Listeners, here's what you need to know right now across the NFL. With the 2025 season approaching, nearly half the NFL’s teams are fueling the excitement by unveiling new uniforms and alternate helmets. The Steelers are pulling from their roots with a 1933 throwback gold jersey and helmet, while both the Saints and the Chargers are boldly rocking gold as well. The Saints, in particular, are set to take the field this year with both a new white helmet and a gold alternate look. Expect even more reveals throughout July, and fans can anticipate these alternates to be featured in up to four games per team—a jump from the previous three after a new league rule passed this April, according to CBS Sports.

The player and coaching carousel was in full motion this offseason. The Steelers made the most noise, trading for star wide receiver DK Metcalf and also acquiring cornerbacks Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey, plus tight end Jonnu Smith. Both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson found new homes in New York—Fields landing with the Jets and Wilson suiting up for the Giants. Geno Smith is headed to the Raiders, Sam Darnold signed a lucrative $100-million deal to anchor the Seahawks, and Daniel Jones is moving to Indianapolis to join the Colts’ quarterback competition. Major wide receivers shuffled teams as well: Stefon Diggs landed with the Patriots, Deebo Samuel joined Washington, Cooper Kupp signed with Seattle, and Davante Adams was picked up by the Rams, per ESPN.

A key story making waves is the ongoing turmoil within the NFL Players Association. As detailed by Defector, the NFLPA’s leadership has been rocked by scandal and dysfunction, with internal strife over transparency and solidarity making it harder than ever for players to negotiate effectively. Former presidents and chief strategists have resigned, with allegations surfacing over mishandled communications and questionable financial decisions.

On the rules front, the league’s controversial “tush push” quarterback sneak remains legal after a heated debate between owners. According to ABC7 News, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie fought hard to save the play, calling in Jason Kelce to defend its safety and competitive value. The Packers pushed for a ban, and while the play is divisive, for now Jalen Hurts and the Eagles can keep using it. In another special teams tweak, the league adjusted kickoff rules again: a touchback now starts at the 35-yard line instead of the 30, a shift that aims to encourage more kickoff returns after last season’s lackluster 32.8 percent return rate.

Training camps are heating up and injury news is starting to shape early seasons. The Giants’ Malik Nabers, coming off a record-breaking rookie year, missed spring activities with a toe injury but is back on the field for now—though surgery might be in the cards later according to CBS Sports. Meanwhile, the Cardinals placed top defensive rookie Walter Nolen and two others on the PUP list, and Miami’s offensive lineman Bayron Matos suffered a serious injury at camp and was airlifted for treatment.

For die-hard listeners, deeper context surrounds ongoing contract talks and player suspensions. Buffalo’s James Cook and the Rams’ Kyren Williams are both in camp as negotiations continue, per NFL Network. At the same time, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice had a major off-field incident: ABC7 News reports he was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation for his involvement in a high-speed crash but will serve jail time over the next five years.

Philadelphia remains a team to watch, still basking in the afterglow of recent championships but keenly aware that every team will be aiming for them in 2025, judging by press conference comments from Eagles stars like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown. With most of the starting lineup returning, Philly is focused on both evolving their offense and protecting its hard-nosed identity, as broadcast in recent team media sessions.
