At this point of the offseason, it’s sunshine and rainbows for the Las Vegas Raiders.

The team landed a much-hyped young offensive mind in Klint Kubiak to helm the team. Alongside general manager John Spytek, the head coach and chief personnel man rolled up their collective sleeves to build a roster via free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Raiders landed prized center Tyler Linderbaum to anchor the offensive line with veteran Kirk Cousins expected to earn the starting quarterback gig. Linebackers Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker were brought in to shore up a deficient defense, just to name...

We can possibly single-handily blame the bad special teams unit for why the Los Angeles Rams were unable to usurp the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks last year. LA struggled in the third phase of the game all season long and it cost them in key moments—including in the NFC Championship game in Seattle where Xavier Smith muffed a punt return to gift the Seahawks a touchdown.

The Rams themselves admitted they had a problem. They fired coordinator Chase Blackburn in December and then turned to Ben Kotwica in the interim. LA finished as the 22nd ranked special teams...

2025 was a rough season for Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth. After what was a career-best season in 2024 where he caught a career-high 65 passes and seven touchdowns, the Penn State product saw his time on the field take a significant hit.

Freiermuth played in just 51 percent of offensive snaps, by far the lowest number of his career, and his 41 catches were his lowest total in a season in which he played at least 16 games. For comparison, Jonnu Smith played in 52 percent of snaps, as offensive coordinator Arthur Smith seemed to be unable to...

In 2025, the Dallas Cowboys trade of superstar Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers shocked the NFL world.

The deal has essentially turned into Parsons to Green Bay, and Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, rookies Malachi Lawrence, Devin Moore, and LT Overton, to Dallas. Plus, they aren’t paying that gigantic contract that the former Penn State star signed with the Packers.

Those kinds of deals usually happen once in a blue moon in general, let alone for one franchise, but the Cowboys seem poised to at least consider sending away another All-Pro in the next year.

Let’s talk about why...

Falcons defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. showed a fair amount of promise during his rookie year in 2025. Earning a notable role in training camp, he enjoyed an 80% snap share and picked up an interception, 1.5 sacks, and 26 total tackles while limiting opposing passers to a 76.0 quarterback rating. Unfortunately, due to a hamstring injury and Achilles tear, he was limited to just six games.

The Achilles ailment is what brought a premature end to his season, and it sounds as if its impact will bleed over into the 2026 campaign. Before mandatory minicamp got underway last week,...

Leo Chenal surveyed the NFL landscape and his market developing in free agency. Washington sure looked like a good one.

The Commanders placed a three-year, $24.5 million contract before him. The organization looked solid despite a rocky 2025 season, with an NFC runners-up finish the year before. New coordinator Daronte Jones was installing an intriguing scheme presumptively based on what Brian Flores runs in Minnesota.

It sure seemed like an opportunity to both cash in and thrive on the football field after solid seasons in Kansas City.

“I really like (the system). It’s very linebacker friendly,” Chenal said [Wednesday in...

Three active players on the Pittsburgh Steelers have made Pro Football Focus’ All-Star Team for the franchise.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long list of great players from the past 20 years, but three active members have made Pro Football Focus’ All-Star Team.

Tight end Pat Freiermuth, outside linebacker T.J. Watt and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward highlight the Steelers’ All-PFF Team.

“The Steelers’ offense reached its peak in 2015, when it ranked fourth in points scored and third in total yards. Nine of the 12 players on this All-PFF offense were part of that unit, with Super Bowl winners Santonio...

It’s all too common in professional sports that when a high-profile player leaves a team, eventually there will be negative commentary and reports that follow them. It’s not that the reports are always meritless, but the timing is extremely predictable. No matter how healthy the relationship was before the trade, release, etc., these stories are bound to follow eventually.

It was hardly a secret that Myles Garrett wasn’t thrilled with his situation in Cleveland. When new Browns coach Todd Monken said he never actually met the reigning Defensive Player of the Year after taking the job, that was a telltale...

Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback. It’s the position battle that Cleveland Browns fans will see atop the headlines in training camp again, but ultimately, it feels like it’ll be like last year in which it doesn’t really matter who Todd Monken chooses, as the team probably doesn’t have the quarterback of the future on the roster.

That’s why in our Reacts poll this week, we excluded the quarterback position to gauge what other position Browns fans are most interested in following this training camp. I gave three positions to choose from: offensive line, wide receiver, or defensive end.

54% of fans voted...

Quarterback Kenny Pickett came to the Pittsburgh Steelers with plenty of hype after the franchise used the No. 20 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on him. However, he lasted just two years with the franchise.

At the time, Kevin Colbert was the Steelers general manager. To him, Pickett’s selection still made perfect sense, via Jack Markowski of Sports Illustrated.

“We projected Kenny to be a start-and-win NFL quarterback, and quite honestly, he lived up to that in his first two seasons with us,” Colbert said. “For us, he was 14-10 and trending in the right direction. So that’s...

Denver Broncos fans have plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about the 2026 NFL season, especially following a positive post-surgery update from quarterback Bo Nix. After a promising 2025 campaign was unfortunately cut short by an injury late in the postseason, fans were concerned whether the bone spur procedures he underwent in April would compromise his signature mobility.

However, Nix confidently dismissed these worries during minicamp, expressing full assurance in his physical rehabilitation. Speaking through Troy Renck, Nix made it clear that he refuses to let the surgeries affect him mentally, boldly stating that this upcoming season will be the...
