This is not a good time for NFL teams in need of a franchise quarterback. The 2026 draft class is thin. Scouts are mostly unimpressed. And some are already counting the days until the 2027 draft when a half-dozen QBs could end up with first-round grades. For teams that need help now, though, the cupboard isn’t completely bare. There are good quarterbacks in this class if teams look hard enough. […]

PHOENIX — Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider's eyes lit up when I asked about his team’s prized quarterback, Sam Darnold. In my conversation with Schneider, he emphasized the belief that the USC product has more to show entering his second season in Seattle. That’s right. Even after leading a different team to a 14-win season that included a run to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in his first year with […]

PHOENIX — The end of the NFL's owners meeting has arrived. But before we departed the Biltmore Hotel on Tuesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gave another State of the Union that dropped some crumbs on what to possibly expect around the league next season and in the years to come. Finding a new stadium for the Chicago Bears, NFL players competing in flag football in the Olympics and proposed rules […]

The NFL's competition committee approved a one-year rule for the upcoming season that would allow the replay center in New York to correct "clear and obvious mistakes made by on-field officials that impact the game" in case of a work stoppage involving the NFL Referees Association. It was one of multiple rules changes announced Tuesday at the league's annual meetings. The league is moving forward with plans to begin hiring […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to Disney World! The Jaguars will play most of their 2027 home games in Orlando after NFL owners rubber-stamped a proposal Tuesday that has been years in the making and essentially a done deal for months. Owners voted unanimously at the league's annual meetings in Arizona to allow the team to temporarily relocate next year’s home slate during the final stages of a $1.4 billion […]

PHOENIX — For the Dallas Cowboys, a George Pickens extension should be a sure thing. It should be. But … with Jerry Jones, we know to expect the unexpected. Pickens is among the league’s top wideouts and the best WR2 in the NFL, even when comparing him to the likes of Tee Higgins and DeVonta Smith — both of whom are playing on their second contracts. In his first season […]

PHOENIX — A.J. Brown is a Philadelphia Eagle. That’s what head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman have kept repeating at the NFL owners meetings the past few days. But that, of course, didn’t answer the question prevalent around the league. Will Brown be an Eagle when the season kicks off? The Philly brass repeatedly dodged that question as the team's star receiver remains entrenched in trade rumors. "I […]

John Harbaugh didn't pour water on the possibility of the New York Giants bringing back star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. In fact, the Giants' first-year head coach added some fuel to the idea that Beckham could potentially close his NFL career out with the team that drafted him. "The obvious pat answer would be you look at every option, and if Odell is an option, we'll be looking at […]

The Super Bowl will continue to have a West Coast feel through the end of the 2020s. Super Bowl LXIII will be played in Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, the league announced in March. It'll mark the sixth Super Bowl to be played in Arizona, California or Nevada in an eight-year span, as that game is scheduled to take place in February 2029. The most recent Super Bowl took place at […]
