Defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. said no team has mentioned arm length to him during his interviews, focusing on his play instead. Ohio State star Arvell Reese declared himself an "outside linebacker/edge" rusher during media interviews at the combine Wednesday.
Offseason Trade Market
Brian Thomas Jr. and Maxx Crosby stack up as top prospects on the NFL offseason trade market. Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin said a trade involving defensive end Trey Hendrickson could prove challenging.
Quarterback Movement
Will Kirk Cousins go back to Minnesota? Could Kyler Murray join the AFC? Let's predict who will start for every NFL team in the 2026 season. The Vikings are "exploring all possibilities" to improve their quarterback play in 2026, executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski said Tuesday.
Front Office Updates
The coach and interim GM gave their thoughts at the NFL combine about replacing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said he remains hopeful that the team can get deals done with receiver Alec Pierce and quarterback Daniel Jones before free agency begins.
Contract Negotiations
Shortly after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that left tackle Trent Williams and the 49ers are "struggling to find a contractual solution," general manager John Lynch offered a more optimistic outlook. The Cowboys have extended an offer to Brandon Aubrey that would make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, sources told ESPN, but Aubrey's agent has asked for a deal closer to $10 million per season.
Coaching Changes
Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that offensive coordinator Davis Webb will be Denver's playcaller this season. Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker indicated in a social media post Tuesday that he's putting off retirement to return for his 11th NFL season.
Free Agency Outlook
Despite their desire for Mike Evans to remain with the Buccaneers, GM Jason Licht and coach Todd Bowles believe the veteran wideout has "earned" the right to explore free agency. Bills GM Brandon Beane said the team is challenging embattled WR Keon Coleman to come in with the same attitude he had to start training camp last season.
Veteran Status Updates
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst hit on several topics, including special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia's surprising exit. Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said he has spoken with quarterback Kyler Murray, but a source told ESPN that the two have not talked since the end of the season.
