NFL Rumors: Massive Update On Aaron Donald Revealed By Insider

NFL Rumors: Rams Offered Huge Trade Package For Maxx Crosby
The Los Angeles Rams did not stumble into the Myles Garrett trade accidentally. They had been building toward a blockbuster pass-rush acquisition all offseason, and as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero revealed on The Rich Eisen Show this week, Maxx Crosby was a significant part of that conversation before the Garrett deal ultimately came together. "Myles Garrett was not the first pass rusher that they pursued in this offseason," Pelissero said. "They had eyes on players, whether it was via free...

NFL Rumors: Chargers' Running Back Becoming Trade Candidate
Kimani Vidal had one of the better breakout stories of the 2025 NFL season.

Dolphins Sign Former First-Round Pick Wide Receiver
The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor, adding the former first-round pick to a receiver room that is almost unrecognizable from what it was twelve months ago. Reagor, 27, was the 21st overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU, where he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as both a receiver and returner and generated first-round buzz with his speed and explosiveness in the open field. The NFL portion of his career did not follow the trajectory that pick posi...
Insider Links Bills & Ravens To Blockbuster Trade
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler published a piece this week simulating trades for four NFL players whose situations he believes could produce deals before training camp, and the proposal that generated the most debate was his suggestion that the Baltimore Ravens send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for wide receiver Keon Coleman.
