Florio and Pablo Torre worked together to unearth Droney’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 Agreement. Foll ...26 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, say ...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
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 RB 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 playing a backup role on passing down ...

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

Shough is the frontrunner for the Saints’ starting job and believes he can work through adversity to take on the opportunity. When Derek Carr retired on May 10th, Shough said head coach Kellen Moore gave him “a bit of a heads-up” when Carr retired, preparing him for the opportunity to take the reigns. Though he will turn 26-years-old as a rookie, Shough’s college career working through injuries prepares him for the long days ahead in New Orleans. He will still need to earn the starting j ...25 June 2025
It’s a homecoming for Griffin, who played four years in Seattle after being drafted in the third round in 2017. Griffin has sinced bounced around the league with stops in Jacksonville, Houston, Carolina, and most recently Minnesota. He appeared in all 17 games for the Vikings in 2023 and totaled six pass breakups with two interceptions. Griffin was a top flight corner in his first Seattle stint and earned a Pro Bowl nod for his efforts in 2019. While he’s more of a rotational corner at this ...25 June 2025
The former fifth-round pick is most famous for receiving an indefinite ban in 2023 due to betting on NFL contests. He was reinstated after a year and had brief stints on the Bills and Texans’ rosters during the offseason. LA signed him to their practice squad in 2024 but he never appeared in a game for the team. Cephus will be fighting for a roster spot this summer if he signs elsewhere.25 June 2025

Goedert said Patullo has made tweaks to the run-heavy Philadelphia offense that could create more opportunity for the team’s pass catchers. “Throughout OTAs, I’ve really loved what he’s doing with the offense,” Goedert said when asked about Patullo, who took over the Eagles offense after Kellen Moore was hired as Saints head coach. “Little changes here and there and I’m really excited for the opportunity just to — with the connection I grew with him the last four years. What he s ...25 June 2025
DeFabo mentioned that Wilson during his collegiate career at Michigan “feasted on in-breaking routes over the middle of the field at Michigan, which should fit Rodgers’ skills.” Wilson will battle Calvin Austin for the team’s WR2 role behind DK Metcalf this season. Steelers wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni said recently that Austin will enter training camp as the clear-cut No. 2 wideout with “everyone else battling for a spot” in a receiver committee. Back in May, ESPN’s Jeremy Fo ...25 June 2025
Murray, per The Athletic, “has noticed a different comfort level with Harrison, a different confidence” in offseason workouts, along with a new physique after Harrison spent the winter bulking up. Murray and MHJ in 2024 had no chemistry whatsoever, especially on downfield shots, where Murray has struggled mightily for several seasons. Unless Harrison can manage to get more separation from defenders and see more intermediate and short targets from Murray, his fantasy prospects likely won’t ...25 June 2025
Per the report, Shapiro hopes to bring more sports, including NASCAR, to Pennsylvania, but is “very worried about the overall budget.” Both the Eagles and Steelers could someday be impacted by Shapiro’s decision but the Eagles’ Lincoln Field lease runs through 2032. It’s unclear whether renovations, strictly speaking, would fall under Shapiro’s “new” stadium policy, but there should be ample time to resolve the issue.25 June 2025
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hunter’s $46.65 million contract is fully guaranteed and his "$30.57 million signing bonus is paid entirely upfront. The latter aspect makes him “the first non-quarterback not drafted first overall to receive his entire signing bonus upfront.” Securing such a deal makes sense for a player who could lead his team in overall snaps this season. Hunter, 22, has practiced primarily with the Jacksonville offense this offseason, and Jaguars general manager James Gladst ...
