Fitzpatrick returns to Miami after six seasons with Pittsburgh. He recorded just one interception last year, zero in 2023 and six in 2022. Tagovailoa returns from injury after playing 11 games in 2024, posting 2,867 passing yards and 19 TDs. In 2023, playing all 17 games, he threw for 4,624 yards and 29 TDs.

He's never had 15 sacks in a single season in his career. Allen is the reigning league MVP and is coming off a season with 12 rushing TDs (second among QBs), after recording 15 the year prior (tied for first).
At No. 91, is Tua Tagovailoa ranked too high on this year's Top 100 players list?

On Saturday, Jerry Jones was mum on Micah Parsons (which might say plenty)
Last Saturday, Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones said plenty about linebacker Micah Parsons. This Saturday, Jones said nothing. Asked about the status of the conversations with Parsons by Kristi Scales of 105.3 The Fan before the preseason opener against the Rams, Jones offered up s word shrimp salad. "I'm glad to see he's working out, in shape, and feels great, and so all of that's good, and, I don't have anything to comment on," Jones said. Given the extent to which Jones has been talking (and talking . . . and talking) about Parsons, the silence speaks volumes. Especially with the Hollywood premiere of the Netflix All-About-Jerry docuseries happening on Monday. This week will be about promoting The Jerry Show, which debuts on August 19. What better way to start the push for the latest NFL-Netflix partnership than to dominate the sports news with the signing of Parsons to his overdue long-term deal? Hey, if the series does well enough, maybe the NFL will end up owning 10 percent of Netflix, too.

49ers vs. Broncos: Worst performances from San Francisco's sloppy loss to Denver
The San Francisco 49ers put forth just a horrendous effort in their first preseason game of the 2025 season, resulting in a 30-9 defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos at Levi's Stadium. San Francisco entered the battle without most of their starters, and it was evident as they looked overmatched. However, that didn't change later in the game as more backups and third-string players took the field for both sides. While it's difficult to look around and identify which 49ers shone on Saturday, the task is much easier on the negative side. Let's discuss who needs to spend extra time working on their craft this week after this one. QB Carter Bradley Bradley signed with San Francisco at the end of July and was already battling the nepotism allegations, as his father, Gus Bradley, is on the 49ers coaching staff, and his performance in this game didn't help his case. Bradley completed just six of his 14 passes for just 32 yards and an interception. He finished the game with a horrendous 20.5 passer rating, which somehow wasn't the lowest on his own team (Tanner Mordecai earned an 18.8). There's a strong chance Bradley's gone before the 49ers step on the field for their next preseason bout. LB Nick Martin Martin, one of San Francisco's third-round draft picks this year, came into camp with some legitimate expectations. However, since then, he's clearly been left in the dust by Dee Winters. Then, in this game, he missed multiple tackles, which won't help him earn playing time any time soon. OL Spencer Burford Burford is entering his fourth season with the 49ers since they took him in the fourth round (No. 134 overall) of the 2022 NFL draft out of UTSA, where he was All-Conference twice. Now, he's holding down the role of Trent Williams' backup, which is extremely important, considering Williams' age. Burford, who is really better suited to play guard, started on Saturday, and he looked rough. On one series, he was responsible for multiple pressures and a sack against Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto, who isn't exactly a world-beater. That's not the way to earn a role. GM John Lynch While Lynch wasn't on the field in this meeting, his fingerprints are all over the roster, which proved it's not deep enough to compete against backups, let alone starters if necessary. San Francisco's front office, led by Lynch, didn't do everything they could to improve their roster after an abysmal 6-11 campaign in 2024. That's why they still have $47.05 million in cap space, the third-most in the league behind the New England Patriots ($59.85 million) and Detroit Lions ($47.83 million), less than a month from the start of the regular season. There's still time to make some upgrades to their depth, but this needs to be a lesson to Lynch and article originally appeared on Niners Wire: Worst performances from 49ers sloppy preseason loss to Broncos

New York Jets' Justin Fields Ranked Second-Best QB Free Agent Signing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Justin Fields is getting another opportunity to start in the NFL as the New York Jets have trusted him to be their quarterback. He's getting a lot of attention as the season draws closer, and writer Gregg Rosenthal lists him as the second-best quarterback signing among all of the free agents from the past offseason. GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 09: Justin Fields #7 of the New York Jets runs for a touchdown while chased by Keisean Nixon #25 of the Green Bay Packers during the NFL Preseason 2025 game... GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - AUGUST 09: Justin Fields #7 of the New York Jets runs for a touchdown while chased by Keisean Nixon #25 of the Green Bay Packers during the NFL Preseason 2025 game at Lambeau Field on August 09, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. More"Quarterbacks come at a premium on these lists, especially young ones like Fields with some obvious positive attributes," wrote Rosenthal. "Fields was efficient with Pittsburgh, and some team -- possibly the Steelers -- should want to see more." In Rosenthal's rankings, Fields was the runner-up to Sam Darnold, who inked a three-year deal worth $101 million with the Seattle Seahawks. The Jets really like what they have in Fields, and they seem to believe he can elevate the team this season. The Steelers may not have been watching at the time, but they will see more of Fields. The 26-year-old quarterback suited up for the Jets in the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers and gave Jets fans a glimmer of hope. The Justin Fields Effect shows up early -- a 13-yard run for a TD. Like I've said before, the #Jets have never had a QB like him mobility-wise. — Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 10, 2025 Cimini would later describe Fields' outing on X as "a good first step." This comes after Fields has reportedly struggled in training camp. Fields will get the chance to showcase his skills more on Saturday in the battle of MetLife Stadium in a preseason matchup with the New York Jets. It's likely he will see more playing time in that game as teams use the second preseason game to see most of their starters perform.
