Nathan Peterman has retired after six seasons in the NFL.

07 June 2026

Peterman only started five games, but managed an incredible 13 interceptions in 160 career attempts while becoming synonymous with horrific quarterback play. He appeared in games with the Bills, Raiders, and Bears from 2017-2023, and will reportedly become an agent for Range Sports.

Free agent CB L’Jarius Sneed visited with the Chiefs on Thursday.

07 June 2026

Clearly there was no rush to add him to the roster. It’s the first sniff of NFL interest we’ve seen for the former star cornerback since he was released by the Titans, and unsurprisingly it was with his former employers in Kansas City. We suspect this has a chance of happening at some point this offseason, but the 29-year-old Sneed is likely to sift through options ahead of training camp.

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes Joey Porter Jr. will make “around $22 million to $27 million per year” on a new contract with the Steelers.

07 June 2026

Pittsburgh has been handling in-house business over the last week, re-signing Darnell Washington and Nate Herbig to major extensions. It would not be surprising if Porter — whom DeFabo classifies as a “hold in” in OTAs — as next on the priority list.

Lions hired former Dolphins GM Chris Grier as a personnel executive.

07 June 2026

Grier was unceremoniously dumped in the middle of last season by the Dolphins after they started 2-7. Most general managers don’t get a second chance, and Grier had a long run in Miami. If nothing else, this adds a little experience to Detroit’s front office.

George Kittle (Achilles) believes he’s on track to play in Week 1 against the Rams.

06 June 2026

Kittle met with the media this week and said that the Achilles is “doing great” and he has had no setbacks. He even said it’s realistic that he could come back eight months after tearing his Achilles. The tight end turns 33 this October and still hasn’t been cleared for practice as he worked off to the side during OTAs. Jake Tonges will fill in for Kittle if he has to miss any time this season.

Bills EDGE Michael Hoecht (Achilles) said he is “trying” to be ready for training camp, but the “big goal” is to play in Week 1 against the Texans.

06 June 2026

Hoecht missed the first six games of the 2025 season due to a performance enhancing drugs suspension. He appears in Weeks 8-9, but suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture. He made a big impact while active, notching eight quarterback pressures, three sacks, one tackle and one batted pass. He has been working to the side with the strength and conditioning staff during organized team activities thus far. Getting Hoecht back early in the year, even in a rotational capacity, would be helpfu ...

New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill reports that Saints run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti plans to make the run game “fit the players.”

05 June 2026

Underhill believes RB Travis Etienne’s skillset “is exactly what the Saints need if inside zone and outside zone are going to remain the base.” That said, the Saints are also excited about Etienne’s versatility. Paganetti praised his intelligence, pass protection, route running ability and added that Etienne is more than just a one-cut runner. If RB Alvin Kamara, 30, remains with the team, Underhill believes Etienne’s presence allows the team to use Kamara selectively, rather than rely ...

New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill believes Saints RB Alvin Kamara “no longer has to be the early-down identity, the passing-game answer and the emergency button,” if he stays on the team.

05 June 2026

Underhill outlined his thoughts on the run game in a lengthy piece, exploring how run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti plans to build the run game around his players’ strengths. With RB Travis Etienne set to operate as the lead back, the team can use Kamara selectively in space, running routes, on screens and by exploiting matchups. It remains to be seen whether Kamara, 30, will remain in New Orleans, but it sounds like he could end up with a PPR-friendly FLEX role if he does.

New Orleans Football’s Nick Underhill believes Saints QB Tyler Shough will finish among the top-12 quarterbacks in passing yards this season.

05 June 2026

Underhill’s colleagues, Mike Triplett and John Hendrix, agree. Triplett was the most bearish of the bunch, saying he is not sure that Shough will be able to crack the position’s top 10. Underhill notes that Vegas sports books have Shough in a five-way tie for the sixth-best odds to lead the NFL in passing yards. He adds that he is “not sure” if he can get to sixth, but he knows for sure that he can’t get to 13th. Shough was the QB10 in per-game fantasy scoring from Weeks 8-18, and the ...

49ers TE George Kittle said WR Mike Evans is setting “the tone” for the rest of the wide receivers.

05 June 2026

Kittle described Evans as being “the first legit veteran wide receiver [he’s] had on [the] roster since Emmanuel Sanders in 2019,” adding that Evans “takes ball seriously.” The 49ers’ wide receiver corps has had its distractions over the past few seasons, but it appears as though Evans has been a stabilizing presence for the offense. Teammates told The Athletic’s Matt Barrows that “Evans’ length and route-running ability have already been evident,” and Evans has played very w ...

Texans waived WR Jalen Walthall.

05 June 2026

Per NBC Sports Houston’s Aaron Wilson, the rookie wide receiver has now cleared waivers and is a free agent. Walthall struggled to produce in his three seasons at Hawaii before breaking out after transferring to Incarnate Word in 2024. He fared well at the NFL Scouting Combine and could get a chance to make a final roster elsewhere.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said WR Tre Tucker has “got to be a playmaker for us,” while discussing Tucker’s role as the wide receiver corps’ “quiet leader.”

05 June 2026

Tucker, 25, is now the longest-tenured player in the Raiders’ wide receiver corps. Since being drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft’s third round, Tucker has had four head coaches, seven offensive coordinators, three wide receiver coaches and seven different starting quarterbacks. He has never cleared 700 yards in a single season, but his offensive environment has been a factor. Per Kubiak, Raiders receivers will line up all over the formation, as the X, Z and slot. Last year, Tucker ran 83.2 perce ...

Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) said he “kind of had a setback” while recovering from in-season meniscus surgery last year.

05 June 2026

Then on injured reserve, Benson said he was feeling good when his practice window opened, and he knew this was his “time to shine” as the Cardinals’ lead running back. Unfortunately, he started “going a little too hard” on the practice field and ended up triggering a setback. He was still working his way back onto the practice field as of earlier this week. The Cardinals are currently on break until mandatory minicamp begins on June 8th. Hopefully, Benson can resume practicing then. ES ...

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that there is still a “possibility” that the Bears remain in Chicago, Illinois.

05 June 2026

Earlier today, the team announced that they have voted to advance stadium development plans in Hammond, Indiana, though a site has not yet been chosen. Per Pelissero, the team also still has to get “the financing together [and] the legal documents together,” meaning the move has not yet been finalized. Pelissero notes that the Vikings nearly made a similarly significant location switch in the past and went so far as to make a similar public announcement about its intentions to move. Within a ...

Texans TE Marlin Klein was sidelined this week after injuring his hamstring at organized team activities.

05 June 2026

Klein’s hamstring injury is not expected to be a long-term issue. The athletic second-round rookie caught 37 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown over his final two college seasons. The Texans have a decent group of backup tight ends, though many of the veterans have fairly extensive injury histories. Klein may have a chance to earn the TE2 role this season.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts said he will run “new routes” in head coach Kevin Stefanski’s offensive scheme this season.

05 June 2026

Just yesterday, ESPN’s Dan Graziano opined that the Falcons might want to see how Pitts fits in their new offense before committing to a long-term contract. Today, his colleague Marc Raimondi published comments from Pitts, who described the tag as being “kind of like my fifth-year option, but it’s a sixth-year option.” Pitts believes that the new staff’s tag use shows that they see something in him and “trust” him. Tagged players sometimes hold out or argue for a long-term deal. No ...

Cardinals CB Sean Murphy-Bunting recently revealed he missed all of the 2025 season due to a torn ACL.

05 June 2026

Murphy-Bunting was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list in May 2025, and we never received any further detail on the matter. Now, the 28-year-old corner has revealed that he suffered a torn ACL in March of last year and also dealt with “some MCL damage.” Murphy-Bunting has spent most of his career playing on the outside, but said in an article by Zach Gershman that he expects to spend a lot of time in the nickel spot this year with Garrett Williams (Achilles) expected to miss some ...

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider reports Broncos LB Jonathon Cooper was arrested on Thursday on charges of criminal mischief with a domestic violence enhancer.

05 June 2026

Cooper was arrested on Thursday night and booked into a Douglas County jail on Friday. Few details are known about his arrest outside of the charges, but the veteran pass-rusher is reportedly scheduled to go before a judge on Friday with another hearing scheduled for Monday, per an article put out by TMZ. Cooper totaled eight sacks for the Broncos last season and is in the second year of a four-year extension he signed in 2024.

Cowboys signed No. 23 overall pick EDGE Malachi Lawrence to a four-year, $20.22 million contract.

05 June 2026


The Bears announced that they have voted to advance stadium development plans in Hammond, Indiana.
