Chargers Take Rashawn Slater

With the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have drafted Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater.

Slater didn't allow a sack last season and allowed just […]

Chicago Bears Trade Up For Justin Fields

Denver Uses Ninth Pick On Patrick Surtain II

With the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have selected Alabama defensive back Patrick Surtain II.

Detroit Lions Draft Penei Sewell

With the No. 7 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have drafted Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The best lineman in this draft, Sewell didn't allow a sack in 2019 before opting out last season. Sewell is just a monstrous blocker who will instantly help protect new Lions quarterback Jared Goff, plus […]

Bengals Draft Ja’Marr Chase

With the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, a college teammate of quarterback Joe Burrow.

49ers Use Third Pick On Trey Lance

With the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance.

Jaguars Draft Trevor Lawrence First Overall

With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni isn't ready to name a starting quarterback for the Eagles, saying that second-year passer Jalen Hurts will have to compete this summer for the job.

Former Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith has retired from the NFL. Smith, the former No. 1 overall pick for the 49ers, spent 16 seasons in the NFL.

Free agent running back Wayne Gallman visited the San Francisco 49ers on Monday. Last year, Gallman had 147 carries for the Giants, with 682 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
