No, running backs were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft — so it’s a challenge to sort which runners will be the most effective as rookies.  In what was mostly deemed a “bad” running back class, the 2024 collection together featured a diverse collection of talented runners who just didn’t carry immense hype into the draft …

Titans quarterback Will Levis isn’t getting totally away from football during the break leading into training camp. Levis told head coach Brian Callahan during OTAs that he felt something was off with his throwing mechanics and that he wants to be “more stationary” when delivering passes. The team worked with him on that through the end of the offseason program …

The Patriots opting to hire former New England linebacker (2008-2015) and former linebackers coach (2019-2023) Jerod Mayo to be Bill Belichick’s successor as their head coach surprised some, but not a couple of his former teammates.  Both retired tight Rob Gronkowski and retired wide receiver Julian Edelman clocked Mayo’s football acumen early on in their time as his Patriots teammates.  …

The Jaguars struck a deal to secure their future in Jacksonville this week and team owner Shad Khan would like to spend less time wading through the free agent market over the course of that future.

It’s that special time of the NFL offseason where we are caught in limbo between OTAs and training camp. For the most part, there’s not all that much happening on a day-to-day basis. Teams are gearing up to start gearing up for the season, if that makes sense. But given that we do have this nice break, it’s a good …

The biggest expense for the NFL arising from Thursday’s verdict will be the $14.088 billion ($4.696 billion, times three) for antitrust violations arising from the Sunday Ticket class action. There will be other expenses. The antitrust laws allow for the recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees. Given that the case goes back nine years, the final bill submitted by the lawyers …

Editor’s Note: This is the final edition of a five-part series that dives deep into NFL quarterbacks making sudden, massive improvement, which we’ve dubbed “Quarterback Leap Week.” Here’s what’s been published so far: Trading for veteran quarterbacks was the obvious play for NFL teams in 2022, after the Buccaneers and Rams had won Super Bowls in their first seasons with …

Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab discuss how the Saints can get back to relevancy in the NFC and whether that will happen in 2024. View more Video Transcript And in my mind when you talk about the New Orleans Saints, the one big thing is who cares? And I’m not saying this to attack Saints fans of the …

Emily Kaplan, ESPNJun 28, 2024, 07:55 AM ET CloseEmily Kaplan is ESPN’s national NHL reporter. Draft day is here (7 p.m. ET on ESPN) and this year, more than in years past, people around the league are preparing for fireworks. I’ve had four general managers tell me they’re open to moving their first-round picks, and they’re not alone, though it …

You might have forgotten that the New Orleans Saints finished last season with a winning record. They were 9-8. It would have been more fitting if they found a way to finish 8-8-1, because since the end of the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era the Saints have settled into boring mediocrity with no end in sight. They’re 25-26 the past three …

When it comes to the $4.696 billion verdict (which by law becomes $14.088 billion) in the Sunday Ticket class action, the NFL is on its own. None of the money comes from the revenue that is split between the league and the NFL Players Association. All of it comes from the money held in the coffers of the 32 franchises. …

Bills pass rusher Von Miller didn’t record a single sack in 2023, but he says it’s unfair to judge him because he was still dealing with the effects of his 2022 knee injury. Miller says the torn ACL he suffered in 2022 was so bad that it could have cost him the entire 2023 season. He played through it as …
