Cowboys owner Jerry Jones signals a bold cap-spree for 2026 free agency

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says the team will be more aggressive in free agency for 2026, aiming to create about $120 million in cap room by restructuring deals for players like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Dallas has already extended Javonte Williams and tagged George Pickens, and Jones hints at using trades and two 2026 first-round picks to bolster the roster. A new 3-4 defense under Christian Parker is expected to improve a unit that struggled in 2025, as the team pursues a broader, more ambitious path toward another Super Bowl.

Mendoza eyes No. 1 pick, dreams Brady mentorship with Raiders

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza said at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine that he’s a likely No. 1 pick for the Raiders and described his interview with Las Vegas as excellent. He stressed he’d be grateful for any team that drafts him and would highly value a mentorship from Tom Brady. Mendoza won’t work out at the combine and plans to throw at Indiana’s pro day on April 1, with Raiders visits likely as he continues to develop leadership and football acumen to help turn around a franchise.

Raiders tap Seahawks QB coach Janocko to run the offense

Las Vegas is close to hiring Seattle QBs coach Andrew Janocko as his first offensive coordinator job; head coach Klint Kubiak will call plays, and Janocko’s prior work with Kubiak in Minnesota, New Orleans and Chicago suggests familiarity with a championship staff. The Raiders' 2025 offense finished last in scoring and yards, while Seattle's offense was strong during its title run, signaling a rebuild aimed at reviving Las Vegas’ attack through Janocko’s hire.

LaFleur Brothers Reach NFL Head Coach Milestone

LaFleur Brothers Reach NFL Head Coach Milestone

Matt LaFleur says it’s surreal that both he and his younger brother Mike are NFL head coaches now that Mike has been hired by the Arizona Cardinals, joining Matt’s Packers tenure and making the LaFleurs the third brother duo to lead NFL teams. Mike previously coached as the Rams’ offensive coordinator, and their rise is celebrated as part of a growing football family connected to mentors like Robert Saleh, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and Dan Quinn. The Cardinals and Packers won’t meet in the 2026 regular season, but the brothers’ dual ascent marks a notable milestone in NFL coaching.

Pickens price tag up as Cowboys free agency looms

George Pickens, who posted career-best numbers in his first Cowboys season (93 receptions, 1,429 yards, 9 TDs), says he'd love to stay with Dallas but free agency isn't entirely in his control. He expects to command north of $20 million per year, with a franchise tag possibly in the high $20s, while Dallas balances Lamb's $25 million base and other cap hits. He seeks the best deal for both sides and has not spoken with Jerry Jones; negotiations will hinge on his agent. Pickens stresses he's a playmaker who could thrive anywhere, even joking about Canada.

Purdy: Earn Every Yard in Niners-Seahawks Divisional Rematch

Brock Purdy aims to rebound in the Divisional Round against Seattle after Week 18’s 13-3 loss, praising the Seahawks’ defense under Mike Macdonald for forcing him to earn every yard.
