Will Johnson (RB - NYG)
7/5/25 2:30 PM -
3 Players Who Could Surprise Arizona Cardinals Defense. It led to heavy spending in free agency and six of the Cardinals' seven draft picks from this year's class being invested on defense. As a result, Arizona brought in plenty of big fish including Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson on the defensive line and Josh Sweat as an outside linebacker in free agency. Walter Nolen and Will Johnson were the gems of their 2025 NFL Draft class, too.

Analyst: Young LB is Lions' 'Building Block'. The Detroit Lions could have a changing of the guard at the linebacker position in the coming years. Veteran Alex Anzalone did not participate in the team's offseason workout program ahead of the last year of his contract. If Anzalone does not earn a new contract, Jack Campbell could become the defense's leader for the future, beginning in 2026. In a recent list of every NFL team's building blocks for the 2025 season, Campbell was the Lions' representative after a big second season.

Atlanta Falcons' Drake London: NFL's Best Wide Receiver Under Pressure?. Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London goes under the radar when discussing the elite pass catchers in the NFL far too often. The former USC Trojans standout is coming off a career-best season where he finished top-ten in nearly every major wide receiver category, yet he was still not named as an All-Pro or Pro Bowler despite the numbers saying otherwise. Now, as the NFL offseason is nearing its end and preseason predictions are drawing to a close, statistics that may have swept under the radar last season are resurfacing. In a list by Pro Football Focus, Drake London was ranked as the most targeted wide receiver in pressured passing situations.

Following the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos signed several players as undrafted free agents as they built their 90-man roster. Four of those players were offensive linemen.

Michael Penix Jr.'s Prolific Start was Best Among 6 First-Round Quarterbacks. The 2024 NFL Draft featured six quarterbacks being selected in the first round, tied with the 1983 Draft for the most ever taken in round one. The Atlanta Falcons selected Michael Penix Jr. 8th overall, the fourth quarterback taken off the board behind Caleb Williams (1), Jayden Daniels (2), and Drake Maye (3). Atlanta's Penix finally got the start in Week 16, against the New York Giants, following a five-week span where Kirk Cousins went 1-4 and threw just one touchdown to nine interceptions.

Should the Rams Sign a Two-Time Super Bowl Champion?. After spending the 2024 season at home, NFL legend and two-time Super Bowl Champion Jason Pierre-Paul is ready to come back to the league. In a recent article with ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Pierre-Paul stated he can still perform at a top level. Having already overcome near insurmountable odds when a fireworks accident blew off 2.5 of his fingers on his right hand, Pierre-Paul helped powered a team built in the same manner as the 2025 Los Angeles Rams, the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a title. The Buccaneers had a veteran quarterback in Tom Brady, a defense filled with young players, a veteran playmaking wide receiver in Mike Evans, his younger counterpart Chris Godwin, and a defensive coordinator that loves to blitz.

Williams threw for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions during a year that would've challenged even the most seasoned starting QB. Williams survived 68 sacks (sure, some of them were his fault), Matt Eberflus at head coach (who became the first-ever Bears coach fired during the season), and his career kicked off under the tutelage of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, who quickly proved to be unqualified for an NFL position.

The rise of young Jets halfbacks Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis has further complicated matters for Hall, who is entering the final year of his contract with a new head coach in Aaron Glenn.

Three Game-Changers Ravens Can Still Sign. The Baltimore Ravens had one of the best rosters in the NFL even before the notable addition of Jaire Alexander. Lamar Jackson leads an offense that led the NFL in total yards per game in 2024, and featured Derrick Henry, who ran for nearly 2,000 yards. While training camp is just weeks away, there are still several quality players available on the market that could make the Ravens even better. You can never have enough weapons in today's NFL, and these players could add some spice to an already loaded cabinet.

Stat Proves Arizona Cardinals Have Top NFL CB. The Arizona Cardinals have one of the NFL's best cornerbacks, though he's not quite a household name. Cornerback Garrett Williams has slowly but surely climbed his way into the top echelon of defensive back play after his second season in the league. Williams earned a 90.6 grade in zone coverage last season, which topped Pro Football Focus' rankings for 2024 above some seriously talented names such as Patrick Surtain and Trent McDuffie. Williams will lead a young Cardinals cornerback room in 2025 that also features names such as Will Johnson, Max Melton and Starling Thomas.

At the 2-minute, 10-second mark of the video revealing Kansas City Chiefs three-time Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey at No. 93, it was announced that he was the only player at the position to make this year's list, meaning that Linderbaum didn't make the cut. It's hard to determine which is the more egregious offense: the fact that a First Team All Pro selection like Humphrey, who has been voted to each of the last three Pro Bowls, barely made the list or that Linderbaum was voted to each of the last two all-star rosters was left off entirely.

Many felt it was not a good look for Garrett to not be present at OTAs, especially after essentially complaining — or at least expressing serious concern — about the direction of the franchise and then signing a record-breaking four-year, $160 million contract extension. “I look forward to having my best season for sure, and I think it's trending that way,” Garrett said, via Zac Jackson of The Athletic.

Lamar Jackson (QB - BAL)
7/4/25 4:00 AM -
Trade Idea Gives Ravens Room to Test Prospects. Most of the remaining questions surrounding the Ravens' lineup pertains to Lamar Jackson's long-term security under contract or the inescapable Mark Andrews trade rumor cycle, but A-Z Sports had some fun pitching a three-team deal that sees Baltimore open up opportunity for some of their recently-drafted talents to break through for the team and fill necessary holes. "Trading away Tavius Robinson was not a move anticipated going into this exercise, but the depth that the Ravens feature at the position afforded more luxury in the way of finding good value," Ravens writer Kyle Crabbs writes.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB - NE)
7/4/25 4:00 AM -
Patriots' Embattled Weapon Receives Latest Warning. The New England Patriots decided to address their backfield in the NFL Draft, selecting TreVeyon Henderson in the second round. Henderson has a great chance of winning the starting job at some point in 2025, and that's largely thanks to the struggling pieces around him. The face of those struggles is Rhamondre Stevenson, who is recovering from a rough 2024 campaign in which he rushed for 801 yards and seven touchdowns while averaging 3.9 yards per carry. As a result, Stevenson has been viewed as a potential trade candidate for the Patriots, but that's going to be a difficult feat given the four-year, $36 million contract extension New England handed him last offseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF - PIT)

Steelers Made Right GM Move. After signing head coach Mike Tomlin to a three-year extension last offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers followed suit by handing general manager Omar Khan his own new deal that will keep him in the organization through the 2028 campaign. It's a well-deserved show of support from the Steelers towards Khan, who has spent upwards of two decades with the team in various roles and took over as the GM after the 2022 NFL Draft once Kevin Colbert stepped down.

Tennessee Titans (DEF - TEN)
7/4/25 4:00 AM -
Cardinals Veteran Makes Too Much Sense For Titans. The Tennessee Titans have a lack of depth at the linebacker position, but there could be an easy fix in free agency. Bleacher Report writer Brent Sobleski listed former Arizona Cardinals linebacker Kyzir White as a potential bargain-bin free agent that can help any team in the NFL, including the Titans. "In White's last four seasons between the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals, he has averaged 120 tackles, including 110 or more during three of those years," Sobleski wrote.

Minnesota Vikings (DEF - MIN)
7/4/25 4:00 AM -
Vikings can finally dump draft disappointment if rookie asserts himself in camp. The Minnesota Vikings, in the enviable position of having a quarterback on a rookie contract, spent more than all but one team in 2025 free agency. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah replaced Rick Spielman as Vikings' general manager in 2022. Just three players from that year's draft class are still on the roster now, and the majority of those 10 players did not or have not made any real impact. When roster cuts are done in late August, there may only be one player from that 2022 draft class left on the Vikings' roster.

Brandon McManus (K - GB)
7/4/25 3:30 AM -
MOST IMPORTANT PACKERS OF 2025. Anyone questioning how important it is that the Green Bay Packers have a reliable veteran kicker have clearly forgotten what life was like before Brandon McManus' midseason arrival last year. Whether it was Anders Carlson punctuating his rollercoaster rookie season in 2023 with a critical fourth-quarter miss on a 41-yard attempt with the Packers leading the San Francisco 49ers in their NFC divisional round playoff matchup, or waiver-wire claim Brayden Narveson leading the NFL in missed field-goal attempts during the first 1/3 of last season, the kicking game was frustratingly unpredictable before McManus was signed in mid-October.

Which Lions offseason moves will most impact their matchups with the Browns in 2025?. We have the 2025 Browns schedule, and now it's time to look at what each of the teams they will play this season has changed ahead of the season. Next up in our series is the Browns' Week 4 opponent: the Detroit Lions. Detroit finished last season with the best record in the NFL at 15-2 but was surprised in a loss in the NFC Divisional round to Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.

Travis Kelce (TE - KC)

'The great ones know how to find it': Why K.C. still expects the best from Travis Kelce. Adam Teicher has covered the Kansas City Chiefs for more than 30 seasons. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Kelce ended the 2024 NFL season with career lows in yards and touchdowns -- 823 and three, respectively. Then he caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Kansas City Chiefs' divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans, single-handedly dragging an otherwise lethargic passing game into the AFC Championship Game.

Ben Johnson (TE - LAC)
7/4/25 3:00 AM -
Top under-the-radar Chicago Bears players to watch in 2025: No. 1 Olamide Zaccheaus. The Bears made a lot of the headlines this offseason. It started when general manager Ryan Poles hired Ben Johnson to be his new head coach and continued in the following months when Poles revamped his offensive line and boosted the defensive line. There's plenty to watch once training camp starts later in July. Many will look to see how the Bears adjust to Johnson's new coaching staff and how quarterback Caleb Williams looks heading into his second season.

Ranking AFC West WR groups: How do Chargers stack up against rivals?. In his first season working with head coach Jim Harbaugh, Herbert had 3,870 yards with 23 touchdown passes against just three interceptions. Herbert did all this without a true No. 1 wide receiver. While rookie Ladd McConkey stepped up and gave them more than 1,000 yards, they still lacked that one player who defenses couldn't stop in the passing game.

The monumental trade that took place earlier this week sending S Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins for CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith rocked the NFL world and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary.

Carolina Panthers (DEF - CAR)
7/4/25 2:00 AM -
Key 2025 position battle for Carolina Panthers identified by NFL analyst. The Carolina Panthers finished 2024 on a strong note — or they were at least much better by the end of the season than the beginning. While his development throughout the year was impressive, the Panthers know his play is far from their biggest concern. Carolina had a historically bad defense in 2024, which is why Ejiro Evero has suddenly dropped in defensive coordinator rankings. In an effort to get back on track, they added Tre'Von Moehrig, Tershawn Wharton, Patrick Jones II, and Bobby Brown III in free agency.

Jermaine Burton (WR - CIN)
7/4/25 1:01 AM -
ESPN names troubled second-year WR as most surprising Cincinnati Bengals OTA player. After a very disappointing and forgetful rookie season, wide receiver Jermaine Burton is receiving early praise this offseason. Burton was the 80th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and never made an impact for the Cincinnati Bengals as a rookie, creating more headlines off the field than on it. Late in the season, Burton was allegedly involved in a domestic violence assault against his ex-girlfriend, and the Bengals would respond quickly by not allowing him to travel with the team for the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
