Every team has offseason goals. For some, such as the world champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s how to maintain the standard.

FRISCO, Texas — Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith is making a number switch from No. 54 to No. 9, but it will come at a mid-six figure cost, according to multiple sources. To make the move to No. 9, Smith had to buy out the current inventory of No. 54 jerseys and T-shirts, which follows […]

A few series later, just before halftime, Wilson delivered another hit — this time with his right shoulder. Again, a pop. The bone flexed downward, completely separating from the joint.

Tested for COVID-19 in advance, they were separated from draft prospects by walls of Plexiglas, with each meeting lasting only 15 minutes. That’s just one example of NFL […]

For years, folks in the NFL would often openly wonder if they needed to be in Indianapolis for the entire combine. They would complain about the cold weather, saying they were counting the hours until they could hit the road, as they speed-walked through the convention center to another round of interviews.
