Steelers Still Interested In Kirk Cousins

By | at May 26, 2025 11:12 pm

The wait continues for Aaron Rodgers to make an official commitment to playing in 2025. Provided he does so, a deal sending him to the Steelers for at least one season remains the expectation around the league.

Rodgers has plenty of time to sign ahead of training camp (or in advance of next month’s mandatory minicamp), but before that takes place Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation carries uncertainty. One other option is still attainable this deep into the offseason, and the team is continuing to monitor that situation. The Steelers still have Kirk Cousins on their radar, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on a Sunday SportsCenter appearance (h/t Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells).

The Falcons have been open to trading Cousins for much of the offseason despite their stated willingness to keep him in place as an expensive Michael Penix Jr. backup. The four-time Pro Bowler’s preference would be a fresh start after only one year in Atlanta, but his contract represents an impediment to a trade taking place. $37.5MM in guaranteed money is owed over the course of the 2025 and ’26 seasons, and the Falcons are uninterested in retaining a large potion of that amount to facilitate a deal.

Early last month, Atlanta was reportedly asking suitors to absorb at least $20MM of Cousins’ 2025 salary for a trade to take place. To no surprise, that stance did not generate offers, although a list of interested teams remained in place just before the draft took place. The Steelers were among them, and they find themselves as the only team whose presumed starting quarterback is not already on the roster at this point.

Per Fowler’s report, a Cousins trade would have already taken place by now if the Falcons had been willing to absorb a portion (such as $7MM or $8MM) of his $27.5MM base salary for the coming season. They are clearly not prepared to do so, and that position is unlikely to change any time soon. The Browns and Vikings added to their QB depth charts during the draft (through the selection of rookies in one case, and a trade in the other). The Saints, meanwhile, are not aiming to make an outside addition in the wake of Derek Carr‘s retirement.

As a result, Pittsburgh will continue to be a team to monitor on the Cousins front. The 36-year-old is under contract through 2027 (although the Steelers could move on from him prior to that point), and he could be seen as a multi-year investment under center. Rodgers, by contrast, will likely represent a one-and-done addition presuming a contract agreement is eventually reached. Until and unless that happens, though, the Steelers will no doubt continue to keep tabs on Cousins’ availability.

The Most Lucrative ILB Contract In Each Franchise’s History

By | at May 21, 2025 10:09 pm

The 49ers have again made Fred Warner the NFL’s highest-paid off-ball linebacker. The franchise did this in 2021 as well. A team that has employed All-Pro NaVorro Bowman and Hall of Famer Patrick Willis over the past 15 years, the 49ers have spent on the high end to fortify this position. Other clubs, however, have been far more hesitant to unload significant cash to staff this job.

The $20MM-per-year linebacker club consists of only two players (Warner, Roquan Smith), but only four surpass $15MM per year presently. Last year saw the Jaguars and Jets (Foye Oluokun, C.J. Mosley) trim their priciest ILBs’ salaries in exchange for guarantees, and the Colts did not make it too far with Shaquille Leonard‘s big-ticket extension. Although some contracts handed out this offseason created optimism about this stubborn market, franchises’ pasts here do not depict a trend of paying second-level defenders.

Excluding rookie contracts and arranged by guaranteed money, here is (via OvertheCap) the richest contract each franchise has given to an off-ball ‘backer:

Arizona Cardinals

Atlanta Falcons

Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills

Milano’s first extension (in 2021) brought more in overall value and fully guaranteed money, but the 2023 pact provided more in total guarantees

Carolina Panthers

Shaq Thompson‘s 2019 extension brought a higher AAV ($13.54MM), but Kuechly’s included more in guarantees

Chicago Bears

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Dallas Cowboys

Denver Broncos

Dre Greenlaw‘s 2025 contract (three years, $31.5MM) brought a higher AAV but a lower guarantee

Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers

Houston Texans

Azeez Al-Shaair checks in atop franchise history in AAV ($11.33MM) but fell short of McKinney’s in guarantees

Indianapolis Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders

Rolando McClain‘s 2010 rookie contract, agreed to in the final year before the rookie-scale system debuted, checked in higher in terms of guarantees ($22.83MM)

Los Angeles Chargers

Kenneth Murray‘s rookie contract (a fully guaranteed $12.97MM) narrowly eclipses this deal

Los Angeles Rams

Mark Barron‘s 2016 contract brought a higher AAV ($9MM) but a lower guarantee

Miami Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings

New England Patriots

  • Jerod Mayo; December 17, 2011: Five years, $48.5MM ($27MM guaranteed)

Robert Spillane‘s $11MM AAV leads the way at this position in New England, but the recently dismissed HC’s contract brought more guaranteed money

New Orleans Saints

New York Giants

Blake Martinez‘s free agency deal included a higher AAV ($10.25MM) but a lower guaranteee

New York Jets

Philadelphia Eagles

Pittsburgh Steelers

San Francisco 49ers

Warner secured more guaranteed money on this extension than he did on his five-year 2021 deal ($40.5MM guaranteed)

Seattle Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tennessee Titans

Washington Commanders

Jamin Davis‘ fully guaranteed rookie contract brought a higher guarantee ($13.79MM)

NFC Staff Updates: Giants, Falcons, Vikings, Rams, Eagles

By | at May 18, 2025 6:01 pm

As is common in the wake of the 2025 NFL Draft, several teams have been making updates to their front offices. One of the latest such clubs to do so is the Giants, who made a number of changes to their scouting staff recently.

According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the Giants and national scout Mike Derice have parted ways. Derice had been in the role for three years, joining the team shortly after the 2022 draft. The change comes as a bit of surprise with so much positive reception to the team’s last two drafts.

A new face will join the scouting department, though, as Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that the team has hired Tyson Beane as a scouting assistant. Tyson Beane is the son of Bills general manager Brandon Beane. With Giants general manager Joe Schoen having served five years in Buffalo as Beane’s assistant general manager, it makes sense for Tyson to land in New York, if not Buffalo.

Per Raanan, the Giants also lost a member of their coaching staff, as well. Offensive assistant Angela Baker has reportedly left the organization in order to pursue opportunities elsewhere in the NFL. Baker had worked with the team since 2022.

Here are a few other staff updates from around the NFC:

  • The Falcons also made a pair of changes, per Neil Stratton of SucceedinFootball.com. Stratton noted a change in the LinkedIn account of Andy Grossman, showing a promotion from football data analyst to senior football data analyst. After working on staff at Northwestern, Grossman joined Atlanta back in 2022.
  • On the scouting side of things, Stratton adds the Falcons are saying goodbye to national scout Joel Collier, who has been with the team since 2016. After starting as a graduate assistant at Syracuse from 1988-89, Collier served as an NFL assistant coach from 1990-2007, working with the Buccaneers, Patriots, and Dolphins and taking one year in 1993 to work as a pro scout for the Patriots. His NFL coaching career came to an end when he was hired as assistant general manager of the Chiefs, a role he held for six years. He arrived in Atlanta as director of pro personnel in 2016 before being reassigned to national scout in 2019.
  • Stratton also informs us that another NFL staffer with 30-plus years of experience has parted ways with their most recent employer. The Vikings have reportedly parted ways with personnel scout Frank Acevedo. Acevedo has been in Minnesota for the last 23 years after starting his NFL career with seven seasons in Kansas City. He will explore other options in 2025.
  • The Rams also announced a number of updates to their scouting staff, per Stratton. Two scouting apprentices earned promotions as Cory Moore was named an area scout and Michael Young was named a pro scout. Roman Cooper was also hired to serve as senior scouting assistant.
  • Lastly, the Eagles have hired Smit Bajaj to serve as a quantitative analyst for the team. Bajaj was recently part of the winning team in this year’s NFL Big Data Bowl competition, helping him to earn this opportunity. Seth Walder of ESPN tells us that Bajaj will start in July.

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/16/25

By | at May 16, 2025 6:43 pm

Friday’s minor NFL moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Kansas City Chiefs

New York Jets

Every team has, at this point, officially announced their initial list of undrafted free agent rookie signings. Still, undrafted rookies continue to find opportunities here and there in the wake of the draft.

Since the departure of Alex Mack, the Falcons have been unable to find stability at the center position. Since then, Matt Hennessy, Drew Dalman, and Ryan Neuzil have been tasked with filling the role. Dalman was a dependable option for a bit, but injury caused him to miss 11 games in the past two years. Neuzil filled in for eight starts last year, and the former undrafted free agent stands to take the starting job in 2025.

Atlanta will provide him no shortage of competition, though, with depth at the position coming in the form of Gonzalez, former seventh-round pick Jovaughn Gwyn, and former undrafted free agent Matthew Cindric. Gonzalez also brings some versatility to the line after starting games at both guard and tackle at Louisville.

Fletcher transferred to Appalachian State after four years at Michigan State. He never really got on the field much with the Spartans, only earning three starts, but he immediately made an impact for the Mountaineers. In his two years with the team, Fletcher tallied 8.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss.

Multiple Teams Have Shown Interest In OLB Matt Judon

By | at May 14, 2025 4:31 pm

Four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Matt Judon went unsigned in the NFL’s initial waves of free agency signings, but he has received interest from multiple teams, per Kyle Odegard of Card Player.

Judon spoke about his 2024 season in Atlanta and his free agency plans while participating in a celebrity basketball game hosted by former Patriots teammate Mack Wilson in Arizona. Other ex-Patriots like Christian Gonzalez and Keion White were also in attendance, as well as Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

The 32-year-old Judon still thinks he can be an impact pass rusher in the NFL despite a step back in 2024; his 5.5 sacks were his fewest in a full season since his rookie year with the Ravens in 2016. He attributed his regression to a Falcons defensive scheme that asked too much of him in pass coverage.

“If you go look at the film, I dropped on 60 percent of the plays,” said Judon (via Odegard). “It’s hard to get a pick and a sack on the same play.”

While Judon seems to be exaggerating, he did see an uptick in the percentage of snaps he dropped into coverage in Atlanta compared to his time in New England, according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required). However, he had even more coverage responsibilities during his four years as a starter in Baltimore.

Jones, who has regularly skipped OTAs in his career, will likely wait until the summer to sign with a new team, though he has been in touch with multiple.

Re-signing with the Falcons would be a surprise. Though the team replaced defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake with Jeff Ulbrich this offseason – which may appeal to Judon given his issues with last year’s scheme – they also drafted two edge rushers in the first round and signed Leonard Floyd in free agency. Judon thinks that would rule out a return to Atlanta, who noted that 2024 third-rounder Bralen Trice would also factor into the defense after missing his rookie year due to a torn ACL.

Judon said he was “open to whatever” when asked about reuniting with the Ravens, but they have a similarly-full edge rushing room. As for other potential destinations, he simply said, “It’s got to make sense,” likely meaning it would take a sizable salary and/or shot at a Super Bowl to get him to put pen to paper.

Hoyland converted 79.3% of his field goal attempts for the Wyoming Cowboys across the last five years. He was ultra-consistent on extra points with 147 makes on 148 tries. Hoyland will compete with sixth-round pick Tyler Loop for the Ravens’ kicking job after the team released Justin Tucker.

Sheffield brings some much-needed experience to the Dolphins’ cornerback room, though he hasn’t started since 2020. He could provide crucial veteran depth in Miami, especially if Jalen Ramsey is traded.

Elgersma was the starting quarterback at Wilfried Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, for the last three years. In 2024, he won the Hec Crighton Trophy – the Canadian equivalent to the Heisman – and earned an invitation to the Senior Bowl, the first-ever for a Canadian QB. Elgersma was drafted in the second round of the 2025 CFL Draft by the Winnepeg Blue Bombers, but a successful tryout with the Packers will give him a chance at making an NFL roster.

Falcons Complete Rookie Draft Class Signings

By | at May 12, 2025 10:33 am

On Friday, the Falcons agreed to terms with their three mid- to late-round picks and Jalon Walker. Today, the team has now done the same with its other edge rusher selected in the first round, completing its 2025 rookie draft class signings.

James Pearce has signed his rookie deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The four-year pact is worth $16.8MM fully guaranteed and includes an $8.8MM signing bonus. Like all other Day 1 picks, Pearce can be kept under team control through 2029 via the fifth-year option.

The Tennessee product racked up 17.5 sacks across his sophomore and junior years, cementing his status as one of the best speed rushers in the 2025 class. The Falcons – long in need of help in the pass-rush department – entered the opening round of the draft planning on selecting Pearce if he was still available at pick No. 15. Atlanta wound up taking Walker after he surprisingly fell that far down the order.

In spite of that addition along the edge, the Falcons remained intent on acquiring Pearce as well. To that end, they traded back into the first round by sending the Rams a package highlighted by Atlanta’s Day 1 pick in 2026. With Walker and Pearce now in the fold, the Falcons have a pair investments aimed at providing them with a solution in terms of production along the edge for years to come.

In the latter’s case, though, red flags (including his desire to play football) emerged for certain NFL suitors. Multiple teams took Pearce off their draft boards, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports (subscription required). The Falcons were obviously not among them, and general manager Terry Fontenot spoke about his confidence in the first-team All-SEC standout’s ability to enjoy a strong pro career.

“There’s always things that are reported and there’s a perception on the outside and then there is a whole different level based off the information we know,” Fontenot said (via Kendall). “We have a really thorough process that we go through, and I believe our scouts… but then we again go through a security process and we gather a lot of information on these players and so we have a lot of confidence in our process.”

The Falcons signed Leonard Floyd in free agency, adding him to an edge rush group which includes recent draftees Arnold Ebiketie and Bralen Trice. Walker and Pearce will be counted on to contribute early and often for Atlanta, and both are now on the books.

Here’s a final look at the Falcons’ 2025 rookie draft class:

Falcons Sign First-Round OLB Jalon Walker

By | at May 9, 2025 7:30 pm

The Falcons have one of the NFL’s smaller classes to sign after taking only five rookies in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they’ll open up their signings with their top draft selection, outside linebacker Jalon Walker. The versatile defender’s first NFL contract will be a four-year, $20.56MM deal.

For much of the pre-draft process Walker was considered a top prospect at both off-ball linebacker and pass rusher. The 21-year-old spent time all over the defense throughout his time at Georgia. His first two seasons in Athens saw him spend more time on the edge than in the box. His final year with the Bulldogs, though, saw him shift to more of an off-ball role, though he still spent about 40 percent of his time on the edge.

When Atlanta announced his selection two weeks ago, they intentionally labeled him as a “defensive end,” giving some insight into how he could be used at the next level. He and fellow first-round, former-SEC pass rusher James Pearce should push Leonard Floyd and Arnold Ebiketie for some starting snaps on the edge. Even if they can’t unseat the veterans, their presence still provides a significant improvement in the depth of the position for the Falcons.

While lacking ideal size, Walker has good length and speed to rush on the outside, and his eye for the ball and change of direction ability make him much more useful than just a pure pass rusher in the backfield. He works well through the mesh of blocks along the line, but when in a one-on-one matchup, he can often get erased. Still, his tenacity and room for growth make for a strong potential future in Atlanta.

The team announced later in the day that third-round Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts, fourth-round Oklahoma safety Billy Bowman Jr., and seventh-round Wisconsin tackle Jack Nelson all signed their rookie deals today, as well. After deciding not to bring Justin Simmons back, following a disappointing 2024 campaign for the veteran, Atlanta brought in two of the draft’s top-five safeties. Watts isn’t nearly as big as former teammate Kyle Hamilton, but he tries to play with a similar aggression that can cost him at times. Still, Watts was considered a fringe-Day 1 talent who projects to push free agent addition Jordan Fuller for a starting job soon.

Bowman seems to be a perfect complement to Watts. With his smaller size and quickness, Bowman excels where Watts can struggle: in the slot. He, too, can play a bit overaggressive, but when he gets the ball, he can be a danger to score. He’ll need to improve his tackling at the NFL level, but Bowman’s recognition and coverage ability could earn him a role as a nickelback early. Nelson is a typical, homegrown Wisconsin lineman. At 6-foot-7 and 318 pounds, Nelson looks like the usual product that the Badgers produce. He doesn’t excel in any one area, but he has a lot of good traits that good coaching and development could turn into a real steal of a pick.

With this being the team’s first draft pick signing of the class, here’s a look at the work they still have to do:

  • Round 1, No. 15: Jalon Walker (LB, Georgia) (signed)
  • Round 1, No. 26 (from Rams): James Pearce (DE, Tennessee)
  • Round 3, No. 96 (from Eagles): Xavier Watts (S, Notre Dame) (signed)
  • Round 4, No. 118: Billy Bowman Jr. (S, Oklahoma) (signed)
  • Round 7, No. 218 (from Browns through Chargers): Jack Nelson (T, Wisconsin) (signed)

Dyson was cut from the team after news that running back Jonathon Brooks‘ placement on the physically unable to perform list would, in fact, still count him against the 90-man roster limit. They initially were told by the league that he would not count, but the updated guidance today necessitated that they lose a man.

Jackson joins Seattle’s undrafted free agent rookie class after they announced their 17 signees almost a week ago. A successful rookie minicamp tryout led to him securing a contract.

Similarly, Bentley, for whatever reason was also announced separately from the Colts’ UDFA class, even though the class was announced only a few hours before his signing. The 24-year-old hasn’t been a lead back since his 2020 season at SMU, but in three years apiece at SMU and Ole Miss, Bentley never averaged below five yards per carry in a season.

2026 NFL Fifth-Year Option Tracker

By | at May 1, 2025 11:19 pm

NFL teams have until May 1 to officially pick up fifth-year options on 2022 first-rounders. The 2020 CBA revamped the option structure and made them fully guaranteed, rather than guaranteed for injury only. Meanwhile, fifth-year option salaries are now determined by a blend of performance- and usage-based benchmarks:

  • Two-time Pro Bowlers (excluding alternates) will earn the same as their position’s franchise tag
  • One-time Pro Bowlers will earn the equivalent of the transition tag
  • Players who achieve any of the following will receive the average of the third-20th-highest salaries at their position:
    • At least a 75% snap rate in two of their first three seasons
    • A 75% snap average across all three seasons
    • At least 50% in each of first three seasons
  • Players who do not hit any of those benchmarks will receive the average of the third-25th top salaries at their position
