ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss expects the Cardinals to be a running back by committee “to a certain degree.”

01 April 2026

Weinfuss has a lengthy profile of Tyler Allgeier’s decision to join the Cardinals that explicitly states several times things like “Allgeier said the Cardinals had not discussed his role” and "[h]ow the reps will be divided is yet to be seen.” It’s not wildly encouraging news for Allgeier’s fantasy prospects as the run-first option in a backfield of a team that figures to be trailing often in 2026. Allgeier is still probably the bet to lead the committee, but he’s probably deep in ...

Titans signed WR Lance McCutcheon to a one-year contract.

01 April 2026

It’s the latest part of a masterclass by the Titans on April 1, 2026, as they have signed four different players that we can barely find anything to say about. McCutcheon had announced his retirement earlier in the offseason, but instead will report to Tennessee for training camp. He hasn’t played in an NFL game since the 2022 season.

ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes Josh Downs will have a bigger role in the Colts offense in 2026.

01 April 2026

Holder quotes Colts GM Chris Ballard as saying “I think Josh Downs is freaking good. I do. I’ve always thought he’s good. I think allowing him some more opportunities, we’re going to see some of the special stuff you’ve seen in the past, but more.” Downs probably is in line for the WR4 discussion in 2026 with Michael Pittman off to Pittsburgh, in what amounts to a make-or-break season in his walk year. We’d feel more comfortable boosting Downs if we were sure Daniel Jones were goin ...

Falcons re-signed DE/LB DeAngelo Malone to a one-year deal.

01 April 2026

He’ll continue his special teams journey in Atlanta, assuming he makes the final roster.

Titans signed RB Michael Carter, formerly of the Cardinals.

01 April 2026

Carter, who turns 27 in May, somehow kept resurfacing in Arizona’s running back room last year. Just when you thought he was out of the rotation, someone new would get hurt. Reunited with Robert Saleh in Tennessee, Carter is likely just a depth add at this point, and certainly not guaranteed to have a roster spot.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Kirk Cousins is “considered a prime option” for the Raiders as they look to pair a veteran quarterback with Fernando Mendoza.

01 April 2026

The Raiders apparently did have Joe Flacco in mind for this role at some point, per Fowler, so perhaps it’s not quite as one-track-focused on Cousins it has appeared. Other veteran non-Cousins names still on the market include Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Tyrod Taylor.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports there are “rumblings about a potential trade” for the Jets at wide receiver, and that Dontayvion Wicks and Brian Thomas Jr. are “among the names bandied about.”

01 April 2026

We don’t really believe Thomas is on the table unless the Jets are going to give up a first and more, but Wicks is an attainable option for the Jets. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Wicks is available in trade ahead of free agency. Wicks is entering the final year of his rookie contract and isn’t considered a building block for the Packers, so he’d probably only cost a Day 3 pick if the Jets were interested.

ESPN’s Michael DiRocco reports the Jaguars have had preliminary discussions about extensions for WR Parker Washington, TE Brenton Strange, and EDGE Travon Walker.

01 April 2026

It was pointed out by John Shipley a few days ago that Wan’Dale Robinson’s free agent contract might be a starting point for the Washington extension. Walker is entering his final season under his rookie contract’s fifth-year option. Strange and Washington are both on the final year of their rookie contracts. The Jaguars have been uncharacteristically (and probably smartly, given their success last year) quiet in free agency, so perhaps they’re just focusing on locking up their core.

Titans signed QB Hendon Hooker.

01 April 2026

With Cam Ward, Mitchell Trubisky, and Will Levis already on the roster, perhaps this is a signal that we should expect a Levis trade soon. The other interpretation is that Hooker is just being added as a camp arm. The 28-year-old has yet to offer more than mop-up duty in an NFL game.

Titans signed WR K.J. Osborn to a one-year contract.

01 April 2026

Osborn surfaced late in the 2025 season with the Falcons’ practice squad after being released by the Commanders at last cuts. The former Vikings fifth-rounder is entering his age-29 season and will likely battle for an end-of-roster spot in Titans camp.

9 News’ Mike Klis reports there’s a “zero percent” chance of Aaron Rodgers signing with the Broncos.

01 April 2026

In what could be a clumsy April Fool’s joke, reports of Rodgers meeting with the Broncos circulated on Wednesday, prompting several Denver beat writers to shoot down the unsourced rumors. Rogers, 42, has been in touch with Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy in recent weeks and appears primed for one more season under center for Pittsburgh. The Broncos, meanwhile, are expecting Bo Nix to be ready for training camp following the ankle injury he sustained in the postseason. Nix’s starting job ap ...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports a source within the Eagles organization believes Jalen Hurts is “not the most coachable” player.

01 April 2026

Fowler and Eagles beat writer Tim McManus quoted several team sources who were highly critical of Hurts following a disappointing 2025 season in which Hurts ranked 16th out of 40 qualifying QBs in EPA per drop back and 26th in drop back success rate, just ahead of Bryce Young and behind Jacoby Brissett. “Poor body language, not always bought in, not the most coachable and the players notice,” one source told ESPN, describing Hurts as resistant to suggestions and tweaks to the Philadelphia of ...

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said the team would make “some significant offensive changes” in 2026.

01 April 2026

Under head coach Nick Sirianni and new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, a former NFL quarterback, Lurie said the Eagles would make the tweaks necessary to bounce back after a down 2025 campaign. “This year, it was really apparent to everybody, but especially I would say to our head coach that we were able and going to make some significant offensive changes that would get us back to being a championship-level offense,” Lurie said. “We have our own proprietary metrics and ways of measuri ...

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reports Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy “hopes to have another young arm on the roster by the end of draft weekend.”

01 April 2026

McCarthy also said he hopes to develop 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard, mentioning making tweaks to 24-year-old’s footwork to help him “win from the pocket.” While Steelers owner Art Rooney II said he hopes to have Aaron Rodgers’ return decision by draft weekend, the team will need long-term plans at the quarterback position. In his first year as Steelers head coach, McCarthy will aim to develop Howard and also add his own selection from the 2026 rookie class. DeFabo reports the Steele ...

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. met with Giants head coach John Harbaugh about joining the team.

31 March 2026

Though no deal is imminent, there has been consistent reported interest between Beckham and the Giants. He began his career in New York and also played for Harbaugh in Baltimore during the 2023 season. The 33-year-old last played for the Dolphins in 2024 and is eyeing a return to the league. Harbaugh met with Beckham at the NFL’s annual league meetings in Arizona, marking some progress towards a potential reunion.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “the Rooney rule has been around a long time, we’ve adapted, we’ve changed it, and we’ll continue to do that.”

31 March 2026

Recent murmurs about changing the Rooney Rule have stemmed from the Florida Attorney General sending a letter asking for its elimination. In response, Goodell said, “we are aware of the laws and... we think the Rooney Rule is consistent with those.” The rule is intended to expand opportunities for minorities, requiring NFL teams to interview at least two external minority candidates for general manager, head coaching, and coordinator vacancies. Goodell made it clear in his press conference a ...

NFL media EVP Hans Schroeder said the league “realized fans felt like they were conflicted to choose between [MNF doubleheader games].”

31 March 2026

Schroeder said those extra games will go elsewhere on the schedule. The league was airing multiple games on Monday as part of a deal with Disney to increase total number of games aired by Disney throughout the season. Now, the league has a deal to sell Disney control of NFL Network and the MNF doubleheaders will no longer be a thing. Schroeder said the result was a miscalculation of fan interest and other windows will be looked at for airing those games.

Jets general manager Darren Mougey said the team plans to exercise EDGE Will McDonald’s fifth-year option.

31 March 2026

McDonald was taken No. 15 overall in the 2023 draft and is now eligible to have his fifth-year option picked up. In three seasons, McDonald has tallied 21.5 sacks, including back-to-back seasons of at least eight sacks. His option is expected to be around $14 million, making his contract for 2027 relatively light for a productive edge rusher. McDonald will head into year four with the Jets likely exploring extension talks to keep him long-term.

NFL team owners approved a temporary stadium lease for the Jaguars to play in Orlando in 2027.

31 March 2026

EverBank Stadium is undergoing a major renovation in 2027 — technically 2026 too, but the Jaguars will play that out with reduced capacity in Jacksonville. We’re used to imagining the Jaguars as a future English outlet, but it seems they have gotten everything together to remain in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence and Desmond Bane will battle for the Orlando spotlight in 2027.

Bills coach Joe Brady said Dalton Kincaid (knee) may be managed throughout the 2026 season.

31 March 2026

Kincaid has declined to have a torn PCL surgically repaired since 2024. “There’s a lot of things that he is pushing through that you guys might not see, and I think some of it is just learning how to play with certain elements of some movements that might not feel great, and he’s had to push through that,” Brady said. Both GM Brandon Beane and Brady alluded to having to manage Kincaid’s practice time in 2026 to keep him fresh for games and deal with pain tolerance issues. We’re not d ...
