Davante Adams on his 13th season: "This is dog years out there" Davante Adams, the 33-year-old Rams receiver, reflected on the challenges of entering his 13th NFL season during a recent interview. While societal standards might consider him young, Adams acknowledged that NFL players often face unique physical demands, and his body is beginning to show the effects of years in the league. Speaking with reporters, Adams humorously addressed the notion of aging in the sport, stating, “I battle with that sometimes. I am the old man and I feel young because I can still go out there and do young man stuff, but then my body don’t necessarily feel the same way it was back at Puka [Nacua’s] age.” He emphasized that the NFL’s “dog years” concept—where a player’s career spans fewer actual years than their age—means the physical toll is more pronounced. Adams, who has thrived in the league, highlighted the extra effort required to stay competitive. “What’s 13 times seven? Because this is dog years out here. It’s a whole different ball game than living years,” he said. “If I can continue to play at a high level, I’ll deal with the other stuff whether it’s talking about me being old or a little bit of extra pain. It’s just a little extra work you have to do to come out of it.” His resilience is evident in his performance: in 2025, he led the league with 14 touchdown receptions for the third time in his career, despite missing three regular-season games. The Rams’ potential trade for A.J. Brown added another layer of motivation for Adams. While the team explored the possibility of acquiring the veteran receiver, Adams noted that such a move would have likely resulted in his own trade.#pro_bowl #super_bowl #rams #puka_nacua #davante_adams
Buffalo Bills and tight end Dawson Knox finalize three-year contract extension The Buffalo Bills have secured the services of tight end Dawson Knox for the next three seasons. According to multiple reports, Knox has agreed to a new contract with the team, ensuring his continued role with the franchise. Knox, 29, previously had one year remaining on his existing deal with the Bills. However, as noted by NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, the tight end was set to earn $12 million in 2026, including a $1.5 million roster bonus due on Sunday. The new agreement allows both parties to align on terms that keep Knox with the team beyond his initial contract. Selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Knox has spent his entire professional career with the Bills. A former Pro Bowler, he has accumulated 229 receptions for 2,694 yards and 27 touchdowns over seven seasons. In 2026, Knox played all 17 games, starting 12 times, and recorded 36 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns. He was active for 58 percent of the Bills’ offensive snaps during the season. The deal underscores the Bills’ commitment to retaining key players as they prepare for the upcoming season. Knox’s production and reliability have made him a valuable asset to the team’s offense, and the extension aims to stabilize their roster moving forward.#buffalo_bills #pro_bowl #dawson_knox #nfl_draft #2019_nfl_draft
Philadelphia Eagles Enter Pivotal Offseason with Trade Considerations The Philadelphia Eagles are navigating a critical offseason marked by tough decisions, with the A.J. Brown situation dominating discussions, but another player could unexpectedly become a trade target. Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon highlighted several players potentially available in the upcoming trade market, including Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Micah Parsons hinted on his Bleacher Report podcast that Carter could have been considered in trade discussions with Dallas during the previous offseason. Despite a subpar season, Carter’s potential for future growth and his relatively low salary could make him a valuable asset for a well-rounded defense seeking a return. The Eagles have exercised the fifth-year option on Carter’s rookie contract, locking him into a $27.1 million salary in 2027, unless they opt to extend his deal. Spotrac forecasts Carter could secure a four-year, $84 million contract in his next deal, averaging $21 million annually. Extending him now would allow the Eagles to lower his 2027 cap hit. Alternatively, the Eagles could trade him now, leaving the decision to another team. Carter played in 11 games last season, recording 33 tackles, three sacks, and seven passes defended, leading to his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. The University of Georgia product received a 60.1 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2025, a surprising drop from his strong performances in his first two NFL seasons. Despite a slight decline in performance this past season, Carter remains one of the league’s top interior defenders, and the Eagles would require a compelling offer to consider trading him. With the improved Jordan Davis on the roster, Carter might be seen as expendable.#philadelphia_eagles #aj_brown #jalen_carter #bleacher_report #pro_bowl
