There's mistakes that I made that I won't replicate going into this season. The tags are an option. Ideally, we'd find a way to get a deal done and keep Breece around. We've been going through that process and are still doing so. We have a week to find out if we can't get to an agreement which way we'll go with that tag.

I had a great talk with Jody the other night and she's like, 'Let's go for it, let's rip it.' It's just business as usual for us. Business as usual and all football. No, I had a great talk with Jody the other night and she's like, 'Let's go for it, let's rip it.' It's just business as usual for us.

This ranking is based on each player's value to a new team, tying in what he brings on the field and his current contract situation. It is not a ranking of the players most likely to be dealt (though we did include a rough estimated percentage chance for each of the 15 players to change teams).

The Cowboys are primarily there to evaluate and interview players for the 2026 draft, where they hold two first-round picks, but there will be much more going on than that. The Cowboys will meet with agents for their upcoming free agents, including Pro Bowl wide receiver George Pickens. The new defensive staff, led by coordinator Christian Parker, will meet with prospects and also put together its playbook.

Another NFL season, another massive quarterback question looms for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement in 2022, the lack of stability at the position has become a frustrating tradition for the organization that hasn't won a playoff game in a decade. This time around, there's an extra layer of déjà vu as the Steelers once again await a decision from Aaron Rodgers about his future.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan was enduring one of the lowest and loneliest points of his life -- recovering from three broken vertebrae in his neck that he suffered during a preseason game after a promising rookie season -- when Mike Evans, the Bucs' all-time leading scorer, gave him a much-needed boost. "I think he helped me understand my worth as a receiver, and he was able to teach me that it's OK to make mistakes," McMillan said.

Putting aside the Crosby trade rumors for now, here's a list of expected free agent edge rushers: Trey Hendrickson, Odafe Oweh, Jaelan Phillips, Khalil Mack, K'Lavon Chaisson, Boye Mafe, Joey Bosa and Jadeveon Clowney. The main thing that impresses me is the variety. Oweh, Chaisson and Mafe are speed artists who can create pressure fast. Guys like Mack, Clowney and Kingsley Enagbare (Packers) are all hitters in the running game.

"He just did a phenomenal job," Macdonald said Thursday while sitting next to Fleury inside the team's headquarters. "I think his vision and what he believes in offensively ... was aligned with how we want it to. The principles and philosophy on how he goes about his business and how he coaches and what he wants from our offense, he took it straight out of our culture graphic."

The new head coach of Eureka (Ill.) College finished the football team's laundry earlier in the day. He vacuumed the coaches' offices. The financial-aid office is closed for the weekend, so he didn't constantly deal with players' paperwork, like on most days. So, he sat at a school wrestling match, representing his Division III football program, as he talked. "I don't know anything about wrestling," Dion Jordan said. "I'm still adapting to it all - the small town, the Midwest, the cold."
