Bills

Bills GM Brandon Beane was willing to take a chance on journeyman S C.J. Gardner-Johnson after researching his past and laying down rules for his first season with the team.

“We talked about just making sure, ‘You’ve got to be a good teammate,’” Beane said, via The Athletic. “We don’t want any cheap shots in practice or anything like that. You want to keep it in between those lines, but you do want his edge.”

The Jets are set to return four of their five offensive line starters from last season, including LT Olu Fashanu, C...

If anyone has ever played the game of Jenga before, they know that it’s a game about skill, patience, and making sure you don’t pull the wrong piece because the whole tower could come crashing down. Some blocks are more important than others in keeping things together.

When it comes to the 2026 Cowboys, there are a few people who could be key to the team’s success and potential problems on the field. Will wins and losses come down to how many punts Bryan Anger can land in the opponent’s 20-yard line? Probably not. What about the new addition of...

Despite any expectations fans may have about Grady Jarrett, the Chicago Bears’ lack of significant movement at the position suggests they still expect him to be a difference-maker in the middle of the defense. Oh, sure, they brought in Neville Gallimore on a two-year, $10 million deal, but they needed a replacement for Andrew Billings. Gervon Dexter Sr. is back and is heading into his contract year, but Jarrett has nearly a $19 million cap hit in 2026, so they need him to be the guy they thought they were signing last offseason.

Jarrett’s first year in Chicago wasn’t memorable,...

Barring another summer surprise, Omar Khan’s heavy lifting appears to be finished ahead of the 2026 season. Between a complete coaching overhaul, splashy veteran additions, contract extensions, and another draft class, the Steelers reshaped their present and future prospects considerably over a few short months. Some moves were obvious home runs. Others are far more […]

The Rams have a number of 2023 draftees who became extension-eligible for the first time this offseason. That list is headlined by superstar wideout Puka Nacua and includes other key members of a loaded roster such as DE Kobie Turner, OLB Byron Young, and OLs Steve Avila and Warren McClendon.

None of those players were first-round picks, meaning they cannot be controlled through 2027 via the fifth-year option and are therefore entering contract years. However, reports of extension talks have been limited, and ESPN’s Sarah Barshop says the Rams seem prepared to keep their focus on the upcoming season and...

Aaron Donald could be the final piece the Los Angeles Rams need to make good on their 2026 Super Bowl expectations. A return feels more and more likely as the start of the regular season approaches.

You simply cannot have a better offseason than adding Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, Myles Garrett, and Donald to an already potent defense. Veteran leadership and championship history would mean a lot to a roster that has come up short in the postseason two years in a row.

But after two seasons watching from his couch, what could Donald realistically bring to the Rams? This...

To help pass the time from now until the start of training camp, we’ll be looking at where every team ranks in positional spending. In this post, we tackle the offensive line. This tends to be the biggest area of spending for most teams, as not only is it the position with the highest numbers once the rosters are finalized, it’s a premium position. It’s not a stretch to say teams rise and fall along with their offensive line. Quarterback may be the most important position, but every fanbase knows the frustration of having a good quarterback behind a bad...

The Steelers have featured some of the NFL’s most recognizable stars over the past two decades, from Hall of Fame-caliber veterans to All-Pro playmakers on both sides of the ball. With that in mind, PFF recently assembled its ultimate Steelers lineup spanning from the 2006 season through the present.

Not surprisingly, leading the offense is franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who guided Pittsburgh to two Super Bowl appearances and a victory in Super Bowl XLIII during the selected time frame. Joining him in the backfield is former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell, whose combination of patience, vision and receiving ability made...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country

We are nearing the halfway point of the summer, and the 2026 NFL season is fast approaching. During this lull in football action, fans begin speculating on who on their favorite team will lead the team in some of the major statistical areas. One of the more fun stats is sacks. Having that defensive player being able to fly into the backfield and tackle the opposing quarterback several yards behind...

It was a surprise to some that first-year New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh wanted to tinker with the roster rather than engage in a wholesale rebuild.

And for the most part, the roster was not overhauled this year. There was, perhaps, more churn than usual for an NFL team, but that’s to be expected with a new coach. But there were a few positions where there was a major change.

The linebacker position is the obvious exception to that statement, as pointed out by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan in ESPN’s poll of the NFC beat writers.

The upgrade...

The Pittsburgh Steelers running back duo is ready to take the league my storm.

The Pittsburgh Steelers formed a new running back duo with Jaylen Warren and free agent Rico Dowdle this offseason. But where exactly do the two rank amongst the rest of the league?

Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated believes Dowdle and Warren are the second-best running back duo behind only Los Angeles Rams Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.

“This offseason, the Steelers lost Kenneth Gainwell in free agency but gained Dowdle, who is coming off a 1,000-yard season in his only year with the Panthers. Dowdle rushed...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2026 offseason practices concluded in the middle of June. Next up is the team’s annual training camp, which will get underway in late July at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Ahead of that, we will preview the team’s offseason roster three players at a time as part of a multi-post series. This […]
