Browns' Shedeur Sanders among 26 NFL veterans on thin ice after 2026 draft

Updated May 3, 2026, 4:45 p.m. ETThe arrival of rookies puts pressure on established veterans.The Browns are among several teams with multiple high-profile players potentially having to fend off first-year players for snaps.OWINGS MILLS, MD – It’s now been a full week since the 2026 NFL Draft began receding into the rearview mirror. Next, the league’s newcomers hit the road – fully embracing what they see through the windshield as they leave home, college campuses and/or pre-draft training sites to take the on-ramp for the unofficial starts of their pro football careers as 31 of the NFL’s 32 clubs conduct May's rookie minicamps – eight of them wrapping up this weekend, with 23 more set to be in full swing next weekend. (The Detroit Lions opted out of their rookie minicamp, altering the approach to their offseason.)“The message for those guys is, like, every day has to be the most important day of your career now. If you really want to make it, and you really want to find that consistency – like every meeting and every rep is the most important rep and especially from a mental standpoint.

Ex-Browns TE David Njoku Draws Interest From AFC West Team In Free Agency

News ArticlePublishedMay 02, 2026 at 07:08 PM EDTBy Megan ArmstrongThe Cleveland Browns released tight end David Njoku with a post-June 1 designation at the start of the new NFL league year in March. Kansas City Chiefs fans have been eyeing Njoku, 29, as an ideal tight end addition to take pressure off Travis Kelce, 36, as he approaches the end of his future Hall of Fame career. But another AFC West team is reportedly interested in Njoku's services.NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that Njoku will visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. Of course, a visit doesn't guarantee that Njoku will sign with the Chargers. It's still fun to envision Njoku's potential fit in Los Angeles, however. ...The Chargers already have second-year tight end Oronde Gadsden, who developed chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert and flashed playmaking ability as a rookie, and signed former Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar earlier in free agency. Kolar is touted as a blocking tight end, which is a dream in a Mike McDaniel scheme. The Chargers hired McDaniel, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, as their new offensive coordinator in January. What's better than one surefire blocking tight end? Two. Njoku

49ers free agent tracker: Have Niners addressed needs this offseason?

May 2, 2026, 9:03 a.m. ETThe San Francisco 49ers' offseason hasn't been quiet.They've strived to address their needs at wide receiver, offensive line and defensive edge with draft selections and free agent signings. And did.During the 2026 NFL Draft in April, the 49ers had eight draft picks and split them up evenly – half offensive selections, half defense. They selected offensive skill players such as receiver De'Zhaun Stribling and running back Kaelon Black. They also looked for projects to improve their protection with versatile tackles Enrique Cruz Jr. and Carver Willis.Defensively, they added defensive back Ephesians Prysock, defensive lineman Gracen Halton, linebackers Jaden Dugger and Romello Height, who can also play edge.But that was just the draft. The Niners have been making deals since the season ended in February.In one, the Cowboys agreed to trade defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers in exchange for a third-round draft pick on March 11, giving San Francisco needed presence at the line, on the inside. But the Niners didn't stop making calls in March. Next up came luring free agents and retaining some of their own.One of the biggest signings was 12-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams, who re-signed with the

DeAndre Hopkins Puts Joe Burrow Atop His Quarterback Wish List

DeAndre Hopkins has collected quarterbacks like infinity stones during his 13-year NFL career. The three-time All-Pro wide receiver caught passes from 17 different quarterbacks with the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, and Tennessee Titans before the Titans traded him to the Kansas City Chiefs in October 2024. Hopkins was a sure-handed reinforcement for Patrick Mahomes, and he finally reached the Super Bowl with the Chiefs, who were blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles. Hopkins joined the Baltimore Ravens last offseason in hopes of actually winning his first Super Bowl with two-time NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson. Instead, Jackson struggled with injuries, so Hopkins also caught passes from Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley en route to a disappointing 8-9 record.Now, Hopkins remains a free agent, and he has his sights set on the Cincinnati Bengals. ...Sports Illustrated caught up with Hopkins on the red carpet at the 152nd Kentucky Derby on Saturday and asked him which quarterback he'd like to play with next."I got to go with Joe Burrow," Hopkins said.

49ers Could Boost Their Super Bowl Chances With Veteran Addition

Now that the 2026 NFL draft has come and gone, it's time to look at each NFL team's lineup and see what hole are left to fill.While many teams solidified their 2026-27 roster with their final draft choices, most, at this point, still have work to do to get their lineup perfect. The San Francisco 49ers are the latter.The 49ers, of course, made it to the divisional around of the NFL playoffs last season, but they fell hard to the Seattle Seahawks, 41-6.If they want to get back to the postseason and, this time, go further, one position where they still have a hole is offensive guard. Sure, it's not a flashy position, but it's important.As it turns out, veteran guard Kevin Zeitler is available. He's played with pretty much every franchise in his more than a decade in the NFL, so why not the 49ers? Okay, not every franchise, but he's up to six at this point....Kevin Zeitler Would Be a Game-Changer for the 49ersZeitler's 2025 season had good numbers.

One of those holes is obviously at the cornerback position. The team needs a veteran presence here to add strength and depth.Lucky for them, former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers cornerback Trevon Diggs is still available.Jets Should Make a Move on Trevon DiggsDiggs still holds the title for the most interceptions, at 11, in 2021 by any player in a season in the last four decades.

Nevertheless, first-year Browns coach Todd Monken isn't ready to determine a starter – or even establish a timetable for making a decision.Monken was asked whether his goal was to name a starter before training camp begins during a May 1 appearance on "The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima.""I would love to have that. I'm not there yet," Monken replied. "So, I can't say that."Monken went on to explain that the Browns had only, thus far, had three on-field practices.
