- NFL hands out offseason grades for all 16 AFC teams, with the Jets earning an A, Steelers C+, Jaguars D, and Raiders A.
- Aaron Rodgers announced he will retire after the 2026 season.
- Joe Burrow made a bold Super Bowl prediction during the recent offseason coverage.
- Todd Monken, Browns head coach, publicly criticized his quarterbacks for throwing interceptions in a 7‑on‑7 drill lacking pass rush.
- Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers to a one‑year deal, reuniting him with former Packers coach Mike McCarthy.
Why it matters: Jets and Raiders gain early confidence and fan optimism, while the Jaguars risk losing market share; Rodgers’ retirement and Steelers signing reshape the AFC quarterback market, and the Browns’ criticism could spur changes in their passing game.
