Browns QB Shedeur Sanders signs 4-year, $4.6M rookie deal
The former Colorado star's deal includes a $446,553 signing bonus, according to Sportrac.
Sanders, who was the most-talked about prospect in the draft, went to Cleveland with the 144th overall selection. The Browns traded the 166th and 192nd overall picks to the Seattle Seahawks to obtain the No. 144 pick.
Sanders, 23, was the sixth quarterback selected in the draft and the second by the Browns as they secured Oregon's Dillon Gabriel late in the third round.
The Browns also have three veteran quarterbacks on their roster: DeShaun Watson (who's injured and won't play in 2025), recently acquired Kenny Pickett and 40-year-old Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco.
Sanders, voted by the Associated Press as the second-team All-American quarterback last season, had his number retired the weekend prior to the draft at Colorado with expectations to learn his new team during the first round. Instead, he heads to rookie camp well down the totem pole and without his NFL Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, as his coach for the first time in nearly a decade.
During his four-year college career that comprised 50 games, Shedeur Sanders completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 14,347 yards, 134 touchdowns and just 27 interceptions.

Report: 49ers' Fred Warner becomes highest-paid LB
The deal would include $56 million in guaranteed money for Warner, a four-time Pro Bowler who has played for the 49ers since he was drafted out of BYU in the third round in 2018.
As a result, Warner is in line to become the NFL's highest-paid linebacker -- the second such time he achieved the feat. He signed a five-year, $95 million extension in 2021 that first put him atop the list. Now, he tops Baltimore's Roquan Smith, who landed a five-year, $100 million deal in 2023.
Warner has appeared in 115 games for the 49ers, totaling 897 tackles, 10 sacks and 10 interceptions. His 15 forced fumbles rank second in franchise history, just one behind Hall of Famer Patrick Willis.
Last year, Warner led the 49ers with 131 tackles, marking the seventh straight year he posted the team's season-high mark.
Warner's reported re-signing is just the latest in a string of key moves by San Francisco, which recently agreed to extensions with quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle.
San Francisco has advanced to at least the NFC Championship Game four times in the past six seasons, including two trips to the Super Bowl. The 49ers, though, are coming off their first missed postseason since 2020 after going 6-11.

Ravens' Derrick Henry unsure if new contract will be his last
Henry will be 33 at the end of the deal but seems to be getting better with age after posting 1,921 rushing yards in 2024, his first season with Baltimore. That total is the most ever by an NFL running back at age 30 or over.
"I think it's just focus on this year and then focus to continue to get better year after year that I'm here -- that's always going to be my focus," the 31-year-old Henry said. "I love football, I love playing. I know people look at my age, but I don't really try to focus on that. I just focus on, 'How can Derrick Henry be better, how can Derrick Henry help the Ravens get to where they want to get to?'"
Henry displayed that determination to keep improving by taking only a week off after the Ravens' AFC divisional round loss before resuming his workout routine.
Per multiple reports, Henry's extension is worth $30 million and includes $25 million fully guaranteed. ESPN and NFL Network reported last week that it's the largest per-year salary for a running back over 30 years old in NFL history.
"(It's) just both of us coming to agreement with both made sense on both sides and us both being happy with," Henry said. "I'm very happy that we were finally able to get that done."
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Henry is the NFL's active leading rusher with 11,423 yards and 106 touchdowns in 136 career games (105 starts) with the Tennessee Titans and Ravens. He has seven consecutive seasons with at least 10 rushing touchdowns.

Eagles lobbying to keep 'tush push' in play as owners' vote approaches
As reported by The Athletic, the team is actively calling other franchises to campaign for their iconic play to remain legal in the NFL.
Their effort comes on the heels of the Green Bay Packers' push of their own. In a March proposal, the Packers introduced a potential rule change that would prohibit any offensive player from pushing another from behind after immediately receiving a snap.
Under the Packers' proposal, the offense would be penalized 10 yards for a push violation.
The Packers cited player safety and pace of play as a justification for banning the play, which has become known as "tush push" and "brotherly shove," after the Eagles began running the play more regularly during the 2022 season.
Philadelphia ranked in the top 10 for fourth-down conversions and top five in conversion percentage in each of the past three seasons, largely boosted by the "tush push." Last year, the Eagles converted 70.4 percent of their conversions, fourth-best in the NFL.
League owners tabled the vote last month, but an informal vote indicated that teams were split 16-16 on the issue. Banning the play would require 24 teams to vote in favor of the Packers' rule proposal. Team owners are expected to convene in Minneapolis on Wednesday and Thursday to vote on various topics.
"There are definitely some people that have health and safety concerns, but there's just as many people that have football concerns, and that was kind of what went on in the room with the discussion," Rich McKay, chairman of the NFL competition committee, said last month.
"So I wouldn't say it was because of one particular health and safety video or discussion. It was much more about the play, the aesthetics of the play, âIs it part of what football has been traditionally, or is it more of a rugby play?' All those types of discussions."

Eagles sign coach Nick Sirianni to multiyear extension
Sirianni, 43, has compiled a 48-20 (.706) record in the regular season through his first four seasons. He is 6-3 in the playoffs with two conference championships.
"As an organization, we have always strived to create a championship culture of sustained success. Nothing is more important to fostering such an environment than having tremendous leadership," Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement.
"Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago. His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team. I am excited for what the future holds for the Philadelphia Eagles."
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Sirianni earned a reported $7 million per season under his previous deal.
Last season, Philadelphia won its second NFC East title in three years and defeated Kansas City 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. That avenged a 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
Sirianni is the first coach in NFL history to earn four playoff berths, two conference titles and a Super Bowl within his first four seasons as head coach.
Sirianni was the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts from 2018-20 before being hired in January 2021 to replace Doug Pederson.
He previously was an assistant coach for the Chiefs (2009-12) and the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers (2013-17).

Report: Former Jets GM Joe Douglas returns to Eagles
The Jets terminated Douglas midway through the 2024 season, more than a month after first firing head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8. The team was 3-8 when it parted ways with Douglas.
Douglas, 48, signed a six-year contract to become the Jets' GM in June 2019. In that span, New York compiled a record of 30-64 with zero playoff appearances, continuing a drought that dates to 2010.
Douglas was vice president of player personnel for the Eagles from 2016-19 before leaving for the Jets' post. He is credited with building the Eagles' Super-Bowl winning roster in 2017. He was also with the Baltimore Ravens from 2000-14 and the Chicago Bears in 2015.

Reports: 49ers QB Brock Purdy lands 5-year, $265M contract
Purdy's new deal will include $181 million in guaranteed money, according to the reports.
The 49ers have long wanted to lock up Purdy for the future. The former "Mr. Irrelevant" is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.
Purdy, 25, has taken the 49ers to the playoffs twice in three seasons, finishing his rookie year with a loss -- and an elbow injury -- in the NFC Championship game in January 2023 before piloting San Francisco to the Super Bowl in his second season.
Injury-ridden San Francisco posted a 6-11 record and missed the playoffs in 2024, though Purdy still threw for 3,864 yards and 20 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
Since taking over as the Niners' quarterback midway through 2022, Purdy has completed 67.5 percent of his throws for 9,518 yards, 64 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He was a Pro Bowl selection and placed fourth in league MVP voting in 2023.

Report: Derek Carrâs camp gauged outside interest before retirement
Carr's representative spoke with at least two teams that may have had interest in signing a veteran quarterback on the eve of the new league year, according to the report. The front offices of those teams were "made aware" that Carr could be open to finding a new team.
Carr was entering Year 3 of a four-year, $150 million deal he signed with New Orleans in 2023. ESPN reported that Carr had not been given formal permission to speak with other teams earlier this year.
However, he retired from the NFL last Saturday for medical reasons. The Saints said Carr had a labral tear and degenerative rotator cuff damage to his right throwing shoulder.
The timing of Carr's injury news, which was first reported in April, left some questions. Carr said he began experiencing discomfort in that shoulder since a Dec. 8 game against the New York Giants in which he hurt his left, non-throwing hand.
The Saints have a new regime in place with head coach Kellen Moore replacing Dennis Allen, who was fired after a 2-7 start to the 2024 season. New Orleans has quarterbacks Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener and second-round draft pick Tyler Shough on the roster now.

Jets release K Greg Zuerlein after difficult 2024 season
Zuerlein, 37, struggled with injuries and accuracy in 2024, the former Pro Bowler's third season with the Jets.
He missed nine games with knee issues and made only 9 of 15 field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 extra points.
Zuerlein converted 65 of 75 field goals (86.7 percent) in his first two seasons with New York.
Over 13 seasons, he made 82.2 percent of his field goals (338 of 411) and 95.6 percent of his PATs (395 of 413).
Zuerlein played for the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-19) and Dallas Cowboys (2020-21) before joining the Jets.
The Jets created $2.4 million in salary cap savings by releasing "Greg the Leg," who has a $2.3 million dead cap hit for 2025. They have kickers Anders Carlson and Caden Davis on the roster.
Fletcher was undrafted in 2025. He played in 22 games at Michigan State (2019-22) and 23 games at Appalachian State (2023-24), totaling 11.5 sacks and 71 tackles with two fumble recoveries.

Patriots DT Christian Barmore cleared for activity, eyes Week 1
Barmore, 25, was limited to four games last season while experiencing blood clots. He said he's been a full participant in the team's offseason workout program.
"Yeah. That's the goal," Barmore said of playing in Week 1. "I just have to keep following the medical team. But everything is looking really (good)."
Patriots first-year head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters at the NFL's annual meeting on March 31 that he could tell by Barmore's "energy and presence" that he was feeling better.
Barmore, taken by the Patriots in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, missed the first 10 games last season before playing in the next four. He then missed the rest of the season due to a recurrence of the blood clots.
In 48 career games (11 starts), Barmore has 13.5 sacks, 139 tackles, 33 quarterback hits and one forced fumble. He signed four-year, $83 million contract extension with the franchise on April 29, 2024.

Book details QB Caleb Williams' efforts to avoid Bears
"Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die," Williams' father, Carl Williams, said to ESPN writer Seth Wickersham, author of "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback," prior to the draft.
Concerned about the Bears' first-round misfires with quarterbacks Justin Fields (2021) and Mitchell Trubisky (2017), Carl Williams explored ways to avoid the draft and also get around the league's collective bargaining agreement.
"The rookie cap is just unconstitutional," Carl Williams told Wickersham, adding that the CBA is the "worst piece of s--- I've ever read. It's the worst in sports history."
Caleb Williams would have preferred going to Minnesota after hitting it off with Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell at the combine, according to the book that is due to hit shelves in September.
Despite the concerns of the Williams family, Bears general manager Ryan Poles told the former Southern California signal-caller: "We're drafting you no matter what."
The Bears declined to comment to ESPN on the revelations made in Wickersham's book.
Williams, 23, wound up starting all 17 games for Chicago as a rookie last year, completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions.
The Bears finished 5-12 and parted ways with head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron along the way.
Under new head coach Ben Johnson and new coordinator Declan Doyle, Williams and the Bears kick off the 2025 regular season on "Monday Night Football" on Sept. 8 against the Vikings at Soldier Field.

Colts apologize to Tyreek Hill, Microsoft for now-deleted video
"We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek," the team said in a statement to multiple outlets on Thursday.
The video revealed the Colts' season-opening game against the Miami Dolphins with the image of a dolphin wearing a No. 10 jersey and labeled "Hill" swimming along before being stopped by a Coast Guard boat with a siren.
Hill was pulled over outside of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami just hours before the Dolphins' season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 8, 2024. He was taken to the ground by police, handcuffed and issued two traffic citations that were later dropped.
Per the Microsoft rights violation, it likely stems from the fact that the corporation purchased Mojang, the firm behind the popular game Minecraft. The images used in the Colts' video closely resemble those of the game.

NFL to consider players competing in Olympic flag football
The resolution under consideration for next week's spring meeting in Minneapolis would permit no more than one player from each NFL team to participate.
Each team's designated international player also would be allowed to participate for his country when the Summer Games features flag football for the first time.
The NFL proposal includes a few caveats that would protect teams in case of injuries, including providing salary cap credit for any players hurt while participating and establishing "certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces."
In addition, the flag football schedule and related events cannot "unreasonably" conflict with an NFL player's team and league commitments. The gold medal game is the same week teams report to training camp.

2025 NFL schedule: Commanders set for 8 standalone games
Prepare for the Jayden Daniels show
The Washington Commanders are must-see TV these days with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels at the helm, one year after they finished 12-5 and made it an unlikely march to the NFC Championship Game.
After years of few spotlight games nationally, the Commanders are slated for eight standalone games in 2025, tying the Kansas City Chiefs for the most. Five of those games are in primetime. This included a Christmas Day matchup vs. the NFC East-rival Cowboys on Netflix. They also play their first international since 2016, facing the Dolphins in Madrid, Spain, in Nov. 16.
Browns open vs. Bengals, no primetime games
It has been a hard -- and much talked-about -- fall for the Cleveland Browns, who begin the season at home against the in-state rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 7. The Browns will play all of their games this year in the daytime.
Vikings' J.J. McCarthy to make first start vs. Bears
Second-year QB J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to return from a meniscus tear to start for the Minnesota Vikings this season, will open the regular season with a Monday night road matchup against the NFC Central-rival Chicago Bears.
McCarthy was taken by the Vikings out of Michigan with the 10th pick of the 2024 draft. He sustained a right knee injury last August and missed the entire season.
Cowboys full of Thursday games
The Dallas Cowboys will play an NFL-high four games on Thursday night this season, including three of them over a five-week stretch. And the opponents for those games are no slouches: Week 13 -- Kansas City Chiefs; Week 14 -- Detroit Lions; Week 17 -- Washington Commanders.
The Cowboys are coming off a season in which they went a disappointing 7-10.
Jets no longer primetime-worthy
Following a disappointing 5-12 season in 2024 and the departures of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams, among others, the New York Jets are headed toward relative anonymity once again.
With Rodgers at the helm, they were among the leaders in primetime or standalone games, but in 2025, they are scheduled for just two of them. Thirteen of their games are slated to be in the early (1 p.m. ET) Sunday slot.
That should allow the team to "move in silence," which has been new head coach Aaron Glenn's stated goal.
Eagles, Cowboys square off on TNF in Week 1
The reigning Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, will open the season on Thursday, Sept. 4, at home vs. the Cowboys, their bitter NFC East rivals.
Chargers, Chiefs play in Sao Paulo in Week 1
The Chargers will head to Brazil to play the Chiefs for a Friday night game on Sept. 5.
That kicks off a international schedule that includes seven regular-season games. After the Brazil matchup, these are the international games:
Sunday, Sept. 28: Vikings-Steelers in Dublin
Sunday, Oct. 5: Vikings-Browns in London
Sunday, Oct. 12: Broncos-Jets in London
Sunday, Oct. 19: Rams-Jaguars in London
Sunday, Nov. 9: Falcons-Colts in Berlin
Sunday, Nov. 16: Commanders-Dolphins in Madrid

Protect this house: NFL teams restricting fans who sell majority of season tickets
In Green Bay, Seattle, Indianapolis and Tampa Bay, current season ticket holders received warnings to consider before they sell game tickets for the upcoming season.
General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald made mention after last season of the disappearing home-field edge the Seahawks experienced during their Super Bowl contender era. Since-traded wide receiver DK Metcalf said the Packers took over Lumen Field.
Active season ticket holders in Seattle received notice that their accounts will be closely monitored during the 2025 season and renewal eligibility "may be impacted if it is determined that your tickets were primarily used for resale purposes."
In February, the Packers began canceling season tickets for anyone who had sold "100 percent of their tickets for multiple years."
The Buccaneers are permitting fans who spring for season tickets the opportunity to return tickets for two regular-season games in exchange for a credit toward 2026 season tickets.

Comprehensive Deion Sanders documentary coming to Netflix in 2026
A three-part documentary, "PRIME TIME," is set for a 2026 release, the streaming network announced on Wednesday.
Currently in production, the show will cover Sanders' story as a two-sport athlete who transitioned into a coaching career. It also will detail the personal story of the NFL and College Football Hall of Fame honoree -- from the relationship with his father to his suicide attempt to the blood clots that led to the amputation of two of the ex-cornerback's toes.
"It means so much to finally be able to tell my unfiltered story, my truth," Sanders said in a press release to promote the new series. "I'm in the third quarter of my life and they call me Coach Prime.
"Y'all knew a part of me each step of the way, but you never knew Deion ... and I'm excited to share that with you. The highs and lows, the truths and tragedies and everything in between."
As a superstar athlete who transcended two sports, Sanders, 57, played 188 NFL games over 14 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (1989-1993), San Francisco 49ers (1994), Dallas Cowboys (1995-1999), Washington Redskins (2000) and Baltimore Ravens (2004-2005).
He totaled 53 interceptions, nine touchdowns, 296 tackles, five forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and one sack during his pro career.
Sanders also played 641 MLB games from 1989 to 2001, hitting .263 with 39 home runs, 168 RBIs, 308 runs and 186 stolen bases. The center fielder spent time with the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. In the 1992 World Series, Sanders went 8-for-15 with five stolen bases, four runs and two doubles as the Braves lost in six games to the Toronto Blue Jays.
Following his playing days, Sanders coached his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, throughout their youth football careers before coaching in high school and eventually being hired by Jackson State in 2020.
Coach Prime has spent the last two NCAAF seasons with the Colorado Buffaloes. He inherited a 1-11 team and radically reshaped the roster, which included bringing his sons and Travis Hunter with him from Jackson State. The Buffaloes posted a 4-8 record in 2023 before improving to 9-4 in 2024, which culminated in Hunter becoming the school's second player to win the Heisman Trophy.

Jaguars sign veteran TE Quintin Morris
Terms were not disclosed but Fox Sports reported it was a one-year deal for the 26-year-old free agent.
Morris played in 16 regular-season games for the Buffalo Bills last season and started three, catching five passes for 36 yards and one touchdown. He played 79 percent of their special-teams snaps (324) and was primarily a blocking tight end behind Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid.
Over the past three seasons in Buffalo, Morris had 15 receptions for 146 yards and three scores in 45 games (four starts). He played 912 snaps on special teams and 680 on offense over that time.
The Bills did not tender him a contract after he became a restricted free agent this offseason. The Jaguars also have likely starter Brenton Strange after losing tight ends Evan Engram (Denver Broncos) and Luke Farrell (San Francisco 49ers) in free agency.

Patriots sign free agent RB Trayveon Williams
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Williams, 27, primarily a special teams player in Cincinnati, has rushed for 307 yards in 68 career games (zero starts) since the Bengals selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He also has 15 catches for 74 yards.
In a corresponding move, the Patriots released defensive tackle Eric Johnson II, who was claimed off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts last August.
Johnson, 26, recorded 17 tackles in 11 games (zero starts) for the Pats last season.

Packers OL Elgton Jenkins skips workouts in reported contract rift
Jenkins, who is making the transition from left guard to center and has also logged snaps at tackle, has two years remaining on a four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022.
Packers offensive coordinator Andy Stenavich said Monday that Jenkins is on board with the position switch. ESPN, citing sources, reported Jenkins believes it should come with more financial security. He has no remaining guaranteed money on his contract.
At an average annual salary of $17 million per year, Jenkins' current deal would make him the second-highest-paid center in the NFL along with Cam Jurgens (Eagles), behind only Chiefs All-Pro Creed Humphrey ($18 million).
Jenkins turns 30 in December and bumps inside to make room for free agent addition Aaron Banks to play left guard. The Packers also selected Anthony Belton (55th overall) and seventh-rounder John Williams in their 2025 draft class.
Jenkins was a second-round pick in 2019 and played center in college. General manager Brian Gutekunst has shown little interest in extending contracts for players with more than one season left on an existing contract.
"We feel he's got a chance to be an All-Pro center. We've talked about it a lot, how versatility plays into our offensive line, and having guys that can move to different spots," Gutekunst said. "And Elgton's one of those guys who can play all five spots, so he's a luxury. I'm excited to see what he can do at center, as well."
