Early in WR DeAndre Hopkins’ career, he was not blessed with outstanding quarterback play. Despite that, he ascended to prominence across the 2014 and 2015 seasons, racking up big numbers and a Pro Bowl bid while catching passes from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, T.J. Yates and more. But the 2016 season was a slog, and Hopkins struggled mightily with 14 games of Brock Osweiler and two games of Tom Savage under center.

In retrospect, that year left scars that have stayed with Hopkins for his entire career. He has been careful to prioritize landing with a quarterback he...

After another elite season, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon is reportedly closing in on a potential record-setting contract. The Seahawks may be closer than ever to securing the long-term future of one of the NFL’s premier defensive players.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, negotiations between Seattle and Witherspoon have advanced significantly. The report also states that the Seahawks have offered Witherspoon a contract worth around $32 million per year, a figure that would place him as the new highest paid cornerback in NFL history.

Rapoport also mentioned the ongoing negotiation between the New England Patriots and Christian Gonzalez, whom...

It’s been an eventful two years for former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett.

After the Steelers went 3-0 down the stretch to close the 2023 season under Mason Rudolph, clinching a playoff berth in the process, the writing appeared to be on the wall for the University of Pittsburgh product. The Steelers signed Russell Wilson on the first day of the 2024 league year, which led to Pickett requesting a trade. Pittsburgh sent him to Philadelphia, and he was the backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts when the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

In the 2025...

We’re but a few days from the start of NFL training camps, which means we’re deeeeeep into bold predictions SZSN. Hogs Haven will certainly make some this summer, possibly closer to the regular season and after we’ve gleaned some much-needed info from camp.

SB Nation’s own Jarrett Bailey, who runs BehindTheSteelCurtain.com, didn’t wait for his, trotting out 61 bold predictions for the NFL season.

He clearly has a high opinion of the Washington Commanders. Not, like, win-NFC-East-high, but there’s a strong sense that better’s on the way.

That comes from three of his 61(!!) bold predictions about the upcoming 2026...

The Green Bay Packers have obviously been on an extension spree recently. The only major player left in a contract year going into 2026 is tight end Tucker Kraft, who we all should assume will sign a mega deal relatively soon. Shortly after defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt signed, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Packers want to get a deal done with Kraft before the regular season kicks off, so there should be no worries on the timing there.

With that being said, how many players overall do you see the Packers giving extensions to moving forward? Right now,...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Raiders fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The Las Vegas Raiders have improved their roster throughout free agency and the NFL draft. With the Maxx Crosby trade not going through as well, it leaves open the chance the Raiders could see an improvement in their overall record.

Of course, with the seventh-toughest schedule in the league, the three AFC West teams will make it tougher. The new coaching...

The Arizona Cardinals have officially signed their entire 2026 NFL draft class, as they agreed to terms with rookie quarterback, Carson Beck.

From the team:

Beck (6-4, 233) played 55 games in his college career with Miami (2025) and Georgia (2020-24) and completed 966-of-1,390 passes (69.5%) for 11,725 yards and 88 touchdowns while also rushing for 288 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished his college career with a 37-6 record as a starter and was a part of teams that made three National Championship Game appearances with two victories. Last season, Beck started all 16 games at Miami and led...

Las Vegas Raiders training camp is here and rookies report to the Intermountain Health Performance Center in Henderson, Nevada, on Thursday. That’s five days before the veterans follow them in, and that gap matters more than it looks on a calendar.

It’s Klint Kubiak‘s window to get a look at what he actually has before Kirk Cousins, Maxx Crosby and the rest of the established roster start eating up practice reps. Three names are worth building your camp-watch list around: Fernando Mendoza, Treydan Stukes and Mike Washington Jr.

This was a question we wanted to ask before we learned of Taylor Moton’s recent medical situation. Christensen has long been both a versatile offensive lineman and a fan favorite. With Moton set to miss an unspecified amount of time this season, Christensen’s availability and progress are of even greater interest t0 the Panthers.

Christensen has played in 59 games in his five seasons with the Panthers, including 34 starts. Six of those starts have been at tackle (all in 2021) and 28 have been across both guard positions in the years since. It is unclear if Moton’s pending absence...

The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms on a rookie contract with third-round quarterback Carson Beck, according to a report on Wednesday by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, leaving Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Drew Allar as the final remaining unsigned third-round pick from this year’s draft

Beck and Allar were the third and fourth quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, behind No. 1 overall selection Fernando Mendoza of the Las Vegas Raiders and No. 13 pick Ty Simpson of the Los Angeles Rams.

None of the top four quarterbacks had signed their rookie contracts with one week until most teams...

Following a quiet start to his Los Angeles Rams tenure, tight end Colby Parkinson broke out over the second half of last season. Parkinson’s breakout was a welcome sight for Rams fans, yet can he maintain his strong production moving into the 2026 campaign?

The reason Parkinson can maintain his production is that he’s received more opportunities in Hollywood in the passing game than he did in his first four years in Seattle.

In his final two years with the Seahawks, he was targeted 68 times, compared to 105 times with L.A. Parkinson had the best season of his career...

Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry were both hired by the Cleveland Browns in 2020. Stefanski won two NFL Coach of the Year awards, both times he took the Browns to the playoffs. But Stefanski was let go this offseason after leading Cleveland to just an 8-26 record in the past two years.

The only thing that may have saved the Browns from cleaning house and hiring a new general manager too could have been Berry’s excellent 2025 draft class. The Browns injected a vast amount of talent last year, where all seven picks not only made the roster, but contributed...
