The San Francisco 49ers looked to upgrade several positions on the roster this season, with the defensive line being a key priority for the team.

The 49ers ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks last year, as injuries and talent issues derailed the team’s pass rush. Against the run, the 49ers were 20th in yards per carry, so there needed to be some improvements there as well.

Part of that would come from development. The 49ers drafted three defensive linemen last season, and we saw growth from them throughout the year. Mykel Williams, taken in the first round, was...

The New England Patriots got better this week, as they were finally able to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. For some time, it always felt like when, not if, Brown was getting traded to the Patriots, and it happened at the time that many people expected.

The writing seemed to be on the wall for Brown with the Eagles last season when he would go to the media and share his complaints about the offense, just for nothing to barely change when they got out on the field. Even when the Eagles were successful, Brown still shared his...

Who is your favorite Bears WR of all time?

Mine is easy – my former college teammate Brandon Marshall who set the franchise record for most receiving yards (1,508) and receptions (118) in single season.

If you have been around here long enough, you more than likely have seen me talk about how Brandon started at safety in college the year I...

Three years ago, Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt stated that he didn’t want to play for any coach during Hall of Fame career other than Mike Tomlin. For nine seasons, Watt did just that, building a tremendous career under Tomlin’s direction. But now, entering his 10th season, Watt is facing a significant adjustment […]

The Arizona Cardinals have a ton of changes since last year’s debacle of losing the most games in a single season in their 127-year franchise history.

New head coach, new offensive coordinator, new QB coach, new offensive quality control coach, new running backs coach, and new receivers coach. And that’s just the offensive side of the ball.

The new head coach, Mike LaFleur, is offensive-minded. He had a bucket list of what he needed from the franchise as they advanced the offense. GM Monti Ossenfort worked in the offseason and did a...

The Jets are making a change at the kicker spot. A deal has been lined up with Jason Sanders, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Fellow veteran Younghoe Koo is being released in a corresponding move.

Sanders was released by the Giants yesterday. He has certainly not needed to wait long to find his next opportunity, with a gig on New York’s other NFL franchise being arranged. Sanders joined the Giants this spring but all of his 118 career regular and postseason appearances have come as a member of the Dolphins.

The 30-year-old missed all of 2025 through injury. Sanders...

The Los Angeles Rams trade for Myles Garrett has been the talk of the sports world over the past two days. The move is seismic, adding the reigning Defensive Player of the Year to a roster that already features MVP Matthew Stafford. Also, an interesting conversation about whether Aaron Donald will return to the team has festered, seeming more than just chatter.

The Chargers have always been a team connected often to rewarding undrafted free agents who impress in camp with an active roster spot. From Antonio Gates to Austin Ekeler, there’s more than few notable names who went from afterthought to impact player for the Bolts.

Who will be that next player to defy the odds and find themselves sticking around in Los Angeles?

If you’re CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards, you believe former Oregon left tackle Isaiah World is that guy for the Chargers this year.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a busy offseason, hiring Mike McCarthy to be their new head coach, re-signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and recently, extending young star linebacker Nick Herbig on a new $100 million contract. The latest move gives the Steelers a key piece to build around on their defense for years to come.

Now, more is coming out about Herbig’s immediate reaction in the aftermath of the deal.

“Steelers OLB Nick Herbig says he was ‘born to be a Steeler’ after signing his new four-year extension,” reported Nick Farabaugh of PennLive on X, formerly Twitter.

Herbig was selected by...

Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby may never get to suit up in a college football game with his new team after transferring from Cincinnati. Now, after betting on several games while previously playing for the Indiana Hoosiers, it’s trending in the direction that Sorsby will lose his remaining college eligibility.

If so, graduating to the NFL may be his best option, that is, if Sorsby intends to continue his football career, which is the expectation.

Of course, since the 2026 NFL Draft has already passed, Sorsby’s arrival into the NFL gets a bit complicated. Like all other prospects intending to...

The New York Jets spent the better part of the past five decades searching for their next real franchise quarterback to follow in the hallowed footsteps of organizational icon Joe Namath.

Richard Todd, Ken O’Brien, Chad Pennington, Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, and Zach Wilson had varying degrees of success, though there were far more failures along the way. Veteran QBs who were stars in other cities, like Boomer Esiason, Neil O’Donnell, Vinny Testaverde, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Justin Fields also flamed out more than shined bright in New York.

Now, 10 years later, the Jets are running...

The Jets are releasing veteran kicker Younghoe Koo just days after he was signed. Another kicker, Jason Sanders, is being signed to take his roster spot.

The Jets signed Koo less than a week ago so it is a bit of a surprise to see him gone so quickly. Koo reportedly struggled at OTAs. Perhaps that played a bit into the team’s decision making, although my guess is the Jets just had Sanders higher rated.

Sanders became available yesterday after being unexpectedly cut by the Giants. He spent the first eight years of his career in the AFC East with...
