Tennessee Titans: No. 1 pick Cam Ward signs fully-guaranteed rookie contract
<!--> Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans made it official on Wednesday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft signed his rookie contract — a fully guaranteed, four-year deal worth $48 million, per multiple reports.This was all but a given when the Titans used the top pick on the quarterback, who played at the University of Miami in 2024. Now, Ward will head into Organized Team Activities, which are set to start May 27, with a deal that makes him the highest-paid rookie in the NFL. Ward enters a quarterback room in Tennessee that includes Will Levis, Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle. The rookie will, presumably, be the Titans' 2025 starter, but he'll have to win the battle in training camp, for good measure. Tennessee is coming off a 3-14 season, its worst finish since 2014, and is in […]
Raiders OTAs: Ashton Jeanty’s unique stance, Christian Wilkins’ health and more
HENDERSON, Nev. — During his final season at Boise State, running back Ashton Jeanty went viral for his unique backfield stance. Instead of standing hunched over with his hands on his thighs like most running backs, he would stand up straight before the snap.It served a purpose. Jeanty, who’s only 5-foot-8, said it allowed him to get a better view of the defensive alignment. In OTAs with the Las Vegas Raiders, however, Jeanty has pivoted to using a more prototypical stance. It came at the suggestion of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who believes it gives him a stronger base to explode out of once the ball is snapped. @nfl backfield stance is so tuff 😤 #ashtonjeanty #boisestate #broncos #nfl #nflcombine #nfldraft ♬ original sound – NFL “He won for now,” Jeanty said last week in an interview with NFL Network’s […]
