The ongoing chatter of Aaron Donald returning to Los Angeles only amplified heading into the Rams training camp on Saturday. However, head coach Sean McVay wouldn't say if Donald's return was imminent, but he continued to leave the door open for the franchise icon. "If that is something that he wants to do, we are going to try to be able to make that happen," McVay said at training camp on Saturday, according to ESPN. "But I genuinely do not have an answer on whether he is or isn't." The surge in rumors also comes from Donald's recent appearance at...
As New England Patriots center Jared Wilson transitions back to the middle of the formation in 2026 after spending his rookie season at left guard, communication is vital to building chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye.
“The snap and communication,” Wilson said after Saturday’s training camp practice, of what he feels is important in that development. “First it’s communication, then you’ve got to get the ball to [Maye].”
Wilson, a center in college at Georgia, originally repped at the position during training camp last year; however, after frequent mishaps delivering the ball to Maye, he switched to guard, with Garrett Bradbury...

Today, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Rams quarterback Ty Simpson has signed his rookie contract, concluding the team’s rookie class signings and closing the book on the entire 2026 NFL Draft class. Per Rapoport, the backup passer’s four-year deal is fully guaranteed for $25.4MM with a $14.94MM signing bonus.
The Rams have only had one other first-round pick in the last 10 years, so we can forgive them for being the last to sign their Day 1 pick. Armed with Atlanta’s No. 13 overall pick — thanks to a first-round trade the prior year that allowed the Falcons...
Pro Football Rumors
The Arizona Cardinals announced they have activated their best offensive lineman, well hopefully he is their best offensive lineman this year as they announced that Paris Johnson Jr. has been activated off the PUP list.
PJJ has been good when healthy, maybe not elite, but he has played well and anchored the left tackle position the last two years.
The issue becomes that PJJ has struggled the last two seasons to stay healthy and when that happens, the Arizona Cardinals offense seems to struggle as well.
So, for the Cardinals that is also the question when it comes to an...

The Cardinals announced on Saturday that LT Paris Johnson Jr. has been activated from the physically unable to perform list.
Johnson, 24, moved from right guard to left tackle in 2022 and was a consensus All-American in his final season at Ohio State. The Cardinals drafted him with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
He is entering the final year of a four-year, $30,359,563 contract that included a $19,079,682 signing bonus and a fifth-year option for the 2027 season, which the team exercised.
In 2025, Johnson appeared in 12 games and made 12 starts for the...

NFL players were sad to see their employers remove the natural grass playing surface from the World Cup in a return to artificial turf for the upcoming football season. New York Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor wants to set the record straight.
Anything is better than plastic.
Unfortunately, NFL owners do not seem to care. They are only focused on what serves their bank accounts instead of what serves their players.
11 National Football League stadiums were selected as a host venue for the 2026 World Cup. The majority of...
As Christian Gonzalez took the field for Day 1 of New England Patriots training camp, he did so without a contract extension.
That did not stop him from participating in full. It also did not stop Drake Maye, who was looking to start training camp with a bang, from testing the No. 1 cornerback immediately.
Lined up across from A.J. Brown on the team’s first 11-on-11 play, Gonzalez saw Maye’s pass intended for the star receiver hit the turf.
“I think that shows his main focus, and that’s football. He’s the best corner in the league in my opinion. He’s...

A new defensive coordinator in Patrick Graham, continued depth with Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer, and the likelihood of moving around the formation more in 2026 have expectations high for Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt. The former All-Pro is coming off a down year, one that saw the end of the season cut short […]

Any hopes of the Dallas Cowboys trading for Jordyn Brooks to upgrade their linebacker position have now gone out the window after the Miami Dolphins signed him to a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension earlier this week. With that no longer an option, they should now set their sights on free agent LB Bobby Wagner. Below are three reasons why.
Even at 36 years old, Bobby Wagner would immediately upgrade the position. He may not be the player he once was, but is still playing as one of the best off-ball LBs in the league....

With free agent receiver Tyreek Hill still recovering from the brutal left knee injury he suffered as member of the Dolphins last September, the eight-time Pro Bowler is not a lock to play in 2026. Nevertheless, Hill remains on the NFL radar. “Multiple teams” have shown interest in Hill, a member of his camp told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
It is unclear which clubs have checked in on Hill, though Fowler reports the 32-year-old remains “very fond of Kansas City and the Chiefs.” Hill began his career as a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2016. He went to...

The Green Bay Packers are the only publicly owned team in the NFL, but they may not remain that way in the future if things continue to trend in the direction that they seem to be heading.
At least, that’s what one prominent NFL reporter believes, and the recent comments of Packers’ CEO Ed Policy seemingly to back up that belief.
Could the Packers be sold to a private owner in the future in order to boost their cash flow? It appears it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Jeremy Fowler reports the Ravens are signing veteran OL Hakeem Adeniji following a successful workout on Friday.
Adeniji, 28, was drafted by the Bengals in the sixth round out of Kansas in 2020, and he signed a four-year, $3.5 million rookie contract.
The Bengals released him in August before the 2023 season, and Adeniji was signed a few days later to Minnesota’s practice squad. Adeniji was signed to the Vikings’ active roster in October 2023.
He caught on with the Browns in March 2024 on a one-year, $1.1 million deal and signed with the Cowboys in 2025.
In 2025, Adeniji...
