Eagles Heavily Tied To Justin Jefferson

The Philadelphia Eagles have been heavily tied to LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson in mock drafts this year at pick No. 21, but there's a chance the talented and productive receiver might not make it that deep into the first round. If Philadelphia is really interested in selecting Jefferson to help with their receiver problem, […]

Justin Herbert Gaining Steam

Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert has gained some steam through the pre-draft process heading into next week's draft.

Mike Purcell Signs Tender Offer

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Mike Purcell signed his second-round, $3.259 million restricted free-agent tender on Thursday, according to sources.

Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault recently had core muscle surgeries that were deemed successful, and there are no concerns for their recoveries.

No team has done more homework on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert than the Miami Dolphins over the last two years, and that continued recently when the team had a video call with him, according to a college football source.

Decisions On Aldon Smith, Randy Gregory To Come After Draft

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to decide whether to reinstate Dallas Cowboys pass-rushers Aldon Smith and Randy Gregory after next week's draft, according to a source.

The New York Jets have the No. 11 pick in the first round in next week's draft, and they will have a big decision to make there. Offensive line remains a big need, but they also need to surround quarterback Sam Darnold with more playmakers, mainly in the passing game. The Jets could have their […]

Cardinals Won't Rule Out A Receiver In First Round

Despite acquiring All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a trade with the Texans, Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim won't rule out considering a wide receiver in the first round of next week's draft.

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott haven't gained any traction in long-term extension talks since the Cowboys made an offer a couple of weeks ago.

Oklahoma wide receiver Ceedee Lamb and Alabama wideout Jerry Jeudy are considered the consensus top two wide receiver prospects in this loaded class in 2020.

Kenny Stills, Keke Coutee The Odd Men Out

The Houston Texans move to trade for wide receiver Brandin Cooks pushed both receivers Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee down the depth chart. Cooks, Will Fuller and Randall Cobb figure to be the starters in three-wide sets now, possibly making both Stills and Coutee expendable in either a trade or outright release. One or both […]

Alex Verdugo Has Progressed Slowly Due To Shutdown

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said that outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) hasn't progressed as quickly as the team had hoped because of the coronavirus shutdown.
