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.

The Chicago Bears ' biggest defensive investment of the offseason just took a devastating hit.

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.

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 ...

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

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.

Jahmyr Gibbs' Camp Absence Enters Its Second Week

Approached by reporters Monday as he left the field in street clothes, Gibbs was asked how much longer his hold-in might continue. "Only time will tell," Gibbs said. When pressed on whether it was contract-related, he added another puzzling answer. "Nah, it's not about that," Gibbs said. Asked what it was about instead, he replied, "I don't know." The Timing Just Got Real Wh...
