Greg Auman NFC South Reporter Two quotes from the Falcons’ offseason workouts have fans — both in Atlanta and all over fantasy football — excited about the potential of an even larger role for running back Bijan Robinson in his second NFL season. “I don’t know what the plan is,” Robinson said during the final week of OTA workouts. “But …

USATSI With every new quarterback contract in the NFL, more eyebrows are raised at the inevitability of record-setting dollar amounts at the position, with even inconsistent and relatively unproven signal-callers commanding historic hauls. The league is well aware of the situation, according to NFL Media, with some team owners privately discussing the possibility of a separate cap on quarterback salaries. …

Following the Dallas Cowboys’ inactive “all-in” offseason that transformed into the spring of “get it done with less,” the team has been on the hunt for remaining free agents to fill out the margins of their 90-man roster ahead of training camp in late July. They have filled 88 of their 90 spots, and they are looking into potentially filling the …

There was a lot to like from Jordan Love in 2023 — but is he being over-ranked (or under-ranked) this season? (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images) This is the first part of a new series that will examine players who are tough to rank, beginning with Jordan Love. PROS After an inconsistent first half of the season, Love ranked second …

J.J. McCarthy was deemed a first-round talent on the gridiron. But if his first pitch at Target Field is any indication, the new Minnesota Vikings quarterback is far from one on the diamond. While McCarthy was one of the most accurate quarterbacks in college football last season (72.3 completion percentage), that skill wasn’t on display when he took the mound …

Getty Images The Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback competition between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields brewing this summer. Wilson is in the “pole position” now, but Fields will get every opportunity to challenge him for the job in training camp. After what the Steelers experienced at quarterback last season, general manager Omar Khan couldn’t be happier with how the position …

The dual-threat quarterback has never been more prevalent in the NFL. Lamar Jackson has set records for 1,000-yard rushing seasons while Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts have reached single-season marks for rushing touchdowns. Simply put, all three quarterbacks are significantly climbing up the record books for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. Michael Vick and Cam Newton set …

As he always does around this time of year, CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco released his list of the Top 100 players in the NFL. Once again, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes checks in at the very top of said list. That is wholly unsurprising.  There are some surprises on there, though, even if they don’t come inside the …

We are less than three months away from opening night of the 2024 NFL season, when the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. We’ve already seen blockbuster deals, surprise trades and major players retiring, and there’s still plenty of offseason to go.  Last season we saw some younger players emerge as stars, while others …

The 2024 NFL Draft is all about projection, but teams spend a lot of money to take as much guesswork as possible out of the equation. Taking a sample size of the past five years, CBSSports.com was able to provide some insight into the prototypical player at each offensive position, as well as where teams are able to get them …

As the presiding judge ponders whether to dump the Sunday Ticket class action based on his belief that the plaintiffs’ lawyers are screwing the pooch (it’s an industry term), plenty of facts point to the notion that the NFL deliberately rigged the price of the out-of-market Sunday Ticket package to protect the CBS and Fox in-market packages. Plenty don’t. Former …

Nowadays, to be selected to the Pro Bowl is all but a ceremonial honor, with the NFL’s recent skills competition format replacing the full-contact exhibition. In some cases, the exclusivity of being selected has also changed, with frequent opt-outs enabling lesser-known players (see: former Baltimore Ravens backup Tyler Huntley) to inherit all-star credentials. Even still, few accolades are more widely …

The Kansas City Chiefs had every intent to remain at Arrowhead Stadium, extending the lease in a renovated facility and stadium complex that would keep the franchise in the state of Missouri for the next several decades. The renovation plans still have a hurdle to clear, however, and the state of Kansas is officially ready to pounce.  Kansas lawmakers approved …

Getty Images J.J. McCarthy’s first public throw as a professional athlete did not go according to plan. The No. 10 overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings was invited to throw out the first pitch before the Twins’ Tuesday night matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it’s probably a toss he’d like to have back. The Michigan product threw his …
