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.

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.

Reason #1: Talent upgrade

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...

The Panthers announced six roster moves on Saturday, signing three players and releasing three players in corresponding moves.

The three players signed were defensive tackles Kyon Barrs and Elijah Garcia, and cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson.

Carolina released OT Derrell Bailey, LB Jared Bartlett, and CB Mike Reid. All three players worked out for the team recently and were signed alongside LB Cam Gill, who has already had a stint with the team.

Gill, 26, went undrafted out of Wagner back in 2020 before catching on with the Buccaneers. He made the team’s roster as a rookie and did so once again...

The Bengals are set to kick off training camp next Wednesday, which means players will be reporting to Cincinnati in the coming days. That also means we’ll see guys placed on various injury lists to start camp, the first being veteran defensive tackle B.J. Hill and rookie tight end Josh Kattus.

On Saturday, the Bengals announced that Hill was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list and Kattus was placed on the Non-Football Injury list.

PUP applies to players with football-related injuries, while NFI applies to injuries or illnesses that were sustained away from team activities. It’s unclear what...

The NFL is a ratings juggernaut, and they’ve managed to manipulate their yearly schedule to ensure there’s always something to talk about. For some, the offseason isn’t as newsworthy as the regular season and the playoffs, but you’d be blown away at how many eyes free agency and the draft bring in, at how interested fans are about the 90th man on a 90-man offseason roster, and how the 16-man practice squad is shaping up.

Football is the most popular sport in America, and its popularity globally grows every year, but just because we love almost everything about it, that...

According to Matt Maiocco, the 49ers placed four players on the physically unable to perform list, including TE George Kittle.

The team also placed DE Mykel Williams, RB Isaac Guerendo, and DT Alfred Collins on the list.

In a corresponding move, the team released DT Evan Anderson.

Kittle, 32, is a former fifth-round pick of the 49ers out of Iowa back in 2017. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.69 million contract and set to make a base salary of $735,000 in 2020 when he agreed to a new five-year, $75 million extension with the 49ers.

He...

The Los Angeles Rams have finally come to terms with quarterback Ty Simpson on his rookie contract, assuring that the first-year signal caller will be with the team for the first day of training camp. Simpson’s contract, which had a predetermined number of years and dollar amount already, is a four-year, $25.4 deal that is fully-guaranteed, and a fifth-year option that the team will need to make a decision on in 2029.

The contract contains a $14.94 million signing bonus, per Ian Rapoport.

Simpson, the 13th overall pick in the 2026 draft out of Alabama, is competing against Stetson Bennett...
