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 ...27 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 ...27 June 2025
Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Pelissero explains that the Bengals’ training camp 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 training camp practice, which caused less of an ...27 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 ...

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 ...27 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 ...27 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 ...27 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.27 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.27 June 2025
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.27 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 ...27 June 2025
The Commanders and Mayor Muriel Bowser had previously asked the D.C. Council to vote on the proposal by July 15, but the hearings will delay the vote, much to the chagrin of team officials. Per The Washington Times, Commanders officials said this week that any delay—even a few weeks for a council vote—could jeopardize the planned 2030 opening date. D.C. Council chairman Phil Mendelson dismissed the concerns and proposed legislation that would separate the stadium legislation from budget nego ...27 June 2025
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 ...27 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, ...27 June 2025
The Athletic’s Dan Pompei’s touching profile on Irving’s relationship with Buccaneers offensive consultant Tom Moore details Irving’s diligent offseason habits and, critically, indicates Irving could play even better than he did in his 2024 rookie season. Buccaneers running backs coach Skip Peete celebrated Irving’s “great vision,” elusiveness and ability to generate explosive gains. Irving finished as the PPR RB13 last season, despite officially starting just three games and playi ...27 June 2025

Corley’s absence early in the offseason while he deals with an undisclosed injury has not helped. Jets OC Tanner Engstrand is quoted in the story as saying Corley is “going to have to find a way to catch himself up.” The previous coaching staff also reportedly wasn’t enamored with him after drafting him, noting his route running lacked precision and Cimini writing that his “maturity also came under scrutiny, with some in the organization privately questioning his approach.” Corley is ...27 June 2025
The Jaguars have a running back situation that could best be described as “in flux” with Travis Etienne on the final year of his rookie deal and Tank Bigsby not exactly establishing himself in the early-down role last season. Management brought on Tuten and LeQuint Allen in the draft, where Jaguars GM James Gladstone made drafting Tuten early a part of his elevator pitch to Jaguars management during his interview. Eventually we’d bet on Tuten getting a shot at a big role in this backfield. ...
