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
Harvey believes “there will be competition for playing time” 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.

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). 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
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
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. ...27 June 2025
Johnson said, “I’ve been seeing Kenny going like right now with the ones...I think they are going to stick with him through the preseason.” Pickett has been taking snaps with the starters in camp and Johnson confirms this to be the case, with veteran Joe Flacco rotating in after. Pickett flamed out as a starter with the Steelers, tossing 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 24 starts over two seasons. He was the Eagles’ backup for their championship run last season and now seems to be g ...26 June 2025

The Commanders and Mayor Muriel Bowser had previously asked the D.C. Council to vote on the proposal by July 15th, 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 ...26 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 ...26 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.26 June 2025
General manager Jason Licht also got a new deal. ESPN’s Adam Schefter didn’t have the exact details of the contracts, but it’s safe to assume both men will be in Tampa Bay for a long time. Bowles spent three years as the Bucs’ defensive coordinator and won a Super Bowl in the role during Tom Brady’s run with the team. Head coach Bruce Arians retired ahead of the 2022 season and Bowles was promoted in his place. He has a 27-24 record since taking over with playoff appearances in all thr ...26 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 ...26 June 2025
