Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold joined Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win 14 or more games in back-to-back seasons, and Darnold is the only quarterback to win 14-plus games in his first season after changing teams, accomplishing the feat for the second year in a row in 2025.

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza fits Raiders Wed Feb 11, 11:38 AM
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is an ideal fit for the Las Vegas Raiders and new head coach Klint Kubiak's system, in the opinion of ESPN's Field Yates. According to Yates, Mendoza displayed elite accuracy and arm talent to throw to all levels of the field. He improved his pocket awareness and excelled in clutch moments. Mendoza brings a strong frame and in-pocket mobility with enough creativity to handle duress, and his quick-processing skills point to a successful starting quarterback.

Patriots | Drake Maye won't need surgery Tue Feb 10, 01:12 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) will not need offseason surgery to fix his injury. Maye told reporters, 'Time is the best healer,' on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Link to story Patriots | Drake Maye was managing shoulder issue Tue Feb 10, 10:38 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) deemed the hit in the AFC Championship Game as significant in terms of how it affected his shoulder, and he was managing the injury in the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.

Patriots | Drake Maye received pre-game injection in his shoulder Mon Feb 9, 01:28 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) indicated that he received a pain-killing injection in his right shoulder prior to the team's Super Bowl LX loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Maye missed one practice and was limited in another leading up to the game, but he did not carry a designation on the final injury report.
| Footballguys view: Whether it was the injury or just the intense pressure from Seattle's pass rush, Maye struggled. After hurting the shoulder in the AFC Championship game, Maye was limited in one practice and then held out of another during the off week. But he said he felt he turned a corner upon arriving in California on Feb. 1 and practiced fully in the Patriots' three workouts leading up to the game. Maye said Thursday that he was feeling great, although he had still been listed on the injury report all last week, per NFL rules. He did not have a designation. |
49ers | Brock Purdy delivered on key downs Mon Feb 9, 12:22 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy converted an NFL-record 58% of his passes on third and fourth down into first downs in 2025.
| Footballguys view: Purdy played well when healthy, completing 230 of 342 attempts for 2,569 yards, 22 touchdowns, and three INTs. He also ran the ball 47 times for 208 yards and three scores. Despite injuries to him and his supporting cast, Purdy's 19.9 points per game over nine games ranked sixth among all QBs. Purdy will likely be available as a tail-end QB1 in drafts this summer. |
Cardinals | Kyler Murray not expected back Mon Feb 9, 12:21 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will likely be traded or released this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rappoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Murray made just five starts in 2025, throwing for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions before suffering a foot injury in Week 5. He went on injured reserve, and by December, the Cardinals decided he would not come off of it. Murray is guaranteed $36.8 million regardless of what happens, but if he's on the team's roster past the first week of the new league year, which begins March 11, he is guaranteed an additional $20 million. Thus, the Cardinals and new head coach Mike LaFleur have a pretty obvious deadline to make a final decision. |

49ers | Mac Jones expected to have trade interest Mon Feb 9, 12:20 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is expected to receive trade interest from multiple teams this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: Nonetheless, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the 49ers have no plans to trade Jones this offseason and fully intend to bring him back as Brock Purdy's backup. Jones is under contract for another year at a salary cap number of $3.07 million. Jones got ample opportunity to show off his skills in 2025. He threw for 13 touchdowns and six interceptions while averaging 268.9 passing yards in eight starts in place of an injured Purdy. The Niners went 5-3 and stayed in the playoff mix with Jones under center. That's the kind of insurance policy teams covet. |

Falcons | Kirk Cousins return possible? Mon Feb 9, 12:19 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins has a chance to remain with the Falcons next season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter, however, reports that Cousins is expected to be released before the start of the new league year in March. The Falcons recently restructured Cousins' contract with the idea that it would be easier for both sides if the four-time Pro Bowler was released sooner rather than later, giving Cousins the optionality that he wanted and adding financial flexibility for Atlanta. Releasing Cousins would further open up the quarterback position in 2026 for the Falcons, whose new regime has not yet committed to Michael Penix Jr. as the starter. Stay tuned. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett could become available Mon Feb 9, 12:14 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett may be placed on the trade block if the team decides to keep QB Kyler Murray, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: While there's considerable reporting that suggests Kyler Murray will be moving on, Fowler believes the door to Murray staying in Arizona is still possible. New coach Mike LaFleur is familiar with Murray's game. Nothing is decided as LaFleur sorts through staffing issues. Keeping Murray could prove the path of least resistance. If he stays, Brissett would become a workable trade candidate. He's due a reasonable $4.88 million in base salary. Fowler notes that Brissett has friends in the league -- such as Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski and Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich -- who could have interest in getting him. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold cashes in on Super Bowl win Mon Feb 9, 12:12 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold earned a $1 million incentive by winning Super Bowl LX.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com reminded readers, all year, we heard that Darnold couldn't win the big game. Now that he's won the biggest game there is, Darnold's critics will have to come up with a new excuse not to embrace him as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks -- one who's just entering his prime. In fact, sources told CBS Sports insider Jonathan Jones that if they won the Super Bowl, Seattle would consider giving Darnold a contract extension this coming offseason. If so, the million he earned Sunday won't even be the tip of the iceberg. |

Seahawks | Seattle rides defense to Super Bowl win Mon Feb 9, 12:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 19 of his 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown and added five rushing yards in a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. RB Kenneth Walker III gained 135 yards on 27 carries and caught two passes for 26 yards, and RB George Holani chipped in six rushing yards on two carries and caught a seven-yard pass. WR Cooper Kupp finished with a team-high six receptions on 12 targets for 61 receiving yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in four of his 10 targets for 27 yards. TE AJ Barner caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, and WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on a pair of receptions. LB Ernest Jones led the defense with 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, and LB Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown. S Julian Love also had an interception, and DT Byron Murphy II and DE Derick Hall both had two of Seattle's six sacks, and Murphy also recovered a fumble.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote, "Led by defense and special teams, armed with a quarterback nobody believed in and run by a 38-year-old, second-year coach whose personality remains opaque to almost everyone outside of his building, the Seattle Seahawks kept their heads down and kept winning." And that coach, Mike Macdonald, is now the third-youngest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl -- and he did it in just his second season with the Seahawks. With Darnold heading into his second season in Seattle and MacDonald at the helm, the Seahawks' future is bright. |

Patriots | New England's offense stifled in Super Bowl loss Mon Feb 9, 12:01 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 27 of his 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Maye was also sacked six times and lost a fumble while gaining 35 rushing yards on five carries. RB Rhamondre Stevenson managed 23 rushing yards on seven carries and caught five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. RB TreVeyon Henderson was held to 19 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 26 yards. WR Mack Hollins was a bright spot for the offense, catching four passes for a team-high 78 yards and a touchdown. WR DeMario Douglas added five catches for 45 yards, and WR Stefon Diggs finished with three catches for 37 yards. TE Hunter Henry caught three passes for 31 yards, and WR Kayshon Boutte caught one pass for 31 yards. S Craig Woodson finished with a team-high 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, and CB Marcus Jones joined him with seven solo stops. DT Milton Williams recorded three tackles, including two tackles for loss, and a sack.
| Footballguys view: While the defense kept the Patriots within reach most of the game, Maye struggled under pressure, and the offense sputtered when it mattered most. New England punted on all five of its non-kneel first-half possessions, generating just four total first downs. With the game still within reach, the offense fell flat, going three-and-out on its first three possessions of the third quarter -- its one first down on four drives in the quarter came via penalty. Maye made a few plays in the final frame, but it was too little, too late from the MVP runner-up. |

Link to story Cardinals | Malik Willis an option in Arizona? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent QB Malik Willis could be pursued by the Arizona Cardinals in free agency if the Cardinals part ways with QB Kyler Murray, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins should be considered the favorite to get Willis because new head coach Jeff Hafley is familiar with him from their time together in Green Bay along with the Dolphins likely need for a new starter after they seemed to move on from Tua Tagovailoa when he was benched late last season. As we saw in 2025, Willis could be a top 6-8 fantasy quarterback with a QB1 ceiling in any given week if he is a starter, so he's probably undervalued in early best ball drafts and dynasty leagues right now. |
Colts | Daniel Jones the top priority? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones is the team's top priority in free agency, followed by WR Alec Pierce, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Jones returning to the Colts is almost a foregone conclusion. Any other team that wants to make a run for him will have to give him a starting quarterback salary and only the Colts are sure they can get production and leadership that is worth that. Colts fantasy options will probably get a small bump in value when this deal gets done, and another if Jones ends up on track to start Week 1. |

Cardinals | Kyler Murray staying put? Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's future with the team hasn't been decided, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, and Fowler believes it is still possible that Murray remains with the team next season.
| Footballguys view: What this probably means is that the Cardinals are realizing no one is going to trade for Murray with a $22 million+ price tag for 2026 that includes a $17 million roster bonus and $19+ million that guarantees for 2027 on the fifth day of the league season in May. They could release Murray, but will be on the hook for his 2026 salary, so Mike LaFleur might just decide to let Murray and Jacoby Brissett wage a quarterback competition in camp. We know who fantasy players will be rooting for. |

Falcons | Kirk Cousins expected to be released Sun Feb 8, 02:19 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is expected to be released before the start of the new league year in March. That gives him a choice where or if he wants to play in the 2026 season, league sources said Saturday, Feb. 7.
| Footballguys view: Minnesota should be considered a possibility with their need for a veteran quarterback to compete with (or replace?) JJ McCarthy, and the word is that Cousins is open to returning there. The Vikings may go after a big fish like Joe Burrow, but if they aren't successful, Cousins is a viable Plan B, and he would be able to restore a lot of the fantasy value Justin Jefferson lost last season. |

Ravens | BAL, Lamar Jackson to talk extension Sun Feb 8, 01:15 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to have contract extension talks with the Ravens this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: This will be a situation to watch closely, as it took a long time for general manager Eric DeCosta to find common ground with Jackson (who does not retain an agent) during his last contract negotiation. Jackson is going to be a free agent in 2027 and an extension would make his cap hits more manageable over the next two years, but the team let his quarterback coach Tee Martin go, and it appears they also believe he was to blame for some of the team's underachievement even though John Harbaugh took the fall for the recent pattern of perennial disappointment. |

Colts | Indy expected to offer Daniel Jones extension Sun Feb 8, 12:58 PM

Giants | Russell Wilson wants to keep playing Sun Feb 8, 12:46 PM

Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa not expected to return Sun Feb 8, 12:28 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is increasingly likely to be playing with a different team next season, although the organization has not made a final decision, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Dolphins would likely have to eat most of the $54 million in guaranteed money that Tagovailoa is slated to earn in 2026 if he is traded and a $45.2 million dead cap charge would be applied to the salary cap. However, releasing him would allow Miami to spread the dead cap charge over two years and they would then have to pay Tagovailoa $3 million in fully guaranteed money in 2027.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know where Tagovailoa would fit, and it seems unlikely that he would be brought in anywhere as a starter, except maybe Cleveland or the Jets, which isn't exciting for them or him. He would be better off as a backup under a rising offensive star head coach like Ben Johnson or Liam Coen to reboot and update his software for his next opportunity like Daniel Jones did during his short stint with Minnesota. |

Bengals | CIN unlikely to entertain Joe Burrow trade offers Sun Feb 8, 12:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is not expected to have trade offers involving him entertained by the Bengals but the team is willing to spend to build around him this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: It never hurts for teams like Minnesota to ask, but with the Bengals committed to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, it makes no sense for them to deal Burrow. |

Steelers | Chances of Aaron Rodgers returning increasing Sun Feb 8, 11:31 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers appears increasingly likely to return to the club for the 2026 season, even though he has not officially announced that he will continue his playing career, in the opinion of NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. In recent weeks, Rodgers has spoken with WR DK Metcalf and new head coach Mike McCarthy multiple times. The Steelers are hopeful that Rodgers will make a final decision regarding his status for 2026 prior to the start of free agency in mid-March.
| Footballguys view: When McCarthy was hired this was expected even though all of the reports said that wasn't why the Steelers hired McCarthy. Offensive line coach James Campen is also close to Rodgers, so it just makes sense that he would want to return. Rodgers could be more production in 2026 playing with an offensive coaching staff that knows his game and works well with him. |

NFL | Several clubs have shown interest in Derek Carr Sun Feb 8, 09:39 AM
Retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) has had several NFL teams do due diligence on him, in order to determine if he would be interested in making a comeback. According to multiple sources, the 34-year-old would consider a return to the league in an ideal situation with the right coaching staff. The New Orleans Saints currently retain Carr's contractual rights but would be likely to part with him, given the emergence of QB Tyler Shough.
| Footballguys view: Carr would make sense as a mentor for Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas under Klint Kubiak, who was the architect of the last peak of Carr's career in New Orleans at the beginning of the 2024 season. Pittsburgh also could be interested in Carr as a competent starting option if Aaron Rodgers doesn't return and they prefer Carr to Joe Flacco. |

Bengals | Joe Flacco could return Sat Feb 7, 02:53 PM
Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco is a player that the Bengals are interested in re-signing this offseason, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Joe Burrow is an incredible quarterback, but the Bengals need to be ready for him to miss time (again). That means a guy like Flacco could be an easy call as someone to keep around. Flacco can still play good football as a reserve option for teams in a playoff hunt (like the Bengals). We'll see what he decides to do when free agency opens up on March 11th. |

Bills | Josh Allen a touchdown machine Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen's 301 total touchdowns through his first eight seasons are the most in NFL history, and he has more touchdowns than six teams during that span.
| Footballguys view: Allen has all the success in the world during the regular season, but he's had multiple failures in the playoffs - not even yet earning a trip to the Super Bowl. That's one of the reasons why the Bills moved on from Sean McDermott. We'll see Joe Brady as head coach, and he'll have Allen scoring in bunches during the regular season. The real test will be whether or not Allen and the Bills will have more postseason success under their new head coach. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota still hoping to start Sat Feb 7, 02:18 PM
Washington Commanders impending free-agent QB Marcus Mariota said he enjoys Washington but is open to signing with another team if it means competing for the starting job. 'If something presents itself, great,' Mariota said. 'I will take time to iron it out, but I do love it here.'
| Footballguys view: Mariota is unlikely to get a chance to compete for a starting job in 2026. However, he's clearly a trusted veteran backup quarterback that any team in a Super Bowl window may consider as an option. He may be looking to start, but Mariota may just end up choosing the best landing spot where he could get a championship. |

49ers | SF looking to keep Mac Jones Sat Feb 7, 12:52 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is a player that the 49ers would prefer not to trade this offseason, according to sources.

They're going to say they have no intention of trading him to inflate his already somewhat high price of acquisition. Stay tuned. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy will have competition Sat Feb 7, 12:15 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy will have competition next season since the team is expected to add a veteran quarterback to the roster this offseason.
| Footballguys view: With Sam Darnold playing in the Super Bowl, it's clear the Vikings regret not trying to keep him around for 2025 - regardless of selecting McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season, and he looked bad when he played in 2025. The Vikings may push for guys like Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins (if/when released by the Falcons), or Mac Jones (via trade) this offseason. |
Titans | Cam Ward showed improvement in second half Fri Feb 6, 07:34 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward threw 10 touchdowns and only one interception during the second half of the 2025 regular season. He threw five touchdowns and six interceptions during the first half of the season.
| Footballguys view: Ward showed all the signs you need to see from a no.1 overall pick. Now, the Titans have plenty of work to do around him, but he flashed talent as a rookie. With better talent on offense in the passing game, Ward could start to flourish even more as a passer in 2026. |

Maye's shoulder is not a concern entering the game, but the team needs to protect him from big hits as the ferocious Seattle defense swarms around him. |
Falcons | Kirk Cousins wants to keep playing Fri Feb 6, 04:27 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins said he is feeling good after playing this season and is looking to play next season.

He's not the same player he used to be, but with bad quarterback play around the league a team could do worse than Cousins. The Falcons may release Cousins after re-working his deal, but there's a chance they'd work hard to bring him back at a better price. |

NFL | Fernando Mendoza may not throw at Scouting Combine Fri Feb 6, 02:41 PM
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is not making throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine a 'priority.' He tells Pat McAfee he intends to throw for NFL scouts at his Pro Day.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza is seen as the no.1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, he's not as 'toolsy' as other quarterbacks taken in that spot, but Mendoza is seen as the best of the bunch this year. Expect the Raiders to zero in on making Mendoza their pick and handing him the reins to an offense that features RB Ashton Jeanty and TE Brock Bowers. |
