A small but interesting roster update out of Cleveland has caught attention, as Quinshon Judkins has decided to hand over the No. 1 jersey to fellow rookie KC Concepcion. 👀

Judkins originally wore No. 10 during his rookie campaign but had planned to switch back to his familiar college number, No. 1, ahead of the 2026 season. However, that change will no longer happen after the Browns confirmed that Concepcion will now take ownership of the single-digit jersey.

It remains unclear whether any formal exchange or payment was involved in the number switch, or if it was simply a teammate gesture from Judkins. Either way, it’s another early glimpse of camaraderie forming within the locker room, even if it’s starting with something as simple as jersey numbers. 😂

Former Cory Trice is currently still on the free agent market after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, a move that came in the wake of a failed physical.

The former seventh-round selection from Purdue showed moments of promise during his stint in Pittsburgh, displaying flashes of the talent that made him an intriguing late-round pick. However, recurring injury setbacks prevented him from establishing a consistent role with the team.

Now at 25 years old, his future in the league will largely depend on whether he can finally overcome those durability concerns. If he manages to stay healthy, Trice still has the potential to provide reliable depth in a cornerback rotation for a team heading into the 2026 NFL season.

Jacoby Brissett is reportedly still away from the Arizona Cardinals as contract negotiations continue, and according to Ian Rapoport, the veteran quarterback was not present on the opening day of voluntary OTAs. 👀

With Brissett currently sidelined from offseason activities, rookie quarterback Carson Beck may get a valuable chance to earn extra practice reps and potentially work more closely with the first-team offense earlier than initially expected.

While Brissett is still widely viewed as Arizona’s likely starter and there is no clear resolution yet, a prolonged absence could open the door for Beck to gain momentum heading into training camp.

That added time on the field with the starters could prove to be an important developmental boost for the rookie as the offseason continues.

Jeremiyah Love was seen taking reps as a kickoff returner during the Arizona Cardinals’ OTA sessions, showing that the rookie is already being utilized in multiple areas early in the offseason.

Love, who recently signed a fully guaranteed $53.9 million contract, appears to be getting heavily involved in Arizona’s plans as the team continues preparing for the upcoming season.

The rookie running back is already receiving opportunities on special teams in addition to his expected offensive role, a sign that the Cardinals are looking to maximize his versatility from the start.

Alex Bullock has officially stepped away from football after recently joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free-agent rookie out of South Dakota State.

The 23-year-old wide receiver had taken part in the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp and was preparing to battle for a place on the roster during the upcoming offseason program before deciding to retire from the NFL.

Bullock entered the league following an impressive 2025 season at South Dakota State, where he totaled 70 catches for 941 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns while playing for the Jackrabbits.

His retirement also marks the third time in the last week that an undrafted NFL rookie has chosen to step away from the league before the season begins.

Aaron Rodgers was reportedly among the first players to arrive at the Pittsburgh Steelers facility on Day 1 of OTAs, immediately signaling his commitment to the new season.

According to Brooke Pryor, the 42-year-old quarterback showed up before 7 a.m. for the team’s opening practice, getting an early start and already putting in work long before most of his teammates arrived.

Now entering what could potentially be the final chapter of his NFL career, Rodgers appears fully locked in and focused as he begins a new stint in Pittsburgh, reuniting with Mike McCarthy and embracing a fresh opportunity heading into the season.

Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly emerged as a team that could be a logical landing spot for free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs, according to Albert Breer.

Kansas City is still believed to be exploring ways to strengthen its receiving corps, and adding a veteran playmaker like Diggs late in the offseason would instantly give Patrick Mahomes another proven weapon in the offense.

Despite being 32 years old, Diggs remained highly productive last season, finishing with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and 4 touchdowns while continuing to show he can perform at a high level.

If the Chiefs were to make a move for him, it would easily become one of the biggest late-offseason additions around the league and could significantly boost an already dangerous Kansas City offense.

Dak Prescott recently sparked online buzz after being spotted at a Pro Bull Riders event in Texas with Caitlin Rance, who was previously a bridesmaid for his former fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos.

The appearance comes not long after Prescott and Ramos reportedly called off their engagement only weeks before their planned wedding in Italy. According to reports, Ramos believed the breakup was connected to repeated infidelity issues involving the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

Sources also claimed the relationship became increasingly strained after the couple allegedly had a serious argument during their joint bachelor-and-bachelorette getaway in the Bahamas before the split became official.

As rumors began spreading online, TMZ reportedly reached out to Rance. During the call, she allegedly passed the phone to Prescott, who denied any romantic relationship between them and stated they have known each other since college and are simply friends.

Even with that denial, multiple people who attended the Texas event reportedly felt the two were behaving more like a couple throughout the evening.

Not long after the story gained traction, Ramos shared a screenshot of “Firm Friends” from Drake’s newest album alongside the caption “Scorpio king 🤏🏾.” The track focuses heavily on broken trust and relationships damaged by betrayal.

Rance, who previously played volleyball at Mississippi State, later responded to the speculation in a video of her own, where she denied the dating rumors and confirmed that she is still single.

Eli Manning recently revealed that there was a point on draft night in 2004 when the San Diego Chargers were prepared to send him to the Cleveland Browns in a potential trade. However, Manning and his agent, Tom Condon, reportedly shut the idea down and continued pushing for a move to the New York Giants instead.

Manning once again made it clear that he never wanted to play for the Chargers, despite the franchise selecting him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Speaking about the situation, Manning explained that he didn’t believe San Diego was fully committed to building a winning organization at the time, which played a major role in his stance heading into the draft.

The quarterback was eventually traded to the Giants, where he went on to build a legendary career, but the entire direction of his NFL journey could have looked very different had the Browns deal gone through that night.

Terrell Owens recently claimed that a manager he had worked with for more than 15 years allegedly stole money from him, and he argued that the media reaction would be far more intense if he were the one accused of wrongdoing.

Owens said that if the situation were reversed and he had stolen from someone else, major sports networks, blogs, and commentators would be covering the story nonstop while questioning his reputation, character, and professionalism. He added that the public backlash could have seriously damaged future business opportunities and personal relationships.

The Hall of Fame receiver also used the situation to speak about the mental and emotional pressure many athletes deal with privately. According to Owens, situations that may seem minor to outsiders can deeply affect athletes behind the scenes and sometimes contribute to serious emotional struggles.

He admitted that he initially debated whether or not to speak publicly about the issue, but ultimately decided to share his experience during Mental Health Awareness Month in hopes of bringing more attention to the unseen pressures athletes often face.

Ben Roethlisberger, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star and two-time Super Bowl champion, will become eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027 his first year on the ballot.

Over an 18-season NFL career spent entirely in Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger built an impressive résumé, highlighted by two Super Bowl titles (XL and XLIII), NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2004, and six Pro Bowl selections. He also led the league in passing yards twice, earned PFWA All-Rookie Team recognition, and was later honored in the Steelers Hall of Honor.

Drafted 11th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft out of Miami University (Ohio), Roethlisberger finished his career with 64,088 passing yards, 418 touchdowns, and 211 interceptions, completing 64.4% of his passes across 249 games (247 starts). He also added 1,373 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns on the ground.

As a starter, he compiled a 165–81–1 regular-season record and went 13–10 in the postseason, cementing himself as one of the defining quarterbacks of his era. Now, the debate begins: does “Big Ben” deserve a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction?
