Vikings QB's Trade Value Reportedly Tanking Fast
J.J. McCarthy's path out of Minnesota keeps getting narrower, and the numbers behind it aren't pretty. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported this week that McCarthy's trade value is "considered low," a notable fall for a player the Vikings took 10th overall just two years ago. Vikings insider Alec Lewis of The Athletic backed that up on his YouTube show, suggesting McCarthy is now more likely to stay in Minnesota simply because no one wants to pay what it would take to get him. Trade T...
Cowboys Linked To Huge Trade Involving Their $64M Star
Kenny Clark's name keeps surfacing in Dallas Cowboys trade speculation. Last Word on Sports floated the idea this week that Dallas could move on from the veteran defensive tackle, pointing to head coach Brian Schottenheimer's comment that "we're not done" as evidence more roster moves could be coming. Contract Restructure That Says The Opposite Back in January, Dallas converted $11 million of Clark's roster bonus into a signing bonus and added three void years to his deal, a move...
AFC Team Brings In Justin Tucker For Workout Amid Roster Chaos
The New York Jets are still searching for answers at kicker just 11 days before the season opener, and Wednesday's search included one of the most decorated names to ever play the position. Justin Tucker was among three kickers who worked out for New York, along with Michael Badgley and Joshua Karty. Kicking Situation That Keeps Shifting New York's need at the position has been unstable all summer. The Jets let go of Nick Folk, who went 28-of-29 on field goals last season, in fre...
Jets Claim Kicker Off Waivers From Colts
The New York Jets moved fast at kicker this week, and the "competition" head coach Aaron Glenn promised didn't last long at all. New York claimed Blake Grupe off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts , one day after the Colts released him following a lost preseason battle with Spencer Shrader. The Jets also claimed linebacker Trevin Wallace off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in the same round of moves. Fast Resolution Grupe's arrival came right after incumbent Jason Sanders struggl...
Baltimore Ravens Sign Former 49ers Kicker
The Baltimore Ravens are adding a safety net at kicker, signing veteran Jake Moody to the practice squad. The move comes three days after second-year kicker Tyler Loop missed two field goals in Baltimore's preseason finale against Washington and was booed by the home crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. Loop finished the preseason 5-of-8 on field-goal attempts, doing little to ease concerns after a rookie season that ended with a missed 44-yard attempt in a Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh that cost Bal...
Vikings Cut Quarterback One Day After Making Roster
The Minnesota Vikings are releasing quarterback Max Brosmer, who started two games last year and played in seven. He now heads to waivers. The move comes barely 24 hours after Brosmer survived Sunday's initial 53-man roster cutdown, one of four quarterbacks Minnesota kept on the roster alongside Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, and Carson Wentz. Wide receiver Dillon Bell was also released Monday in a corresponding move, with Minnesota reportedly using the open spots to sign two of the top-ra...
Eagles Weighing Reunion With Three-Time Pro Bowl Tight End
The Philadelphia Eagles are exploring a reunion with tight end Zach Ertz as the team looks to add depth behind an injury-prone position group. Per PHLY Sports' EJ Smith , there's mutual interest between the two sides, though nothing is imminent given Ertz is still approaching the nine-month recovery mark from a torn ACL suffered last December with the Washington Commanders. Ertz was cleared for football activities earlier this month, and that nine-month benchmark, which arrives next week...
Browns Release Veteran Receiver As Rookies Take Over
The Cleveland Browns released wide receiver Cedric Tillman. In a corresponding move, Cleveland claimed cornerback Mekhi Blackmon off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts. Tillman was set to earn $3.6 million in the final year of his rookie contract before the release. As a player with fewer than four accrued seasons, he's now subject to waivers rather than becoming an immediate free agent. Two Rookies Made Him Expendable The move goes back to Cleveland's draft investment at the positi...
Bills Release Three-Time Super Bowl Champion
The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver and returner Mecole Hardman Jr. Hardman was one of 13 players let go in that round, a group that also included veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Hardman's release comes down largely to a lost battle at punt returner. Running back Ray Davis had been given increasing opportunities to field punts throughout camp, and receiver Trent Sherfield's strong performance in Buffalo's preseason finale against Cleveland further squeezed...
Packers Sign Former Pro Bowl Tight End
The Green Bay Packers added tight end depth, signing veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year contract. Smith spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in all 17 games but catching just 38 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. His best season came a year earlier with the Miami Dolphins, when he set career highs with 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, earning his lone Pro Bowl selection. Green Bay Needed The Help The Packers have been thin at tight end all offs...
TRADE: Rams Reunite With Familiar Receiver In Rare Player Swap
The Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins made a player-for-player trade, with the Rams reacquiring wide receiver Tutu Atwell in exchange for running back Jarquez Hunter. Atwell signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with Miami in March after spending his first five seasons with Los Angeles, but the reunion in South Florida never took hold. He had no catches in the preseason and little impact in training camp, with the Dolphins' crowded receiver room, headlined by rookies Caleb Douglas a...
Packers Bracing For Josh Jacobs Suspension
The Green Bay Packers are operating like a suspension is coming for star running back Josh Jacobs, even though the NFL hasn't handed one down yet. GM Brian Gutekunst addressed the situation with reporters. "We've obviously been prepared for that in case that happens," Gutekunst said. "That doesn't mean we wouldn't do that, but yeah, we'll deal with that when that comes." Legal Situation Jacobs was arrested in late May in Hobart, Wisconsin, on suspicion of battery, criminal damage to proper...
Giants Lose Wide Receiver To Season-Ending Injury
The New York Giants ' receiver room took a significant hit, and it's already changing the team's plans before the season even begins. Wide receiver Calvin Austin III tore his ACL during a one-on-one drill at practice, and will miss the entire 2026 season. Austin crumpled to the ground while running step for step with cornerback Deonte Banks and was carted off the field, with teammates gathering around him and owner John Mara coming over to check on him as the severity of the injury becam...
Packers & Steelers Talking Big Trade
The Joey Porter Jr. trade speculation now has a specific team attached to it, even if the full picture remains murky. Per Easton Butler of Packer Report , the Green Bay Packers have been making calls on cornerbacks across the league, and Porter is one of the names that has come up. "The Packers have been making calls for Cornerbacks across the league, per source," Butler wrote. "One name mentioned has been Joey Porter Jr, who is on the last year of his deal." 2027 2nd round pick fo...
Lions Host Former Rushing Champion For Free Agent Visit
The Detroit Lions hosted free agent running back Kareem Hunt for a visit Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, as the team continues searching for backfield depth during a rash of training camp injuries. Hunt did not sign with Detroit immediately following the visit. Detroit Is Suddenly Searching The timing is due to injuries piling up behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs, who signed a massive extension this offseason and is set to anchor the backfield. Backup Isiah Pacheco, a former Ch...
Saints Running Back Feared To Have Suffered Devastating Knee Injury
Ty Chandler's bid to make the New Orleans Saints' roster took a serious hit. Per New Orleans Saints beat writer Nick Underhill, the knee injury Chandler suffered during Saturday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams is "feared to be serious." The severity of the diagnosis explains a roster move the Saints made almost immediately afterward, trading for running back Zamir White from the Las Vegas Raiders the very next day. He Was Winning The Roster Battle Chandler had been buil...
Cardinals Release Recent Top Prospect Running Back
The Arizona Cardinals have moved on from running back Trey Benson, waiving the 2024 third-round pick with an injury designation. The move came in the same set of transactions that saw Arizona activate star pass rusher Josh Sweat off the physically unable to perform list. The Cardinals also signed safeties Devyn Bobby and Hudson Clark, released tight end Baylor Cupp and receiver Bryson Green, and placed receiver Xavier Weaver on injured reserve. Knee That Never Fully Cooperated Benson...
Bears To Restart Trade Talks On Quarterback
The Chicago Bears turned down trade interest in backup quarterback Tyson Bagent once already this year. That door may not be fully closed. Per Jason La Canfora , multiple teams called Chicago about Bagent back in February, and the Bears "brushed off" the talks before signing him to a new contract that runs through the 2027 season. With Bagent now firmly behind Caleb Williams on the depth chart and the Bears also carrying veteran Case Keenum, the door to revisiting those conversatio...
Giants Running Back Surprisingly Losing Grip On Roster Spot
A New York Giants running back who looked like a lock for a real role just weeks ago now finds himself fighting to make the roster at all. Per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post , Tyrone Tracy Jr. could be on the outside looking in for a spot on New York's 53-man roster as the preseason winds down, following two costly mistakes in as many games. Pair Of Rough Outings Tracy's preseason has gone sideways fast. In the opener against Minnesota on August 15, he managed just two carries for thre...
Multiple Teams Circling Steelers' Unsigned Star Corner
Joey Porter Jr.'s contract standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers has turned into a league-wide storyline. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz , multiple teams around the league have wondered about Porter as a potential trade target. "JPJ is in the final year of his rookie contract, and with where the CB market is, teams have wondered if Pittsburgh could ultimately be open to a move with the Pro Bowl caliber corner," Schultz reported. Market That's Exploding Around Him Seattle just made De...
Cowboys Linebacker Becomes Trade Candidate After Signing
The Dallas Cowboys ' decision to sign Von Miller has created a roster crunch, and linebacker Marist Liufau is the player caught in the middle of it. Per Bleacher Report's Moe Moton , Liufau carries a 9-out-of-10 probability of being traded before the August 30 roster cuts deadline, tied for the highest mark among any player Moton flagged across the league. The Math Doesn't Work For Him Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, rookie first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, Miller, and James Houston are a...
Texans Make Trade Calls On AFC Rival's Receiver
The Houston Texans didn't wait long to start searching for a replacement after losing Jayden Higgins for the season. Per KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson , Houston has made "exploratory trade calls" around the league, with New England Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte among the names they've asked about. Per the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander, those calls have so far been about gauging price rather than finalizing anything. Sources have described the Texans' outreach as inquiries in...
Texans' CJ Stroud Has Reported Astronomical Asking Price For Next Contract
C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are far apart in contract talks, and a fresh report suggests the gap is even wider than expected. Per Jeremy Branham of ESPN 97.5 in Houston, the Texans have offered Stroud something in the range of $50 million to $55 million annually. Stroud, according to the same report, is seeking $70 million per year, a number that would instantly make him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by average annual value. The Number Raised Eyebrows The current...
49ers' Could Make Surprising QB Trade
The San Francisco 49ers thought they had their quarterback room settled. Brock Purdy starting, Mac Jones as arguably the league's best backup, and one more arm needed for camp depth. Then Kurtis Rourke happened. Per the San Francisco Chronicle's Rick Barrows , Rourke's dazzling preseason debut last week has increased the odds San Francisco trades Jones before the NFL's Nov. 10 deadline, though that is explicitly described as informed opinion rather than a sourced report. What Rourke Ac...
Multiple Teams Have Checked In On Giants Receiver
The New York Giants have a receiver other teams keep asking about. Per USA Today's Art Stapleton , teams around the league have checked in about trading for Darnell Mooney. Why He's Drawing Calls Mooney signed a one-year deal with New York in March worth up to $10 million, but only $1.215 million of that is guaranteed salary, with the Giants on the hook for a $1.785 million signing bonus regardless of what happens next. That structure makes him relatively cheap to acquire, since ...
