Patriots HC Mike Vrabel said that they are placing special teams ace S Brenden Schooler on the team’s non-football injury list on Friday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.
Vrabel did not elaborate on Schooler’s injury.
Schooler, 29, originally signed on with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2022. He was entering the final year of a three-year, $2.6 million undrafted rookie contract when New England re-signed him to a three-year, $9 million contract in October 2024.
He’s entering the second year of his contract and set to make a base salary of $2 million in...
NFL Trade Rumors
Nine days after announcing his retirement, former quarterback Will Grier has already lined up his next job in the NFL. The 31-year-old is returning to Dallas to join Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer‘s staff as an offensive assistant, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
This does not come as a surprise, as Grier almost retired after the season to work for Schottenheimer. The North Carolina native put off the inevitable, though, and decided to sign with the Panthers in April. It was the second Panthers stint for Grier, who first joined the team as a third-round pick in 2019. The...

According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys are hiring former QB Will Grier as an offensive assistant.
Grier announced his retirement a little over a week ago and was placed on the Panthers’ reserved/retired list.
Per Joseph Person of The Athletic, the Cowboys offered him a spot on their coaching staff before he signed with the Panthers back in April.
Grier spent last year on Dallas’ practice squad and was leaning towards taking the job before Carolina called, per Person.
Grier, 31, was selected with the No. 100 overall pick in the third round by the Panthers out of West Virginia...

The Patriots placed one of their top pass rushers, outside linebacker Harold Landry, on the active/physically unable to perform list on Tuesday. Landry is continuing to deal with a knee injury that bothered him last year, and the Patriots’ OLB group is also going into training without Gabe Jacas.
A second-round pick from Illinois, Jacas underwent cleanup surgery on his knee sometime after April’s draft. Jacas, the 55th overall selection, still has not signed his rookie contract a couple months later. He and Rams first-round quarterback Ty Simpson are the only 2026 draftees without deals.
Because he doesn’t have...

But with greater demands in Mike McCarthy’s new offensive system, they may find themselves in a familiar place looking for help at the position once again. It all hinges on […]

The Dallas Cowboys have demonstrated a willingness to take chances on young quarterbacks with upside as a backup behind Dak Prescott. That’ll be the case once again in 2026 with Joe Milton and Sam Howell, but another option appears to be on the table for next year.
ESPN‘s Todd Archer reported that the Cowboys front office had “high interest” in former Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby when he entered his name into the NFL Supplemental Draft. Even with Sorsby’s gambling addiction and Prescott under contract through 2028, Dallas liked the young quarterback’s physical tools.
Of course, the NFL...

Like it or not, there’s no escaping the business of sports. And even as the Chicago Bears prepare to open the 2026 NFL season with Super Bowl aspirations, one very important player has major question marks about their future with the franchise that could be illuminated soon.
All-Pro cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who seems to be healthy and ready to roll this year after a groin injury hampered him in 2025, is now in the second half of a four-year, $76 million contract signed back in 2024. That means he’ll be looking for new money soon—potentially the last big payday of...
