Last year, the Titans were unable to trot out a receiving corps featuring talent and experience for rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. As a result, much of the appeal Ward brings to the game was limited. With a leaky offensive line, receivers that couldn’t always get open, and Ward’s care not to throw interceptions (only seven in Year 1), this led to held balls, resulting in league-worst numbers for sacks (55) and fumbles (11), and hasty decisions, leading to the third-worst completion percentage (59.8) for starters last year.
Tennessee continued work to address both the offensive line and...

The plan for the Las Vegas Raiders and first-year head coach is simple: let veteran Kirk Cousins start at quarterback while No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza gets used to life in the NFL.
However, plans are one thing, reality is another, and it appears that the Raiders have a dilemma on their hands before Mendoza even takes a snap in the pros.
“Ideally, you don’t want him to start from day one,” Kubiak previously told Fox Sports. “You’d love him to be able to learn behind somebody. That’s in a perfect world. It doesn’t always work out that way....
The 49ers announced that they have signed P Jack Bouwmeester to a three-year deal and placed TE Khalil Dinkins on the non-football injury list in a corresponding move.
Bouwmeester, 27, is from Australia and attended Michigan State from 2019 to 2021 before transferring to Utah, which he attended until 2024.
For his final season, he attended Texas University and went undrafted in the 2026 draft before catching on with San Francisco.
The 49ers liked what they saw from Bouwmeester in camp and are now committing to him on a three-year deal.
During his college career, he appeared in 53 games...
NFL Trade Rumors
On Friday afternoon, the rookies for the Seattle Seahawks reported for training camp, and one member of the Seahawks’ draft class has been placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
Seventh-round defensive tackle Deven Eastern, who’s missed parts of minicamp and OTAs with an unspecified injury, is the first to go on the PUP list.
As the Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta noted, the former Minnesota Golden Gopher has missed parts of minicamp and OTAs with an “unspecified injury.” It’s certainly going to be a tall task for Eastern to make the active roster when he’s already missed valuable...
Field Gulls
Continuing our brief offseason flashback series of some of the Pittsburgh Steelers most notable draft picks of the century. In 2001, the team made the rare move of trading down in the first round, slipping three spots from No. 16 to No. 19 in a deal with the New York Jets. A well-calculated move that […]

49ers QB Mac Jones talked about how he was meant to be with with HC Kyle Shanahan.
“Trust me, I didn’t have a crazy amount of options, to be honest. I played in Jacksonville, and there was good tape, but it wasn’t consistent,” Jones admitted, via Niners Wire. “*We talked about, people didn’t really know, but Kyle was like, ‘He knows football.’ He was like, ‘This kid got screwed or whatever you want to call it, and it just didn’t work out. And I can get this kid back on track.’ I feel like he really saw that....

Summer is often for the shiny, new toys in the NFL, leaving yesteryear’s prospects outside of the initial spotlight. Caelen Carson is going into his third season as an afterthought in the Cowboys’ revamped secondary, but could be a bigger factor in training camp than you might think.
Years in NFL: 2
Acquired by: 2024 5th-round pick
Two years ago, some considered Carson as a steal for Dallas in the fifth round. At least one scout had him as a Day 2 prospect. The hype accelerated in the spring and summer practices as Carson was consistently praised for...

Green Bay Packers training camp begins on July 29, with Jordan Love and Co. beginning their road to try and recapture the Lombardi Trophy. Before practices get underway, we’re taking a look at some positon battles to watch this summer.
Let’s dive right into our list of position battles to monitor during Packers training camp.
In reality, this is more so a battle between running back MarShawn Lloyd and his own body. Talent has never been the question with the former 88th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Lloyd has just 6...
The Indianapolis Colts have their whole season in front of them, and while every game is important, some stand out more than others. Let’s see the most critical.
Things start out early. This game is important for two reasons. The first game is always important because teams want to get off to a good start. A loss isn’t the end of the world but 1-0 feels much better. The Ravens are a great test early on. After a down year, the Ravens are sure to bounce back. Beating them at home will set the...

Former Pro Bowl safety Donte Whitner recently offered a harsher perspective on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. And while Ramsey remains one of the most accomplished veterans on the roster, the sand in his hourglass may be running low, and his role with the Steelers could be much less secure than many fans want to acknowledge.
“They moved Jalen Ramsey from corner to safety. Everybody can’t make that transition because it takes a different skillset,” Whitner said. “The angles that you approach the ball carrier are different. The footwork and the efficiency in the middle of the field and...
As training camp approaches, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers remains the status of cornerback Joey Porter Jr.’s contract negotiations.
