NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Aaron Rodgers is meeting with the Steelers for “further discussion.”

07 May 2026

The news originally came from Adam Crowley of 93.7 The Fan. Crowley noted that Rodgers is expected to be in town Thursday night, “with the expectation of him signing this weekend.” Rapoport wasn’t as steadfast in a deal getting done, but he did confirm that Rodgers is in Pittsburgh to work on a potential contract. There were previous reports that Rodgers could be interested in signing with the Cardinals, but that fit never made sense for either side. All signs point to Rodgers re-upping wi ...

ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss reports rumors of QB Aaron Rodgers going to the Cardinals are “not at all” real.

06 May 2026

The sky is blue. No kidding. It wouldn’t make sense for a soon-to-be 43-year-old quarterback to play for the franchise with the highest probability in the league to be tanking in 2026 as they enter year one of a complete rebuild. These “rumors” always seemed to be unfounded, with Weinfuss simply relaying the obvious. Even if the rumors bore any weight, the Steelers hold the right of first refusal on Rodgers and could match any offer sheet sent his way by another team. Rodgers is highly lik ...

Free agent K Younghoe Koo will attend the Saints’ rookie minicamp.

06 May 2026

Koo was released by the Falcons in the middle of the 2025 season. He landed with the Giants, though that did not last long. Koo missed two kicks in his fifth game with the team, infamously stumbling and whiffing the try entirely on his second attempt of the day. By all accounts, Koo has a case of the yips. If he gets over that issue this offseason, Koo could be a meaningful addition to the Saints or another team.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Travis Hunter “is set to play both sides of the ball” in 2026.

06 May 2026

Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Gladstone also noted that he expects Hunter’s usage at cornerback to rise. Hunter played 324 snaps on offense last year compared to just 164 on defense. If we’re taking Gladstone at face value, the reports of Hunter’s demise at wide receiver have been greatly exaggerated. Hunter appeared to be on the precipice of a breakout before going down with a season-ending knee injury. The team talked up his abilities as a receiver days before he posted an 8-101-1 rec ...

Free agent quarterback Kyle Trask will attend the Saints’ rookie minicamp.

06 May 2026

Per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, Easton Stick will also have a tryout during mincamp. Trask re-signed with the Bucs last offseason but failed to crack the roster at the end of training camp. He later joined the Falcons’ practice squad. The Saints currently have Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson as options to back up Tyler Shough.

Jets OC Frank Reich said Geno Smith is the “perfect fit” for his offense.

06 May 2026

Reich bravely claimed, “I think his best football’s ahead of him.” Sure. Smith is coming off a year in which he ranked 29th in EPA per play, trailing only Cam Ward. He only appeared in 15 games and still led the NFL in sacks (55) and interceptions (17). A change in scenery was certainly in order for Geno, though he may be better off as a backup at this point in his career. With the Jets making an offer to Russell Wilson this week, it’s clear they aren’t satisfied with the state of thei ...

Free agent QB Russell Wilson said the Jets offered him a contract, but he is also considering a job in media.

06 May 2026

CBS is reportedly interested in bringing Wilson on as an anayst, and we doubt they are the only network reaching out to the former Super Bowl champion. On the other hand, Wilson visited with the Jets just after the 2026 NFL Draft, and the team is willing to bring him on as their QB2. While it isn’t a glamorous job, it might be Wilson’s last shot at playing in the NFL. For now, Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook are all on the able as backup options for Geno Smith this year.

Eagles promoted vice president of football operations and strategy Adam Berry to assistant general manager.

06 May 2026

Berry was hired as the director of football operations and strategy in 2023. He was then promoted in 2024. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Berry “has played a key role in player personnel, cap strategy and negotiations.” After quickly rising up the ranks in Philly, all signs point to Berry receiving GM interest from other teams in the near future. He is the twin brother of current Browns GM Andrew Berry.

ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime reports Texans QB C.J. Stroud has changed his diet this offseason.

06 May 2026

Stroud, according to DJ Bien-Aime, cut out all sugar and consumed nothing but “water and lean food.” This has led to some offseason weight loss as Stroud angles for a new contract with the Texans. “Expect a slimmer Stroud,” Bien-Aime said. Houston might exercise Stroud’s fifth-year option before committing to him long term after his ugly end to the 2025 season. Stroud had a solid 2025 season overall, finishing 12th in EPA per drop back — just behind Jared Goff — and 20th in QB accu ...

49ers vice president of player personnel Tariq Ahmad said the team drafted WR De’Zhaun Stribling because of his toughness and work ethic.

06 May 2026

Niners officials said Stribling, surprisingly taken with the 33rd pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, was a “gold helmet” rookie prospect due to his intangibles. “Our coach loved him right away. Leadership. Goal-oriented,” Ahmad said of Stribling, 23, who had a 38th percentile college target share at Ole Miss. “The passion the guy has, the work ethic, the toughness, the durability. He checks all those boxes at a high level.” Entering the league, Stribling’s production leaves a lot to be de ...

Vikings requested an interview with Bills assistant general manager Terrance Gray for the team’s general manager vacancy.

06 May 2026

It’s a bit of a surprise the Vikings have left their GM spot open after firing former GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in late January. Gray has been a popular name in GM searches over the past couple offseasons. He landed an interviews for the Jaguars and Titans open general manager positions in February 2025. Gray, who’s been with the Bills since 2017, would take over a front office charged with figuring out how to navigate the team’s disastrous JJ McCarthy draft pick and keeping together a defensi ...

Free agent WR Stefon Diggs was found not guilty of assault Tuesday.

05 May 2026

Diggs was facing assault chargers brought forward from a private chef, allegedly involving a pay dispute. The veteran wide receiver declined to take the stand in his own defense but prosecutors were ultimately unable to prove foul play, finding the claims unfounded due to a lack of evidence. Diggs should undoubtedly find his free agent market heating up in the coming days now that his recent off-field issues are behind him, widely regarded as one of the top free agent wide receiver available on ...

Broncos agreed to terms with LB Red Murdock on a four-year, $4.5 million contract.

05 May 2026

Mr. Irrelevant gets a $122,600 signing bonus as he becomes the first of seven Denver draft picks to sign his rookie contract. Rookies report to mimi-camp in Denver this weekend.

Giants claimed DT Zacch Pickens off waivers from the Chiefs.

05 May 2026

Pickens has only three starts across 29 professional appearances during his three-year NFL career, making this a depth move for a team that has almost completely overhauled their front seven this offseason. It is likely that Pickens will be competing for a roster spot this summer.

Giants agreed to terms with DL DJ Reader on a two-year, $12.5 million contract.

05 May 2026

The deal includes $5.25 million in guaranteed money, all of which is held in the first year of the contract. Reader will make a maximum of $6.5 million in 2026, setting up a team-friendly contract that appears to have a clear path for the two sides to move on after the first year. Reader previously visited the Giants prior to the team trading away Dexter Lawrence, finalizing his contract in time for organized team activities later this month. The 10-year veteran should immediately enter the star ...

Cowboys are hosting free agent CB Adoree’ Jackson on Tuesday.

05 May 2026

Jackson played for the Eagles in 2025 after spending the previous four seasons with the Giants, registering 55 combined tackles and 11 passes defended in 10 starts and 14 appearances. The soon-to-be 31-year-old continued to demonstrate that he has juice left in the tank but is likely best served as a team’s third cornerback at this point in his career. The Cowboys invested heavily in their secondary this offseason, adding Jalen Thompson, P.J. Locke, and Cobie Durant in free agency and drafting ...

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said he expects EDGE Micah Parsons and TE Tucker Kraft back “early in the season.”

05 May 2026

“They’re doing great,” Gutekunst said on an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Tuck’s been in here every day, and he’s obviously a little bit ahead of schedule, just because his injury happened earlier than Micah’s did. But Micah’s such a - he’s a little bit of a freak. So I think some of that has taken over, and he’s doing really well, as well.” He continued, “So, certainly expect both of those guys back early in the season. And they’ll be a big part of what we’re doi ...

Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll praised WR Calvin Ridley as a “good player.”

05 May 2026

Ridley in March restructured his contract with the Titans to remain in Tennessee for at least one more season following a terrible 2025 campaign in which he totaled 303 yards over seven games before a season-ending ankle injury. Ridley played under Daboll at Alabama before being drafted by the Falcons in 2018. “Rid is Rid,” Daboll said. “I’ve got a long-standing relationship with Rid back to 2017. He means a lot to me as a player. He was a good player for us when I was at Alabama. But as ...

Chiefs signed rookie RB Emmett Johnson to a four-year contract.

05 May 2026

Chiefs front office officials said last week that they were shocked Johnson was still available in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. KC traded up to take Johnson, 22, who had 1,823 total yards in 2025 at Nebraska. Johnson enters the NFL with a 100th percentile college dominator rating along with a 99th percentile college target share. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid recently said he was impressed with Johnson’s pass catching and compared him favorably to LeSean McCoy. With a solid offseason J ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the criminal charges against L’Jarius Sneed have been dismissed.

05 May 2026

Sneed had been “charged with aggravated assault that was reduced by the grand jury to the misdemeanor offense of failure to report the commission of a felony,” according to Schefter. That could clear the way for the mega-bust to sign on with a cornerback-needy team in the coming weeks. Sneed, 29, was released by the Titans in March after signing four-year, $76.4 million deal in 2024 that included $55 million in guaranteed money. He will probably have to settle for a prove-it deal for 2026.
