Titans pull off February trade, swap Sweat for Jermaine Johnson II
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to trade nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat to the New York Jets in exchange for edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II, a deal that cannot be consummated until the new league year opens March 11. Johnson would reunite with Titans head coach Robert Saleh, having posted 13.0 sacks across four seasons and earned a 2023 Pro Bowl before a 2024 injury diminished his production. The move addresses Tennessee's need for pass-rushing help around star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and adds Sweat's run-stuffing presence to the middle, while giving the Jets an edge upgrade as they map out their off-season plans.

NFL weighs live non-football penalties via replay official, sparking backlash
The NFL is considering expanding the replay official’s role to flag missed non-football penalties during games, potentially allowing penalties to be assessed in real time. The plan, discussed by Troy Vincent, would create a new, subjective layer outside on-field action and raise questions about game integrity and whether such calls should have final say. Critics warn it could distort pivotal moments, like late playoff drives, and echo earlier, messy expansions of replay. The piece labels the idea a “legendarily bad” proposal and notes the ongoing tension between officiating accuracy and simplicity in the game.
A.J. Brown Trade Watch: Nine Potential Partners for the Eagles
The Eagles are open to trading A.J. Brown and seek fair value, likely a first-round pick, with a preference for future assets (notably 2027 picks) given their draft capital. The piece outlines nine potential partners (Bills, Chiefs, Patriots, Cardinals, Ravens, Browns, Colts, Commanders, etc.) and discusses fit, needs, and draft-pick scenarios, noting Brown reportedly wants off the team and the Eagles will pursue the best offer.
Falcons franchise tag Kyle Pitts to keep star TE in Atlanta
The Atlanta Falcons plan to use the franchise tag on tight end Kyle Pitts to prevent him from hitting free agency, with a 2026 tag value around $16.3 million and the possibility of a long-term deal later. Pitts, who has evolved into a productive receiver (88 catches, 928 yards, 5 TDs in 2025), is seen as a core piece for a Falcons offense under the new regime, which aims to keep him in Atlanta while negotiating a multi-year contract by the July 15 deadline.
Raiders set sights on six offensive prospects at 2026 NFL Combine
Las Vegas heads to Indianapolis with the No. 1 pick in mind and targets six offensive prospects to bolster the offense: QB Diego Pavia (Vanderbilt); RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame); WR Elijah Sarratt (Indiana); TE Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon); OL Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon); and OT Francis Mauigoa (Miami). The piece notes Mendoza (Indiana QB) is widely projected as the Raiders’ top pick but isn’t expected to drill, while Pavia’s efficiency and athleticism, Price’s change-of-pace potential, Sarratt’s receiving upside, Sadiq’s versatility at tight end, and the line choices from Pregnon and Mauigoa could influence Raiders’ draft decisions.
NFL franchise tag season kicks off with seven prime targets for 2026
NFL teams open the franchise-tag window (through March 3) with a July 15 deadline for long-term deals; the one-year tag (and a rarer transition tag) helps teams retain players, cap space, and hedge against free agency, sometimes as leverage for trades. Judy Battista’s primer highlights seven likely tag candidates in 2026, led by George Pickens ( Cowboys WR) and Daniel Jones (Colts QB), then Kenneth Walker III (Seahawks RB), Odafe Oweh (Chargers LB), Trey Hendrickson (Bengals DE), Kyle Pitts (Falcons TE), and Breece Hall (Jets RB), with the 2026 cap expected north of $300 million per team.
Franchise tag window opens as Seahawks eye Kenneth Walker III
The NFL franchise tag window opens February 17, with Kenneth Walker III expected to be among the marquee candidates as teams decide which players to lock down before free agency. The piece explains how the tag blocks a top player from long-term free agency, notes last year’s only two tags as a benchmark, and surveys other potential targets like George Pickens, Kyle Pitts, Jaelan Phillips and Trey Hendrickson, highlighting the ongoing question of whether a running back like Walker is worth a big cap hit in a constrained market.
Seahawks Stymie Maye, Walker Shines as Patriots Fall in SB LX
In Super Bowl LX, Seattle's relentless defense overwhelmed Patriots QB Drake Maye (295 yards, 2 INTs, 6 sacks) as the Seahawks prevailed 29-13 behind Kenneth Walker’s 114 rushing yards and SB MVP honors. New England’s o-line, featuring two rookies on the left, struggled to contain Seattle’s front, leaving Maye under pressure on roughly half of his drop-backs. Bright spots included CB Christian Gonzalez, who limited Seattle’s top targets with three PBUs, and rookie S Craig Woodson, who emerged as a promising building block in the secondary. Coach Mike Vrabel lauded the season’s 10-win turnaround and emphasized using the loss as motivation to continue building a foundation for next year.
Darnold's unlikely ascent caps Seahawks' Super Bowl LX win over Patriots
Sam Darnold's steady leadership and Seattle's smothering defense propelled the Seahawks to a 29-13 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX, with Kenneth Walker III rushing 135 yards to earn SB MVP as Seattle harassed Drake Maye and forced three turnovers; Darnold finished with 202 yards and one TD in what the piece calls one of the NFL's great career turnarounds.

Dolphins set for 2026 reset with Tua Tagovailoa move
NFL Network insiders say the Miami Dolphins plan to move on from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 2026, likely via trade or release before the new league year. A trade would require the Dolphins to absorb a large portion of his guaranteed salary and incur a hefty dead-cap hit, while a cut would spread nearly $100 million in dead cap over the next two years, with Tyreek Hill’s status potentially influencing the plan under the new regime.
