Colts big-play wide receiver Alec Pierce is scheduled to reach free agency for the first time during the offseason. Pierce said back in July that he didn’t anticipate signing a contract extension with the Colts. A new deal hasn’t come together four months later, but it appears his chances of remaining in Indianapolis beyond this season have improved.

The Colts decided before the season that it wouldn’t be “financially prudent” to re-sign Pierce, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Things have changed during the team’s unexpected 8-2 start, however. Pierce has been more productive than ever, in part because...

The news of New York Giants receiver Darius Slayton’s engagement to Olympian Anna Hall has garnered warm responses from his teammates, including rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Slayton and Hall made the announcement on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, days before the Giants’ game against the Green Bay Packers, which he will not play in.

He proposed on a track field “in the exact place we first met,” according to Hall’s caption. Like a true gentleman, Slayton got down on one knee to propose.

“My whole entire heart,” she wrote in the caption. “In the exact place we first met I got...

After a clunky 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon, prompting questions about other coaches on staff amid a disappointing season.

With eight games left on the schedule, the Raiders need to show some progress, or else team brass could get impatient. Typically, before a team fires a head coach, the lead skipper will relieve a coordinator or position coach of his duties. Since the Raiders already did the former, head coach Pete Carroll may already feel the pressure of expectations.

Let’s check the seat temperature of a few coaches whose...

Here’s a look at the 2026 NFL cap space for each team. The cap figures below were provided by OverTheCap.com and are as of November 15.

It’s worth mentioning that this is just a snapshot of each team’s cap situation and the totals will change with every roster move. Also, not every reported roster move will be reflected in these figures, as it typically takes a day or two to fully process agreed-upon deals.

We’ll post updates in the coming months, so be sure to check back for the latest!

There have been major changes within the (2-8) New York Giants organization this week. On Monday, they fired head coach Brian Daboll, and on Wednesday, interim head coach Mike Kafka named Jameis Winston as the starter this Sunday against the (5-3-1) Green Bay Packers.

With Jaxson Dart still in concussion protocol, Kafka elected to start Winston over Russell Wilson, who started the first three games of the year. The 31-year-old Winston relishes the opportunity to start for one of the NFL’s marquee franchises.

“I was just grateful. I was grateful that I had this amazing opportunity. I’m so happy and...

We’ve already had one top-25 upset this week, with #20 Louisville falling to Clemson on Friday night. The ACC is currently in absolute chaos, as each of Georgia Tech, Virginia, SMU, Pittsburgh and Duke all have only one loss at the top of the conference. Yes, 5-4 Duke is 4-1 in the ACC. There’s a slim chance that the ACC is left out of the playoff entirely in 2025.

Beyond just the ACC, though, there should be some good games on the college football slate this week. Below are the top-25 matchups on Saturday.

If Mike Kafka is going to earn the full-time — I won’t say “permament” because nothing is permanent in the NFL — he needs to win some games over the next seven weeks. More importantly, perhaps, he will need to show Giants’ ownership that he can lead a full team while setting standards and demonstrating that he can and will hold players to them.

Among the things that got Brian Daboll fired, an inability to hold players accountable was perhaps at the root of everything. The Giants have seemed like a say what you want, do what you want, play...

Unlike last year, the Seattle Seahawks have DeMarcus Lawrence, Cooper Kupp and Nick Emmanwori on their roster, will they be a major difference and factor on Sunday? Will any of those three (or all three) be a reason that Seattle comes out on top on Sunday?

I am picking the Rams, but I know Seattle can win and I won’t surprised if they do. In fact, given how good Seattle’s roster is (I think the Rams have more experience in big games), Seattle may be able to win this game handedly, but I think it’ll be close, but you never...

Salary cap space

All information shown is current as of 7:25 a.m. Saturday, November 15

Current space: $3.3 million.

This includes the estimated salary cap impacts of all known signings and releases. More information about our cap space calculation is available below the tables.

**Please note: All NFL teams must remain below the salary cap between the beginning of the new league year in mid-March and the end of each season. If our estimate of the team’s cap space is a negative number, it’s because contracts for some reported roster moves have not been officially submitted to the league...

One of the biggest narratives we’ve had with the 49ers has been usage. Either players don’t like how they are used, or they feel they should be used more. Yes, this usually has something to do with money, but it all revolves around usage.

49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. is not one of those players.

This video came out earlier this week, and we posted it on the feed, but given some of the drama we’ve seen in past seasons, it’s probably still relevant to have this for discussion through the weekend. I’ve transcribed Robinson’s answer below:

In a battle for NFC West supremacy, the 7-2 Los Angeles Rams are set to host the 7-2 Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, November 16. While Albert Hammond may have sang, “It never rains in California”, the greater Los Angeles area is expecting precipitation all weekend. Not to worry though, fans should be dry and snug under the plexiglass roof of SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PST.

In the first of two season matchups, a pair of well-matched opponents will take to the field of battle. Both teams enter on four-game win streaks and rank in the[ Top...

Seth Weissman asks: 1. Whose decision was it to fire Daboll: Schoen’s or Mara’s?

2. (a) Why do you think Bowen was retained? (b) Do you think he’ll be gone at the end of the season when they Giants select a new head coach?

Ed says: Seth, it was clear from their statement that this was an ownership decision. Whether Joe Schoen made an effort to change the mind of John Mara and Steve Tisch I don’t know.

Why was Bowen retained? Only an educated guess here. Defensive players really do not know Mike Kafka. Before now they only knew...
