  • MIN Quarterback #14

    The Athletic’s Alec Lewis writes that Sam Darnold “would almost certainly be drawn to the prospect of learning from” Raiders minority owner Tom Brady.
    Lewis, the Vikings beat writer for The Athletic, also connects Darnold to the Raiders by noting that “if the size and length of the contract are Darnold’s ultimate focus, few teams have the resources necessary to put together a better financial package.” The Raiders enter the offseason second in cap space behind the Patriots, with Over The Cap estimating that they will have around $92 million in room. Pete Carroll has experience working with well-traveled quarterbacks, and the Raiders, picking at No. 6 overall, can’t guarantee one of the draft’s top quarterbacks this year. In other words: This fit makes sense on a lot of levels.
  • PHI Defensive End #55

    Eagles activated DE Brandon Graham from injured reserve.
    The veteran defensive end missed nine games as he tended to a torn tricep but proved healthy enough to return to the active roster ahead of tomorrow’s Super Bowl against the Chiefs. No longer an every-down player, Graham should see situational work off the edge in pursuit of Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. Graham already stated that his 15th season would be his last, making his remarkable recovery from a devastating injury that much sweeter for what is likely the final game of his illustrious career.
  • CLE EDGE #95
    According to ESPN’s Jeremey Fowler, the pass rush market is poised to explode in the aftermath of Myles Garrett’s trade request.
    Fowler says that people he’s talked to agree that Garrett should be worth at least two quality draft picks including at least one first-round pick in a potential trade. With two years left on his contract, Garrett is seeking to move to a contender rather than be motivated by money. At the same time, the market for pass rushers is set to take off. Fowler says Micah Parsons is poised to eclipse Nick Bosa’s $34 million per year on his upcoming extension. T.J. Watt, Trey Hendrickson, Danielle Hunter and Maxx Crosby are all set to hit free agency in the coming years. Fowler says the expectation is that Hendrickson and Crosby will garner strong trade interest if their teams decide to entertain offers. The Raiders seem set to rebuild with Tom Brady running the show now and the Bengals are in a precarious financial situation with none of Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins or Hendrickson locked up long-term yet. There could be a race to get some of these extensions done as the contracts will only get more expensive for teams that wait.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #10
    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports NFL executives believe there will be a trade market for Cooper Kupp.
    Kupp is due a mostly guaranteed $20 million in 2025, but Fowler says the Rams are likely willing to eat a portion of the contract to facilitate a trade. Fowler lists the Patriots, Steelers, Lions, Commanders and Chiefs as teams that could be interested in acquiring the former Super Bowl MVP. While none of those options truly jump out as an obvious fit, the Rams have a track record of making it known that they’re preparing to trade a declining star player and still getting the deal they desire.
  • TEN Quarterback #8
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports multiple insiders believe the Titans could trade the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and look for a quarterback elsewhere.
    Graziano lists giving Will Levis another shot and signing either Sam Darnold or Justin Fields in free agency as alternative options for Tennessee. The belief is that the Titans’ roster needs are so extensive that they’re better off trading the top pick in the draft for a haul rather than simply walking away with a new quarterback. Graziano lists the Browns, Giants, Raiders and Jets as teams that might be interested in trading all the way up.
  • LAR Quarterback #9
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Matthew Stafford is likely to return to the Rams next season.
    Graziano cites sources close to the situation, though this isn’t exactly a bombshell of a report. Stafford returning to the Rams makes the most sense for both sides. The 37-year-old quarterback’s contract will need to be redone after he agreed to remove the guarantees he had for 2025 last offseason. While his current contract makes him movable, the Rams have no backup plan at the most important position in sports. Stafford has enjoyed nothing but success outside of one injury-riddled season since joining up with Sean McVay. He’ll need his contract redone, but there aren’t any other obstacles in the way of a reunion.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #17
    ESPN’s Jeremey Fowler reports Davante Adams would be open, if released this offseason, to signing with the Rams, Chargers or 49ers.
    Adams grew up in Northern California and attended Fresno State University, where he famously played with Derek Carr. Despite currently being on the same roster as his friend Aaron Rodgers, Fowler describes Adams’ $38.3 million cap hit for 2025 as “untenable” and something that will need to be addressed this offseason. If Rodgers remains a Jet, releasing Adams right after New York traded a conditional third-round pick for him doesn’t make a lot of sense. Perhaps a new contract could be the solution for a reunion with the Jets. Of the teams Fowler mentioned, the Rams and Chargers seem to have a more obvious need at wide receiver than the 49ers.
  • CLE Running Back #24
    Nick Chubb told reporters that he hopes to re-sign with the Browns.
    When asked whether his goal is to return to the Browns this offseason, Chubb simply said, “of course.” He later added that he’s not sure how free agency will pan out, with this being the first time hitting the open market but that he’d “like to get it done sooner than later.” Chubb can likely still operate effectively as a rotational rusher. He may be asked to take a discount of sorts though, given his recent injury history.
  • PHI Center #51
    Eagles C Cam Jurgens (back) was removed from the injury report and will play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs.
    Jurgens and Dickerson (knee) practiced in full all week, indicating the Eagles’ dominant offensive line is ready for a hard day’s work against a stout Chiefs defensive front. The Eagles will undoubtedly attempt to control the game through a high-volume rushing attack and having both Jurgens and Dickerson on-field helps increase their odds of doing so.
    The Rotoworld crew highlights their keys to Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup and offer their bold predictions.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Dallas Goedert (ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs.
    Goedert practiced in full all week, indicating his ankle injury is no longer a concern. The talented veteran tight end will play an important role in the Eagles’ concentrated target tree. The team’s No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained limited all week and although Smith is active, Goedert could easily end up functioning as the team’s No. 2 receiving weapon, should Smith’s injury limit him.
    Will Brown lead Super Bowl LIX in receiving yards?
    Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter debate who will have the most receiving yards in Super Bowl LIX, questioning whether Travis Kelce will have a vintage game and if A. J. Brown can take advantage of a good matchup.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #18
    Eagles WR/PR Britain Covey (neck) will not play in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs.
    Covey practiced in full throughout the week, but the Eagles don’t have a roster spot to spare for him. He is currently on injured reserve and would take up a roster spot if activated. Cooper DeJean will handle the punt return duties versus Kansas City.
