Tyler Johnson is no fresh-faced rookie; he is entering his seventh NFL season. But it will be his first in Dallas, and the veteran hasn’t done much to establish himself in the league in general. How does Johnson factor among the many contenders for a spot in the Cowboys’ 2026 receiver room?

Background

Years in NFL: 6
Acquired by: Free agent (2026)

While a highly productive receiver at Minnesota from 2017-2019, Johnson’s lack of standout athletic traits kept him from going high in the 2020 NFL Draft. He was selected in the fifth round by Tampa Bay, joining the...

Bengals

Bengals DT Dexter Lawrence isn’t worried about his declining sack numbers and believes he’s still a disruptive force on the defense.

“If you turn on the tape, you’ll see what you’re supposed to see,” Lawrence said, via ESPN. “It’s more about proving myself right. I know who I am. People have been talking about me my whole life. It’s just the way this game goes. It’s just the way I’ve been in the spotlight my whole life.”

Lawrence added that his new chapter doesn’t signal the twilight stages of his career.

“I’m still out there clangin’ and bangin’,”...

While the 2026 NFL Draft class only featured two quarterbacks selected in the first round, the 2027 draft class is projected to be much stronger. It includes the likes of Arch Manning, Julian Sayin, Dante Moore, and Brendan Sorsby. Of course, as we’ve seen time and time again, the names mentioned above may not have great seasons, which could push them out of the first-round conversation. Then, there’s always a chance a surprise QB has an excellent season and emerges as a potential top pick too.

Yet, as of now, some would suggest that Manning (Son of Cooper, nephew of...

The trade acquisition of Michael Pittman Jr. grabbed all the headlines at the start of free agency, but it was another offensive addition who could end up making the biggest impact. RB Rico Dowdle has a chance to define the Pittsburgh Steelers offense in 2026. Dowdle runs with the same undrafted chip on his shoulder […]

Green Bay Packers training camp kicks off in just over a week, with players hitting the practice field at Ray Nitschke Field just before the end of the month. There are a few notable injuries heading into camp and the Packers coaching staff could ease a few veterans into action, creating opportunities for younger players to prove themselves.

With just a few days remaining until practices get underway, let’s highlight a few young players on the Packers roster who are worth keeping a close eye on during camp.

Kyron Drones, Quarterback

The Packers found themselves a solid backup quarterback...

We are now just over halfway through examining the rosters of the WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football League. Today, we are looking at the roster of Kev H. Kev has been a regular around Windy City Gridiron for years and has been in the league since its inception.

Kev’s team started strong in the early years, but has faded in recent years and is currently reworking the roster to try to get back to that early success.

Let’s take a look at the roster:

Let’s dive in, and let’s start with the quarterbacks. Any room that starts with Patrick Mahomes is...

During this year’s free agency cycle and 2026 NFL draft, all four AFC North teams made significant moves to add talent to their rosters. While more additions are still possible over the next few months, everyone’s core players are mostly set ahead of the 2026 season.

How do the different positional groups in the division stack up to one another? Let’s rank the AFC North squads by position, continuing with linebacker.

1. Baltimore Ravens

Starters: Roquan Smith, Teddye Buchanan

Depth: Trenton Simpson, Carl Jones, Jay Higgins IV

The Ravens made no additions to their core linebacker group this...

After winning the Super Bowl at the end of the 2025 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles have been itching to get back ever since. Yet, as they found out last season, repeating the same success easy. While the Eagles still had no trouble reaching the postseason thanks to a stellar 11-6 record, they couldn’t get past the NFC Wild Card.

We’ve since seen Eagles general manager Howie Roseman respond by shaking up the roster in a number of ways. Yet, some still wonder if the Eagles need a bit more roster help.

Bills

Former Bills WR Stevie Johnson said he was surprised by how mature WR Keon Coleman was when the two met to work out.

“I thought he was going to be immature. I thought he was going to be, not a student of the game, just a very talented player with God-given skills,” Johnson said, via Around The NFL. “But just right off the bat … he was locked in, wanting to learn things, open to the constructive criticism. He was asking questions.”

Johnson has been working with Coleman, and he talked about how he’s helped him this off-season....

Pittsburgh sports fans are unfortunately used to the Pirates baseball franchise and its penny-pinching ways. For years, fans have been begging Bob Nutting to open his wallet, but for the last decade, the Pirates have ranked at the bottom of the league in payroll while star players like Gerrit Cole, Tyler Glasnow, Josh Bell and […]

Cam Skattebo botched a backflip in New York while attending Fanatics Fest over the weekend. That failed trick horrified the Giants‘ fanbase, which is hoping to see the running back return from an ankle injury.

While most viewed the flip as idiotic, teammate Jaxson Dart had a different outlook. He loved what he saw. Skattebo’s rehab seems to be moving along nicely.

Skattebo is about eight months removed from a season ending setback that sidelined him for 10 weeks. During a late October matchup with the Eagles, he dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula after being tackled awkwardly. It...

Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks is due a $7.82MM salary in 2026, the final year of his current contract. The most recent reporting on the matter suggests Brooks will join teammates De’Von Achane and Aaron Brewer as players to receive extensions from Miami’s new regime.

Brooks, 28, could not have picked a better time to come to the negotiating table. The former first-round pick of the Seahawks led the league with a whopping 183 tackles in 2025, adding 3.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss to his totals. Pro Football Focus graded him as the 11th-best linebacker out of 88 qualified...
