Looking ahead to the 2026 season, one key concern for the Pittsburgh Steelers is inside linebacker position. After going through a rough 2025 season with some disappointing performances from Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson and Malik Harrison, the Steelers surprisingly decided to run it back with the same group of inside linebackers, even re-signing veteran Cole […]

New Orleans Saints Hall of Famer and former offensive tackle Stan Brock recently spoke with Arizona Cardinals insider Kyle Odegard in an exclusive one-on-one interview for Action Network, where he talked about some of the most significant story lines in the Big Easy with training camp one week away.
Brock believes confidence will be a major factor in Alvin Kamara’s 2026 season following the Saints making the splash signing of running back Travis Etienne Jr this offseason in free agency. He said today’s NFL creates unique challenges for veteran players as teams increasingly turn to free agency and trades to...

For years the Packers have been one of the youngest teams in the NFL.
They still are, but their young core — especially the ultra-young players — has begun to age up a bit. This is no longer baby’s first NFL season for most of the youngsters, who have grown into significant roles, by and large.
But where does that leave the developmental group, the true young up-and-comers who are mostly potential at this point? If you ask ESPN, at least, it leaves the Packers pretty close to the bottom of the league.

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing fourth-round CB Jermod McCoy to his rookie contract today, per Jeremy Fowler.
Viewed as a first-round talent for much of the spring, McCoy ultimately slid to the fourth round due to significant medical concerns centered around his knee.

NFL Trade Rumors
We’re truly in a brutal time in the NFL news cycle.
Training camps haven’t opened up yet and free agency lists are more or less barren — unless you’re looking at the media landscape and/or previously worked for ESPN.
This time of year lends itself to preseason predictions. Sometimes they’re bold, sometimes they’re beautiful, but in the case of Jarrett Bailey’s piece that just dropped on main, they’re a bit of both.
There’s no shortage of Vikings-adjacent angles therein. Bailey has Stefon Diggs signing with the Dallas Cowboys as his first prediction, for one.
One particularly bothersome prediction — at...

On Wednesday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter posted three renderings of the Kansas City Chiefs’ new stadium set to open in 2031 on X. The Chiefs have now confirmed those images, along with a fourth rendering, in an announcement on the team’s website.
“Today we are excited to show Chiefs Kingdom a first look at our new home,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “From the beginning, our goal has been to build something that improved the gameday experience for every single fan. This new stadium will do just that.
“It’s spectacular. It honors the rich legacy...

Travis Kelce has repeatedly avoided making any firm commitments about how much longer he plans to play, but a new retirement hint has fans wondering if the end of his legendary NFL career could be near. Fresh comments from someone close to the Kansas City Chiefs star have sparked new speculation ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

We have just a couple more training camp battles to look at before the Bears report to training camp next week. Let’s pivot back to the defense and focus on the line, which has a lot of questions and potentially not a lot of answers.
Even though there may not be answers, there may not be many battles either. Grady Jarrett and Gervon Dexter seem set as the team’s top two DTs. Neville Gallimore seems like the team’s DT3. Sure, Bears fans would like to see Jordan van den Berg emerge as the team’s DT4 over Kentavius Street, but that’s...

The Dallas Cowboys are doing Dallas Cowboys things this offseason, but lo and behold, many people are convinced that this year is different. The front office is finally acting like a well-behaved organization and keeping a lower profile this offseason compared to previous years. At least that is how some feel, but is that really the case?
Yesterday, we went down the list one by one and explained how the things this team is notorious for doing in past seasons, they are still doing this offseason. Check out this article for more details. Or, if you want the CliffNotes version,...
