The New England Patriots have been struggling for multiple seasons since the end of their dominant championship run. Tom Brady last put on a Patriots uniform in the 2019 season and Bill Belichick is beginning a new chapter to his career with the University of North Carolina football team.

Head coach Mike Vrabel is trying to regain some of the luster that has been lost during the last five seasons. The Patriots have just one playoff appearance in that span and they were quickly dispatched in the 2021 Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. New England has finished in...

JJ McCarthy is expected to be the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2025-26 season, making his debut as the starter after being the club’s first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite nursing an injury all last season, expectations are high for McCarthy to lead Minnesota to a possible playoff appearance next season.

With OTAs underway, the 22-year-old quarterback is still figuring out the quarterback position at the pro level. Going into the second year of his career and being the Vikings’ starter, McCarthy was asked what his biggest goal is. The former Michigan Wolverine admitted that...

While they may have been internally preparing for the move all offseason, the Detroit Lions were still dealt a blow when four-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow retired earlier this week. The Lions did select former Georgia guard Tate Ratledge in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he has been seeing reps at center, but he’s never played a snap in the pros.

Thus, for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, the Lions may want to have a contingency plan in place to help make up for Ragnow’s loss. While center may not be as crucial as...

We saw another 2025 NFL Draft pick sign their rookie contract today:

Tennessee Titans

• WR Chimere Dike (fourth round, Florida)

The Titans became one of several teams today who are just a second-round signing away from completing their draft class. Dike was the first of three rookie wideouts that the Titans brought in for their No. 1 overall pick. Despite Dike having lower receiving numbers than both of the other rookie receivers, a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and a strong interview helped inform the Titans’ decision to take him as the first pick on Day 3 of the draft.

The New York Jets have moved on from Aaron Rodgers, a future Hall of Famer. So, how can they ensure this season goes better without the help of a four-time NFL MVP? The plan involves Justin Fields, who was signed to be the Jets’ new starting quarterback.

Yet, can Gang Green really be all that confident that Fields, who was a backup in Pittsburgh last season, will absolutely perform better than Rodgers? Their new quarterback may need a bit more help.

One way to accomplish that goal could be to heed NFL.com’s Brooke Cersosimo‘s advice to trade for Baltimore Ravens’...

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Aaron Rodgers, but he has not yet signed pending his arrival in Pittsburgh and a subsequent physical. How much will the future Hall of Famer play for? Ian Rapoport gave his expectations via NFL Network’s The Insiders this evening. “As […]

Here are today’s minor moves to close out the week:

Buffalo Bills

• Signed: DT Marcus Harris
• Waived: DT Devin Brandt-Epps

Philadelphia Eagles

• Claimed off waivers (from Jaguars): RB Keilan Robinson
• Waived: WR Ife Adeyi

Robinson was a surprising presence on the waiver wire after Jacksonville drafted him in fifth round of last year’s draft. A career backup running back at Alabama and Texas, Robinson was likely drafted for his special teams potential. He spent his last two collegiate years as the Longhorns’ primary kickoff returner but only appeared in six games and returned two kicks as...

With Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels leading the way, the Washington Commanders are expected to return as top contenders in the NFC. They already reached the NFC Conference Championship last year, but the goals are even higher heading into their second year together.

Though, we’ve seen several instances where teams come so close to their goals one year, only to fall off the map and fall short of expectations the next season. The Commanders want to ensure that doesn’t happen to them.

Recently, NFL.com columnist Jeffrey Chadiha suggested the Commanders should try swinging a trade for disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals pass-rusher...

Despite signing four-time league MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl odds did not change at most sportsbooks. In fact, the Steelers’ Super Bowl odds went unchanged at BETMGM (+4500). The Steelers (22-1) have the eighth-best odds to win the AFC and third-best odds (+600) to win the AFC North.

Pittsburgh’s win total for the 2025 season is set at 8.5.

There’s two reasons for why the odds were not altered. First, it was expected that Rodgers was going to sign with Pittsburgh (eventually). It really wasn’t a secret. Second, at 41 years of age, how much of...

Joy Taylor explains why Aaron Rodgers is not an upgrade for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He signed a one-year deal with the Steelers and is expected to attend the team's minicamp.
