Ruggs is eligible for parole in August 2026 after being sentenced to three years in prison for felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. There’s a chance the NFL commissioner’s office may suspend him again — that’s unclear and the league office said they’d “review” the matter — but Ruggs would only be 27 at that point and could receive a second chance. It would almost undoubtedly be a situation where Ruggs was fighting for a roster spot, but assuming he ear ...24 June 2025
Despite the fact that we’re now 23 days past the post-June 1 cap hit coming into play, Ramsey has been caught in a value calculus. Teams are wary of overpaying for him in light of absorbing the remainder of his contract. Breer believes a trade will happen “on the doorstep of camp.” The Rams and Chargers were leaked to Adam Schefter as Ramsey’s preferred landing spots.24 June 2025
“Any doubts about him having a notable role were erased in the first week of OTAs, when he could be seen running drag routes or matching up with linebackers in the middle of the field,” Holder continued. Warren hasn’t really gotten much attention in early best ball leagues, usually winding up as a late dart throw outside of the top-10 tight ends. It’s certainly possible that he makes that look silly despite the lack of early success by rookie tight ends historically.24 June 2025
Notably, Laine adds that she expects the role to be big even after Chris Godwin returns from ankle surgery. Egbuka has been fed in the short passing game and at times has looked “like a running back once the ball is in his hands.” It’s possible that Egbuka eats heavily into Jalen McMillan’s target share in 2025. Egbuka seems like a pretty interesting pick in best ball at this point, often going outside of the top-40 receivers.

Mitchell returned from a devastating knee injury late last season but clearly wasn’t trusting his knee completely at that point. Zrebiec also adds that Mitchell is “far too explosive not to get utilized.” That doesn’t necessarily mean Derrick Henry’s workload is getting scaled back a bit, but a healthy Mitchell certainly puts that into the range of outcomes if he performs well.24 June 2025
“What better place to finish than one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL?” he said. Rodgers, 41, says his 21st NFL season will be his last. After testing the waters with the Vikings and Rams, Rodgers landed in Pittsburgh on a one-year deal and has reportedly looked good in offseason practices. Rodgers is coming off perhaps his worst season as a pro with a dysfunctional Jets team and will helm a run-first Arthur Smith offense in Pittsburgh. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported last week that ...24 June 2025
“Strange had a strong offseason and will do multiple things in Coen’s system,” Jacksonville.com’s Juston Lewis said of Strange, who last season caught 40 passes for 411 yards and two touchdowns, logging ten starts. “He’s been toted for his blocking ability, something Coen will lean heavily on in the rushing game.” It’s a good sign that Strange, entering training camp atop the Jaguars’ tight end depth chart, will see consistent playing time in 2025. Lewis said Strange will “li ...24 June 2025
The veteran long snapper most recently played for the Texans but has also seen stints with the Patriots, Dolphins, Cowboys, Jaguars, and Commanders during his three-year NFL career. He’ll try to wrest a job from Christian Kuntz in training camp.24 June 2025
DiCecco said several Eagles players this spring have suggested that the team’s offense under Patullo could be more balanced after being among the NFL’s run-heaviest units in 2024. The Philly offense would still revolve around Saquon Barkley following his 2,005 rushing yards in 2024, though the team could try to “preserve” the centerpiece of their offense with a slightly lighter workload in 2025. Barkley, 28, last season recorded 378 touches, the most of his NFL career. More passing for t ...23 June 2025
The veteran long snapper most recently played for the Texans but has also seen stints with the Patriots, Dolphins, Cowboys, Jaguars, and Commanders during his three-year NFL career. He slides in behind Christian Kuntz on the team’s depth chart and should provide valuable experience at one of the game’s most underrated positions.23 June 2025
“I came here because of him,” said Wilson about Nabers during a panel at Fanatics Fest over the weekend. “I really wanted to play with someone who is special like him.” As a rookie in 2024, Nabers was targeted 170 times, which was second-most among NFL wide receievers. He also led the Giants with 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Wilson, who will turn 37 years old during the 2025 season, had only one player with 100/1000/7 in a single season (Tyler Lockett in 2020). Wi ...23 June 2025
As Keefer notes in the article, Andy Reid “made a point of it all spring” for the Chiefs to “get back to pushing the ball deep down the field.” Per PFF, since 2021, Patrick Mahomes has ranked 21st or lower in ADOT (min. 300 dropbacks), but finished sixth in ADOT in 2018 when he broke out for 5,097-50-12 on his way to winning his first MVP. A lot has changed since Mahomes last aired it out at a high rate. Most notably is the departure of Tyreek Hill in 2022 and Travis Kelce no longer bein ...23 June 2025
Jones and Anthony Richardson are supposed to compete for the QB1 job in camp. While Richardson recently said he expects to be ready to go by camp, an offseason shoulder surgery has slowed his progress for the upcoming season, and opened the door for Jones to work almost exclusively with the first team offense. Whether or not Richardson can participate in camp will obviously weigh heavily in how this competition unfolds, but if he can outperform Jones is another question entirely. Jones has strug ...23 June 2025
Schefter said Ramsey “would like to go to the West Coast,” and specifically named Los Angeles as the ideal city. Schefter also believes a deal should happen before training camps begin in mid-July. Both the Rams and Chargers have more than $20 million available in salary cap space this year, which should make a new deal doable if Ramsey requests one post-trade, though he is under contract through 2028 on his current deal.23 June 2025
Richardson said he expects to be ready for training camp, which aligns with a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport from a few weeks ago that said Richardson is “expected to be fine” by the start of camp. Richardson downplayed his most recent injury, saying it was “not really even a bump in the road” and that he has “hit the ground running again.” The former No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft is expected to battle Daniel Jones for the Colts’ starting job this summer, and i ...23 June 2025
Johnson will buy his stake from American businessman Jon Textor. According to reports, the deal is worth $254 million pending approval from the Premier League and Women’s Super League. The move will make Johnson partners with two other NFL owners as Commanders principal owner Josh Harris and minority owner David Blitzer own the majority stake in the team along with Steve Parish. The 78-year-old Johnson, who served as United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 2017 to 2021, previously ...23 June 2025
The Chiefs’ 2025 first-round pick participated in offseason practices and minicamp, which are noncontact events. The offensive line is currently three-deep at offensive tackle, with free agent-signee OT Jaylon Moore penciled in at left tackle and incumbent OT Jawaan Taylor in place at right tackle. Simmons has a chance to supplant Taylor at some point this season and will hopefully become a fixture in front of Patrick Mahomes at some point. Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in the middle ...23 June 2025
In the 2024 regular season, Kelce was on the field for the third-highest snap count (939) and ran the fourth-most routes (575) of his career, so this is good news for fantasy purposes. Reid acknowledged Kelce is “getting older” and that he is willing to “be the bad guy in some cases” by pulling Kelce off the field when he needs to. While Kelce is a long shot to finish as the overall TE1, he seemingly remains a safe bet to produce a top-12 positional finish.23 June 2025
This is slightly new wording on Mixon’s injury. It was previously said that he should be “ready for training camp.” Wilson also adds that Mixon “aggravated” the “foot and ankle” injuries he dealt with last year. Only an ankle-related issue had been mentioned earlier this month and it was initially thought to be an isolated event, unrelated to past issues. As long as Mixon does indeed return during training camp, he should have ample time to ramp up for light work in preseason play ...23 June 2025
Both Rodgers and OC Arthur Smith are students of “Matt LaFleur’s Shanahan-style offense,” so the two should theoretically gel well. Rodgers is well past his prime, however, and DeFabo believes Metcalf’s speed could help alleviate age-related concerns. Though Metcalf performed poorly on slant routes last year, he has generally performed very well on them throughout his career. On qualifying routes, he’s caught 75-of-109 targets for 844 yards and six touchdowns while averaging more than ...
