  • Report: Arthur Smith revenge game vs ATL Week 1
    WSB’s Zach Klein reports the Falcons are expected to play Week 1 at home against the Steelers.

    Advice: The Steelers’ current offensive coordinator is the Falcons’ former head coach, Arthur Smith. He will get a chance to debut Pittsburgh’s new offense with Russell Wilson or Justin Fields at the helm against his former team. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins will likely make his Falcons debut in this game, after signing a four-year, $180 million deal with the team. Though Atlanta took Michael Penix Jr. in the draft, Cousins is still expected to be the starter for this season. His return off an Achilles injury, along with Arthur Smith’s new offense, will be the storylines for this game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm

  • Let go by Washington
    The Commanders released Fromm on Tuesday.

    Advice: Fromm spent the entire 2023 season on Washington's practice squad. The 2020 fifth-round pick's only career snaps in an NFL regular-season game came in 2021 with the Giants. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 am

  • Jets to open season on MNF for 2nd straight year
    The Jets will play the 49ers in Week 1 on Monday Night Football.

    Advice: It will be the Jets’ second straight Monday night season opener. Last year’s Week 1 was a waking nightmare for New York as Aaron Rodgers ruptured his Achilles four snaps into the game and missed the rest of the season despite constant talk of an early return from injury. Rodgers and the Jets will take on a stingy Niners defense graded by PFF as 2023’s third best pass rushing unit and second best coverage unit. It will be a tough test for Rodgers, 40, and the Jets offense to start 2024. The game will be something of a homecoming for Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who served as the 49ers defensive coordinator for four years. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:58 am

  • FOX: Cowboys visiting Browns in Week 1
    FOX Sports’ Michael Strahan announced that the Cowboys will visit the Browns in Week 1.

    Advice: Perhaps bigger than the game itself is who will be calling the game, as this is set to be Tom Brady’s broadcasting debut. The future Hall of Famer, who retired at the end of the 2022 season, to become their next in-game analyst whenever he was ready to do so. He’ll be tasked with calling a game between a Cowboys team led by Dak Prescott in a potential contract year, as they take on the Browns, who hope 2024 is the year the trade for Deshaun Watson finally pays off.

  • Lands four-year, $212M extension
    Goff agreed to a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Lions on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Advice: The deal contains $170 million guaranteed, and Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions franchise history. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick of the Rams, Goff was acquired from Los Angeles in the Matthew Stafford deal following the 2020 season and has resurrected his career under Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. In three seasons with Detroit, Goff has completed 66.5 percent of his passes -- up from 63.4 percent with Los Angeles -- and has thrown for 12,258 yards with a stellar 78:27 TD:INT. He's lowered his turnover rate with Detroit and just helped lead the team to the NFC Championship Game last season. Goff is still just 29 years old and is locked in with the Lions for at least the next few seasons. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:51 pm
