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. |

Cowboys | Charles Snowden suspended three games Tue Jul 14, 04:49 PM
Dallas Cowboys DE Charles Snowden has been suspended for the first three games of the 2026 NFL season, but is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games. His suspension will take effect as of the roster reduction to 53 players, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday, July 14.
| Footballguys view: Last season, Snowden posted a career high in sacks with three for the Raiders in 15 games played. Snowden played in 15 games for Las Vegas, adding 28 tackles, five tackles for loss, and his first career interception. Heading into his fifth season in the NFL, Snowden is tied with James Houston and Sam Williams as the second-most experienced pass rusher on the Cowboys' roster. The Cowboys will manage without him during the suspension. |

NFL | Joey Bosa done playing? Wed Jun 24, 04:06 PM
Free-agent DE Joey Bosa (Bills) may have played his last game in the NFL but things can change, in the opinion of ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa cast doubt on his older brother Joey playing in the NFL in 2026 in May. Schefter provided more reason to think that the elder Bosa will not be signing with any team before Week 1. During his podcast, Schefter was asked about the prospect of the two brothers playing together and said, "It is more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down." Bosa had 72 sacks in nine seasons with the Chargers and had five sacks with the Bills during the 2025 season. |

He sees a jump in production possible in 2026 in his second season with defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile. 'I think the sky's the limit for myself this year,' Hines-Allen said.

Steelers | Pittsburgh signs two after tryouts Thu Jun 4, 01:21 PM
Free agent TE Robert Tonyan (Chiefs) and LB Jamin Davis (Raiders) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, June 4. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: It seems incredulous to remember that Tonyan had an 11 touchdown season with the Packers back in 2020. After one target over the last two seasons (with two different teams), it's safe to say Tonyan's best days are behind him. |

Packers | Micah Parsons still months away Wed Jun 3, 02:03 PM
Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) said he still has four more months of rehab before he can consider returning to the field. He said he underwent a procedure on his meniscus in addition to his anterior cruciate ligament repair.
| Footballguys view: Because of that second procedure, Parsons said a nine-month recovery before he's able to play is locked in place. His initial ACL repair was performed on Dec. 29, with nine months after that being Sept. 29. That could put the Week 4 game against the Buccaneers in play. But the Week 5 against the Bears or the Week 6 against the Cowboys could be more realistic, if not the Week 7 divisional contest against the Lions. With this timeline, Parsons will likely start training camp and the regular season on the physically unable to perform list. |
