Falcons | Za'Darius Smith signs with Atlanta Tue Aug 18, 02:46 PM
Free agent DE Za'Darius Smith (Eagles) is signing a one-year, $6 million deal that can be worth up to $8 million on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Smith, a 33-year-old edge rusher who played last season with the Philadelphia Eagles, played under Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski while with the Cleveland Browns in 2023 and 2024. The veteran fills a need after Atlanta lost its two best pass rushers -- Jalon Walker (injury) and James Pearce Jr. (suspension) -- for an extended period of time over the past two weeks. |

Cowboys | Von Miller signs with DAL Mon Aug 17, 01:18 PM
Free-agent LB Von Miller (Commanders) signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, Aug. 17, worth $5.5 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal can be worth as much as $7.5 million with incentives.
| Footballguys view: As previously noted, Miller will join a pass-rush rotation that features Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams, James Houston, and Marist Liufau. Even if he's no longer able to handle an every-down role, the Cowboys believe Miller can be a difference-maker in spot duty. |

Cowboys | Von Miller signing with Dallas Mon Aug 17, 12:45 AM
Free-agent LB Von Miller (Commanders) is expected to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Miller enters his 15th season with more sacks (138.5) than any other active player. He recorded nine sacks last season for the Commanders -- his highest total since 2021, when he finished with 9.5 while splitting time with the Broncos and Rams. In Dallas, Miller will be asked to be part of a pass-rush rotation that features Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams, James Houston, and Marist Liufau. Miller might not be the every-down player he was with the Broncos, but the Cowboys believe he can be a difference-maker for new coordinator Christian Parker. |

Packers | Micah Parsons 'back to running' Tue Aug 4, 04:16 PM
Green Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons (knee) is reportedly back to running and is hoping to start making cuts on his knee in the next six weeks, according to Parsons on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
| Footballguys view: It remains unclear when Parsons will be back on the field. The Packers know his long-term value to the team is greater than what a few early-season games are worth, so everyone should be on board with Parsons getting as much time as needed to feel like he can be the defensive force that the Packers need him to be this season. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Patriots | Four NE players limited in practice Saturday Sat Aug 1, 11:13 AM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, CBs Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker were limited in practice and did not participate in team drills Saturday, Aug. 1, in order for them to stay healthy, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like the team is going use load management this summer for some of their starters who aren't exactly old timers, but do have some mileage on their bodies as entrenched starters. This is a good sign that Stevenson is in no danger of losing his starting job to TreVeyon Henderson. |

Green Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons is expected to miss 'the first month and a half of the season,' according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
| Footballguys view: Schneidman believes Parsons ' return in Week 6 is the best-case scenario. Nine months of no football gives him a practice return of Week 4 prep and a couple of weeks to ramp up. "Never doubt a guy with his physical gifts," Schneidman said, "but we also don't know how the rest of his rehab will go." Stay tuned. |

Patriots | Harold Landry may not ready for season Sun Jul 26, 04:37 PM
New England Patriots LB Harold Landry's (knee) availability for the start of the regular season is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots did sign free agent EDGE Dre'Mont Jones, who had seven sacks in 18 games with the Titans and Ravens last year, but they also lost K'Lavon Chaisson, who had a breakout season in New England, to Washington in free agency. If Landry isn't ready to go early in the season, the Seahawks, Steelers, Jaguars and Bills are the first four opponents and most likely beneficiaries of an upgraded passing matchup. |

Bears | Multiple players not cleared for practice Sun Jul 26, 04:37 PM

The team also placed LB T.J. Edwards (undisclosed) on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
| Footballguys view: The most important name here is Trapilo, who emerged as the team's starting left tackle as a rookie second round pick last year. The team still has Braxton Jones, who he supplanted, and they signed former Browns first round pick Jedrick Wills as a reclamation project for depth. Trapilo tore a patellar tendon, so he's projected to miss most of the season, and there's no guarantee that he'll play at all. |
