    NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league will review the sexual misconduct allegations made against Ravens K Justin Tucker.
    This was to be expected. Goodell noted that the league will review the “serious issues” surrounding Tucker while adding that the allegations could be both civil and criminal. Since news first broke about Tucker’s alleged sexual misconduct at massage parlors, the number of accusers has risen from six to 10, with one woman reporting that Tucker “stroked her inner thigh” while giving him a massage. Another provided a screenshot of an internal report she made to her employer regarding Tucker, that she no longer feels “safe or comfortable working with him.” This continues to be a developing story that may take months to resolve as the Ravens and the league continue to gather all of the facts.

    The NFL announced the Steelers will play a regular season game in Dublin, Ireland in 2025.
    The NFL continues to expand its overseas initiatives and will now be headed to Dublin next season. With the Steelers headlining as the home team, Ireland will join Spain as the two newest countries to host an NFL team in 2025, with Australia set to play host to the Rams in 2026. The Steelers are currently the only team with rights to Ireland, per the league’s Global Markets Program, although, per the league site, the Jets are also working to expand into Ireland, which could create more opportunities for future games.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell said Sam Darnold “earned the right to be a free agent” when asked about the possibility of re-signing him this offseason.
    During a news conference that followed him winning the AP Coach of the Year award, O’Connell said the team’s goal was to win a championship while adding that Darnold “is going to be a huge part of it when we do.” When asked to clarify his comments by ESPN’s Kevin Seifert after the news conference, O’Connell said his previous comments were made “in the spirit of answering a question about Darnold’s season.” Darnold’s return to Minnesota is far from a sure thing. While KOC said the Vikings would continue to stay in touch with Darnold and his agents, he also said the team is excited about J.J. McCarthy and where he’s at in his rehab as he looks to return from a knee injury that ended his rookie campaign in the preseason.
  • BUF Quarterback #17
    Josh Allen was named the 2024 Associated Press Most Valuable Player.
    It’s one of the closer MVP votes you’ll see, as Allen narrowly defeated Lamar Jackson with 27 first-place votes and 383 possible points and Jackson receiving 23 first-place nods and 362 points. Saquon Barkley finished third. Allen threw for 3,731 yards with 28 passing touchdowns and also rushed for a dozen scores with 531 yards on the ground. Jackson was also spectacular, but the fact that he had already won the award twice likely played a factor in the decision.
  • MIN Head Coach #8
    Kevin O’Connell was named NFL Coach of the Year.
    O’Connell and the Vikings flamed out in the postseason, but the 39-year-old was able to lead Minnesota to a 14-3 record even with most pundits projecting the team nowhere close to playoff contention. Dan Campbell finished second in voting, with Andy Reid pulling in third.
  • FA Tight End #85
    Antonio Gates, Jared Allen, Eric Allen and Sterling Sharpe were named to the 2025 NFL Hall of Fame class.
    Eli Manning was not elected in his first year on the ballot. Gates is widely viewed as one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the sport, and finished his career with 955 receptions and 116 receiving touchdowns. Sharpe — brother of tight end Shannon Sharpe — was dominant before his career ended short due to a neck injury, while both Allens were defensive stalwarts during their time.
  • LAR Linebacker #8
    Jared Verse was named Defensive Rookie of the Year.
    Verse was named the winner of the award after receiving 37 of the 50 first-place votes. The 24-year-old was a force for the Los Angeles defense in 2024 while picked up 4.5 sacks and four forced fumbles; and those numbers really don’t tell the story of how impactful he was while helping the Rams to a division title. Quinyon Mitchell finished second with nine first-place votes, and Verse’s teammate Braden Fiske finished third.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Joe Burrow was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
    Burrow was unsurprisingly the winner while receiving 31-of-50 first-place votes. The 28-year-old signal-caller was superb with a 43/9 TD/INT ratio and 4,918 yards after playing in just 10 games in 2024. J.K. Dobbins finished second in voting with Sam Darnold placing third.
  • PHI Running Back #26
    Saquon Barkley was named Offensive Player of the Year.
    Barkley took home the award while receiving 35 of the 50 possible first-place vote. Lamar Jackson was a distant second with 12 first-place nods, and Ja’Marr Chase finished third despite not receiving any. Barkley had a historic season in his first year with the Eagles, and he’ll have a chance to add a Super Bowl ring on Sunday to this award.
  • DEN Defensive Back #2
    Patrick Surtain II was named Defensive Player of the Year.
    Eight different players received first-place votes, but Surtain II took home 26 of those tallies. The 24-year-old corner was outstanding in 2024 with four interceptions, 11 passes passes defended and a forced fumble while helping the Broncos reach the postseason. Trey Hendrickson finished second with 11 first-place votes, with Myles Garrett finishing third with five of his own.
  • WAS Quarterback #5
    Jayden Daniels was named Offensive Rookie of the Year.
    Of course he was. Daniels had one of the best rookie campaigns ever; leading the Commanders for the NFC Title and impressing with his poise in the pocket and ability to make plays with his legs outside of it. He should be in the MVP conversation in the coming years based on everything he showed as a rookie in 2024. Daniels received 49-of-50 first-place votes, with Brock Bowers receiving the other. Bo Nix finished a distant third.
