Mike Tomlin defended George Pickens every step of the way. Publicly, he embraced the challenge of helping Pickens grow and mature, a young kid from Hoover, Alabama with sky-high potential. Ultimately, the decision to trade Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys didn’t come from ownership. It came from Tomlin himself. Laying out the catalysts for the […]

We finally know what numbers the rookies will be wearing!

One of the most exciting things following the annual NFL Drafts is the team’s revealing what numbers rookies will be wearing to kick off their NFL careers. Along with the Atlanta Falcons’ rookie numbers that we now know, we also have an overall update on new non-rookies who joined the team this offseason as well as current Falcons who changed their numbers. First though, let’s look at the rookies.

In case the Twitter/X link isn’t working above, Jalon Walker will wear No. 11, James Pearce Jr. will wear No. 27,...

The NFL has showcased many gifted passers in its history, but which QBs have the most regular-season passing TDs? Here are the top 10.

The Bengals are at a stalemate with Trey Hendrickson. The team has yet to meet his demand for a contract extension or a trade, which could lead him to hold out this summer, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Hendrickson is due $16MM in 2025, the final year of his contract. After leading the league in sacks on the way to a first-team All-Pro selection in 2024, he wants a new deal that pays him as one of the league’s top edge rushers and keeps him in Cincinnati for the foreseeable future. If the Bengals won’t pay him, he’d prefer to...

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a blockbuster trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens, leaving one team insider shocked at the move.

The Cowboys, who needed a WR2 to pair alongside CeeDee Lamb, sent a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick for Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Dallas bypassed adding a receiver in last month’s NFL Draft, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted to reporters that he was working on “substantive” trades.

The Athletic’s Cowboys insider Jon Machota told the “Scoop City” podcast that he was taken aback by the trade considering how conservative...

Commanders

The Commanders took Oregon OT Josh Conerly Jr. with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on top of acquiring Laremy Tunsil from the Texans. Mike Sando of The Athletic cites an anonymous executive who thinks Washington is “following the blueprint” on how to rebuild their offensive line.

“This is following the blueprint of how to fix an offensive line,” an executive said. “Throw all of your resources at the problem. I’m shocked they didn’t take another one, frankly.”

Another executive points out Conerly can line up at right guard or right tackle.

*“There is...

Bengals LB Germaine Pratt is likely on the trade block this offseason

If there’s one glaring flaw about this year’s Los Angeles Rams team, it’s the linebacking unit. The Rams’ front office failed to add anyone substantial this offseason, besides Chris Paul Jr. in the NFL draft. Given the striking lack of depth from an expected NFC contender, L.A. was suggested to “kick the tires” for an off-ball linebacker residing in the AFC.

In his May 6 column, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox named Cincinnati Bengals LB Germaine Pratt as an option for the Rams:

“The Los Angeles Rams may...

Tom Brady has had just over a year to reflect on his wildly popular and raunchy Netflix roast.

And it seems the legendary quarterback wouldn’t do something like it again due to the impact it had on his three children.

“There’s some things as a parent you (expletive) up and you don’t realize until after,” Brady said during Tuesday’s episode of Impaulsive, as transcribed by The Boston Globe’s Sarah Mesdjian.

Brady was the butt of jokes for three hours, much of which dove right into his personal life. Comedians repeatedly took uncensored shots at Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and the...

The contract standoff between the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson does not appear to be ending anytime soon...

As the Cincinnati Bengals commence OTAs, Trey Hendrickson is not present and likely won’t be for the foreseeable future.

Could this turn into a holdout that stretches not only into training camp but the regular season as well?

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler gave a brief update on Hendrickson, which did not paint a good picture of where things stand between the Bengals and their standout edge rusher.

There’s no update with defensive end Trey Hendrickson’s contract situation, which is at a stalemate. My...

The Patriots selected Swinson 146th overall out of LSU.

Looking at the New England Patriots’ draft through the eyes of the consensus big board, we can see that several players qualify for the “steal” label. Among them, one stands out: fifth-round draft choice Bradyn Swinson, who was picked 78 slots lower than his big board ranking.

Obviously, this shows some type of disconnect between how the analysts viewed Swinson as a draft prospect versus how the NFL saw him. However, it also means that from a pure on-field perspective, the Patriots were able to get a player regarded as a...

With George Pickens off to Dallas, the Pittsburgh Steelers are counting on second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson to make a Year 2 jump, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Fowler notes that Wilson looks like a different player this offseason, compared from his injury riddled rookie campaign.

Along with Wilson, the Steelers’ wide receivers room includes DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Robert Woods, Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller, Lance McCutcheon, Brandon Johnson, Ke’Shawn Williams and Roc Taylor. To say the least, the Steelers’ current crop of wide receivers leaves a lot to be desired.

The Steelers could bolster the WR corps...
