Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is sitting out organized team activities to land a contract extension that will make him one of the highest-paid NFL players at his position. The lack of progress in negotiations reportedly might stem from talks earlier this offseason.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote that while the Bills’ front office attempted to negotiate a contract extension with Cook this offseason, the two sides evidently were ‘never really close’ on a deal.

Would Rams trade Beaux Limmer or Dylan McMahon to Lions after Frank Ragnow retired?

The Detroit Lions will be without their Pro Bowl center for the 2025 season following Frank Ragnow’s abrupt retirement. While Detroit drafted interior lineman Tate Ratledge in the second round, he was previously expected to compete for a starting job at left guard and provide depth along the inside of the offensive line.

Fortunately, the Los Angeles Rams have ample depth at center and are frequent trade partners with the Lions. Could Les Snead and Brad Holmes connect on another move that ends up as a...

The Denver Broncos have solid depth at safety and JL Skinner is a guy who fills that depth and plays strong special teams.

Under Sean Payton, the Denver Broncos have transformed their secondary into one of the most scary looking units since the No Fly Zone — on paper, anyway. They have a strong starting lineup, but also have filled out their depth with some good, young talent. One of those guys being Boise State alum, JL Skinner.

Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell said that he’s “not worried” about the Lions taking a step back this season after losing coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth discuss the expectations for Detroit this season and if they can live up to them.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus revealed the preferred destination of Miami Dolphins trade candidate tight end Jonnu Smith.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in talks with the Miami Dolphins to potentially trade for Pro Bowl tight end Jonnu Smith. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, revealed Smith’s preferred destination on Monday.

“Here’s what I will say on behalf of my client: Jonnu would definitely like to stay in Miami,” Rosenhaus said on WSVN-7. “That’s his first choice. This is where he lives in the offseason.”

Smith, 29, is coming off the best season of his NFL career. In 2024, when he recorded a career-high...

Lions center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, saying "it’s time to prioritize my health."

Patrick Mahomes, Micah Parsons, Derrick Henry and others are within reach of career milestones this season. Here are 10 to keep an eye on.

It’s no secret playing football for a living takes a toll on your body, and there have been a number of players who seemingly had plenty of seasons left in the tank who’ve unexpectedly retired in recent years—a list that has now grown after Lions center Frank Ragnow made the fairly surprising decision to hang up his cleats just a less than a month after his 29th birthday.

In 2019, Andrew Luck blindsided the Colts and basically every NFL fan when he announced he was retiring at the age of 29 just a couple of weeks before he was supposed...

Following their wedding, New York Governor Kathy Hochul congratulated Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld on their marriage.

She took to X, formerly Twitter, to quote post Pop Base’s post about Allen and Steinfeld’s wedding. “Congrats to a real New York power couple,” she wrote with Bills red and blue heart emojis. “Go Bills.”

Of course, Allen is the quarterback of the Bills, one of New York’s football teams, and Hochul wants to show her support of the star.

The Steelers always find their way into contention

Before we delve into this take, I want to mention at least the elephant in the room: I still think Aaron Rodgers is likely to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But recent takes from national analysts have me wanting to touch on this idea that the Steelers would be the bottom dweller in the AFC North with Mason Rudolph.

CBS NFL analyst Pete Prisco went as far to say that Rudolph “stinks.”

“Mason Rudolph, not very good,” Prisco said. I’ll be honest with you, he’s a backup quarterback. By...

It’s been a drama-filled week for the New England Patriots when it comes to Stefon Diggs and his boat situation, but things may become a little clearer now after this latest development.

Diggs was spotted at the Patriots’ voluntary OTAs, and though he may not be able to put all this stuff to the side right now, it’s good to see him out with the team through all the noise.

Head coach Mike Vrabel spoke about the situation when it first came out, and he wanted to keep those conversations between him, Diggs, and the organization.

“It’s something we’re aware...

One of the most important things for the Cowboys in 2025 is going to be health.

The Dallas Cowboys can change the coaching staff and upgrade the roster, but the one thing they can't do is prevent injuries from happening no matter how hard they try. They learned that the hard way last year in 2024 when the injury bug bit them hard.

Throughout the season last year, several key players missed time due to one nagging injury or another. Some of those injuries were more severe than others, landing several players on injured reserve. Dallas' offense and defense suffered...
