Bitonio said back in December that he would take some time this offseason to consider retirement. Not much as changed here as the 33-year-old guard told reporters that retirement is “definitely within the realm of possibilities.” The seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro also mentioned that he was leaning one way but wasn’t ready to share it. The tentative timeline for his decision is the start of free agency. Bitonio has one year left on his contract with the Browns and also mentione ...23 February 2025
Nearly two weeks after head coach Kevin O’Connell said Darnold “earned the right to be a free agent,” the Vikings drumbeat continues to be that the former No. 3 overall pick will have the chance to test the market when free agency kicks off next month. While he didn’t rule out the possibility of the Vikings franchise tagging Darnold, Lewis believes the decision to tag Darnold will hinge on whether another team would be willing to trade for Darnold rather than try their luck in free agenc ...23 February 2025
It was a busy 2024 for Jones, who was traded from the Rams to the Titans before the start of the 2024 season and later traded to the Seahawks just weeks before the trade deadline. The former third-round pick quickly turned into a pivotal player for the Seahawks’ defense, who ranked fifth in EPA per play and sixth in success rate allowed in Weeks 9-18. They were outside of the top 20 in both categories for the first eight weeks of the season. Now set to hit free agency, Jones will have a chance ...23 February 2025
A lifelong Cowboy, Martin has opted to call it quits after 11 seasons. Few guards in NFL history have done it better than Martin, whose seven First-Team All-Pros are tied for 14th most in NFL history. Every player with seven or more All-Pro nominations is in the Hall of Fame, with the exception of the Rams’ Aaron Donald, who is likely to be a first-ballot nominee once eligible. Drafted with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Martin started all 162 games he appeared in during his ca ...

According to Fowler, Jones’ surgery was “to address a lingering issue he played through last year.” The second-year pro appeared in nine games in 2024 while making eight starts, earning a PFF blocking grade of 46.4. For his career, Jones has allowed just seven sacks and 43 quarterback pressures on 783 pass-blocking snaps. Assuming all goes well, Jones is expected to begin running soon and should be ready in time for training camp.22 February 2025

Parham spent 2024 on the Broncos’ practice squad but last took an NFL snap with the Chargers in 2023. He was a red zone weapon in LA, scoring 11 touchdowns on 67 catches during his four seasons with the Bolts. Steelers OC Arthur Smith uses multiple tight ends more than almost any other play-caller in the league, giving Parham a path to a roster spot this summer.21 February 2025
Gladstone was one of several candidates to replace Trent Baalke, but the Jaguars finally were able to come a decision Friday. Gladstone has been with the Rams for the last eight seasons — the last four as a director of scouting strategy — and is widely respected around the industry. It’s been proven time and again that if you need to go outside your org to make a hire, the Rams are the best place to start. 34-year-old Gladstone inherits a Jacksonville roster that is not bereft of talent, b ...21 February 2025
The second-year first-round pick out of Georgia evidently played through the injury in the second half. He went under the knife Wednesday and is expected to be ready for Week 1. More than likely, he will be good to go for training camp. 2024 was a nice leap for Smith after he made zero rookie starts. He played roughly 70 percent of the Eagles’ snaps and tallied 6.5 sacks. That does not include the four QB takedowns he logged during the postseason. Heading into his age-24 campaign, Smith could ...21 February 2025

Gladstone has been with the Rams for the last eight seasons — the last four as a director of scouting strategy — and is widely respected around the industry. The 34-year-old inherits a Jacksonville roster that is not bereft of talent, but likely will need a quality offseason or two to be a true competitor in the AFC.21 February 2025

The Bears already have plenty of cap space. This move plus Gerald Everett’s release will put them above $70 million in cap space as free agency approaches. Walker signed a three-year, $21 million contract in Chicago two offseasons ago. He totaled seven sacks with the Bears and started all 17 games last year. Walker will have some takers in free agency, though he will likely be resigned to a one or two-year deal this time around.21 February 2025
With over $76 million in cap space, we would expect nothing less. Arizona has more cap space in 2025 than all but three teams. The Cardinals’ offense was solid in 2024 but failed to reach its full potential. Having drafted offensive players with their first pick in three consecutive drafts, you would expect more than a 12-place finish in scoring. As Ossenfort noted, the team also has a few key extensions to make. Trey McBride just posted a breakout season of 111 receptions for 1,146 yards and ...21 February 2025
The move is hardly a surprise. Everett was brought in as one of OC Shane Waldron’s guys. The two had worked together for five years before 2024. Everett held a part-time role early in the season but quickly fell out of the mix on offense. Waldron was fired well before the end of the season. Everett ended the year with eight catches for 36 yards. His release will save the Bears $5.5 million in cap space. Soon to be 31 years old, Everett will look for work as a backup tight end in 2025.21 February 2025
Per The Baltimore Banner’s team of journalists reporting on the accusations, league officials were in Baltimore this week to speak with the three women. Two more women are expected to meet with the league in the coming weeks. There a 16 massage therapists spanning eight spas who have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior. Head coach John Harbaugh previously said the Ravens have a “kind of zero tolerance” policy for players accused of sexual misconduct. The Ravens will likely let the lea ...21 February 2025
The Bengals are getting their big names squared away early with Adomitis and punter Ryan Rehkow both receiving contract extensions in the past week. Adomitis signed in Cincy as a UDFA in 2022 and has been with the team ever since. He logged three special teams tackles in 2024.21 February 2025
Gladstone is one of five finalists for the Jags’ general manager vacancy. He previously participated in a virtual interview and is in Jacksonville for his second interview with the team. Gladstone has been with the Rams for eight seasons and has held his current title for four. Though the Rams haven’t always had the most resources during the draft, Gladstone’s department hit it out of the park this time around, nabbing a pair of standout defensive linemen in eventual DROY Jared Verse and B ...21 February 2025
Staley was always going to be the pick once New Orleans tabbed Kellen Moore as their next head coach. Moore spent a year as the Chargers’ offensive coordinator during Staley’s tenure as the team’s head coach. The roles will be reversed in The Big Easy. Staley called the league’s top defense in his only season as the Rams’ defensive coordinator before struggling to get his side of the ball in order with the Chargers. After the team fired him in 2023, Staley joined the 49ers staff. If al ...
