Last week, it was announced that the New Orleans Saints and running back Alvin Kamara came to an agreement on a restructured contract which ensures that the 30-year-old will indeed play this season and likely finish his NFL career in the black and gold.
However, the Saints also signed former running back Travis Etienne during free agency in the offseason. Etienne is expected to do the heavy lifting and take over the starting role but it’s one that Kamara will not walk away from easily.
Kamara’s former teammate Terron Armstead revealed on his podcast, “The Set”, that the star running...

Windy City Gridiron
Harold Landry will need some extra time before he hits the practice field. According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots have placed the veteran linebacker on the active/physically unable to perform list. Tight end C.J. Dippre also landed on active/PUP, while running back Terrell Jennings was placed on active/non-football injury list.

Before suffering the season-ending injury, the Louisville product was having a standout 2025 season, hauling in 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns.

We all know who the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback will be this season, but the battle for the backup job may be training camp’s most anticipated competition.

I don’t have a whole lot to say about this because this report is very limited and coming from Canada where I have zero knowledge of their laws, but it is the day before training camp and this could impact the Arizona Cardinals ability to have their full staff reporting.
Isaiah Adams was listed among four people charged with a bevy of gun charges:
I want to be very clear, I do not know what this means, but anytime an athlete is arrested for gun possession, it is serious and should be taken as such.
I don’t know what this...

Pro Football Focus produced its latest rankings of the NFL’s best wide receivers this week, and Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf came in at No. 26. That’s not bad in the overall context of the league, but it means that Metcalf was rated as one of the worst No. 1 wide receivers.
While PFF rankings are never the end-all, be-all when it comes to evaluating players, this ranking does reflect the way a lot of people view Metcalf right now. He’s still a very good receiver, but he hasn’t quite lived up to the investment the Steelers made when they...
When it comes to rivalries, the Cincinnati Bengals have some of the NFL’s best.
There’s always going to be animosity between division rivals, but the Bengals have two of the league’s most heated rivalries with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Anytime the Bengals face one of them, emotions run high, as those matchups typically have playoff implications, and these teams frankly hate each other with a passion.
And we can’t forget about the battle of Ohio with the Cleveland Browns, even if they have struggled to stay relevant compared to Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
But when it comes to the...
