NFL | Aaron Donald testing his limits Fri Jul 17, 01:07 PM
Retired DL Aaron Donald is putting himself through football workouts to gauge his level of readiness for the 2026 season if he decides to return, according to Bleacher Report's James Palmer.
| Footballguys view: The possibility of the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year playing again emerged after the Rams' blockbuster trade for Browns superstar Myles Garrett. If Donald does decide to play again, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport contends we shouldn't expect the 35-year-old to handle an every-down role: "If he does show up, it would probably even be toward the end of training camp and could even be into the season because he's not going to be playing 50 or 60 plays on defense." Even in a limited capacity, Donald being in the mix would be a nightmare for opposing offenses. |

Ravens | Rehab going well for Nnamdi Madubuike Thu Jul 16, 03:52 PM
Baltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) is still making progress in his recovery, and the team will have more information about his injury in the next two weeks, according to general manager Eric DeCosta.
| Footballguys view: A two-time Pro Bowler, Madubuike's absence had a ripple effect on Baltimore's defense last season. Only two teams had fewer sacks than the Ravens' 30. Madubuike's 13 sacks in 2023 were the most among all defensive tackles. As the team's official website suggested, his return would give Baltimore a fearsome defensive trio with Travis Jones returning and Calais Campbell coming back to Baltimore. |

Broncos | Zach Allen intends to break team sack record Sun Jul 12, 03:45 PM
Denver Broncos DL Zach Allen said Sunday, July 12, he expects the team to break the all-time team sack record after falling short in 2025. The team had 68 sacks in 2025, four behind the Chicago Bears (1984) NFL record of 72. The Bears also accomplished the feat in 16 games. 'We've got a lot of good guys and that's going to create a lot of opportunities for people. We came close to the sack record last year and we fully expect to break it this year,' Allen said.

Uwazurike is battling DTs Sai'vion Jones and Tyler Onyedim for more playing time heading into training camp and the preseason, and somebody will emerge as the starter.

Rams | LA not in a hurry for Puka Nacua extension Wed Jul 1, 01:00 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, but after trading for CB Trent McDuffie and DE Myles Garrett, the team doesn't seem to be in a hurry for any contract extensions, in the opinion of ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Tuesday, June 30.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have a strong group of extension-eligible candidates from their 2023 draft class, and Nacua is at the top of that list. It remains to be seen whether the Rams get ahead of those contract extensions or focus instead on the 2026 season. The latter appears to be the way they are leaning. A deal could certainly get done -- one that makes Nacua the top-paid player at his position -- but Nacua's situation is further complicated by recent off-field issues. Of course, none of this changes Nacua's status as a consensus top-five fantasy pick. |

Carter is heading into his second season with the Giants, who drafted him with the third overall pick last year.

He had 30 tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in his first season with the team. Sweat will get a chance to add to those totals in a Cardinals uniform this fall. |

Rams | Aaron Donald considering return to NFL Wed Jun 3, 12:15 AM
Former Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald told The Schultz Report on Tuesday, June 2 that he is considering a return to the NFL. 'I'm for sure flirting with the idea,' Donald texted Jordan Schultz. 'Helluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it's a possibility.' Donald, 35, has not played since 2023 but started considering a return when the Rams traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Donald, 35, has not played since 2023. Rams coach Sean McVay was asked Tuesday about the possibility of Donald coming back. "Listen, if he's interested," McVay said during Garrett's introductory news conference. "Here's what I'll say: You talk to Aaron, and you see what he's saying about that," McVay admitted he has talked to Donald since acquiring Garrett. The biggest problem for the Rams would be fitting Donald under their salary cap. But you can bet they would figure out a way to get the three-time Defensive Player of the Year on the roster if he wants to return. |

Seahawks | Derick Hall agrees to extension with Seattle Tue Jun 2, 01:12 PM
Seattle Seahawks DE Derick Hall agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension that could be worth up to $46.5 million and includes $21 million guaranteed on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks lost Boye Mafe in free agency to Cincinnati on a three-year, $60 million deal. Hall is more than two years younger than Mafe, but was slowed by oblique and ankle injuries last year. After Hall notched eight sacks (only one fewer than Mafe's career high) as a 23-year-old in 2024, expectations were high, and it's clear the Seahawks believe in Hall. This is another prudent move for GM John Schneider. |
