Two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons has retired from the NFL following a nine-year career, including eight seasons with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos announced Simmons' retirement on Wednesday and noted the news came exactly 10 years after the team selected the safety in the third round from Boston College in 2016. Though Simmons started 16 games for the Atlanta Falcons in his final season in 2024, when he had […]

We're right in the middle of the NFL offseason, but there seems to be a clear team to beat emerging. Colin Cowherd agrees with that sentiment. In the latest edition of the Herd Hierarchy, Cowherd placed a team that's been at No. 1 in several other power rankings in his top spot as well. However, Cowherd thinks that a Super Bowl contender had a sneaky good draft to move them […]

Dallas Cowboys defensive back and first-round pick Caleb Downs was so dominant in college that he got bored. Like, literally. "Yeah, I'll honestly say, yes, [I got bored with] the ball not coming my way," Downs said when asked if he got "bored" by teams not targeting him in college in an interview with 105.3 The Fan. "Maybe the talent [isn't] as good that week. You don't always play high-level […]

The 2026 NFL Draft might not have had the juice that some other recent draft classes have had, but there were still several enticing storylines that developed around the league over the three-day event this weekend. No storyline had people around the league buzzing more than what the Los Angeles Rams did with the 13th overall pick, though. After the Rams surprisingly took Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with their first-round […]

The 2026 NFL Draft is over, and 257 players — from first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to "Mr. Irrelevant" Red Murdock — had their names called this weekend. Many other notable prospects did not, though, and will have to find their first professional home through free agency. Shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft ended on Saturday, undrafted prospects began to find NFL homes. While undrafted free agents are typically less […]

Red Murdock is the 2026 NFL Draft's "Mr. Irrelevant." The Denver Broncos selected the Buffalo linebacker with the 257th and final pick to officially close out this year's draft. The two-time first-team All-MAC player became the Broncos' seventh pick to complete their draft class, but he's actually a relatively accomplished player for someone who is "Mr. Irrelevant." He holds the NCAA record for career forced fumbles with 17. Murdock had […]

Editor's note: This story was originally published ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. While headlining names like Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love and Carnell Tate will steal the spotlight in the first round of the NFL Draft, Days 2 and 3 should still bring plenty of excitement, as teams look to find hidden gems in the later rounds.

Los Angeles seemed poised to select a receiving weapon to benefit quarterback Matthew Stafford this season, but they found a signal-caller for the future. Initially, it didn't seem like the Simpson pick appeared to be a satisfying choice for head coach Sean McVay. Following […]
