New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has not been featured in too many trade rumors. Last year, the team heavily invested in the running back position in what appeared to be an effort to ease the burden on Kamara. However, after Jamaal Williams and rookie Kendre Miller underwhelmed, the five-time Pro Bowler once again became the focal point of the offense.
Following a series of contract restructures, Kamara currently carries an $18.5 million cap hit, the largest number in the league and over $4 million more than Christian McCaffrey, the next-closest player. This is a lot for any singl ..read more

AFC Contender Denver Broncos may trade Pro Bowler cornerback Patrick Surtain II amid contract change that keeps him through 2025.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been the subject of trade talks throughout the offseason. While the 49ers themselves say they won’t deal the veteran, it’s easy to read between the lines here. Aiyuk’s friends and family have openly said the wide receiver won’t be back, and Aiyuk himself has called out the front office for “bullshit” comments. Perhaps the 49ers and Aiyuk find a way to make amends, but all signs point towards a trade.
Contract issues also increase the likelihood of a Brandon Aiyuk trade. San Francisco does not have much salary cap space, and they need to set ..read more

Several NFL Draft analysts across the league expect the Panthers to use one of their second-round picks on a premier wide receiver prospect like Xavier Legette, Ladd McConkey, or Keon Coleman. The team does not have a first-round pick, meaning they won’t be able to draft an elite prospect like Marvin Harrison Jr or Malik Nabers. That said, this is a deep wide receiver class, so the team has a decent shot of landing a Week 1 starter in the second round.
Mock drafts currently have South Carolina’s Xavier Legette going off the board at the back of the first round or early in the second, which is ..read more

Penn State’s Olu Fashanu will be one of the first offensive tackles selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. While Joe Alt is in a class of his own, Fashanu is widely considered to be the best of the Tier 2 tackle prospects, with most analysts expecting him to be a top-15 pick.
The New Orleans Saints currently have the 14th pick in the NFL Draft and could easily select Olu Fashanu. With Trevor Penning showing nothing and Ryan Ramczyk’s future in doubt, this team must find a way to protect Derek Carr in 2024. According to Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post, the Saints have been “repeatedly linked ..read more

Reigning national champion running back Blake Corum is one of the top running backs in an admittedly weak 2024 NFL Draft class. The running back led Michigan’s offense during his final season, recording 1,245 yards and 27 touchdowns on 258 attempts to go along with 16 receptions for 117 yards and an additional score.
While he lacks the deep speed to be anything more than an adequate starter, some team will likely draft Blake Corum in the second or third round. If DraftKings is to be believed, that team will probably be the Los Angeles Chargers, as they are the current favorites to select the ..read more
