Chiefs' Veach expects a wild, trade-filled first round in 2026 draft
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach says the 2026 first round could be the most unpredictable in years, with closely graded tackles, edge rushers, and receivers that may shift up or down the board and trigger a flurry of trades. With Kansas City picking inside the top 10 for the first time since Mahomes, Veach emphasizes flexibility and multiple paths at No. 9, while aiming to improve a roster that saw notable turnover. He notes the draft could hinge on scheme fit and coach evaluation, and that the team will look to add talent across the offense and defensive line while maintaining a championship mindset.
Freeman labels Jeremiyah Love a 'unicorn' with WR/DB upside
Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is described by Marcus Freeman as a 'unicorn' with elite athleticism who could excel as a wide receiver or defensive back; his combination of power, speed, and WR-like route-running makes him a standout prospect, though teams selecting in the top five will weigh the value of a premier RB in the draft ahead of next week.
Nantz Goes Rogue, Kelce Turns ‘Fight’ Into Chiefs Legend

Dolphins GM bets on Greg Dulcich as 2026 breakout
New Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan names Greg Dulcich as a 2026 breakout candidate, citing his strong late-season surge and potential to thrive under Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Dulcich, who played 10 games in 2025 with 26 receptions for 335 yards and 1 TD, has dealt with injuries but has 59 receptions for 746 yards in 20 career games. He signed a one-year, $3.25 million deal with Miami in March, and Sullivan’s backing signals Dulcich as a key holdover in the Dolphins’ rebuild.

Brown and DeVonta Smith ahead of the draft, continuing a recent pattern of pre-season receiver acquisitions.

Licht: No Betrayal Felt as Evans Signs with the 49ers
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht says he doesn’t feel betrayed by Mike Evans’s decision to sign with the 49ers, noting Evans earned the right to seek a new challenge and loved the team. Evans reportedly chose a fresh start and a more challenging offense, even accepting less money, with Licht saying Tampa made a higher offer but Evans prioritized opportunity elsewhere.
Woodson: Steelers should move on from Rodgers saga and plan for the future
Steelers legend Rod Woodson says Pittsburgh should stop waiting on Aaron Rodgers to decide his playing future and move forward with its current quarterback group (Will Howard and Mason Rudolph) as Rodgers’ status remains unsettled. GM Omar Khan hasn’t ruled out a Rodgers return but offered no deadline. Woodson also criticizes the team’s 2025 draft approach, saying Pittsburgh should have taken QB Jaxson Dart instead of Derrick Harmon to address the future at QB.

Kyler Murray signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, reuniting with coach Kevin O'Connell and eyeing a potential long-term leadership role in 2026.
