Advertise With Pro Football Rumors
The Trade Rumors network consists of Pro Football Rumors, MLB Trade Rumors, Hoops Rumors, and Pro Hockey Rumors. In aggregate, our four sites received 389 million pageviews in 2023. For details on advertising opportunities, please check out our media kit here.
Regarding The PFR Comment Section
As Pro Football Rumors has grown, so too has our commenting community. I have dropped the ball on keeping up with the necessary comment moderation. We’re now putting the required resources toward maintaining respectful discussion here at PFR. It won’t be perfect, but it will be better.
Here’s how you can help:
- Review our commenting policy, which was recently updated. One addition: unnecessary political discussion is not allowed.
- Every comment has a “Flag” link next to it when viewed on the website. Please help us out by flagging comments that violate the policy. We will then review those comments. The Flag Comment feature has not yet been added to the app but is on the roadmap.
- If someone is violating the commenting policy, don’t take any action other than flagging their comments. Engaging with them will not help the situation.
Support Pro Football Rumors And Go Ad-Free
For the past six years, all of the revenue generated by this website came from banner ads. Though ad rates had been dropping prior to 2020, we’ve also seen an increase in traffic to make up for it. Free websites supported only by advertising seemed to be a thing of the past, but the model was working well enough for us.
Then COVID-19 hit, reducing ad rates significantly at Pro Football Rumors. In April, I wrote a post explaining our situation. I was heartened by the response in the comments. Many longtime readers urged me to create a way to support the websites directly.
Given the devastation of COVID-19, the status of a football website is not high on anyone’s priority list. We’ll continue covering NFL free agency, draft, and trade news with the same devotion we’ve had over the past six years. The free, ad-supported Pro Football Rumors remains unchanged. But for those regular readers who have the means and desire to support Pro Football Rumors directly, we’ve created Trade Rumors Front Office.
For $29.99 per year, Trade Rumors Front Office provides the following benefits:
- Ad-free, faster viewing experience on Pro Football Rumors, MLB Trade Rumors, Hoops Rumors, Pro Hockey Rumors, and in the Trade Rumors iOS/Android app. Please note that we may need about a week to perfect the removal of ads from the app. The ad removal will work instantly after sign-up on the four websites.
- Exclusive member-only online chats with Pro Football Rumors head writer Zach Links.
- An exclusive Trade Rumors Front Office badge will be displayed when you comment on Pro Football Rumors.
- Most importantly, you’ll be supporting Pro Football Rumors directly and helping to ensure our longevity and growth.
The launch of Trade Rumors Front Office is a big moment for us. Please consider subscribing!

An Introduction To Pro Football Rumors
After the frenzy of free agency and the NFL Draft, Pro Football Rumors’ following across social media platforms has skyrocketed. Some readers might not be familiar with PFR, so we wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about who we are and what we do.
ProFootballRumors.com is a clearinghouse for relevant, legitimate NFL rumors. Since opening for business in 2014, we have followed the mold and best practices of MLB Trade Rumors, our sister site for baseball. Our family also includes NBA site Hoops Rumors and NHL site Pro Hockey Rumors. To get access to all four sites on your mobile device, click here to get the app for iOS and Android.
PFR is managed by editor and lead writer Zach Links. Zach is a longtime journalist who spent years covering New York’s professional teams with top outlets before transitioning to the national scene with the Trade Rumors family of sites. Zach and his staff know all 32 NFL teams inside and out and they’re committed to making PFR readers the most well-informed football fans on the web.
Using news from only the game’s most trusted reporters, PFR keeps readers abreast of every rumor and event pertaining to roster movement. In addition to being the most accurate source out there for football news, we’re also the fastest. The instant a team considers a free agent or a trade is discussed, you’ll find a full, informative article here on PFR explaining what the transaction will mean and how it could impact all parties involved. Every day, there’s a writer on call from sunrise to midnight, so there’s nothing that gets by us.
But that’s not all. PFR is much more than an NFL news aggregator and our fans have come to appreciate our original analysis in equal measure. Just this week, we ran down eight teams that could get in on free agent running back LeGarrette Blount and also broke down the fifth-year option decisions made for every first-round pick from the 2014 draft. There’s truly no offseason at PFR and we ensure that the site is a must-read, no matter what time of year.
By following PFR on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, you’ll get your football news delivered to you faster and better than ever before. Our commitment to excellence has allowed us to count top NFL reporters such as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Field Yates of ESPN, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com, Ed Werder, and dozens more among our 330K+ Twitter followers.
So, to those who are just joining us – welcome aboard! We look forward to providing you with NFL news every day, 365 days a year.
