The Lions have released CB Terrion Arnold, who is accused of multiple felonies, including four counts each of kidnapping and assault.

Athletes being real and speaking their minds is a beautiful thing.

Scary news for Kyle Shanahan.

$9.6B for the Seahawks , a new benchmark.

My second-favorite Jude of all time. Unbelievable performance.

The Cardinals and veteran QB Jacoby Brissett have reached a deal to increase his compensation for 2026, with a new one-year deal worth $15.5M that could reach $21M.

AZ’s starter is now locked, already having begun practicing.

Jacoby Brissett, who was serving as his own agent, gets his increased payday and security with his role as starter

The Cardinals and veteran QB Jacoby Brissett have reached a deal to increase his compensation for 2026, with a new one-year deal worth $15.5M that could reach $21M. AZ’s starter is now locked, already having begun practicing.

The Saints and RB Alvin Kamara agreed to terms on a deal that will pay him a base salary of $6M for the 2026 season with a chance to make $8.5M with incentives.

A win-win that almost certainly means Kamara will finish his career with New Orleans.

The return of the '76 jersey.

The Packers and standout DT Devonte Wyatt have agreed to terms on a 3-year, $57M contract extension with a $20M signing bonus. A big-time payday.

The Raiders have signed No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to his four-year, $57.27M fully guaranteed contract with a fifth year option.

A statement from the family of Calais Campbell:

The Bengals will wear white helmets on their New Year’s Eve against the Ravens for the first-ever White Bengal Stripe game. This combines the White Bengal and Stripe The Jungle to create a stadium-wide white-and-black tiger-stripe effect.

A memo to NFL teams about the impending Seahawks sale:

Let's go.

Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended (Gift Article)

Balogun was set to be suspended for Monday's game at Lumen Field in Seattle but is now free to be selected.

The Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list to start training camp, as he continues to recover from a torn ACL.

From FIFA President Gianni Infantino:

The Rams and No. 13 overall pick Ty Simpson have agreed to terms on his rookie contract, and he is signing his four-year, $25.4M fully guaranteed deal with a fifth-year option.

He gets a $14.94M signing bonus in a deal done by Ed Berry of CAA Sports.

Cowboys DE Charles Snowden has been suspended for the first three games of the season because of a DUI. The news of his personal conduct violation was on today’s wire.

The Aaron Donald news gets more and more interesting by the minute. I would guess that if he comes back, it'll be in the middle of Rams training camp.

The Cardinals and rookie QB Carson Beck have agreed to terms, and he will sign his four-year, $7.4M contract, sources say. One of the last picks to sign.

Here is a statement from Brendan Sorsby:

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel on star CB Christian Gonzalez: “He is here and I would expect him to participate. Those contract negotiations are ongoing... I'm excited about having Christian back here with us.”

July 15 is often a dramatic day in the NFL calendar, the deadline for franchised players to get long-term deals — or not.

Yet with Cowboys star WR George Pickens playing on the $27.3M franchise tag with plans to cash in next offseason, there is no such drama this year.
