LOS ANGELES — Puka Nacua already knows when he wants to retire.

It's not anytime soon, but it's probably a lot sooner than Rams fans might want to think about right now.

Asked during a recent podcast appearance how he might know when it's time to hang up his cleats, the 23-year-old star receiver did not hesitate in answering.

"I know I want...Read more

MIAMI — Nick Westbrook-Ikhine won’t be the Miami Dolphins’ savior.

The free agent addition is a solid NFL receiver, maybe even an NFL starter in the right scheme.

He’s got decent size (6-foot-2, 211 pounds), but is far from the next Mike Evans or DeAndre Hopkins, towering over NFL cornerbacks.

He’s scored 19 touchdowns in 78 games, ...Read more

PITTSBURGH — There's no way I was alone in picturing Aaron Rodgers walking along the Monongahela River, towel slung over his shoulders, perhaps a mile or so from the spot on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail where media members camped out for a few hours Friday.

Come on, admit it. There's no shame here.

You've seen all 4,000 or so fake photos ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy has filed a civil lawsuit against ex-fiancee Tia Jones, claiming she “schemed to extort a home, money, cars, and other valuables ... by concocting false stories of domestic violence.”

The petition was filed Monday in Williamson County, Texas. Worthy’s lawyers are seeking ...Read more

BOSTON — The New England Patriots are retaining linebacker Christian Elliss on a two-year contract, according to reports.

A restricted free agent, Elliss visited Las Vegas last week and received an offer sheet the Patriots matched before Monday’s deadline.

Ellis set several career highs last season, posting 80 tackles, 1.5 sacks and an ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — The sentence you are about to read is one that only a spoiled child could write.

It is obnoxious.

It is entitled.

It is the star-bellied sneetch of sentences.

It’s also true.

The Eagles could really use another offensive weapon.

I know, I know. Tell that to a Giants fan and watch their brain turn into a delectable pate. ...Read more

Owners of the No. 1 NFL draft pick the last two years, the Chicago Bears will have to wait until No. 10 for their first selection this year.

General manager Ryan Poles traded away the first pick in 2023, and after winding up at No. 10 following another trade, he selected right tackle Darnell Wright. The Bears kept the top pick last year and ...Read more

MINNEAPOLIS — However murky the Vikings' messaging about their quarterbacks has been this month, it has grown substantially clearer in the past 24 hours.

Did they want to keep Sam Darnold? Maybe, sort of, but only for the right price and terms (and not the ones he ended up getting from Seattle).

Were they interested in 41-year-old free agent...Read more

Let’s establish a fair and logical baseline expectation for the 2025 Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins should be a playoff team in 2025.

In the big picture, you can’t have this much talent and miss the playoffs in back-to-back years.

In the smaller picture, the Dolphins will have enough talent in 2025 to make the playoffs.

Given reasonable ...Read more

NEW YORK — Jameis Winston is a Giant.

After Matthew Stafford chose the Rams over a trade to New York and with Aaron Rodgers visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Schoen is signing the gunslinger former No. 1 overall pick Winston to finally add a veteran quarterback to the NFL’s 31st ranked offense.

Winston’s contract reportedly is a two-...Read more

PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers' facility on Friday and left without a deal after meeting with coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Omar Khan and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, sources have told the Post-Gazette.

However, his departure does not preclude the possibility the four-time league MVP could still reach agreement ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Travis Long was a few minutes from making the Eagles as the fourth quarter of the final preseason game ticked away. He signed with the Birds in 2013 as an undrafted free agent, spent a season on the practice squad while recovering from an injury that cut his college career short, and then impressed everyone during training camp ...Read more

BALTIMORE — Sarah Palin, after The New York Times wrongly linked her to a mass shooting.

Dominion Voting Systems, after Fox News aired false claims that the company rigged the 2020 election.

Members of the Sackler family, who owned Purdue Pharma, as the Oxycontin scandal unfolded.

Harvard’s president amid accusations of plagiarism.

PITTSBURGH — As recruiting pitches go, I probably wouldn't recommend the following as your deal clincher: "If you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don't, no skin off my back."

That was Cam Heyward — the most prominent voice in the Steelers' locker room — on whether he'd help recruit Aaron Rodgers here.

Heyward was speaking on his ...Read more

SEATTLE — Cooper Kupp is no DK ... and that's OK.

Cut the comparisons.

Of course, I understand the temptation, considering the circumstances. After DK Metcalf requested a trade and was subsequently shipped to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick, Kupp — who was recently released by the Los Angeles Rams — filled his roster spot. They were ...Read more

MIAMI — Terron Armstead hasn’t decided if he’ll play another season or will end his career after 12 seasons.

The man who has anchored the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line for the past three seasons, starting 38 regular-season games, could easily go either way with the decision, and the team knows this, and is supposed to be planning ...Read more

MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings closed another deal with a free-agent visitor on Wednesday, agreeing to sign receiver Rondale Moore.

Moore, who turns 25 in June, adds a different element to the Vikings receiving corps if he’s healthy. The dynamic, catch-and-run threat sat out last season with the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury suffered in ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Third time’s the charm? The Green Bay Packers hope so.

For the third consecutive offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles’ famed Tush Push is under scrutiny, and the NFL on Wednesday announced rule change proposals coming from individual teams. The Packers are officially proposing an amendment to Rule 12, Section 1, marking the ...Read more

LOS ANGELES — Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon first joined the Rams in 2023, when he signed a one-year, veteran-minimum contract about a month before training camp.

One game into last season, Witherspoon was a free agent when the Rams signed him to another one-year deal.

On Wednesday the Rams and Witherspoon once again agreed to a one-year ...Read more
