take to get him. Trade T...
Cowboys Linked To Huge Trade Involving Their $64M Star
Kenny Clark's name keeps surfacing in Dallas Cowboys trade speculation. Last Word on Sports floated the idea this week that Dallas could move on from the veteran defensive tackle, pointing to head coach Brian Schottenheimer's comment that "we're not done" as evidence more roster moves could be coming. Contract Restructure That Says The Opposite Back in January, Dallas converted $11 million of Clark's roster bonus into a signing bonus and added three void years to his deal, a move...
AFC Team Brings In Justin Tucker For Workout Amid Roster Chaos
The New York Jets are still searching for answers at kicker just 11 days before the season opener, and Wednesday's search included one of the most decorated names to ever play the position. Justin Tucker was among three kickers who worked out for New York, along with Michael Badgley and Joshua Karty. Kicking Situation That Keeps Shifting New York's need at the position has been unstable all summer. The Jets let go of Nick Folk, who went 28-of-29 on field goals last season, in fre...
Jets Claim Kicker Off Waivers From Colts
The New York Jets moved fast at kicker this week, and the "competition" head coach Aaron Glenn promised didn't last long at all. New York claimed Blake Grupe off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts , one day after the Colts released him following a lost preseason battle with Spencer Shrader. The Jets also claimed linebacker Trevin Wallace off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in the same round of moves. Fast Resolution Grupe's arrival came right after incumbent Jason Sanders struggl...
Baltimore Ravens Sign Former 49ers Kicker
The Baltimore Ravens are adding a safety net at kicker, signing veteran Jake Moody to the practice squad. The move comes three days after second-year kicker Tyler Loop missed two field goals in Baltimore's preseason finale against Washington and was booed by the home crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Loop finished the preseason 5-of-8 on field-goal attempts, doing little to ease concerns after a rookie season that ended with a missed 44-yard attempt in a Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh that cost Bal...
Vikings Cut Quarterback One Day After Making Roster
The Minnesota Vikings are releasing quarterback Max Brosmer, who started two games last year and played in seven. He now heads to waivers. The move comes barely 24 hours after Brosmer survived Sunday's initial 53-man roster cutdown, one of four quarterbacks Minnesota kept on the roster alongside Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, and Carson Wentz. Wide receiver Dillon Bell was also released Monday in a corresponding move, with Minnesota reportedly using the open spots to sign two of the top-ra...
Eagles Weighing Reunion With Three-Time Pro Bowl Tight End
The Philadelphia Eagles are exploring a reunion with tight end Zach Ertz as the team looks to add depth behind an injury-prone position group. Per PHLY Sports' EJ Smith , there's mutual interest between the two sides, though nothing is imminent given Ertz is still approaching the nine-month recovery mark from a torn ACL suffered last December with the Washington Commanders. Ertz was cleared for football activities earlier this month, and that nine-month benchmark, which arrives next week...
Browns Release Veteran Receiver As Rookies Take Over
The Cleveland Browns released wide receiver Cedric Tillman. In a corresponding move, Cleveland claimed cornerback Mekhi Blackmon off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts. Tillman was set to earn $3.6 million in the final year of his rookie contract before the release. As a player with fewer than four accrued seasons, he's now subject to waivers rather than becoming an immediate free agent. Two Rookies Made Him Expendable The move goes back to Cleveland's draft investment at the positi...
Bills Release Three-Time Super Bowl Champion
The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver and returner Mecole Hardman Jr. Hardman was one of 13 players let go in that round, a group that also included veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Hardman's release comes down largely to a lost battle at punt returner. Running back Ray Davis had been given increasing opportunities to field punts throughout camp, and receiver Trent Sherfield's strong performance in Buffalo's preseason finale against Cleveland further squeezed...
Packers Sign Former Pro Bowl Tight End
The Green Bay Packers added tight end depth, signing veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year contract. Smith spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in all 17 games but catching just 38 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. His best season came a year earlier with the Miami Dolphins, when he set career highs with 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, earning his lone Pro Bowl selection. Green Bay Needed The Help The Packers have been thin at tight end all offs...
TRADE: Rams Reunite With Familiar Receiver In Rare Player Swap
The Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins made a player-for-player trade, with the Rams reacquiring wide receiver Tutu Atwell in exchange for running back Jarquez Hunter. Atwell signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with Miami in March after spending his first five seasons with Los Angeles, but the reunion in South Florida never took hold. He had no catches in the preseason and little impact in training camp, with the Dolphins' crowded receiver room, headlined by rookies Caleb Douglas a...
Packers Bracing For Josh Jacobs Suspension
The Green Bay Packers are operating like a suspension is coming for star running back Josh Jacobs, even though the NFL hasn't handed one down yet. GM Brian Gutekunst addressed the situation with reporters. "We've obviously been prepared for that in case that happens," Gutekunst said. "That doesn't mean we wouldn't do that, but yeah, we'll deal with that when that comes." Legal Situation Jacobs was arrested in late May in Hobart, Wisconsin, on suspicion of battery, criminal damage to proper...
Giants Lose Wide Receiver To Season-Ending Injury
The New York Giants ' receiver room took a significant hit, and it's already changing the team's plans before the season even begins. Wide receiver Calvin Austin III tore his ACL during a one-on-one drill at practice, and will miss the entire 2026 season. Austin crumpled to the ground while running step for step with cornerback Deonte Banks and was carted off the field, with teammates gathering around him and owner John Mara coming over to check on him as the severity of the injury becam...
Packers & Steelers Talking Big Trade
The Joey Porter Jr. trade speculation now has a specific team attached to it, even if the full picture remains murky. Per Easton Butler of Packer Report , the Green Bay Packers have been making calls on cornerbacks across the league, and Porter is one of the names that has come up. "The Packers have been making calls for Cornerbacks across the league, per source," Butler wrote. "One name mentioned has been Joey Porter Jr, who is on the last year of his deal." 2027 2nd round pick fo...
Lions Host Former Rushing Champion For Free Agent Visit
The Detroit Lions hosted free agent running back Kareem Hunt for a visit Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, as the team continues searching for backfield depth during a rash of training camp injuries. Hunt did not sign with Detroit immediately following the visit. Detroit Is Suddenly Searching The timing is due to injuries piling up behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs, who signed a massive extension this offseason and is set to anchor the backfield. Backup Isiah Pacheco, a former Ch...
Saints Running Back Feared To Have Suffered Devastating Knee Injury
Ty Chandler's bid to make the New Orleans Saints' roster took a serious hit. Per New Orleans Saints beat writer Nick Underhill, the knee injury Chandler suffered during Saturday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams is "feared to be serious." The severity of the diagnosis explains a roster move the Saints made almost immediately afterward, trading for running back Zamir White from the Las Vegas Raiders the very next day. He Was Winning The Roster Battle Chandler had been buil...
Cardinals Release Recent Top Prospect Running Back
The Arizona Cardinals have moved on from running back Trey Benson, waiving the 2024 third-round pick with an injury designation. The move came in the same set of transactions that saw Arizona activate star pass rusher Josh Sweat off the physically unable to perform list. The Cardinals also signed safeties Devyn Bobby and Hudson Clark, released tight end Baylor Cupp and receiver Bryson Green, and placed receiver Xavier Weaver on injured reserve. Knee That Never Fully Cooperated Benson...
