The Baltimore Ravens' concerns about edge rusher Maxx Crosby's health before nixing their deal with the Las Vegas Raiders were apparently more about his long-term durability rather than his viability for the 2026 season. Baltimore discovered that Crosby had a "degenerative knee issue" that would cause issues beyond the 2026 season during its medical exam of the star edge rusher, ESPN reported Tuesday. It had been reported that the Ravens […]

The New England Patriots used free agency a year ago to jump-start a foundation built around ascending quarterback Drake Maye and veteran head coach Mike Vrabel. They proved to be talented (and fortunate) enough to advance to the Super Bowl in their first year together. A few struggling teams from last season appear to be in a good spot to potentially follow that path to success in 2026. A handful […]

Lavonte David is retiring after playing all 14 seasons of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. David made the announcement Tuesday at the team’s practice facility. "I feel it’s time to move on and find a different path in life, be a dad to that amazing little girl over there," David said. "Having a girl helped me become a man, helped me understand what’s important in life." The […]

The NFL Draft is a month away, and pro days can yield the kind of ridiculous numbers that build intrigue around outside-the-box prospects you might have never heard of before. That's the case with UTSA kicker Jaffer Murphy, a former college soccer player who turned heads at the Roadrunners' pro day last week when he not only hit a 70-yard field goal, but then was timed at 4.50 seconds in […]

Bookmakers get creative when it comes to odds they make available for the NFL Draft. And among the most interesting and fun markets is Mr. Irrelevant. The player who's drafted with the final pick gets the Mr. Irrelevant distinction because, more often than not, his career in the league is a forgettable one. There are, of course, exceptions to that rule. But before we dive into some history, let's take […]

Not many positions have benefited from the NFL's ever-growing salary cap more than wide receiver, just ask Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Alec Pierce. Pierce and Smith-Njiba have been two of the biggest winners in the NFL this offseason, receiving either a new deal or an extension that will make them among the highest-paid in the game. Pierce re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts on a four-year, $116 million deal just minutes into […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba won Offensive Player of the Year and a Super Bowl title in 2025. Now, weeks into the 2026 offseason, the Seattle Seahawks' star is adding a new accolade to his name: highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. Smith-Njigba has agreed to a four-year, $168.6 million extension with the Seahawks that includes $120 million in guaranteed money, ESPN reported Monday. The contract will pay Smith-Njigba $42.15 million per year, […]

New Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is looking to be quarterback Cam Ward's best friend. "If you just watch the tape, him [Ward] being able to create plays outside of the pocket, that's what really stands out," Robinson said about signing with the Titans, according to ESPN. "For me, being that valuable target, always being able to be open for a guy. They [the Titans] told me that they […]

The Seattle Seahawks lost starting running back and Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. With that said, Seahawks President of Football Operations and General Manager John Schneider is bullish on the team's ability to replace Walker. "That’s a position where you can find guys," Schneider said on Thursday in an interview with 710 Seattle Sports when asked about the state of […]
