The balmy summer air at Flowery Branch buzzes with anticipation as Atlanta Falcons fans pack open practices, their imaginations fueled by visions of star rookie Michael Penix Jr. gunning darts to Drake London, a healthy Bijan Robinson dominating on the ground, and a shored-up defensive front pacing an NFC South breakout. But beneath the optimism, a troubling undercurrent has emerged—a quarterback controversy that threatens to fracture the team’s identity and stall the Falcons’ momentum before Week 1 ever arrives.

A Quarterback Situation Teetering on the Edge

Atlanta’s most significant reason to panic is not a single injury, a contract...

The Dallas Cowboys entered training camp with more questions than answers at the running back position.

After a 2024 offseason that saw Rico Dowdle depart in free agency, the team appears to have completely revamped the running back room.

As training camp progresses, HC Brian Schottenheimer has begun to show genuine enthusiasm about what he’s seeing, particularly from rookie running backs Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah.

“I’ve been really impressed with how mature they are,” Schottenheimer said after Tuesday’s padded practice.

“Blue and Mafah don’t look like rookies right now. They’re sharp in meetings, they’re taking coaching well, and they’re...

Taking a look at a Jets pass rusher

The Jets recently signed former Buffalo Bills edge defender Kingsley Jonathan. Today we break Jonathan down in detail.

The 27-year-old Jonathan is listed at 6’4” and 260 pounds and was undrafted out of Syracuse in 2022. He has played in 20 NFL games, 15 of which were with the Buffalo Bills, and has racked up 10 tackles, three quarterback hits and a tackle for loss. He has also spent time with the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.

Background

Jonathan was a three-star high school recruit, who played outside linebacker and defensive end...

Stefon Diggs has never been short on talent or headlines. But as he embarks on his 11th NFL season and Adam’s first with the New England Patriots, the veteran wideout finds himself in pursuit of something bigger than just receptions and touchdowns. During a recent appearance on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, Diggs reacted to being just 72 receptions away from surpassing Antonio Brown for a spot in the top 25 on the NFL’s all-time receptions list.

“It’s very obtainable,” Diggs grinned. “I’m going to have to make some calls!”

72 receptions away from cracking the Top 25...

As the Arizona Cardinals charge into the blistering heat of Glendale for the 2025 NFL training camp, fans find themselves riding a wave of optimism. Franchise quarterback Kyler Murray looks sharp after a healthy offseason, second-year phenom Marvin Harrison Jr. routinely snags headlines (and passes) in spectacular fashion, and some analysts project the offense as a possible top-five unit. Yet, beneath all the positive vibes and hype, one chilling narrative has begun to overshadow even Murray’s dazzling highlights: the devastating blow to the Cardinals’ cornerback depth, and what that means for a defense fighting to keep pace in the loaded...

The Colts have added some much needed reinforcements to their banged up cornerback room at training camp.

With a depleted cornerback room, the Indianapolis Colts announced a number of roster moves on Thursday, signing cornerbacks Tre Herndon and Duke Shelley, while placing injured cornerback David Long on injured reserve.

The team also released tight end TE Albert Okwuegbunam Jr.

With both of their outside starting CB2 competitors currently battling hamstring injuries, Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents, the Colts have seen their training camp cornerback depth recently dwindle—especially with backup and special teamer Long also banged up.

Regarding Herndon, the 5’11,”...

The Pittsburgh Steelers got ahead of the Doppler with a 10 AM practice on Thursday, but after an intense first session in pads on Wednesday, the team didn’t put them back on for Thursday’s practice. WR Ben Skowronek sustained the only injury of note. Per Alex Kozora, he landed awkwardly after making a catch and […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick is back where his career began thanks to the trade which sent him from Pittsburgh to Miami. In the wake of that deal, the All-Pro safety worked out a restructured contract with the Dolphins.

As a result of the alterations to his pact, Fitzpatrick received a signing bonus to help take the place of money which was not previously guaranteed. No new years were added to his pact, though, so the decision to accelerate compensation for 2025 did not add any term to Fitzpatrick’s second Dolphins stint. The five-time Pro Bowler is currently set to see his...

ESPN’s Field Yates reports the Lions added $250k to LB Alex Anzalone‘s $6 million base salary for the 2025 season.

Yates adds the base salary is also guaranteed now, and Anzalone has added incentives to increase his earnings this year. The veteran linebacker is entering the final year of his contract and has been looking for a contract extension this offseason.

Anzalone, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Saints out of Florida back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $3.46 million contract and made a base salary of $809,000 in 2020.

He was testing the market as an...

Jayden Daniels simply cannot wait for the regular season to begin. Ahead of the second week of NFL training camp, the Washington Commanders quarterback could no longer contain his honest thoughts on the lengthy process.

The second-year quarterback candidly admitted to mental exhaustion from training camp when speaking to reporters on Thursday morning. Daniels could not believe that it had “only” been one week of training camp and joked that it had felt like three weeks.

“It’s only been a week of camp?” Daniels said, via NBC4 Sports. “Sheesh. It felt like three weeks.”

"It's only been a week...

The Los Angeles Rams are a week into 2025 NFL training camp, and there is already panic spreading. After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round, the team hoped to bounce back. But Rams training camp has gotten off to a poor start. Unfortunately, the top Rams quarterback in the organization might not be ready for the start of the 2025 NFL season.

Los Angeles is among the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season. Yet, losing the most important player on the field might hinder that possibility. There is no chance the Rams get as far...

Thor Griffith’s stay with Seattle proved very brief, with the team replacing the defensive tackle with a defensive back.

On Tuesday the Seattle Seahawks made a swap on the interior of their defensive line, signing undrafted free agent defensive tackle out of Louisville Thor Griffith and waiving former Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Justin Rogers.

It turns out Griffith’s stay with the Seahawks was very brief, with the team announcing Thursday ahead of hitting the field for practice that they had waived Griffith. Taking Griffith’s place on the roster, though, is not another big body for the interior of the defensive...
