New Browns head coach Todd Monken said earlier in the offseason his preference would be for a starting quarterback to be in place ahead of training camp. Instead, the competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders will continue through the summer.

The perception with respect to which passer holds the lead in this case has shifted over time. Things can of course change once padded practices and preseason games begin, but at the moment Watson is seen as being in the lead. That is expected to remain the case leading up to training...

The Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in somewhat familiar, yet entirely uncharted territory. Fresh off a nine-win improvement from the 2024 to 2025 season, the Liam Coen era has already delivered the kind of rapid cultural transformation that Jaguar fans have seen only once before in recent memory.

The Weight of Year 2

When Doug Pederson replaced the disastrous Urban Meyer regime in 2022, Jacksonville vaulted six wins in a single year, and the energy surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars shifted almost overnight. Coen’s arrival has produced a similarly dramatic swing, not just in the win column, but in the...

The Atlanta Falcons are currently taking part in mandatory minicamp as they gear up for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. One storyline hanging over the Falcons this offseason has been the legal situation of pass rusher James Pearce Jr., who was arrested in Florida on a slew of charges in February but has since agreed to a pretrial diversion program that would see the charges dismissed.

Recently, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on the latest regarding Pearce Jr.’s participation in minicamp.

“Atlanta Falcons defensive end James Pearce Jr. returned to the team’s Flowery Branch training facility today for the...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Falcons DE James Pearce Jr. has returned to the team’s facility for the first time since being charged with aggravated battery and fleeing law enforcement on February 7th.

Schefter adds Pearce is expected to take part in the team’s mandatory minicamp this week, but he’s not anticipated to address the media.

The most recent report about Pearce was regarding a potential program he could complete to have charges dismissed, where he will have to attend therapy sessions and stay out of trouble for a six-month period. Even if charges are dismissed, Pearce could still be subject...

Every year, teams like the Denver Broncos find talent from all over the world. Usually, players come from college or other NFL teams. Sometimes it’s another country, playing another sport. Other times, they come from other football leagues, like the UFL.

Some UFL players have gone on to the NFL and enjoyed serious success as they get their second chance at playing in the pros. Examples include All-Pro return specialist KaVontae Turpin and All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey. Could the Broncos find the UFL’s next hidden gem?

On Monday, Broncos general manager George Paton signed wide receiver Hakeem Butler to a...

In many ways, much has already been decided for the Cleveland Browns going into training camp for the 2026 NFL season. With DE Myles Garrett with the Los Angeles Rams and CB Denzel Ward wanting to stick around, there are not many lingering questions around the team.

Oh, except who will start at quarterback and how many games?

Quarterback is always a big discussion point for teams that do not have someone set in stone. Even the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing questions about the future of QB Baker Mayfield going forward. We have [fans in DBN’s Feed talking about...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone through a lot of changes this offseason, most notably hiring Mike McCarthy to replace Mike Tomlin as the team’s new head coach. Reuniting McCarthy with Aaron Rodgers signals that the Steelers are ready to try to compete this season, but their roster doesn’t seem ready to do so.

As a result, it would make sense to see the Steelers make some moves to try to win now before the season gets underway. Rodgers is entering his final season, meaning a reset is coming in 2027.

On Monday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow pitched four big moves...

The Chicago Bears have shook up their linebacker room entering the 2026 season. Now, extra reinforcements at the position may be headed their way.

It won’t be the...

The New England Patriots are moving on from a challenging offseason, which included a loss in Super Bowl LX and some troubling headlines involving head coach Mike Vrabel, and the team is reaffirming its championship aspirations. Following quarterback Drake Maye’s standout 2025 season, the Patriots made a significant move by acquiring star wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles.

After the team’s latest OTA session, he remarked on the new receiving corps: “The talent is stacked. That’s what you want. You want talent and...

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward is 29 years old. He has been with Cleveland since the 2018 NFL season. Ward has two seasons remaining on his contract. There are many people wondering if Ward is going to get traded in the future or not. Many are thinking this because the Browns traded away defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for Jared Verse and draft picks.

For now, Ward is going to be on the Browns roster for the 2026 NFL season. Now, there is a chance that he could potentially request a trade and ask out. He...

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was on pace to potentially have an All-Pro season in 2025 before tearing his ACL. Now on the road to a comeback, his return to the field could also come with him playing on a new contract.

Speaking to reporters this past week, Kraft said that his goal is to be on the field for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Not only does he intend to be on the field, but he hopes not to be on a pitch count.

TMZ asked Eric Dickerson about the Myles Garrett trade to the Los Angeles Rams, and the possibility of Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to make another run with the team. According to Dickerson, he thinks Donald is a great player who may still have some gas left in the tank, but he also feels that Donald has nothing left to prove in his career, and that the Rams can be just fine to compete for a Super Bowl without him.

Said Dickerson:

*“I’d love to have Aaron Donald back, but you know I think they can win without him…it...
