Scott Hanson announces his ‘NFL RedZone' status for 2025 season
Scott Hanson has officially confirmed his return as host of 'NFL RedZone' for the 2025 season, marking his 17th year leading the popular Sunday broadcast. This announcement comes after months of speculation regarding his future on the show following the reported expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024 season. On Friday, Hanson shared the news of his return with a post on X. Advertisement Scott Hanson speaks on stage during the third day of the 2025 NFL Draft on April 26, 2025, in Green Bay. Getty Images '100 days from now = NFL RedZone. (& for those wondering: Yes, I *will* be there. We have A LOT of Touchdowns to watch together!) #NFLRedZone,' Hanson wrote. Hanson has hosted 'NFL RedZone' since its inception on NFL Network in 2009. Advertisement Known for its coverage of touchdowns and few commercials, 'RedZone' has been an NFL staple for football fans on Sundays, especially heightened with the rise of fantasy football and sports betting, since it entered the fray in the late 2000s. Earlier in the offseason, reports indicated that negotiations between Hanson and NFL Media had stalled, leading to concerns that he might depart for other opportunities. Hanson had hosted NBC's Peacock 'Gold Zone' during the 2024 Summer Olympics, so speculation grew that he could make a complete move there. Scott Hanson speaks on stage during round four of the 2022 NFL Draft on April 30, 2022 in Las Vegas. Getty Images Advertisement Though fans will generally be happy about Hanson's return, some have expressed apprehension regarding the show's format. In late 2024, 'RedZone' began incorporating limited commercials during its broadcasts, a departure from its longstanding 'commercial-free' promise. Hanson even dropped 'commercial-free' from his opening catchphrase, previously welcoming viewers to 'seven hours of commercial-free football.' Despite these changes, Hanson's continued presence will be a stabilizer for fans of 'RedZone,' even with the program's evolution.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport gives latest on Jonnu Smith trade rumors: 'He wants a lot'
NFL insider Ian Rapoport gives latest on Jonnu Smith trade rumors: 'He wants a lot' Jonnu Smith is angling for a new contract, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport isn't convinced that means he'll be traded by the Miami Dolphins anytime soon. "He is actually a part of what the Dolphins want to do," Rapoport said of Smith in a Friday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. "It feels to me like he wants more money, but would like to stay [in Miami]. I know he wants a lot. We'll see what they end up doing. "But going back to the [Jalen] Ramsey thing. If they are able to trade Jalen Ramsey, that's $21 million -- some of the $21 million will come off the books, depending on how much they pay. Trading Ramsey might help Jonnu Smith get the contract he wants, as well." Smith, 29, earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024 after breaking Dolphins franchise records for receptions (88), receiving yards (884), and receiving touchdowns (8) by a tight end. However, he ranks 32nd among tight ends sorted by average salary per year. While nine tight ends are earning at least $12 million per year, Smith is set to play on the second season of a two-year, $8.4 million contract. It's no surprise that Smith wants a sizable pay bump. How high he sets his asking price could be what determines whether or not he's dealt elsewhere.

Rams players who should compete for the 2028 Olympic U.S. flag football team
The NFL will reportedly discuss a resolution this year that would allow no more than one player from each NFL team to participate in the 2028 Olympics, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. This is intriguing because the 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles and have flag football as one of the events. So, we decided to rank the top-10 current or former Rams players who would make great flag football players. The 2028 Olympics are far away, so these names may not be on the Rams or even in the NFL by then. But that doesn't make the exercise any less fun. Advertisement RB Kyren WIlliams: We already know how elusive Williams is, so it stands to reason he'd be equally as dominate as a flag football player. RB Jarquez Hunter: Hunter is an explosive player. He had the third-highest 18.9% explosive run rate in college at Auburn and was drafted in the fourth round to be a home-run hitter. He'll also only be 25 in 2028. WR Tutu Atwell: If speed is the name of the game in flag football, Atwell has it. He broke 21 mph twice during the 2022 season. If he gets the ball in space, Atwell would be an electric flag football ballcarrier. OLB Jared Verse: Defense is half the game, and Verse is a relentless tackler. He's fast enough to keep up with anyone and can swipe at the flag with ease. KR Britain Covey: He's a new Ram who led the NFL in punt return yards in 2023. That shiftiness would go along way in a flag football game. WR Puka Nacua: The Rams star has averaged 6.3 yards after the catch during his NFL career. So when he gets the ball in space, he makes the most of it. DT Aaron Donald: Throw out the age and position. Donald is one of the most dominant players in NFL history. He needs a shot at playing flag football. Although his tenacity might be more of a detriment than advantage. QB Matthew Stafford: Yes, Stafford will be 40 by the time the 2028 Olympics come around and could be retired by this point. But his arm strength is still there and he's still one of the most accurate passers in the world. TE Terrance Ferguson: He's young, fast and great after the catch. All great aspects of a flag football player. Ferguson's 4.63-second 40-yard dash was No. 1 among tight ends at the NFL combine and he tied for the fastest 10-yard split. OLB Josaiah Stewart: He was better than most of the 2025 edge rusher prospects at getting to the quarterback. Those are translatable skills on the flag football field. This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Ranking Rams players who could play flag football in 2028 Olympics

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen to tie the knot this weekend, with wedding planning already underway: Report
As May draws to a close, speculation is rampant that Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen are poised to tie the knot this weekend, with Saturday, May 31, 2025, being widely cited as the potential date. While the high-profile couple has remained tight-lipped, comments from Allen's teammate and anonymous sources are fueling the rumors. Wedding date teased by teammate The buzz escalated when Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins seemingly let slip the May 31st date during an NFL Network appearance in March. Though Dawkins has since walked back his comments, vaguely stating on the Rich Eisen Show, "Is that coming up? I ain't know nothing about that... I have no idea what's going on," sources close to the couple have reportedly confirmed to The Associated Press that the wedding is indeed scheduled for "over one of the next two weekends. " An insider also revealed to Us Weekly in March that "The wedding planning is already underway" and that Steinfeld is "very excited about the planning process." A private romance blooms Steinfeld and Allen's relationship first garnered attention in May 2023, when they were spotted on dates in New York City. By May 29, a source confirmed to People that the two had been "hanging out for a few weeks" and were "having fun." Allen later addressed the public interest in their romance in August 2023 during a podcast interview, calling the paparazzi intrusion "gross" and admitting it caused insecurities. He emphasized their shared desire to keep their relationship private. Keeping their relation away from the spotlight Steinfeld, conversely, maintained a discreet stance, notably sidestepping questions about Allen and engagement rumors during the Golden Globes on January 7, 2024. The couple was later seen together in Laguna Niguel, California, on January 29, shortly after the Bills' season concluded. Their relationship reportedly grew more serious by February 21, 2024. In March 2024, they were seen together at Paris Fashion Week, where Allen famously suffered a minor wardrobe malfunction, tearing his pants during a dinner outing on March 4. Making it official The couple made their relationship "Instagram official" on July 23, 2024, when Allen shared photos of their adventures in Paris and holiday meals with family. The engagement was officially announced on November 22, 2024, with Allen sharing romantic proposal photos showcasing a sunset setting, roses, and candles. This picturesque proposal occurred during the NFL's bye week. Their first red carpet appearance as a couple took place on February 6, 2025, at the NFL Honors, further solidifying their status as a power couple. With a rumored wedding date just days away, the highly anticipated event marks a significant new chapter for the popular duo.
