As the 2025 NFL offseason powers ahead, the last week of May has seen plenty of movement from quarterback clashes to trade rumours, and some major roster tweaks. Let’s take a look at the key headlines that had the league buzzing.
🦅 Eagles Shake Things Up Without Even Playing
The Philadelphia Eagles are making moves behind the scenes. Bryce Huff, their big-money defensive end, has yet to show up at voluntary workouts and with $16.75 million guaranteed, that’s raised some serious eyebrows. Sources suggest a trade could be coming, especially after June 1 for cap reasons.
On the field, rookie Cooper DeJean is proving versatile in the secondary, and new offensive play-caller Kevin Patullo is working to get Jalen Hurts and new signing Saquon Barkley comfortable in a refreshed scheme. Meanwhile, tight end Dallas Goedert has swatted away trade rumours, reaffirming his commitment to the team.
🐂 Titans QB Drama: Levis vs Ward
Will Levis is having a rough start to 2025. After the Titans took Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, Levis admitted his situation “sucks” but he’s not giving up. Working with QB guru Jordan Palmer, Levis is rebuilding from the ground up, determined to prove he belongs.
Could this be a full-blown QB battle heading into camp? Absolutely. And Levis wants in.
🐬 Dolphins Fielding Calls for Jonnu Smith
One of last season’s standout tight ends, Jonnu Smith, is reportedly unhappy with his contract and the Dolphins may be ready to deal him. The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumoured to be interested, which makes sense given OC Arthur Smith’s history coaching Smith in Tennessee and Atlanta.
Miami fans will be hoping this one doesn’t drag out, but if the numbers don’t add up, Smith could be catching passes in black and gold before long.
🏈 Patriots OTAs: Defence Up, Offence in Flux
The Pats’ defence is looking sharp, but rookie QB Drake Maye is going through some growing pains. He’s been picked off four times in two practices and has been streaky with accuracy. That said, he’s shown chemistry with veteran TE Hunter Henry a potential silver lining.
In other news, long-time centre David Andrews is officially hanging up his cleats and will be honoured on June 2.
🐎 Colts: A Real QB Competition Is On
Daniel Jones vs. Anthony Richardson yes, you read that right. Both QBs are splitting reps equally at Colts OTAs, and coach Shane Steichen insists this is a true competition. While Richardson is the long-term hope, Jones is quietly putting together a solid start to the offseason.
Could the veteran edge out the future franchise guy, at least early on?
🛡️ Cowboys Looking at Linebacker Help
With DeMarvion Overshown going down with a significant knee injury, the Dallas Cowboys are suddenly light at linebacker. Rumour has it veteran C.J. Mosley is on their radar as a potential stopgap and his leadership could be just what that young defence needs.
🏁 Final Whistle
While training camps are still weeks away, the heat is already building. Roster decisions, contract disputes, and rookie shakeups are setting the stage for a high-drama 2025 season.
Keep an eye on these storylines things are only just getting started.
