Regarding a potential trade of QB Kirk Cousins, ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes that the Falcons “have had discussions with teams – and have asked for a lot in return.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers allegedly have a first-round grade on Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Steelers Beat Reporter Gerry Dulac told the Rich Eisen Show that the Steelers have that grade on Dart, but also like Shedeur Sanders. He did not rule out the possibility of the team taking a DL instead of a QB however.
The Broncos have been one of the teams most commonly assigned a RB in Round 1 of NFL mock drafts. GM George Paton obviously won't give away what his team plans to do on the first night, but he did confirm that we should expect Denver to select a RB ... at some point.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert “remains a name to watch on the trade market,” per insider Jordan Schultz. Per Schultz, “interested teams believe Philadelphia would be open to future picks if they don’t receive 2025 draft capital.” Goedert is currently set to make over $14 million in the final year of a four-year contract.
QB Aaron Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show that he's still considering retiring. He added that he has remained in touch with teams about playing this season but is currently focused on his personal life. "I’m open to anything and attached to nothing," Rodgers said. "Retirement could still be a possibility."
CBS Sports' Aditi Kinkhabwala reports that the Steelers have not gotten an update on QB Aaron Rodgers' plans since their March 21 meeting. "Aaron Rodgers is more likely to retire than sign with a team that's not a Super Bowl contender," Kinkhabwala adds.
Once considered the potential No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, QB Shadeur Sanders might need to wait a lot longer to hear his name called. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer writes that, "it feels like it’d be surprising" if Sanders went in the top 10. It's possible that he falls all the way to the Steelers at pick 21 -- or goes even later.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he’s “getting close to where I want to be” in his recovery from a torn right hamstring. "If I had to play a game today, I definitely could do that," Prescott added via ESPN. "It's about moving forward healthy to make sure I can play 17 times, 20 [games] -- whatever we get to when the time's right." Recall that Prescott needed surgery and was placed on IR following the Week 9 injury.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.
Former Texas WR Isaiah Bond turned himself in to the Frisco Police Department on Thursday for a sexual assault warrant. He was released after posting bail and issued a statement denying the charges against him.
The NFL has requested the audio of the 911 call placed by Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill’s mother-in-law earlier this week, Fox Sports' Andy Slater reports. Police were called to Hill's condo on Monday for an alleged "assault in progress." Hill's mother-in-law reportedly told the cops that Hill had gotten aggressive with his wife. But there were no signs of violence, and the police left without arresting Hill or filing charges. He won't face any legal consequences, but it sounds like he's not safe from league discipline yet.
The Browns and QB Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal, his agent tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Flacco can earn as much as $13 million with incentives. Flacco returns to Cleveland, where he won Comeback Player of the Year in 2023. He averaged 323 yards across five games that year, tossing 13 TDs vs. eight INTs in a pass-heavy attack. Flacco made six starts with seven total appearances for the Colts last season, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt with 12 TDs and seven INTs. He turned 40 in January.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence said Wednesday that he expects to be a full-go for the start of training camp. He's rehabbing from December surgery to repair an AC joint injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Lawrence plans to throw on a limited basis in OTAs.
WR Allen Lazard has agreed to a contract restructure with the Jets, according to multiple reports. The wideout was scheduled to get $11 million this year. Instead, he'll make $8.5 million less -- with $1.75 million guaranteed. Lazard will also become a free agent in 2026 instead of 2027.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that he "feels like" he needs to run more in 2025. "I'm open to running more next year," he added. "Just because it's such a weapon. ... It's part of the emphasis going into next season."
The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider named QB Bo Nix, RB Audric Estime, and WR Troy Franklin as potential “breakout candidates” in 2025. Nix finished QB8 in fantasy scoring as a rookie, so you could argue he’s not a fit here. But Estime and Franklin both underwhelmed in Year 1, so there’s room for growth.
The Jaguars announced Monday that they've exercised the fifth-year option on the rookie contract for Edge Travon Walker. That'll keep him with the team through at least 2026. Walker's heading into his fourth season this fall.
The Rams surprised -- at least a bit -- by re-signing WR Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million contract before he could reach unrestricted free agency this offseason. HC Sean McVay has since said that Atwell will be on the field "a lot more," which makes sense. But the team also added WR Davante Adams just three days after the Atwell deal. So it's fair to wonder how much room the 25-year-old wideout can actually find.
Panthers HC Dave Canales said the kinds of things you'd expect a coach to say about his WRs at last week's NFL meetings in Florida. "I love the guys that we have," he told the Charlotte Observer. "And I'm excited about this year." He specifically talked about how he thinks Xavier Legette can become a DK Metcalf-type playmaker. But the way Canales talked about Legette suggested the coach might think that development will take time.
Defense Attorney and FootballGuys writer Drew Davenport believes there's a "better than even chance" that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will not be suspended in 2025 for his role in a street-racing crash a little over a year ago. Davenport points out that Rice's case has not been indicted yet, so the legal process might not be wrapped up until after the coming season.
