The Cardinals filled in plenty of blanks after the draft. The team announced agreements with a whopping 24-player class of undrafted rookies, a list which includes five defensive backs and four rookies. The players signed included: Cornerback Elijah Battle (West Virginia), tight end Alec Bloom...
49ers linebacker Reuben Foster was set for a plea hearing in Santa Clara on Monday, but it will take place next week instead. The hearing has been set for May 8 so that the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office has more time to review new evidence provided by Foster’s former girlfriend...
The Eagles selected former Australian rugby player Jordan Mailata in the seventh round of the NFL draft, giving a rare — but not unprecedented — opportunity to a player who has never played American football. It’s not unprecedented because Jarryd Hayne briefly made the 49ers as a running back...
It was presumed when the Seahawks didn’t trade safety Earl Thomas after the first two days of the draft that he would remain in Seattle next season. But not so fast. . . . The Cowboys still have interest in a trade for Thomas, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports. That makes sense...
Few fifth-round picks rack up endorsement deals. Few fifth-round picks are like Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin. Griffin, one of the newest Seahawks, has landed a smattering of endorsements. Via Yahoo Sports, Griffin’s corporate sponsors include Nike, Bose, and JC Penny. According to...
Now that the draft has come and gone, an effort to predict a team’s total wins becomes slight more relevant. Or, more accurately, slightly less irrelevant. Regardless, bets can now be placed in Las Vegas (in time, plenty of other states) regarding a given team’s total number of wins. Via David...
Since Marshawn Lynch left Seattle after the 2015 season, the Seahawks have tried to find a replacement. Nearly every time it seems like they have one, the player has gotten injured. The situation underscores the importance of durability when it comes to running backs. It starts with not getting...
The Seahawks came into the draft with Austin Davis and Stephen Morris as the backup options to quarterback Russell Wilson, but they’ll leave it with one more player in the group. Seattle drafted former Florida International quarterback Alex McGough with the second pick of the seventh round...
Matt Millen, a well-known figure to football fans for his decades as a player, broadcaster and former General Manager of the Lions, is dealing with a rare and serious illness. Millen told the Morning Call that he is suffering from amyloidosis, a rare illness that has seriously damaged his heart...
The Seahawks continue to make news in the fifth round. They actually traded up to the 149th pick to take Australian punter Michael Dickson with the 149th pick. They dealt a seventh-rounder (226) to Denver to move up seven spots for the privilege. Dickson was the highest-rated punter in the...
The Griffin twins are together again. Shaquem Griffin, the inspiring linebacker from Central Florida, has been drafted by the Seahawks, the same team that drafted his identical twin brother Shaquill Griffin last year. Last year, with Shaquem at UCF and Shaquill in Seattle, was the only year the...
When Trent Baalke was the General Manager of the 49ers, the team had a habit of taking players coming off serious injuries with the intent to “redshirt” them for a year before expecting on-field contributions. Baalke is gone, but the 49ers haven’t stopped taking players in that position. They...
Earl Thomas isn’t going to Dallas or apparently anywhere else. Seahawks General Manager John Schneider admits talking to several teams Friday about a trade for the safety but said nothing was close to happening. Instead, Thomas returns for the final year of his deal, which will pay him an $8.5...
When quarterback Josh Rosen became the 10th overall pick in the draft, he admitted to being “pissed off” and proclaimed that “nine mistakes” had been made in front of him. On Friday, he revised his rant. “I would actually say that I’m not as angry that there were nine guys ahead of me, just...
The Steelers took a quarterback in the fourth round last year, but Josh Dobbs‘ presence on the roster didn’t stop them from taking another one in the third round this year. It’s Mason Rudolph this time around and the Steelers nabbed him with the 76th pick after trading up with the Seahawks...
The 2018 NFL Draft set a record with four quarterbacks going in the Top 10 and a fifth came off the board with the final pick of the round when the Ravens traded up to take Lamar Jackson. The run on quarterbacks did not continue into the second round. That round came to an end [more]

One of the most colorful coaches in recent NFL history (and sometimes that color is blue), has found a new home. According to Richard Deitsch of The Athletic, former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians is expected to sign with CBS to do games this fall. He’ll be paired with play-by-play man Greg Gumbel...
The 49ers and Patriots made the trade of right tackle Trent Brown official Friday afternoon, with San Francisco General Manager John Lynch wishing Brown well. “We want to thank Trent for his service and contributions to our team and wish him all the best in New England,” Lynch said in a...
