| 6/13/2025 10:09:00 PM | Kincaid has "added both strength and bulk" during the offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. |
| Kincaid dealt with knee injuries last year, causing him to miss three regular-season games and to log lower snap counts following his Week 15 return. Bills GM Brandon Beane attributed the talented tight end's lessened statistics -- he went from a 73-673-2 receiving line in the regular season as a rookie to a 44-448-2 line as a sophomore -- to the knee issues, saying Kincaid's campaign was "really more of an injury thing and nothing more than that." Per Buscaglia, Kincaid impressed during practice Thursday and now has a clean bill of health. He adds that Kincaid's increased strength could help him remain on the field more often for run-blocking reps, which would increase his offensive snap count and be a boost to Buffalo's offense. | |
| 6/13/2025 10:37:00 AM | Hall said at mandatory minicamp Wednesday he's motivated "to go prove that I am 'The Guy'" to a new regime led by new head coach Aaron Glenn, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. |
| Glenn talked up using all of Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis "as much as possible" earlier this offseason, but Hall is committed to securing another workhorse role for 2025. "We have a great running back room," Hall said, "but my mentality is every day I'm going to prove that I am the best back on this roster and one of the best backs in the league." He also revealed that despite suiting up for 16 regular-season games in 2024, the knee injury he dealt with was more serious than previously disclosed. "If I could go back, I probably would have taken more time off," the 24-year-old said. If Hall's production dip in 2024 can indeed be explained away by injury and the Jets' overall struggles on offense, his three-down ability and talent level will put him in solid position to bounce back to elite levels in 2025. Glenn and new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand are both acquainted with Detroit's run-heavy, two-back approach, but in New York it's possible QB Justin Fields could mix in alongside Hall more than other tailbacks. | |
| 6/10/2025 10:04:00 AM | Cook is present for the start of Buffalo's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. |
| Cook skipped voluntary OTAs amid his ongoing negotiations for a new contract with the Bills, but the 2022 second-round pick won't opt to hold out from mandatory minicamp, for which he would accrue fines. His presence at minicamp could indicate that contract talks have progressed beyond the point of being a "stalemate," as Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network described the situation earlier in June. After rushing 207 times for 1,009 yards and a career-high 16 touchdowns across 16 regular-season appearances in 2024, plus a 32-258-2 receiving line, Cook is now staring down the final year of his rookie deal. | |
| 6/4/2025 2:23:00 PM | Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday that Moore "has been a guy that's highly motivated" during voluntary OTAs, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports. |
| "[Moore] wants to be as complete of a receiver as he can possibly be, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get there," Johnson said. The wide receiver's poor body language last season was also addressed by Johnson, who said at the start of OTAs that the offseason will be "all about educating" Chicago's players about new team culture expectations. Moore said Tuesday that his body language was brought up once this offseason, but that "we nipped it in the bud and it never happened again." Entering his second season with Caleb Williams under center, the departure of Keenan Allen in free agency leaves Moore as the clear leader among the Bears' pass-catching corps, and he remains entrenched as the team's No. 1 wideout. Chicago's O-line upgrades and Johnson's track record in Detroit both point to a much improved offense for 2025, but Moore faces considerable target competition from last year's No. 9 overall pick Rome Odunze, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden (undisclosed) and tight end Colston Loveland (shoulder), the 10th overall selection of the 2025 draft. Moore tallied a career-high 98 catches across 17 regular-season games with Williams in 2024, though he took a step backward from his breakout 2023 campaign in terms of yards (966 vs. 1,364) and touchdowns (six vs. eight). | |
| 6/3/2025 3:01:00 PM | Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Dean (knee) "won't be back for awhile," Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports. |
| Dean tore the patellar tendon in his left knee during the Eagles' wild-card win over the Packers back in January and is still working through a lengthy recovery process. With his absence likely to extend into the regular season, Philly used its first-round pick on Jihaad Campbell to pair with Zack Baun at inside linebacker, though Campbell is recovering from surgery of his own to repair a torn labrum. | |
| 5/30/2025 2:03:00 PM | Al-Shaair (knee) participated in Wednesday's organized team activities, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports. |
| Al-Shaair picked up a knee injury during the Texans' divisional-round loss to the Chiefs, but he now appears to have moved past the issue. The Florida Atlantic product served as Houston's top middle linebacker last season, recording 70 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four passes defended and two forced fumbles over 11 regular-season contests. With Al-Shaair back at full health, he's expected to remain one of the Texans' top defensive playmakers in 2025. | |
| 5/29/2025 4:35:00 PM | McPherson has recovered from a torn abductor muscle sustained in 2024, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. |
| McPherson has been participating in Cincinnati's voluntary OTAs, indicating he's fully recovered from the abdomen injury that forced him to miss the team's final five games last season. The Florida product had the worst season of his NFL career in 2024, converting on just 16 of 22 field-goal attempts. Over the past two seasons, he's made only 52.6 percent of his field-goal tries (10 of 19) from 50 or more yards. However, he's missed just one of his last 78 extra-point attempts and appears poised for a bounce-back season in 2025. | |
| 5/5/2025 2:15:00 PM | Texans coach DeMeco Ryans reiterated Monday that Dell (knee) remains without a timetable for return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| Wilson reports that Dell is making "steady and impressive progress with major steps taken" following a pair of surgeries to repair the MCL, LCL and ACL in his left knee after he was injured in the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. There have been rumblings that Dell could miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. In an effort to stabilize the wide receiver position following Dell's serious injury and the departure of Stefon Diggs in free agency, the Texans acquired Christian Kirk and then used second- and third-round picks on Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, respectively. | |
| 4/14/2025 11:59:00 AM | Parsons is present for the start of the Cowboys' voluntary offseason workout program Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. |
| Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract and seeking a long-term extension, said at the end of the 2024 campaign that he intended to participate in voluntary workouts. The last two years, as Archer notes, Parson normally skipped out on attending the voluntary portion of the Cowboys' offseason. Parsons has tallied at least 12.0 sacks in four consecutive seasons to begin his NFL career and is reportedly seeking a new deal in the range of $200 million, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, which would make him the highest paid non-quarterback in league history. | |
| 3/13/2025 1:16:00 PM | The Panthers are signing Rico Dowdle to replace Miles Sanders (free agent) as Hubbard's backup, ESPN.com reports. |
| Hubbard and Dowdle both were lead backs last year, but there doesn't seem to be any doubt about whose show it will be in 2025, considering the former signed a four-year, $33.2 million extension. Dowdle settled for a one-year deal with a reported base value of $3 million, which suggests NFL teams view him as a backup-caliber player even after he ran for 1,079 yards in Dallas last year. Hubbard is the better pure runner, and generally a superior player, but it is possible he cedes more of the backfield work in 2025 (compared to last season) if Carolina's coaches like Dowdle more than they liked Sanders. There's no indication Hubbard's calf and knee injuries from the end of 2024 will be a problem for the upcoming season, whereas 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks figures to miss significant time after tearing his right ACL for the second time in two years. | |
| 3/12/2025 9:32:00 PM | Trask and the Buccaneers agreed Wednesday on a one-year, $2.787 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Trask will spend his fifth straight NFL campaign with Tampa Bay after the organization selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 27-year-old has yet to see much action outside of the preseason, taking just 32 offensive snaps and completing four of 11 pass attempts for 28 yards over seven abbreviated appearances during the regular season. Trask is slated to serve as the backup to Baker Mayfield again in 2025. | |
| 3/12/2025 12:20:00 PM | Kansas City restructured Jones' contract Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports. |
| Along with the restructuring of teammate Patrick Mahomes' contract, the Chiefs have freed up nearly $50 million in cap space with the move. Now there will be more space on the books for recent free-agent acquisition Kristian Fulton, who will be joining Jones on Kansas City's starting defensive unit in 2025. | |
| 3/10/2025 7:09:00 PM | McKee is in line to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts for the 2025 season after the Eagles traded Kenny Pickett to the Browns on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. |
| McKee spent most of the 2024 campaign as the Eagles' emergency quarterback behind Hurts and Pickett. McKee did appear in two games and started in the Eagles' regular-season finale against the Giants, during which he completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 seventh-round pick should be the favorite to be the Eagles' backup quarterback in 2025 unless another QB is added through free agency or the draft. | |
| 2/9/2025 10:21:00 PM | Hurts completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and added 11 rushes for 72 yards and another score during the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. |
| Hurts put together an MVP-caliber performance on the season's biggest stage, authoring a near-perfect performance that was only marred by an early second-quarter interception on a play where he was under significant pressure. Otherwise, the talented signal-caller was highly efficient when dropping back, hitting on both short passes and occasional downfield shots, such as a 22-yard, third-down strike to A.J. Brown early in the second quarter and his 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith with 2:40 remaining in the third quarter that essentially served as the final nail in Kansas City's coffin. Hurts also picked up key yardage on the ground on multiple occasions on his way to his highest rushing yardage tally since Week 2, and he opened the scoring on the night with a one-yard TD rush via a "Tush Push" play. Hurts finished the Eagles' 4-0 postseason with 726 passing yards and a 5:1 TD:INT alongside 194 yards and five rushing TDs on 34 carries, making up for the three-point loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII to cap off the championship run. | |
| 1/22/2025 6:50:00 PM | James logged 93 tackles (60 solo), including 5.5 sacks, seven pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games in 2024. |
| James was seven tackles shy from registering his fourth-straight 100-tackle season (and fifth of his NFL career). However, he did manage to register a career-high 5.5 sacks -- two of which came in Week 17 against the Patriots -- which was fourth-most on the Chargers behind Tuli Tuipulotu (8.5), Bud Dupree (6.0) and Khalil Mack (6.0). James will likely start at safety for the 2025 campaign, but it's unclear whether it'll be Elijah Molden (shin), Marcus Maye (ankle) or someone else who will start alongside James. | |
| 1/17/2025 5:34:00 PM | Bosa finished with 52 tackles (33 solo), including 9.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble across 14 starts in 2024. |
| Bosa didn't live up to the lofty expectations set in previous seasons despite providing well-rounded statistics. The 2022 DPOY didn't sniff that honor this year after dealing with an oblique injury that cost him three games of action. Bosa didn't get rolling again until Week 17, when he produced a pair of sacks against Detroit. With the 49ers missing the playoffs, the elite edge rusher will have a full offseason to return to full strength before running things back in 2025. | |
| 1/16/2025 10:25:00 PM | Baker racked up 164 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses and one forced fumble in 17 games during the 2024 regular season. |
| Since entering the NFL as a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Baker hasn't been involved too much in terms of turnovers (just seven interceptions, seven forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 122 career contests). However, he's reached the century mark in tackles five times in eight campaigns, including a personal best (by 17) in 2024. Baker is under contract through the 2027 campaign, so the 29-year-old remains locked in as a top IDP option among the league's defensive backs. | |
| 1/14/2025 6:59:00 PM | Pratt signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday. |
| Pratt was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he didn't make the team out of the preseason and spent the majority of the campaign bouncing between the Bucs' practice squad and active roster as the team's emergency QB3. Pratt never got into a regular-season game but will get another shot to try and impress the coaching staff this offseason. | |
| 1/12/2025 11:21:00 PM | Mayfield completed 15 of 18 passes for 185 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night. He also lost a fumble. |
| Mayfield was nearly perfect in every sense, even finishing the game with a 146.5 quarterback rating. However, his one error was critical, as his early fourth-quarter fumble on an attempted handoff was recovered by the Commanders' Bobby Wagner at the Buccaneers' 13-yard line and was followed by a go-ahead touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Terry McLaurin four plays later. While Mayfield drove Tampa Bay 61 yards over eight plays to a field goal that knotted the game up at 20-20, the veteran signal-caller never got another opportunity with the ball. The disappointing finish to the season aside, Mayfield counts the 2024 campaign as his best yet as a pro, as he finished with career highs in completions (407), pass attempts (570), completion percentage (71.4), passing yards (4,500), touchdown passes (41) and rushing yards (378) across 17 regular-season games. Mayfield also tied a career high with three rushing scores, and about the only blemish on his season stat line was the second-highest interception tally of his career (16). Mayfield remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season. | |
| 1/11/2025 8:37:00 PM | McConkey reeled in nine receptions on 14 targets for 197 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-12 wild-card round loss to Houston. |
| McConkey made quite the splash in his postseason debut, setting a new career high in receiving yards (197) while tying his previous high-water mark in receptions (nine). The 23-year-old rookie's box score result was the only one worth mentioning for a Chargers squad that netted just 261 yards of offense against the Texans. The disparity between McConkey and all of Los Angeles' other available receiving options in the blowout loss highlights the team's need to surround its No. 1 option with talent as we look ahead to the 2025 season. | |
| 1/8/2025 10:24:00 AM | Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and each of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers. |
| Carlson added boots from 40 and 47 yards in the Raiders' season finale to close out his 2024 campaign with an 85 percent make rate on field-goal attempts, his lowest mark since 2019. He ultimately converted 34 of 40 FGA, notably remaining perfect from the 20-39-yard range on 21 total attempts, so his only misses came from 40-plus. He also contributed 23 extra points on 25 tries. Despite the slight dip in FG percentage, the soon-to-be 30-year-old continues to provide Las Vegas with one of the more reliable legs across the league as he enters the final year of his current contract with the team in 2025. | |
| 1/6/2025 1:22:00 PM | Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets. |
| Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:55:00 PM | Bowers recorded four receptions on nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers. |
| Bowers was unable to record his first catch until early in the third quarter, and the majority of his production came in garbage time on the Raiders' final offensive possession. Nevertheless, he managed to tally the fifth touchdown of his rookie season and reached at least 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in seven games since the Raiders' bye in Week 10. Bowers ends his incredible campaign with the most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (112) and the most yardage (1,194) by a rookie tight end in league history. | |
