Isiah Pacheco News
Tuesday, March 10, 9:18 AM
The Detroit Lions are signing free-agent running back Isiah Pacheco to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Pacheco will essentially replace David Montgomery, who was traded to the Houston Texans, as the backfield complement to starter Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. The 27-year-old former seventh-rounder in 2022 out of Rutgers had 1,765 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns on 375 carries for the Chiefs in his first two years in the league, but injuries slowed him down the last two years, as he had a combined 772 rushing yards and only two rushing TDs on 201 carries in 2024 and 2025. The landing spot with the Lions is certainly a good one for a potential bounce-back campaign for Pacheco in his fifth year in the league, and he won't cost much late in drafts this fall as a handcuff for Gibbs.

Zay Flowers News
Sunday, March 15, 10:47 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers quietly finished 2025 with a career-high 1,211 receiving yards, largely on the strength of three monster 120+ yard performances littered throughout the season. Now, with the Ravens welcoming a new coaching staff for 2026, Flowers is in a position to become the clear focal point of Baltimore's passing offense. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle arrived in Baltimore from Ben Johnson's coaching tree, noting the importance of explosive plays, and then in the opening week of free agency, the team said goodbye to two of its more explosive playmakers in Isaiah Likely and Keaton Mitchell. Heading into the NFL draft, Flowers' biggest competition for targets is the soon-to-be-31-year-old Mark Andrews and sixth-year wideout Rashod Bateman, who has yet to top the 46 receptions from his rookie year.
