NFL teams had to pare their rosters down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, which meant several difficult decisions had to be made.

Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only former NFC North star joining the New York Jets’ backfield this season.

While the performances provided no reason for panic, the NFL’s top rookie QBs ranged from uneven to uninspiring in their exhibition debuts.

Josh Jacobs was the NFL’s leading rusher and an All-Pro selection last season, but a long-term deal with the Raiders never materialized.

Despite making it known he was not content to play on the franchise tag in 2023, Saquon Barkley didn’t receive a long-term deal from the Giants.

The on-field fireworks won’t begin until the fall, but on this Fourth of July, several NFL offenses look set to be much more explosive this year.

Two Colts players and a free agent will be out for at least all of this season after the NFL found they wagered on league games last year.

Almost annually, the NFL produces at least one team that makes the jump from last place to first in its division. Who will it be in 2023?

The Bengals and Chiefs aren’t putting their rivalry on hold for the offseason, as Patrick Mahomes returned serve after Ja’Marr Chase’s playful remark.
