Peter Schrager leaves NFL Network
News broke over the weekend that Peter Schrager was considering leaving NFL Network for ESPN, and today Schrager confirmed it. "The rumors are true," Schrager said on NFL Network. "Today is my last day on Good Morning Football. I end with great feelings, we're going to celebrate today. I love everyone on this show. It's all good. But this will be the last episode I will be on this program. With a heavy heart I'm stepping away, but it's also for good reasons and a bright future. Hopefully we'll all still be crossing paths and we can talk about ball elsewhere." Advertisement Schrager, who also works at Fox, did not say where that "elsewhere" could be, but all signs point to ESPN, which would likely have him appear on several of its NFL studio shows. With ESPN potentially buying NFL Network, Schrager could find himself a colleague of his Good Morning Football co-hosts sooner rather than later.

ESPN: Sources suggest Cowboys could make shocking pick at No. 12 in NFL draft
ESPN: Sources suggest Cowboys could make shocking pick at No. 12 in NFL draft After weeks and months of player evaluations, 40 times, 30 visits, pro days, and more mock exercises than ever, it's finally time to make the picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Almost. And in the last 24-36 hours before teams finally start turning in their cards, there are always a final few surprises, it seems. A prospect suddenly skyrockets or plummets based on an eleventh-hour piece of information. A team pulls the trigger to move way up in the draft order, reshuffling the entire first round. Or a name no one had been talking about catapults into the conversation out of nowhere to cause a stir just as the tea leaves seemed settled. That's what's happened with Peter Schrager's mock, at least as it pertains to the Dallas Cowboys. The former NFL Network host recently jumped ship to ESPN, and his first assignment for the Worldwide Leader was to put out his Round 1 projections- not based on what he would do, but what could actually happen based on what his sources around the league are saying. Schrager's intel suggests the Cowboys could- shockingly- use the No. 12 selection to take Alabama guard Tyler Booker: "Booker, a bully of a guard, could help add some much-needed beef to the Cowboys' line. Having had Zack Martin retire this offseason, there's going to be a desire to fill the interior with a plug-and-play lineman." Yes, how the team chooses to address the spot that had been occupied by the nine-time Pro Bowler is a major question in Dallas this offseason. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has expressed confidence, though, that Brock Hoffman is ready to step up and be a 17-game starter. A swap with Cooper Beebe, who plays center next to him and was a guard in college, would appear to be a more-than-serviceable Plan B if things go sideways. T.J. Bass also has fans in the building, as does Asim Richards. Additionally, the Cowboys signed veteran offensive linemen Robert Jones, Saahdiq Charles, and Hakeem Adeniji this offseason. Every one of them is either listed as a guard or can play the position. So using such a high-value pick on a rookie guard- especially when the Cowboys' needs are so glaring at wide receiver, cornerback, and running back- would be a stunner. The 6-foot-5-inch Booker is ranked by Dane Brugler's "The Beast" as the best guard in the class, but that doesn't mean he's a lock to be drafted anywhere in the first round. He's big and strong and nasty, famously saying once, "I make guys not love football anymore." But he's also not considered an overly impressive athlete, and he has some very real technique concerns. Combine that with his playing a non-premium position, and Booker's selection with this year's No. 12 pick would be somewhat bewildering. What's worse, Schrager has Dallas passing on the three best wide receivers of this year's draft class- Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka, and Matthew Golden of Texas- as well as a trio of top-flight cornerbacks and North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton to make the Booker pick. Keep in mind that the Cowboys already plan to pick up the fifth-year option on left guard Tyler Smith's rookie contract. He was drafted in the first round in 2022 but was thought to be the team's left tackle of the future. He moved to guard only to keep him on the field alongside perennial All-Pro Tyron Smith and then stayed there when Dallas drafted tackle Tyler Guyton last year. The Booker pick isn't just coming out of left field; it's coming from a different stadium's left field. And now it's apparently a possibility to watch for at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

Latest trade report could shake things up for Patriots at 2025 NFL draft
Latest trade report could shake things up for Patriots at 2025 NFL draft Multiple teams have reportedly made phone calls to the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants inquiring about potential trade-up scenarios for the No. 2 and No. 3 picks in the 2025 NFL draft. ESPN's Peter Schrager reported the news on Tuesday. Most would likely assume the interest would be in Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but according to Schrager, teams are calling for Penn State's Abdul Carter, Colorado's Travis Hunter and Boise State's Ashton Jeanty. "There have been phone calls made to both the Browns at [No.] 2 and the Giants at [No.] 3 with the intention to move up with several different sources telling me there are teams who are looking to get up in this draft to either the two or three spot," Schrager said on ESPN's "Get Up." "The assumption being, to move up to the two or three spot, it would be for Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter or the running back, Ashton Jeanty, who everyone expects to go somewhere in that five to seven to eight range." The timing for the sudden trade talk feels about right with the draft slated to kick off on Thursday night. However, if teams are suddenly interested in the top-three picks, one has to wonder if interest could grow at No. 4 as well, depending on what player is left on the board. Would a team consider trading up with the Patriots to get one of those top-tier players? Could the Patriots be one of the teams considering trading up? It seems unlikely on the surface, but they could shake things up in a major way if they added a generational talent, like Hunter or Carter, to their roster. Things are heating up ahead of draft night. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
