The Dolphins, under the guidance of new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new coach Jeff Hafley, have eight picks in the April 23-25 draft - one in the first round (No. 11), one in the second (43), three in the third (75, 87 and 90), one in the fourth (111), one in the fifth (149) and one in the seventh (227).

"This was one of the hardest years of my life," McCaffrey said. "Everything that happened to me last year ... I kind of had to overcome a lot of odds." In a season in which 49ers stars fell from the sky with alarming frequency, it was McCaffrey who remained in the center of it all. Quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle, defensive end Nick Bosa, receiver Brandon Aiyuk, linebacker Fred Warner and left tackle Trent Williams all missed at least one game because of injury.

None of this stopped New York Giants co-owner and Hollywood film producer Steve Tisch, in 2013, from regularly exchanging emails with Epstein in which the sex offender appears to serve as Tisch's skin-crawling personal "dating" service. Epstein, according to documents that became public Friday in a Department of Justice evidence dump, continually offered up women -- Russians, Ukrainians, Tahitians -- whom Tisch would refer to as "my present" or "my surprise." Other times he inquired if they were "pro or civilian."

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kingsbury is in the running to become the New York Giants' offensive coordinator. Others are being discussed, including Brian Callahan. The NFC East club is speaking to candidates virtually before narrowing down their shortlist for in-person interviews, and the fact that he's got so much knowledge of the division might tip the scales in his favor.

Macdonald, 38, deepened his love for the sport during the Pedro Martinez years. As for his playing career, he said he tore his ACL and "got really slow," which forced him to switch from middle infield to third base. He then pointed out his glasses and said he "had the Harry Potter thing going on" because he "couldn't see the dang ball."

ESPN's purchase of NFL Network and other league digital assets has been finalized after government regulators approved the transaction. The league and ESPN officially announced the closing of the deal Saturday night after the Justice Department and other non-US antitrust authorities completed their reviews. ESPN acquired NFL Network, NFL Fantasy and the rights to distribute the RedZone channel to cable and satellite operators and the league will get a 10% equity stake in ESPN.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals are expected to hire Mike LaFleur as their new head coach with the Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator set to receive a five-year contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday. The Cardinals met with Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak on Saturday night but with Kubiak expected to become the Raiders' head coach after the Super Bowl, Arizona pivoted to another offensive coordinator in the NFC West.

The Atlanta Falcons officially hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on January 17th. Since then, there have been 13 mock drafts where the Falcons, who are without a 2026 1st-round pick, in case you forgot, are selecting at least one player. Some pundits got so bold as to go through all seven rounds; others set their sights on the top 100. Either way, since Stefanski signed on the dotted line, 26 draft prospects have been sent to Atlanta.

After going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft, Durden played in just eight games between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams through his first two seasons in the league, registering 13 tackles, one tackle for loss, 1.5 stuffs, and zero quarterback hits. However, since initially joining the Patriots practice squad in late-August before being signed to the active roster prior to Week 1, Durden has more than doubled all of those totals.

The Seattle Seahawks are wearing all-college-navy while New England Patriots are wearing all-white. Therefore, this marks the first Super Bowl ever with both teams rocking monochromatic looks. It also marks the first time a team donning all-white will face a team wearing one color. In fact, there have been only 15 instances where a team has donned all-white in the big game, the last time being in Super Bowl 50 by the Denver Broncos.

During a recent appearance on "Up & Adams," Alexander spoke about picking the Seahawks to walk out with the Lombardi Trophy, but made sure to send a message to his former team about not overlooking a key aspect of the Patriots, despite the ongoing narrative surrounding the roster: the offense. While defending Drake Maye's performance in the playoffs, Alexander also reminded the Seahawks not to overlook the quarterback's position and not to take the Patriots' offense for granted, even though that is the current trend.

The Patriots' decision to give Milton Williams the largest contract in franchise history has quickly paid off. Williams has proven to be worth the four-year, $104 million deal that includes $63 million in guaranteed money as the defensive tackle has been one of the Patriots' top players in their run to Super Bowl LX. He has two sacks this postseason to go with nine pressures, per Next Gen Stats.

An exciting yet excruciating playoff loss to the Seahawks doesn't diminish the Rams' accomplishments this season. Their ability in coming back to win so many games that appeared lost showcased their resilience time after time, week after week. Thanks for the memories. When are the Rams and coach Sean McVay going to stop ignoring special teams? Open the checkbook and hire the best special teams coach available. They also need to draft a shutdown corner or two. You don't need another receiver.

Mack Hollins hasn't consistently worn shoes in the past decade, not since he started working with a cadre of holistic Australian trainers who extol the virtues of naked feet. He's barefoot today, as normal, or at least his normal, and the cafeteria staffers need him to freeze in his tracks. They'd like to clean up the mess, lest one of the team's newest wide receivers land on the injury report: downgraded to out (glass shards).

On the first possession of the extra period, Seattle was eyeing a sudden-death touchdown. The Seahawks needed less than a yard from the Rams' 16 to move the chains, but Kenneth Walker III was stuffed on third-and-1 and again on fourth-and-1. Penetration killed both plays, even as then-offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb fielded a heavy package on the second attempt. After the turnover on downs, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford ended the game with a four-play touchdown drive.
