New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett believes the Saints would “go shopping” for a No. 2 running back candidate if RB Alvin Kamara is not on the team this season.

21 May 2026

Triplett and his colleague, Nick Underhill, joked about how RB Kendre Miller (knee) will likely once again dazzle at organized team activities, before things fizzle for him. It’s a brutal take on the 23-year-old Miller, who has dealt with ankle, hamstring and knee injuries, plus one concussion, in his short career. Miller is currently rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in October 2025, but it sounds like he is expected to participate next week. If Kamara is released, Miller should at least get a ch ...

Rams signed QB Matthew Stafford to a one-year, $55 million extension through 2027.

21 May 2026


Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said, “it’s important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we’ve got to get them on the field as much as we can.”

21 May 2026

Nothing is set in stone, but this quote is worth paying close attention to. Kubiak employed a steady two-running back rotation in the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run last year. Is it possible he would adjust his philosophy if the backfield’s talent requires him to do so? With a “slight” smile, Kubiak said that the team wants “to put a lot of pressure” on RB1 Ashton Jeanty, before noting that 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey’s “play-snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don’ ...

Giants signed general manager Joe Schoen to an extension.

21 May 2026

The contract’s details have not yet been fully disclosed, but it is reportedly a multi-year extension. Giants ownership is evidently pleased with Schoen’s offseason moves. One pre-draft report indicated that Schoen “could be done” after the 2026 NFL Draft. Evidently, things are on the upswing in New York.

North Jersey’s Art Stapleton reports that the Giants are managing LT Andrew Thomas’ (shoulder/foot) reps this spring.

21 May 2026

Stapleton initially writes that Thomas’ shoulder has been “barking” this offseason, before immediately saying that this is “strictly maintenance for his Lisfranc injury.” Thomas suffered the season-ending foot injury in 2024 and was sidelined until Week 3 last year. We had hoped that the foot injury was fully behind him and we do not like the fact that he also has a shoulder issue. Ironically, Stapleton notes that Thomas “is doing more now than he has each of the past few years at th ...

Browns coach Todd Monken said QB Shedeur Sanders’ development has “come a long way” since the team’s voluntary minicamp in April.

21 May 2026

Cleveland’s Mary Kay Cabot believes Sanders’ development from April to the first two days of organized team activities (OTAs) this week “has been profound.” It’s going to be a long spring. The Browns’ likely overhyped quarterback competition has drawn headlines for a while now. That said, Monken believes Sanders has “come miles, in terms of his progressions, getting the ball out, his understanding of concepts.” Monken has run fantasy-friendly schemes in the past. If Sanders can t ...

North Jersey’s Art Stapleton reports that Giants TE Isaiah Likely and TE Theo Johnson are currently the team’s top-two pass catchers.

21 May 2026

This is the third positive report in as many months for Likely, who is set to handle TE1 duties for his new team. Johnson is slated for the TE2 role after posting a 45/528/5 receiving line in his second NFL season last year. Giants WR1 Malik Nabers recently underwent a clean-up procedure on his knee and field-stretching WR Darius Slayton is recovering from core muscle surgery. Nabers will retake the No. 1 pass-catching role when healthy. Slayton, 29, is on the downslope. Likely is in the low-end ...

North Jersey’s Art Stapleton believes Giants WR Darnell Mooney and WR Calvin Austin “will get chances” to compete for targets.

21 May 2026

This is not much of an endorsement. With Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) and WR Darius Slayton (core muscle) sidelined by recent surgeries, Mooney and Austin are reportedly earning targets behind TE Isaiah Likely and TE Theo Johnson at organized team activities. Mooney ($10 million) and Austin ($4.5 million) signed one-year deals with the Giants in free agency. Nothing Stapleton “saw today would indicate that there’s no room” for free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. in this wide receiver group. A ...

Nashville Post’s John Glennon reports that “there was nothing but praise” for Titans WR Carnell Tate after the first week of organized team activities.

21 May 2026

We expect first-round picks to shine in these environs, so this is not necessarily a surprise, but Glennon notes that the same could not be said for the Titans’ last first-round wide receiver, Treylon Burks. Titans QB Cam Ward complimented Tate’s hands and ability to win against man coverage. Fellow WR Wan’Dale Robinson said Tate “had a really good day and was just making some incredible catches.” Tate has a chance to be WR3/FLEX-viable right away.

The Mercury News’ Cam Inman reports that 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk “is expected to be released if not traded by summer’s end.”

21 May 2026

Our most recent report on Aiyuk came from The Athletic’s Matt Barrows late in April. Barrows believes the team’s first organized team activities session, on May 27th, “might be an unofficial marker” for Aiyuk’s release. That date is just six days away and no new trade rumors have surfaced. If they wish to end the saga, we could see him hit free agency soon. It sounds like they may be committed to holding out for a trade partner this summer, though.

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy will continue utilizing the pre-snap shifts he added to his offensive scheme during his time coaching the Cowboys.

21 May 2026

McCarthy will coach QB Aaron Rodgers for the first time since 2018, which was McCarthy’s final season with the Packers. Rodgers remained in Green Bay until 2022. McCarthy’s pre-snap shift rates fluctuated significantly over his final three seasons with the Packers and generally hovered around the league average during his 2020-24 run with the Cowboys. Rodgers is reportedly looking forward to returning to the updated version of his old scheme and should have little issue adjusting to McCarthy ...

Bears CB Jaylon Johnson has not been present for the team’s voluntary organized team activities.

21 May 2026

Veterans sometimes skip voluntary activities, even when the team prefers that they attend. The Bears would undoubtedly prefer to have Johnson, their star cornerback, at the facility for spring practices following an injury-ruined 2025 season. We would too. It would be nice to know what kind of shape he is in. Johnson is an elite perimeter coverage defender, capable of dissuading quarterbacks from testing his coverage. Johnson played in Week 2, underwent core muscle surgery in September 2025 and ...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Daniel Oyefusi report that Browns QB Deshaun Watson “believes he isn’t against staying in Cleveland beyond 2026 if things go well.”

21 May 2026

Frankly, Watson might not stick with the Browns after this season if things go poorly either. If the Browns release him next offseason and designate him as a post-June 1 release, they will incur the second-largest salary cap hit in NFL history ($86.2 million), spread over the 2027 and 2028 salary caps. They still might do it, depending on how things shake out. New Browns coach Todd Monken said he has not watched much film from Watson’s “injury-riddled play” in Cleveland because he believes ...

Eagles DC Vic Fangio said DB Cooper DeJean will play safety in base formation and cover the slot in nickel.

21 May 2026

DeJean made the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2024 and earned Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors after the coaching staff began lining up on the perimeter in base in-season last year. The former second-round pick is up to 18 pass breakups and two interceptions through two NFL seasons.

Eagles LB Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) is expected to be ready for training camp after undergoing shoulder surgery.

21 May 2026

Campbell also underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder back in March 2025. He dealt with a triceps injury in-season last year. Per Eagles DC Vic Fangio, Campbell is doing well and might have a chance to participate in a limited capacity later in organized team activities. Campbell totaled 62 tackles, 14 quarterback pressures, two pass breakups and one interception in his rookie season last year.

Dolphins waived TE Jalin Conyers.

21 May 2026

Conyers suffered a leg injury in August 2025 and did not play last year. The Dolphins also waived OL Braeden Daniels and signed OT Marques Cox. Conyers, 24, tested very well at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2025 and could get a chance to make a roster elsewhere, if healthy.

Miami Herald’s C. Isaiah Smalls II reports that Dolphins RB De’Von Achane “missed at least one session of organized training activities (OTAs) with an unknown injury.”

21 May 2026

At this point, all we know is that Achane missed at least one OTA session a few days ago. His expected return timeline is unknown, but the front office has only signed free agent RB Carlos Washington Jr. in Achane’s absence. The team does not seem to be panicking. It’s entirely possible that the team is sidelining Achane out of an abundance of caution. The Dolphins’ first two OTAs occurred on May 18th and 19th. They hosted another today, which could provide more insight, and will go on bre ...

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) said, this is “probably the best” he has ever felt at this point in the year.

21 May 2026

Earlier this offseason, doctors reportedly advised against surgically repairing the PCL tear Kincaid suffered back in 2024. Instead, Kincaid was told to focus on “setting a good foundation for strength around the knee to support it.” Kincaid believes his failure to properly prepare his body for NFL rigors, and his uneasy feelings about the knee, led to compensatory hamstring issues in 2025, but Kincaid’s new preparations have drawn compliments from Bills coach Joe Brady and QB Josh Allen. ...

Lions signed LB Jack Campbell to a four-year extension through 2030.

21 May 2026


Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said “the door is not closed” for Keenan Allen to return to the Chargers.

21 May 2026

Speaking on the Up and Adams show, Hortiz said he has spoken with Allen’s representation this offseason. For now, Hortiz noted that the team is letting their younger talent grow and develop throughout the offseason program. After a down year in Chicago, Allen returned to form upon reuniting with Justin Herbert in 2025, posting an 81-777-4 receiving line with far better efficiency metrics. If Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh don’t think their receiver room is complete through OTAs and minicamp, Allen ...
