NFL | Could Derek Carr unretire in 2026? Wed May 14, 09:00 AM
Retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) is 'extremely unlikely' to unretire in 2026, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who cited 'sources with knowledge of the situation.' Carr is already making other professional plans, though it's entirely possible he could change his mind once fully healthy.
| Footballguys view: While Carr eventually will land on the Saints' reserve/retired list, an unretirement in 2026 would likely trigger an immediate release of his rights, given that his 2025 salary of $30 million would immediately hit the cap. At most, the Saints would finagle a late-round pick from a team interested in signing him. And if he eventually has a change of heart, Given that the shelf life for quarterbacks has extended deep into the 30s and, for some, beyond their 40th birthdays, the 34-year-old Carr could still play if/when his shoulder is healed. So, even if it's unlikely for now, we may revisit this story down the road. |

NFL | Jadeveon Clowney not retiring Sun May 11, 09:14 AM
Free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney (Panthers) said that he wants to continue his playing career, several days after being released by the Carolina Panthers. General manager Dan Morgan had tried to gauge trade interest in Clowney from other teams before and after the 2025 NFL Draft but was unable to finalize a deal. The Panthers had offered him a chance to remain with the organization if he agreed to take a pay cut but he declined. According to OverTheCap.com, Clowney's release frees up $7.8 million of salary cap space for Carolina, with $6 million of dead money.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers released Clowney a few days ago can still make plays as a reserve rusher. Clowney compiled 5.5 sacks and knocked down four passes with the Panthers in 2024. At some point this offseason, and perhaps closer to training camp, Clowney should find a new team - perhaps on a contender this time. |

NFL | Two teams vying for Nick Chubb? Fri May 2, 06:00 AM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Browns) is still very much wanted by the Cleveland Browns, but the Chicago Bears are reportedly serious about signing him as well, according to Ken Carman of 92.3 The Fan.'The Browns want to bring Nick Chubb back. They are trying hard to bring Nick back. I know this. The Bears are very serious about bringing him in and are trying to make this push,' Carman said.
| Footballguys view: If healthy, Chubb could still play at a high level. He hasn't been the same since getting banged up early in the 2023 season. Chubb certainly didn't look like himself last year, only gaining 332 yards on 103 carries in eight games. If added by the Bears, Chubb would compete with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson for touches in that backfield. |

NFL | Emeka Egbuka targeted by Rams, Texans? Fri Apr 25, 03:28 PM
Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka was reportedly a trade-up target for the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans before he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 19th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.'My understanding was that there were two teams both trying to trade up: It was the Texans and the Rams. And the moment the Bucs surprised everybody by taking Emeka Egbuka, the receiver from Ohio State, the calls stopped. Those teams were calling all the teams above them and, all of a sudden, the calls stopped. So that's the belief that Egbuka was the guy,' Pelissero told The Dan Patrick Show.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers threw a bit of a curveball at no.19 overall with the pick of Egbuka. Now that the Rams and Texans are still in the wide receiver market, we'll see if they make a move on Day 2 of the draft. |
