The Los Angeles Chargers have doubled down on defensive cornerstone Derwin James Jr, agreeing a three-year, $75.6m contract extension that again makes the five-time Pro Bowler the NFL’s highest-paid safety and underlines general manager Joe Hortiz’s desire to keep the former first-round pick in powder blue for the long haul. The new deal reportedly includes $57.5m guaranteed and carries an …
The NFL did not feel the need to hide its headline acts when revealing its full 2026 schedule.

The NFL leaned heavily into established contenders, major media markets and ascending young quarterbacks when deciding its 2026 primetime television allocations, essentially adving viewers who it believes will matter in January. The Los Angeles Rams lead the league with seven spotlight games, tying the NFL record previously shared by the 2025 Kansas City Chiefs and 2023 Buffalo Bills. Just behind …
Where the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh reflected teams’ desire to bolster their trenches, Friday saw receivers and tight ends flow off the board in amongst a heavier look at defensive positions. The quarterback has long been viewed as thin this year and, after Ty Simpson going to the Los Angeles Rams added an unexpected second …
In a first round that began with a quarterback taken first overall and a running back with pick #32, it was not surprising that the offensive side of the ball saw most of their ilk taken on the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft. All told, there were 18 picks on offense and 14 on defense and, in keeping …
The opening days of the NFL offseason have not only been defined by heavy spending in free agency, but also by a series of notable trades that have seen key playmakers swap franchises.

Chinese-American technology billionaire Lin Bin is set to acquire a minority stake in the Miami Dolphins, in a deal that values the franchise and its associated assets at a record $12.5bn.

The Miami Dolphins moved quickly to name Jeff Hafley as the 12th head coach in franchise history on Tuesday, turning to the veteran defensive coach after his recent success in the NFL.

The Miami Dolphins took their time, waited for the dust to settle (and the ink to dry on my Black Monday article), and then pulled the trigger on the Mike McDaniel reign in South Beach, bringing an end to his four-year run in charge of the team. “After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made …
As rumoured, the Miami Dolphins are benching quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and turning to rookie Quinn Ewers for their forthcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is weighing a potential quarterback change after Monday night’s blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers ended the club’s playoff hopes. Following the defeat, McDaniel acknowledged that starting QB Tua Tagovailoa’s performance has, not for the first time, put his status in question, with backup Zach Wilson and seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers waiting in the …

What’s the greatest comeback in the history of the National Football League? Well, the Eagles fan in me would point towards both iterations of the ‘Miracle of the Meadowlands’, but it’s hard to argue against a Super Bowl victory so famous that any fan of the gridiron knows what I’m talking about when I say ‘28-3’. In terms of sheer …

The Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos both tied down a key piece of their defensive line over the weekend. At, by some coincidence, both share the same name.

One month out from the start of the 2025 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins’ secondary looks far from settled after an injury-hit start to training camp. The franchise’s safety group has already appeared to be somewhat of a revolving door this off-season, with veterans Jalen Ramsey and Jevon Holland both departing, but the news that cornerback Kader Kohou has been …
He thought about it long and hard but, after a 13-year NFL career (and two seasons on the sidelines contemplating his future), Ndamukong Suh found a poignant moment to finally hang up his cleats.
