It’s not just how the Texans coach handled DeAndre Hopkins, but criticism from multiple former players indicates a potentially toxic culture in Houston.

Well, it’s the end of an era: Tom Brady will no longer be a Patriot in 2020. But Scott Pianowski thinks his new home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be a win-win-win situation.

With the addition of Tom Brady to the Bucs and Todd Gurley to the Falcons, the NFC South will be a lot more interesting in 2020.

QB Tom Brady announced Friday what was reported Tuesday: He has joined the Buccaneers.

Pro Football Focus tabbed Mo Hurst as one of the most NFL ready collegiate prospects it has seen since 2014.

Todd Gurley, a three-time Pro Bowl player who less than two years ago signed one of the largest contracts for a running back in NFL history, was cut Thursday.

The NFL’s spending in free agency continues Thursday. The Minnesota Vikings and kicker Dan Bailey have agreed to terms on a new contract. Bailey was fourth in the NFL in 2019 with a 93.1 percent field goal rate, his best since 2015.

Todd Gurley signed a four-year, $60 million contract extension with the Rams in July 2018, a deal that made him the highest-paid running back in the NFL.

For a lot of teams, free agency brings new hope. But for the fans of teams who lost star players, the difference is wholly different.

The NFL has changed course and is allowing teams to announce agreements they have reached with free agents as well as trades. The agreements and trades leaked out anyway, and on Thursday the NFL sent a memo to the 32 teams telling them it has amended its policy. The league has barred travel by players to team facilities and also halted club personnel traveling to meet with free agents as a safeguard against the new coronavirus.

The Lions agreed to trade cornerback Darius Slay to the Philadelphia Eagles, ending the standout defensive back’s seven-year stint in Detroit. Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the trade Thursday and that Slay has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with Philadelphia. The Lions drafted Slay 36th overall in 2013, and he earned All-Pro honors in 2017.

If the Rams find no team willing to take on Todd Gurley’s contract and left-knee issue in a trade by Friday, there is a possibility they could cut him.

Tampa struck gold with Tom Brady, but he’s also getting a lot back in return. Most importantly, the chance to play for one of the most interesting coaches in the NFL.

The Latest on NFL free agency. Teams can begin making agreements with free agents official as the league’s business season begins Wednesday. All times EDT:

The Los Angeles Chargers had an active start on the first day of the new league year despite missing out on Tom Brady. The Chargers upgraded their offensive line with the acquisition of right guard Trai Turner from Carolina for tackle Russell Okung as well as agreeing to a three-year deal with right tackle Bryan Bulaga. On defense, they have agreed to a contract with Chris Harris Jr., who was considered one of the top cornerbacks available, as well as adding a run stopper in defensive tackle Linval Joseph.

With the NFL market now open, as teams try to make the math work to support their offseason shopping, the Minnesota Vikings have so far been doing more subtracting than adding. Kline joined fellow starters defensive tackle Linval Joseph (Chargers), cornerback Trae Waynes (Bengals) and wide receiver Stefon Diggs (Bills) on their way to other teams. The Vikings, according to an ESPN report, were working on a deal with former Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce, who would replace Joseph.
