Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz didn’t have a great relationship with his teammates while with the Philadelphia Eagles, but according to those inside the Colts organization, the transition this offseason has been a smooth one. “He comes in and asks about my family, my sister and things like that,” running back Nyheim Hines said. “As a new guy, it’s pretty cool. It shows that he’s

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins seems poised for a big season after leading the team in receiving in his rookie campaign. Coaches and teammates have noticed Higgins’ physical development this offseason, but he has flown under the radar due to the addition of wideout Ja’Marr Chase in the first round this year. The 22-year-old second-year pass-catcher has a bright future, but his fantasy ceiling

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley, who opted out in 2020 due to COVID-19 and played in just two games due to injuries in 2019, could have a bounce-back year in 2021. Mosley looked slimmer and quicker during offseason practices, which should help him transition to the team’s 4-3 defensive scheme. He was one of the league’s best off-ball linebackers before his injuries in his

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was a standout during the first few days of last year’s training camp, but a shoulder injury kept him out all season. Now healthy, Hodgins stood out again during organized team activities and minicamp and shed his red non-contact jersey. He has an uphill battle in a crowded receiver room in Buffalo, but he has received praise from head

The Chicago Bears are expected to give rookie quarterback Justin Fields a lot of work in preseason games this fall. The Bears plan is to start with veteran Andy Dalton under center to begin the season, but Fields is expected to take over at some point when he’s ready. The 11th overall pick is fitting in just fine and said he’s completely on board with

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins was the team’s best receiver at minicamp, but he’s coming off the worst season of his seven-year career. “I’m not going to lie to you; it is fun,” quarterback Lamar Jackson said of Watkins. “A big receiver, nice target, fast guy. Sammy is going to make our job a lot easier.” The Ravens don’t throw the ball much as

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson, who will be a major part of special teams while also being used as a gadget guy on offense, could be used in more of a traditional running back role behind lead back Mike Davis. The only thing we really know is that Davis is expected to be the primary ball-carrier, but this will be the first time he’s

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll sees big things for tight end Gerald Everett in his first year with the team. “This is I think the fanciest, sweetest-looking receiver/tight end mix that we’ve had. He’s like a wide receiver, he’s got terrific after-the-catch run ability, really aggressive and he’s a good blocker, too,” Carroll said. The 2017 second-rounder follows offensive coordinator Shane Waldron into town.

The agents for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield don’t plan to drag out a contract extension with their client and aren’t opposed to getting something done this summer. “We pretty much know what’s coming on down the road and what’s been done. We don’t have any particular reluctance about doing a deal. But I think something will be done this summer,” Jack Mills said. “As

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed first-round outside linebacker Joe Tryon to his four-year rookie contract on Tuesday. Tryon was taken 32nd overall in the first round of this year’s NFL draft out of the University of Washington. He opted out of the 2020 season due to concerns around COVID-19, but he managed to record eight sacks in college in 2019. Depending on how ready Tryon

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan has been impressed with rookie running back Chris Evans so far this offseason. “He’s got the most natural hands for a running back that I’ve ever been around,” Callahan said. Evans was selected with the 202nd overall pick in this year’s NFL draft out of Michigan. While the 23-year-old has the physical skills, he doesn’t have a ton of

Free-agent wide receiver Golden Tate remains available on the open market after being released by the New York Giants following two disappointing seasons. The 32-year-old hasn’t received much interest, but he wants to continue playing and mentioned the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams as three teams he’d be interested in joining. Tate wouldn’t mind reuniting with quarterback Matthew Stafford in LA after

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark was arrested in Los Angeles on Sunday after police saw a submachine gun in his car. Officers noticed a bag with an Uzi sticking out in plain sight in the car, and Clark was then arrested on suspicion of having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. He was booked into an LA county jail and released Monday on

Minnesota Vikings rookie defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman was shot four times on Monday while visiting an aunt in Washington D.C. “Wrong place, wrong time,” said his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “In talking to him today, he’s going to be OK – that’s all that matters. We’re thankful he’s OK. He will make a full recovery.” The 21-year-old suffered superficial exit wounds and will not need to

Arizona Cardinals rookie linebacker Zaven Collins, who was the No. 16 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, was arrested on Sunday for excessive speed and reckless driving, according to the Scottsdale Police Department. The 22-year-old was observed going 76 mph in a 35-mph zone in Scottsdale, Ariz. Collins signed his fully guaranteed four-year rookie deal with Arizona on June 8 and is expected to

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Tyron Smith (neck), Zack Martin (calf, concussion) and La’el Collins (hip) didn’t do much on-field work during spring practices, but all three are expected to be full participants when training camp begins at the end of July. The trio combined to miss 36 games in a lost 2020 season. The Cowboys were forced to use 13 different offensive line combinations a

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, the league’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, said the team’s new offense under coordinator Joe Lombardi puts a lot more on his plate. “It’s pretty similar. I think there are just more personnel [groups], more formations and a lot more put on the quarterback with going up to the line of scrimmage,” Herbert said. The sky is

Free-agent offensive guard Trai Turner said that he’s 100 percent healthy after being limited to just nine games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season. The Chargers acquired Turner in 2020 in a trade with the Carolina Panthers, but the 28-year-old missed seven of the first eight weeks due to injury before returning for the stretch run. Turner allowed 19 pressures in his nine games

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay couldn’t be more happy with the team’s new quarterback, Matthew Stafford. “Bro, this dude’s a bad MF-er,” McVay said, laughing. “Whatever people say about him, as good as it can be, he’s even better than advertised. It makes sense to him. The guy’s ability to see the game, his ability to draw on his experiences, the feel that

Five-time Pro Bowl offensive guard Trai Turner finished up his visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, according to a source. The Steelers had the worst rushing offense in the league last year thanks to a bad offensive line, so it makes sense that they’re searching for more help up front. Pittsburgh is replacing three of their five starters along the offensive line this year.
