PFT’s Mike Florio and Pablo Torre worked together to unearth the system arbitrator’s January 14, 2025 ruling, which both the NFL and the NFL Players Association refused to release. Florio reminds us that the owners’ meeting in question happened only days after the Browns gave a five-year, fully-guaranteed, $230 million contract to quarterback Deshaun Watson and only two years after the NFLPA tried, again, to make all player contracts fully guaranteed via the new Collective Bargaining Agree ...30 June 2025
Per multiple sources, NFL teams were sharing salary data “for every job in every NFL team,” from head coaching and general manager positions, on down to area scouts and assistant athletic trainers. PFT’s Mike Florio adds, the official position is that the information is no longer being provided for legal reasons, ostensibly because sharing such data could theoretically provide the employer with an advantage in negotiations. Florio does not believe the practice has ended, however, saying, ...30 June 2025
Per the report, the request indicates that the Chiefs’ “potential move across the state line from Missouri is a legitimate possibility.” Some initially thought that the Chiefs and Royals, who both play at the Truman Sports Complex on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri, would use the Kansas offer as leverage for a better deal from Missouri, but the two organizations appear to be seriously considering a move to Kansas. Both teams’ leases expire in January 2031. The Kansas Legislative C ...30 June 2025
The Commanders huddled up on just 459 offensive snaps last season, the fewest in the NFL, though they promisingly averaged the fifth-most EPA per play (0.104) and EPA per dropback (0.204) on those snaps. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe adds that Daniels has been bulking up this offseason, “to handle the workload this year.” Daniels remains a high-end QB1 entering year two.

Harvey believes there will be a competition that includes Bhayshul Tuten, Tank Bigsby and LeQuint Allen, notably detailing the latter three players in that order. If the Jaguars feature three or more running backs, these players will be difficult to trust on a weekly basis, though Etienne’s potential pass-catching involvement provides at least mild stability.30 June 2025
The NFL hasn’t held a Supplemental Draft that ended in a player being picked since 2019. We’ve come a long way from the golden days of Tony Hollings, folks.30 June 2025
The cause for the arrest varies between sources. Members of the Los Angeles Police Department reportedly stopped a group of people, which included Lenoir, and observed a visible firearm located inside a parked car. The reason for the initial stop is unclear. Officers asked for the car keys, at which point an unidentified individual passed them to Lenoir, who passed them to another individual shortly after that, apparently rejecting the officers’ request. Lenoir was then arrested and booked bef ...30 June 2025
Tracy described Wilson simply as “Mr. Unlimited,” while referring to Winston as “the one that has the personality,” who "[connects] with everybody on the football team.” NFL’s Nick Shook acknowledges that “most expect Wilson to earn the job and trot out onto the field as the team’s starter in Week 1,” but Tracy’s commentary reflects an apparent lack of buy-in from Wilson’s teammates. Though it is reasonable to expect rookie Jaxson Dart to get the starting nod at some point ...30 June 2025
Pelissero broke down the potential extension’s annual value, saying, Parsons “knows [exactly the] type of contract” that he is going to get because, “by Micah’s own words, he and Jerry Jones had, essentially, a handshake agreement on a deal months ago.” The issue is that Jones “is a believer in doing long-term deals,” lasting up to five or even six years. Pelissero stopped short of putting a number to Parsons’ desired contract length but noted that both Dak Prescott and CeeDee ...30 June 2025
Browns DE Myles Garrett, Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt and Hendrickson entered the offseason seeking contract extensions from their current teams. Only Garrett, who signed a record-setting deal, averaging $40 million annually while netting him $88.8 million fully guaranteed, received one. The three players range from 29-to-30 years old. Per Pelissero, Hendrickson has “not been asking [to be paid more than] Myles Garrett,” however, “if T.J. Watt, and Micah Parsons for that matter, outshoot Myles ...30 June 2025
Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Pelissero explains that the Bengals’ participation agreement “did not provide the same level of protection as [what] other teams give their rookies.” The protection language ensures “that you are taken care of financially,” if “something were to happen, injury or otherwise.” Knight, the Bengals’ second-round pick, and the front office agreed to a contract after Knight skipped the first offseason practice, which caused less of an issue than Stewart ...30 June 2025
Bair was responding to a reader who asked whether the Bears are “in trouble” with Burden having missed so much of the offseason after landing on a football awkwardly. In short, Bair does not think so. Bair referred to Burden as “an X factor,” saying he “is still a dangerous weapon, one that can be impactful outside or in the slot.” While the slot role will provide Burden with opportunities to run routes against linebackers and safeties, mastering the perimeter role is key for fantasy ...30 June 2025
Per ESPN’s Jeff Legwold, “Payton expects the depth chart to automatically reveal itself” during training camp, when all running backs on the roster are “going to get opportunities.” Reports immediately following J.K. Dobbins’ signing suggested the veteran back could snatch the starting role from rookie RJ Harvey. Legwold believes “Dobbins likely has the early advantage for the most snaps in the room because of his ability as a pass blocker and intelligence on third down,” but Pay ...29 June 2025
ESPN’s Nick Wagoner detailed Jones’ three-week offseason onboarding process, which transpired after the 26-year-old quarterback signed a two-year, $7 million contract in March. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, Kubiak and QB coach Mick Lombardi spent the duration breaking down “cutups of Jones’ previous film” and showing Jones “tape of other signal callers,” with a focus on “things like the footwork needed to succeed in the offense.” Learning and executing the basics of Shanahan ...29 June 2025
As ESPN’s Adam Schefter noted, Licht is the league’s fifth-longest tenured traditional general manager, though a few de facto managers have been around longer. Licht has held the title since 2014. The early years were ugly for his front office with just one winning campaign through five years. Licht then signed the greatest quarterback of all time and instantly won a Super Bowl. Licht might not deserve loads of credit for signing Tom Brady. Any manager would do so in a heartbeat. But his pos ...29 June 2025
The team signed K Andre Szmyt in a corresponding move. Okoronkwo was reportedly available via trade ahead of the draft but nothing came of it. He played a pass-rush specialist role in Cleveland last year and tallied three sacks. He should be able to find a similar gig before training camp, but a starting role is likely out of the picture.29 June 2025
The agreement comes just four days ahead of the June 30 deadline, with the two sides settling on a $470 million renovation project aimed at maintaining a “best-in-class NFL stadium that attracts major concerts and events to Cincinnati.” Per the Bengals’ website, the team agrees to invest $120 million in the renovation project, covering 75 percent of new improvements to the stadium. The deal includes 10 additional option years that could extend the lease through June 2046, though it is uncl ...29 June 2025
Glenn previously complimented Taylor’s ability to catch the ball away from his body and the quickness with which he gets “north and south” after the catch. The new comments regarding Taylor’s development as a blocker are equally noteworthy. If Taylor can establish himself as his position group’s best run blocker, he will remain on the field for the high-value play-action passing plays. Among the tight end position’s 2,778 receptions recorded last year, 853 (30.7 percent) were caught ...29 June 2025
Tucker was released by the Ravens in early May, roughly three months after 16 massage therapists accused Tucker of sexual misconduct. The suspension is the culmination of a multi-month investigation conducted by the NFL. Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Tucker may still sign with a team and “attend training camp and play in preseason games before the suspension starts” on August 26. He will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11.27 June 2025
