According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, there is “near universal” agreement within the Vikings’ organization that it’s worth pursuing an extension for RT Brian O’Neill.
The veteran has been a stalwart in Minnesota’s starting lineup since being drafted back in 2018, with 120 starts under his belt and two Pro Bowls over eight seasons.
However, Seifert notes O’Neill’s age and the Vikings adding two other younger tackles this offseason will create some debate over the years and money to commit on a new deal.
O’Neill, 30, was taken with the No. 62 overall pick by the Vikings out of Pittsburgh back...

The Washington Commanders are looking energized before the 2026 season. Washington only won five games during the 2025 season, in part due to Jayden Daniels’ season-ending elbow injury. Washington needs to lean on their veteran talent if they want to get back to the postseason in 2026. One of those veterans will have some extra motivation to have a breakout season.
The Commanders will face a big contract decision around Daron Payne at some point over the next calendar year. However, it appears that Payne will not get a new contract until after the 2026 season.

After a failed season, the Kansas City Chiefs set out to make changes. We’ve seen some of those take place on both sides of the ball and even within the coaching staff. Among those changes include reshaping the backfield, and signing a new starting running back in Kenneth Walker III. Yet, some still feel like the Chiefs still didn’t do enough to upgrade Patrick Mahomes‘ receiving corps.
Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are atop the Chiefs’ depth chart, but neither has recorded a 1,000-yard season. Rice has been in the NFL for three seasons, and Worthy for two. Yet, some...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it’s new head coach Mike McCarthy and whether he’ll be more aggressive when it comes to things like time management and fourth-down decision-making than his predecessor, Mike Tomlin. Bradley Locker of PFF broke down the best, worst, most and least-aggressive teams on fourth downs, and it turns out that he might end up being more similar to Tomlin than you’d think.
Alan breaks it down:

The Packers have gone through a lot of offensive line turnover in the still pretty young Jordan Love era. Of the five linemen who blocked for Love in Week 1 of the 2023 season, just one (Zach Tom) is still on the roster, and his availability is somewhat in doubt for the early portions of this year.
That’s not to say there’s not talent on the offensive line today; I’m not here to worry about the Packers’ overall offensive line quality. But I am concerned about their depth at tackle, and maybe you should be, too.
Right now, the Packers...

With more than 30 new players on their roster this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a good position entering training camp. The roster, top to bottom, looks pretty solid under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. That said, there are some questions and some starting positions that seem unsettled, like right guard and right […]

The Green Bay Packers have made it a point this offseason to secure their core on offense for the foreseeable future. The Packers have already spent big at wide receiver this offseason, signing both Jayden Reed and Christian Watson to lucrative contract extensions.
Next up is seemingly Tucker Kraft, who may be the best pass-catcher of the bunch. While the raw value of a Kraft extension likely won’t reach what Watson got as a wide receiver, there’s no question that he is one of the most important pieces of the Green Bay offense.
However, Kraft is coming off of a...

Vic Tafur of The Athletic recently spoke with San Francisco 49ers CEO Al Guido, and there’s a chance the team will relocate its practice facility.
There was an image during OTAs of Mike Evans running around with the electric substation in the background. While the internet didn’t miss the opportunity to joke about that photo, the move would be more about a lack of space than the nearby substation.
The conversation came up when Guido was discussing how much of a success the recent Super Bowl was for Levi’s Stadium, and why Santa Clara should host more Super Bowls moving...

On the latest episode of his Not Just Football podcast, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward peeled back the curtain on the Steelers’ devastating loss to the Cleveland Browns in the 2020 AFC Wild Card game at Heinz Field.
The Browns set an NFL playoff record by scoring 28 points in the first quarter. Cleveland ended up defeating Pittsburgh, 48-37, but the final score wasn’t a true indication of the embarrassing performance that took place at Heinz Field on that frigid January night by the Steelers.
Ben Roethlisberger and Maurkice Pouncey were emotional after the loss, both sitting on...
The Texans exercised quarterback C.J. Stroud‘s fifth-year option in April, keeping him under wraps through 2027. Whether Stroud will stick around longer than that is up in the air. With training camp about a month away, the Texans and Stroud are not close to an extension, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.
When asked about a potential extension in May, Stroud indicated his agent will handle it. At the same time, though, the three-year veteran suggested he deserves a new deal.
“I think I’ve held my bargain up,” Stroud said.
That was certainly the case earlier in Stroud’s career. Fresh...
