Bears To Restart Trade Talks On Quarterback
The Chicago Bears turned down trade interest in backup quarterback Tyson Bagent once already this year. That door may not be fully closed. Per Jason La Canfora , multiple teams called Chicago about Bagent back in February, and the Bears "brushed off" the talks before signing him to a new contract that runs through the 2027 season. With Bagent now firmly behind Caleb Williams on the depth chart and the Bears also carrying veteran Case Keenum, the door to revisiting those conversatio...
Giants Running Back Surprisingly Losing Grip On Roster Spot
A New York Giants running back who looked like a lock for a real role just weeks ago now finds himself fighting to make the roster at all. Per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post , Tyrone Tracy Jr. could be on the outside looking in for a spot on New York's 53-man roster as the preseason winds down, following two costly mistakes in as many games. Pair Of Rough Outings Tracy's preseason has gone sideways fast. In the opener against Minnesota on August 15, he managed just two carries for thre...
Multiple Teams Circling Steelers' Unsigned Star Corner
Joey Porter Jr.'s contract standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers has turned into a league-wide storyline. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz , multiple teams around the league have wondered about Porter as a potential trade target. "JPJ is in the final year of his rookie contract, and with where the CB market is, teams have wondered if Pittsburgh could ultimately be open to a move with the Pro Bowl caliber corner," Schultz reported. Market That's Exploding Around Him Seattle just made De...
Cowboys Linebacker Becomes Trade Candidate After Signing
The Dallas Cowboys ' decision to sign Von Miller has created a roster crunch, and linebacker Marist Liufau is the player caught in the middle of it. Per Bleacher Report's Moe Moton , Liufau carries a 9-out-of-10 probability of being traded before the August 30 roster cuts deadline, tied for the highest mark among any player Moton flagged across the league. The Math Doesn't Work For Him Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, rookie first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, Miller, and James Houston are a...
Texans Make Trade Calls On AFC Rival's Receiver
The Houston Texans didn't wait long to start searching for a replacement after losing Jayden Higgins for the season. Per KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson , Houston has made "exploratory trade calls" around the league, with New England Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte among the names they've asked about. Per the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander, those calls have so far been about gauging price rather than finalizing anything. Sources have described the Texans' outreach as inquiries in...
Texans' CJ Stroud Has Reported Astronomical Asking Price For Next Contract
C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are far apart in contract talks, and a fresh report suggests the gap is even wider than expected. Per Jeremy Branham of ESPN 97.5 in Houston, the Texans have offered Stroud something in the range of $50 million to $55 million annually. Stroud, according to the same report, is seeking $70 million per year, a number that would instantly make him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by average annual value. The Number Raised Eyebrows The current...
49ers' Could Make Surprising QB Trade
The San Francisco 49ers thought they had their quarterback room settled. Brock Purdy starting, Mac Jones as arguably the league's best backup, and one more arm needed for camp depth. Then Kurtis Rourke happened. Per the San Francisco Chronicle's Rick Barrows , Rourke's dazzling preseason debut last week has increased the odds San Francisco trades Jones before the NFL's Nov. 10 deadline, though that is explicitly described as informed opinion rather than a sourced report. What Rourke Ac...
Multiple Teams Have Checked In On Giants Receiver
The New York Giants have a receiver other teams keep asking about. Per USA Today's Art Stapleton , teams around the league have checked in about trading for Darnell Mooney. Why He's Drawing Calls Mooney signed a one-year deal with New York in March worth up to $10 million, but only $1.215 million of that is guaranteed salary, with the Giants on the hook for a $1.785 million signing bonus regardless of what happens next. That structure makes him relatively cheap to acquire, since ...
3 Teams Calling Packers About Same Cornerback
The Green Bay Packers have a starting cornerback drawing outside interest. Per Easton Butler, three teams have reached out to the Packers about the availability of Carrington Valentine: the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, and Cincinnati Bengals. Valentine is entering the final year of his rookie deal, scheduled to make $3.7 million this season. How This Started The Steelers beat the Packers 28-9 last Thursday, getting a firsthand look at Valentine before turning around and calli...
Texans Lose Rising Young Receiver For The Season
The Houston Texans will be without one of their most promising young weapons for all of 2026. Wide receiver Jayden Higgins tore his ACL during joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, and will miss the entire season. Higgins initially walked off under his own power after what looked like a lower-leg injury, but the diagnosis turned out to be far more serious. Breakout Season Cut Short Higgins, the No. 34 overall pick in the 2025 draft out of Iowa State, was coming off a very promis...
Giants Cut Former Super Bowl Champion Off Roster
JuJu Smith-Schuster's time with the New York Giants is over before it really got started. The Giants plan to release the veteran wide receiver, in a corresponding move as the team signs running back Najee Harris. Smith-Schuster had been with New York for just over two months, having signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with no guaranteed money on June 2. Roster Spot That Never Materialized The writing had been on the wall for a while. Smith-Schuster was already listed as a fourth-str...
Retired Veteran Un-Retires, Snubs Expected Team For Falcons
Za'Darius Smith's retirement lasted less than a year, and his comeback didn't go where nearly everyone expected. The three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher is signing a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons , worth $6 million with incentives up to $8 million. Just two days earlier, Smith appeared headed to the Cleveland Browns instead. Deal That Fell Apart At The Finish Line Per Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Smith worked out for the Browns last Thursday, and the expectation was he'd be s...
Cowboys Not Done After Von Miller, New Target Emerges
The Dallas Cowboys aren't finished adding to their defense. Roughly 30 minutes after news broke Sunday that the team had agreed to terms with Von Miller, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Dallas has also "explored cornerback help" in free agency, naming Adoree' Jackson as the player to watch. Per Pro Football Rumors, nothing is imminent on the Jackson front, but Fowler reports the veteran corner is fielding interest "from a few teams" as roster cuts approach. Connection Predates This Week ...
Free Agent Najee Harris Visits Team With Crowded Backfield
Najee Harris took a visit with the New York Giants , according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, his first known team meeting since the spring. The veteran running back hasn't played in an NFL game since tearing his Achilles in Week 3 of last season with the Los Angeles Chargers , a brutal ending to a one-year deal after he'd never missed a game in his first four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why New York Per The Athletic's Dan Duggan , the Giants were floated as a team that could look to a...
3 Teams Have Called Buccaneers About Vita Vea
Vita Vea's contract standoff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has officially attracted outside interest, even as the team insists he isn't going anywhere. Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo , the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers have all inquired about Vea's availability, with a few other teams checking in as well. "Teams have called the Buccaneers to see if they're interested in trading him," Garafolo said. "But the Buccaneers continue to say internally, they are not trad...
Bears' $40M Free-Agent Bet Suffers Massive Setback
The Chicago Bears ' biggest defensive investment of the offseason just took a devastating hit. Safety Coby Bryant underwent knee surgery on August 7 and will be out four to six months, head coach Ben Johnson confirmed, a timeline that could wipe out most or all of his first season in Chicago. Bryant hyperextended his left knee during one-on-one drills on August 3 and was carted off the field. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the injury included a bone bruise and small fracture. Initially,...
Seahawks Sign Controversial Former First-Rounder
The Seattle Seahawks are signing cornerback Terrion Arnold, adding a talented but legally embattled player to the reigning Super Bowl champions' roster. Arnold met with the Seahawks this past weekend, a session head coach Mike Macdonald called a "great visit, a great tryout." He'd also taken visits with the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, and New York Giants before choosing Seattle. Legal Situation He's Bringing With Him The Detroit Lions drafted Arnold 24th overall in 2024 and r...
Vikings Advancing On J.J. McCarthy Trade Talks
J.J. McCarthy's status with the Minnesota Vikings changed fast this week, and the Los Angeles Chargers have quickly emerged as the team to watch if a trade materializes. The Vikings named Kyler Murray their Week 1 starter on Tuesday, as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, ending any real competition before a single preseason snap was played. That decision has cast McCarthy's future in Minnesota into serious doubt. Chargers The connection runs through Jim Harbaugh, who coached McCarthy ...
49ers Sign Former Raiders Starting Running Back Amid Backfield Crisis
The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back Zamir White, addressing a backfield that's been hit hard by injuries all week. In corresponding moves, San Francisco also signed defensive lineman Xavier Thomas, waived wide receiver Junior Bergen and punter Jack Bouwmeester, and waived defensive lineman K.J. Henry with an injury designation. The Bouwmeester move leaves veteran Corliss Waitman as the only punter left on the 90-man roster. A Crisis That Forced The Move The signing follo...
Buccaneers Closing In On Vita Vea Trade
The Vita Vea situation in Tampa Bay just got its clearest airing yet, and the two sides don't agree on how it ends. Vea's agent, Collin Roberts, told the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud that negotiations have stalled entirely. "I just don't see it ending in anything but a trade at this point," Roberts said. GM Jason Licht responded the next day with the opposite read. "I have no plans on trading Vita," Licht told reporters. "We love Vita. We've been engaged with his agent recently. I don't know h...
Wrestling Legend's Son Gets Suspended 6 Games With No Reason Given
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner has been suspended for the first six games of the 2026 season. The league gave no reason for the discipline, and neither the Saints nor Rechsteiner has offered a public explanation since. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rechsteiner will still be allowed to practice throughout training camp and play in all of Saints preseason games. The suspension itself won't actually begin until rosters get trimmed to 53 players on August 30. A Longshot St...
Colts Done With QB Anthony Richardson
Anthony Richardson's trade request is six months old, and by his own admission, he has no idea where it stands. Asked about the situation at a Sunday press conference, Richardson gave reporters an answer that summed up just how dormant the whole thing has gone. "I haven't really even talked to my agent about it recently," Richardson said, per James Boyd of The Athletic. "I haven't talked to (Chris) Ballard. So I'm not necessarily sure what's going on with that, but I'm just here right no...
Atlanta Falcons Sign Journeyman Running Back
The Atlanta Falcons added running back depth, signing veteran Trey Sermon. Sermon arrives with an extensive resume, if not a productive one at the NFL level. The San Francisco 49ers drafted him in the third round back in 2021, and since then he's bounced through the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and most recently the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in 46 career games with just three starts. His production has been modest throughout, totaling 505 rushing yards and three to...
Panthers Sign Another Quarterback After Injury In Season Opener
The Carolina Panthers filled out their quarterback room, officially signing Kyle Trask as their fourth option behind starter Bryce Young. The move came together fast. Trask worked out for the team last week, and the Panthers made it official the day after undrafted rookie Haynes King, the hero of Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, went down with a hamstring injury that's expected to sideline him for a stretch. In corresponding moves, Carolina waived receiver Malick Meiga and outside linebacke...
Raiders' Kirk Cousins Fights Maxx Crosby During Practice
Kirk Cousins and Maxx Crosby got into it in a recent practice, and the Las Vegas Raiders made sure there would be consequences. The fight broke out late in practice during a contentious team period. Crosby hit Cousins' throwing arm twice, and after the second hit, the 37-year-old quarterback had seen enough. Cousins got in Crosby's face and grabbed his jersey before both exchanged words, with teammates rushing in to pull them apart. No punches were thrown. The obvious size disparity ma...
