Washington went all-in on their defensive line in late 2010s, taking one in the first round of four consecutive NFL drafts.

Jonathan Allen came in 2017. Daron Payne was taken in 2018, with Montez Sweat in 2019 and Chase Young in 2020.

Payne’s the only one left.

Young was traded to San Francisco. Sweat was dealt to Chicago before getting paid. Allen spent eight seasons in Washington and got one big-time contract extension but ended up getting released after a trade request didn’t pan out. He was in Minnesota for the 2025 campaign and will play for Cincinnati in 2026....

The Philadelphia Eagles signed LB Chandler Martin on Wednesday, per the NFL Transactions wire.

Martin, 23, wound up going undrafted out of Memphis last year. He later signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Ravens.

Baltimore opted to waive Martin coming out of the preseason and he was later signed to their practice squad. He was on and off of the active roster until catching on with the Eagles in March. Philadelphia cut him loose earlier this week, making this his second stint this offseason.

In 2025, Martin appeared in three games for the Ravens and recorded five tackles....

The Dallas Cowboys officially signed WR Jaden Smith, per the NFL’s Official Transaction Wire.

Smith, 24, signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Nevada in July 2025. He was waived with an injury designation after camp and spent the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury.

The Buccaneers signed him in July of last year and waived him with an injury designation during training camp. After spending 2025 on injured reserve, Tampa Bay cut him loose in April.

Smith has yet to appear in an NFL game.

The post Cowboys Sign WR Jaden Smith appeared...

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday that defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon during the first week of OTAs, could return near the end of the season.

The Giants have not placed Robertson-Harris on IR, which would end his season.

“There’s a chance Roy could get back actually,” Harbaugh said. “With Roy’s situation time-frame wise there’s a chance he could get back late in the season so we’re going to try to hold off on that if we can.”

Robertson-Harris, a 6-foot-7, 300-pound tackle, is a 10-year veteran who started all 17...

Ever since the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett on Monday, Aaron Donald rumors have been running wild. It didn’t help that the future first-ballot Hall of Fame defensive tackle has since been pouring fuel on the fire by admitting that the Rams’ adding the NFL’s best defender has given him consideration to end his retirement at the age of 35.

But how realistic is that idea? Donald hasn’t played in the NFL since the end of the 2023 season. That’s two full years away from the most competitive level of football.

Yet, this is no average human.

Cincinnati Bengals safety Jordan Battle will join the U.S. Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron, or the Blue Angels, for a flight at the CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show later this month.

The fourth-year player will not be flying the plane. Rather, he will be in the back-seat. Still, it will probably be a thrilling experience for Battle.

Here’s an excerpt about the Blue Angels from the Dayton Air Show website:

The precision flight demonstrations showcase the professionalism, excellence and teamwork found in all Navy and Marine Corps units, as well as provide the thrill and magic of flight to people...

Broderick Jones was starting to put things together midway through his third NFL season. He unfortunately suffered a serious neck injury in Week 11, leaving his future with the Steelers in doubt. That future became even murkier when the Steelers drafted Max Iheanachor in the first round in April. But that hasn’t stopped Jones from […]

PITTSBURGH — With the ink not even dry on Nick Herbig’s contract extension, Pittsburgh Steelers “are working” on a contract extension with defensive tackle Keeanu Benton, a source told Steelers Now on Wednesday.

Benton was in the Steelers’ media room on Wednesday, supporting his former college teammate Herbig. Benton and Herbig also share an agent, Joe DiBenedetto, who was in town for Herbig’s signing.

Herbig was the first of the team’s 2023 NFL Draft class to earn a contract extension this offseason, but he probably won’t be the last. Asked about that during his post-contract-signing press conference, he went straight...

The Las Vegas Raiders have circled for the start of training camp late next month as a targeted date for star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby to return to practice.

Crosby, speaking to Raiders’ reporters for the first time this eventual offseason Wednesday after an open OTA session, didn’t project anything but optimism that that target date will be reached.

Crosby said he is “really close” to start practicing.“ He was been on the field stretching with his teammates before each OTA session and new Las Vegas defensive coordinator Rob Leonard said Wednesday Crosby is doing everything but practicing and he is...

The Pittsburgh Steelers opened their wallet for OLB Nick Herbig to the tune of $100 million over four years. Not bad for a player who has never started a full season in the NFL. Even Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t making that much per year until the final few seasons of his career, a jarring reminder of […]

The New York Jets announced they officially signed K Jason Sanders, and waived K Younghoe Koo and WR Da’Quan Felton in corresponding moves.

Felton, 25, started his college career at Norfolk State where he was second-team All-MEAC in 2022. He transferred to Virginia Tech the following season and started two years for the Hokies.

He caught on with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in April 2025 but was among their final roster cuts with an injury designation. The Giants cut him loose in April and he signed on with the Jets earlier this week.

During his two years...

The 2026 season could be a year to remember for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only are they entering a new era with Mike McCarthy at head coach, but it is also Aaron Rodgers’ last season in the NFL. That should give Pittsburgh plenty of motivation to put together a special season for their 42-year-old quarterback.

The Steelers made some excellent roster moves over the past few months and have looked sharp early in their offseason program. Pittsburgh has all of the talent needed to make some noise in the postseason, so long as Rodgers can stay healthy.

But if the...
