  Penn State DE Abdul Carter has stress reaction in foot, will not need surgery

  Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter, believed to be among the candidates to go first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, has a stress reaction in his right foot but will not need surgery, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

  “I couldn’t be more confident that this will be a non-factor where he’s drafted,” Carter’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said. “He will put on a show at his pro day.”

  Carter will still participate in Penn State’s pro day on March 28.

  NFL rule changes incoming

  The NFL is contemplating rule changes for the 2025 season in Indianapolis. One of the bigger changes will be the chain gang becoming the backup measuring system.

  According to the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Hawk-Eye virtual measurement for line to gain will replace the chains as the primary measurement system for the upcoming regular season. That will cut the measuring time by more than half.

  The NFL is also preparing to review overtime rules, and considering adding more fouls for replay assist only when a flag is thrown on the field.

  Brady, Stafford meeting … in Montana?

  Tom Brady apparently ran into Matthew Stafford at a ski resort in Montana recently, though there wasn’t any “recruiting” going on to try and get Stafford to join Brady’s team in Las Vegas.

  #Raiders minority owner Tom Brady and #Rams QB Matthew Stafford ran into each other at a ski resort in Montana, sources say.

  The meeting, unplanned, was not extensive or in-depth and did not include Brady “hosting” or “recruiting” Stafford, despite reports saying otherwise. pic.twitter.com/eUucyxzxsW

  The Giants also reportedly met with Stafford’s reps in Indianapolis.

  The potential of a trade to New York still exists. Stafford has the go-ahead from the Rams to gauge his market https://t.co/XtRZM2jPtr

  The Rams have said their “first goal” is to keep Stafford on their team moving forward, but they are fine with him gauging his value this offseason.

  “There does have to be an element of understanding, well, what does that future look like without this freakin’ G that’s been our quarterback for the last four years? And there’s no wrong or right way to go about it, but I do think for us to be able to make the most educated decision in terms of the cash budget that we operate on, the draft comp that you would get in return, you just need to be able to have all the parameters to at least explore it,” McVay said, via ESPN. “Don’t have to do anything in secret, want to make sure that we’re all abreast of the situation, even though the first goal in mind is to have you come back here as the quarterback.”

  Packers reportedly listening to offers for CB Jaire Alexander

  “We’ve never really allowed agents to go out and talk to teams,” Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said this week at the NFL scouting combine. “I think that’s kind of [one of the] ones that probably happens anyway. And Jaire’s got a great agent. If we ever went down that route, I think it would be very easy to work with him and his team. I don’t really expect that, but we’ve never really done that.

  “I think it’s something that if we were going to trade a player, we would do that and it would be the conversation between me and the other team.”

  Injuries and suspension have limited the 28-year-old Alexander to 14 total games over the past two seasons. His 2024 season ended in early January after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged PCL.

  Sources: The #Packers have had trade conversations centered around star CB Jaire Alexander and they are open to moving him for the right price.

  Alexander, still just 28 and a two-time Pro Bowler, is considered to be the most decorated CB available. pic.twitter.com/rOF3qsBn1z

  NFLPA team report cards: Josh Harris drastically improves Commanders while Woody Johnson instills ‘culture of fear’

  When the Washington Commanders ranked as the lowest-graded workplace in the league last year, new team owner Josh Harris responded bluntly: “I’m not an F-minus guy.”

  After a season to implement changes in the wake of Daniel Snyder’s forced sale, Harris proved it as the league’s consecutive-year 32nd team jumped to 11th place in the NFLPA’s annual “report card” survey.

  First-year head coach Dan Quinn ranked as the league’s most-liked coach as he took a 4-13 Commanders team to 12-5 and an NFC title game appearance in his debut year. The Commanders also improved their food services, travel and family accommodations as they rose from an F-minus workplace grade to B.

  In contrast, the New York Jets fell from the 21st-ranked team to the 29th as players reported concerns that team owner Woody Johnson was not willing to invest in improvements (Johnson ranked last), did not contribute to a positive culture (last) and did not commit to building a competitive team (second-last).

  “They talked about the culture — it’s a problem, top down,” NFLPA chief strategy officer J.C. Tretter said of the Jets’ response. “[They said,] ‘It’s a culture of fear here.’ And I think that stood out in those grades.”

  Penn State DE Abdul Carter confident he should be the No. 1 pick

  “I feel like it’s very realistic,” Carter said on Wednesday. “I feel like I’m the best player in the country and the best player should be picked first. It’s the work I put in with my dad, who trained me, and all the sacrifices I made, I know I’m the best.”

  Carter will not work out this week as he’s healing from a shoulder injury and he’ll show off his skills to scouts at his Penn State pro day.
