Much-improved Patriots defense will make Maye, offense better in practice originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots have made a massive investment in their defense during the offseason, and the team’s offense could be among the biggest beneficiaries of that improvement.
The Patriots spent more than $300 million in NFL free agency, and many of the most notable additions to the roster came on the defensive side of the ball.
The most expensive signing...
The one-year, $13.65 million deal signed over the weekend by quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a great deal for the Steelers. And if Rodgers cashes in on the full $5.85 million incentive package, it will have been an incredible deal.
To get there, the Steelers have to win the Super Bowl.
Albert Bree of SI.com has the details.
To be eligible for any of the payments, Rodgers must participate in 70 percent of the offensive snaps in the regular season. If that is threshold is satisfied, here's what he'll get:
If the Steelers make the...
Nick Chubb is now a member of the Houston Texans.
The former Cleveland Browns running back passed a physical on Monday and officially struck a deal to join the Texans, the team announced. According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's a one-year deal worth up to $5 million.
The Texans now provide a fresh start for Chubb after knee and foot injuries limited him to 10 games over the course of the prior two seasons...
At some point, a door to the Cleveland Browns' starting job was going to open for Shedeur Sanders. Little did we know it would be before he took his first snaps in this week’s...
There's no denying cornerback Jaire Alexander's talent. For the Packers, it was simply a matter of Alexander missing 20 games over the last two regular seasons.
Someone else will pounce on the defensive back, whose skills are undeniable. Now that he's a free agent, and given that he might have some hard feelings for the team that drafted him in 2018 and cut him on Monday, he could be inclined to join one of Green Bay's division rivals.
Between the Lions, Vikings, and Bears, Minnesota makes the most sense. Beyond needing a boost in the defensive backfield, having Alexander on the team means not having to worry about Alexander covering receiver Justin Jefferson.
They haven't faced each other since Week 17 of the 2022 season, when Alexander held Jefferson to one catch for 15 yards and mocked his Griddy...
The NFL will allow its players to participate in flag football in the 2028 Olympics, and several have publicly expressed interest. Count Falcons running back Bijan Robinson among those.
"I feel like it's always an honor to play for your country," Robinson said, via video from Cory Muse of KVUE. "Like, you always want to play for your country. I would love to show my skillset on that type of stage.
"So, I think it's going to come down to our schedule and where it lies, and if the teams even let us go. But I would love to play if given the opportunity. We'll see. I don't want it to affect my team and what we've got going here."
Robinson grew up playing flag football in the offseason, participating in Texas' 7-on-7 competitions every summer. He agrees with current flag football players,...
Veteran running back Nick Chubb officially has his new home in Houston.
Chubb passed his physical and signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Texans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The deal gives Chubb the opportunity to earn another $2.5 million if he hits certain incentives.
A 2018 second-round pick of the Browns, Chubb has played his entire career in Cleveland and was named to four consecutive Pro Bowls from 2019 to 2022. His career average of 5.1 yards per carry is among the best in NFL history.
But in 2023 he suffered a severe knee injury in the second game of the season, he wasn't cleared to return until midway through the 2024 season, and wasn't the same player once he got back on the field. That's why it took him so long to sign, and why he had to sign a one-year prove-it deal.
In Houston, Chubb joins a backfield that also includes starter Joe Mixon along with Dameon...
Maye not afraid of pressure to improve: ‘You want high expectations' originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots have finished 4-13 at the bottom of the AFC East division each of the last two seasons, and they are determined to finally get back on the winning path in 2025.
One of the reasons for optimism centers around Drake Maye.
The No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft had a good rookie campaign and reinforced the belief among many that he can be a franchise quarterback for a long time.
No player in New England will be under more pressure to improve than Maye, and he’s not backing down from the situation.

Defensive end Micah Parsons has skipped most of the Cowboys' offseason program, and cornerback Trevon Diggs hasn't attended any of the voluntary work while rehabbing elsewhere.
The team's star defensive players, though, were at The Star on Monday to undergo a physical, via multiple reports, and both are expected to be in attendance for the beginning of the mandatory minicamp Tuesday.
Diggs, who could miss most if not all of the 2025 season with a knee injury, is not cleared for any on-field work, and Parsons is expected to skip team drills without a contract extension.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously has expressed displeasure with Diggs' decision to rehab in Miami, something he also did in 2023 after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Diggs’ contract stipulates that he must take part in 84.375 percent of the offseason program in order ...
The Packers tried to find a middle ground with Jaire Alexander on his contract, and they reportedly had pre-draft trade talks with the Bills, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.
Alexander had no interest in a pay cut, and on Monday, the day before the team's mandatory minicamp begins, the Packers bid Alexander farewell.
The Packers made Alexander's release official, though it likely won't be processed on the NFL's transaction wire until Tuesday.
"In his seven seasons with the Packers, Jaire established himself as one of the premier players in the NFL at one of the game's most challenging positions," General Manager Brian Gutekunst said in a statement. "His contributions to our organization were felt on the field, in the locker room and in our community, and he will be missed. We appreciate all he gave and we wish him all the best moving forward."
Alexander was scheduled to make a base salary of $16.15 million...
On Sunday night, Dallas Cowboys EDGE Micah Parsons called head coach Brian Schottenheimer as part of TikTok's "good night" trend.
The New England Patriots have made some major additions this offseason, but a returning player could be among the most important to a potential 2025 turnaround.
Jaire Alexander‘s time in Green Bay is coming to an end.
Rodgers has officially signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it looks like the veteran quarterback is wasting no time trying to establish a bond with his new teammates.
Marvin Harrison Jr. appears to have undergone a major change this offseason, and it is one that Arizona Cardinals fans should be excited about.
With just nine wins over the past two seasons, it’s easy to be pessimistic about the 2025 New York Giants. Here’s a few more reasons to pile on.
The Tennessee Titans have yet to name a starting quarterback, but give rookie Cam Ward the early edge in his competition with Will Levis.
Nick Chubb is looking to bounce back from another injury in 2025, and the Houston Texans have offered the veteran running back a chance to earn a significant amount of money if he can do that.
Rudolph will now be tasked with serving as Rodgers' primary backup and as a mentor for 2025 sixth-round draft choice Will Howard.
Former Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb is closing in on a deal that will give him an opportunity to reboot his career with one of the AFC's top contenders.
