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

$9.6B for the Seahawks , a new benchmark.

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

Scary news for Kyle Shanahan.

A memo to NFL teams about the impending Seahawks sale:

A statement from the family of Calais Campbell:

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.

The return of the '76 jersey.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Panthers LB Nic Scourton, one of their top up-and-coming players who left practice after a right knee injury, will have an MRI this afternoon to determine the severity. Coach Dave Canales would not speculate on how serious it is.

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.

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

Transactions:
— Bengals placed DT B.J. Hill on the active/PUP list and TE Josh Kattus on the active/NFI.
— Cardinals activated LT Paris Johnson Jr. from the PUP list.
— 49ers are placing George Kittle (achilles), Isaac Guerendo (pec), Mykel Williams (ACL) and
Alfred Collins (shoulder) on PUP.

The Steelers sign Drew Allar, with just one more QB to go.

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.

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.”

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

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.
