The NFL has not banned the tush push.

Here are the three rule changes for 2025:

If his older brother Dalvin is any indication, expect to see James Cook in pads come August.

When Dalvin was in a similar situation as a Viking, he showed up for the team's offseason activities. He was rewarded shortly after, receiving a five-year, $63 million extension a few weeks later.

Tough to run a search this late in the cycle.

Reminder: Stanford fired head coach Troy Taylor last week after investigations into complaints from athletic department employees over hostile behavior.

How NFL Draft compensatory picks work, plus four QB situations You might be wondering how the NFL’s compensatory pick system works. No? What if I told you the Patriots used one to draft Mike Vrabel? No, that was the Steelers. The Pats used one of theirs on ...

The NFL's compensatory pick system is how the Patriots landed Tom f-ing Brady. It's why the Vikings hold an extra third-round pick this year.

Today, I explored how it works: www.nytimes.com/athletic/619...

With Darnold signing in Seattle, the next domino is Aaron Rodgers. Giants or Steelers?

In 2024, Darnold's EPA per dropback fell from 0.21 (would rank 4/47 qualifying QBs) to -0.32 (46th of 47) when under pressure.

Vikings PFF offensive line ranking last year: 18th

Seahawks PFF offensive line ranking last year: 31st

Time to invest in that line, Seattle.

Bears starting lineman in 2024:

LT: Braxton Jones
LG: Teven Jenkins
C: Coleman Shelton
RG: Matt Pryor

LG: Joe Thuney
C: Drew Dalman
RG: Jonah Jackson

The No. 1 #NFL free agent available lands in Carolina, who continue to reinforce the trenches under Dave Canales.
