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

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.

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...
Steelers Claim Wide Receiver Who Missed A Full Season To Injury

In corresponding moves, Pittsburgh waived tight end J.J. Galbreath and wide receiver A.T. Perry. Dowell now gets a fresh look with six days to go before the Steelers' preseason opener against Green Bay. A Career Derailed By One Play Dowell's path back to an NFL roster has been a long one. The Tennessee Titans took...
Buccaneers Send Clear Message Amid Star's Trade Request
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not said much publicly about Vita Vea's trade request. But their actions over the weekend spoke louder than any statement could.

Los Angles Rams Putting Puka Nacua Extension On Hold

Falcons Release Veteran Quarterback Before Training Camp
