The Chicago Bears, coming off of a successful 2025 campaign, appear poised for a multi-year run of contention due to the amount of young talent on the team.

It all starts up front with QB Caleb Williams (24 years old), but he’s far from the only young building block that GM Ryan Poles has assembled.

The list of budding stars under 25 is lengthy: Colston Loveland (22), Rome Odunze (24), Luther Burden III (22), Dillon Thieneman (21), Darnell Wright (24), and Austin Booker (23), to name a few. That’s a heck of a young core that will only continue to...

After six productive seasons as a star wide receiver/occasional rusher with the San Francisco 49ers, Deebo Samuel spent last season with the Washington Commanders instead.

— Seahawks PR (@seahawksPR) July 22, 2026

This is expected considering Charbonnet tore his ACL at the beginning of this year and didn’t have surgery until February.

Despite the standard nine-to-12-month rehab timeline for ACLs, the Seahawks have been optimistic about Charbonnet playing at some point this year.

Charbonnet, 25, began his career at Michigan before transferring to UCLA for his final two seasons. He was honorable mention all-conference as a freshman and earned...

Former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro and Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger believes Mason Rudolph is the quarterback most likely to be the odd man out in Pittsburgh’s crowded quarterback room.

Speaking on Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, Ben was asked which quarterback he thinks won’t make it through the current logjam.

“You think it’s Mason just for the sheer fact that the other two guys are young bucks. Personally, I think that’s the smarter move. You want to have two young guys because one of those could be your potential quarterback for the next five to ten years.”=

Roethlisberger’s answer points directly...

Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin sent shockwaves throughout the football world after announcing that he would be stepping down from his position after the team’s loss in the AFC Wild Card playoffs to the Houston Texans.

In an article from Rotowire, they ranked all the NFL coaches by how hot their seats are entering the season. McCarthy was labeled as having the third...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone all-in on the 2026 season, loading up for seemingly one last good swing at competing for a Super Bowl. They’ve spent a ton of money on an aging roster, and built up a lot of depth across the board. Yet, there is one position group that has some worried about […]

The day began with six unsigned rookie draft picks with two of them belonging to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Now, though, on the eve of he team’s rookie reporting date for training camp, the team is down to one unsigned rookie as ESPN has reported cornerback Jermod McCoy plans to sign his rookie deal Wednesday. He was a fourth-round pick from Tennessee.

That means the Raiders lone unsigned rookie is first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza. The only first-round draft picks who are unsigned are Mendoza and fellow quarterback Ty Simpson, who was the No. 13...

Aaron Donald‘s NFL comeback might be in the works, but he is not expected to make a decision on returning to the Rams anytime soon.

“I don’t think, and it doesn’t sound like, we’re gonna get an immediate answer, or an immediate signing, of Aaron Donald,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said. “He’s not gonna come back until he feels like he’s ready to be Aaron Donald again.”

Donald is currently focused on getting back into football shape after two years away from the gridiron. There is no timeline to his process; any decision is unlikely to come until Los Angeles is...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the oldest rosters in the NFL, but Omar Khan and the front office have quietly done a good job replenishing the team’s young talent and building the foundation for the next era. Apparently, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz isn’t quite as impressed. In his annual under-25 talent rankings, the Steelers landed […]
