Seven more women have come forward in accusing Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior during massage-therapy sessions, the Baltimore Banner reported on Sunday.

• Per the report, the total number of alleged victims reached 16. All of the incidents involving Tucker allegedly took place between 2012 and 2016 at eight different high-end spas in the Baltimore area.

  In response to the new allegations, Tucker's representatives told The Banner to refer to the kicker's lengthy social media post on Jan. 30 in which he vehemently denied all allegations. Tucker called the allegations "unequivocally false" in that post.

  NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the allegations against Tucker during his press conference ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

  "They are obviously serious issues and he is taking that seriously as are we," Goodell said at the time.

  The Ravens said in their previous statement that they "take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation."

  Tucker, 35, moved to the region in 2012 after the Ravens signed him as an undrafted free agent. In 13 seasons with the team, he is a five-time All-Pro selection, a seven-time Pro Bowler and the NFL's all-time leader in field goal percentage at 89.1.

  The Banner began investigating a tip received Jan. 9 regarding the allegations involving Tucker.

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Tommy Doyle announced his retirement from the NFL due to medical reasons.

• Doyle, 26, played in 11 games during his rookie season in 2021 and one more in 2022.

  He endured several injuries during his career -- notably a right ACL tear during the beginning of the 2022 season and a severe leg injury in 2023. This season, he dealt with nerve damage in his left leg.

  "At this point, with the calendar and the healing process, it looks as though it's permanent," Doyle said on Friday of his nerve damage. "I'm just unable to play football at a high level, and it's time. When you know you know."

  Doyle was selected by the Bills in fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton added a familiar face to his staff on Friday, hiring former New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator.

• Rizzi, 54, served as special teams coordinator on Payton's staff from 2019-21, when both were with New Orleans. Rizzi spent six seasons with the Saints, including an eight-game stint as interim head coach in 2024 when the club went 3-5.

  Before joining the Saints' staff, Rizzi began his NFL coaching career in 2009 with the Miami Dolphins, spending 10 seasons there in various roles, including special teams coordinator.

  The New Jersey native spent time on the staffs of five colleges, including three seasons as New Haven's head coach and six seasons in various coaching positions at Rutgers.

Howie Roseman strolled to the podium, Lombardi Trophy in hand, and took a big puff of a celebratory cigar.

• His forehead had been cut by a can of beer thrown in his direction, but the Philadelphia Eagles' general manager didn't seem to mind.

  "I bleed for this city!" he bellowed.

  Below, a sea of fans clad in Kelly green roared back in approval, not that they had ever stopped.

  Cheers and beers were aplenty throughout downtown Philadelphia on Friday as scores of Eagles fans braved the cold to celebrate their team's second Super Bowl championship.

  Philadelphia secured its latest Lombardi in dominant fashion, blasting Kansas City 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX last Sunday in New Orleans.

  The party started late Thursday night, with fans sleeping in tents along the parade route to ensure they'd get an up-close look at their heroes the following day.

  After beginning on Broad Street, the parade route made its way to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles took the podium atop the iconic "Rocky" steps to give speeches.

  Players posed for pictures with fans along the way while catching beer cans thrown from the jubilant crowd. Tight end Dallas Goedert even made a one-handed snag on a hoagie tossed his way atop one of the parade's double-decker buses.

  Star running back Saquon Barkley made a young girl's third birthday extra special by lifting her up and holding her as giddy family members recorded the interaction. Barkley also recognized one of the team's ball boys in the crowd and helped him over the barricade to join the parade.

  Roseman wasn't the only one to fire up the sea of fans from the podium, as Super Bowl MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts, head coach Nick Sirianni and wide receiver A.J. Brown all sent the crowd into a frenzy when they approached the mic.

  "You know, I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn't come to the Rocky steps until I won a championship," said Hurts, who accounted for 293 yards and three touchdowns in the Super Bowl win. "And now we're here."

  Sirianni, 43, secured his first title in his fourth season as the Eagles' coach. He did it by avenging a three-point loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII two years earlier.

  "This team is special. We can't be great without the greatness of others and that certainly applies to our fans," Sirianni said.

  Brown, who caught a 12-yard touchdown from Hurts and finished with three receptions for 43 yards against Kansas City, clapped back at the criticism he received throughout the regular season.

  "They said I was a diva, they said all I care about was stats," Brown said. "You gonna get all those things wrong about me, but one thing you get right: I'm a (expletive) champion!"

  Brown, Hurts and company got off to a shaky start in 2024, losing two of their first four games ahead of their Week 5 bye.

  The Eagles soon found their stride and rattled off 10 straight wins to seize control of the NFC East. They clinched the division in Week 17 and finished 14-3 to secure the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.

  Never having to leave Philadelphia throughout the NFC playoffs, the Eagles took care of the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders before exacting revenge on Kansas City and former Philadelphia coach Andy Reid, storming ahead 34-0 in the third quarter against the two-time defending champions.

  "I'm so happy you didn't have to go through a nail-biter game," veteran defensive end Brandon Graham said. "It's about us being gritty. We're going to stay gritty."

  Friday's parade was not entirely joyful, though.

  Area police said two women were shot in the leg during an argument that occurred near the parade route, per ESPN. It is unclear whether the shooting was related to the celebration.

  Last year, one person was killed and at least 22 others were wounded in a mass shooting at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, Mo.

The Miami Dolphins have informed running back Raheem Mostert that he will be released, his agent said Friday.

• The Dolphins will clear $2.9 million in salary cap space by parting ways with the former Pro Bowler, who turns 33 in April.

  Mostert joined Miami in 2022 and enjoyed his finest season in 2023, rushing for 1,012 yards and leading the NFL with 21 touchdowns from scrimmage.

  Playing behind second-year back De'Von Achane in 2024, Mostert split backup duties with rookie Jaylen Wright and rushed for 278 yards and two TDs in 13 games (one start).

  "Looks like my client Raheem Mostert will be playing elsewhere next season," agent Brett Tessler wrote on X. "Very thankful for his time with the Miami Dolphins, and this gives them a chance to get younger and gives him a chance to pursue a ring elsewhere."

  Undrafted in 2015, Mostert has rushed for 3,791 yards and 34 touchdowns in 103 games (39 starts) for the Dolphins (2015, 2022-24), Baltimore Ravens (2015), Cleveland Browns (2015), Chicago Bears (2016) and San Francisco 49ers (2016-21).

The Carolina Panthers re-signed long snapper J.J. Jansen to a one-year deal, bringing him back for his 17th season with the team.

• The team acquired Jansen in a 2009 trade with the Packers, though he never played for Green Bay.

  The 39-year-old has played a franchise-record 260 career games in Carolina, never missing a game, and also has seven playoff appearances. He was a 2013 Pro Bowl selection.

  A distant second on the list is kicker John Kasay, who made 221 regular-season appearances with the Panthers (1995-2010).

Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who starred at Colorado at both cornerback and wide receiver, will work out with the defensive backs at the NFL Scouting Combine, which begins later this month.

• Hunter's name was among the list of 329 prospects invited to the attend the combine, which runs from Feb. 24-March 3.

  As a wide receiver, he caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns, plus a rushing touchdown. As a cornerback, the All-American and national Player of the Year had 36 tackles, 11 pass breakups and four interceptions in 13 games.

  While Hunter, 21, has expressed an interest in playing both position in the NFL, scouts generally see him as a cornerback.

  In recent mock drafts, NFL.com projects the New York Giants to select Hunter with the No. 3 overall pick, while Pro Football Focus sends him to the Cleveland Browns with the No. 2 pick.

  Also among those with invited to the combine are Hunter's college teammate, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who is expected to be drafted early in the first round.

  In all, national champion Ohio State leads the way with 15 combine invitees.

  Georgia and Texas tied for the second-most invitations with 14 each.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles are ready to put the debate -- and the trash talk -- to rest and race to determine who is the faster runner.

• The two told People on Thursday that they've agreed to take to the track to settle their friendly feud.

  "This has been an ongoing thing for, quite some time now, and I mean, everybody's seen the back and forth on social media," Hill, 30, said.

  "I've been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like."

  Lyles, 27, won the gold medal last summer at the Paris Olympics in the 100-meter and is a three-time world champion, winning the gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m events in 2023.

  And he also won his fourth consecutive 60m final at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on Feb. 2, then teased Hill anew with a sign that read, "Tyreek could never."

  A date and place has not been set for the race, only that it will be before Lyles races in the U.S. championships in July. A distance has not been agreed to, other than between 40 and 100 meters, according to The Athletic.

  Lyles has no lack of confidence heading into it.

  "Everybody says that they're gonna be the world's fastest, but when it comes down to it, you gotta be the winner every time, each and every time, and every time I show up to the biggest moments, I win," he said. "That's why I'm the world's fastest."

  Hill competed in track in high school and at Oklahoma State and has a personal best in the 100m event of 10.19 second, according to a 2023 Yahoo report. Lyles' winning time in Paris was 9.79 seconds.

Scott Hanson was lauded for his coverage of last summer's Paris Olympics with NBC, and the longtime "NFL RedZone" host could soon return to the broadcasting giant in a larger role.

• Front Office Sports reported Thursday that Hanson, 53, is in talks with NBC Sports regarding Olympics and NFL coverage after his contract with NFL Media expired following the season.

  Hanson has hosted "NFL RedZone" since 2009, but his future in that role has become less certain as talks between him and NFL Media have reportedly stalled.

  NBC is reportedly recruiting Hanson for a second gig as the primary host of "Gold Zone," a whiparound highlights show that debuted at the Paris Olympics.

  The network announced Wednesday that "GoldZone" would return for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics, and Front Office Sports reported that Hanson could possibly host the show during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as well.

  Hanson drew praise for his energetic narration and analysis while hosting "GoldZone" during the Paris Olympics, which at one point saw him cut his hand while banging it on a table in excitement.

  "Scott brought his inimitable enthusiasm and energy to 'Gold Zone,'" Molly Solomon, president of NBC Olympic Production, told Front Office Sports in September. "NFL fans loved watching him transfer his 'all-in' mentality from football Sundays to the Paris Olympics."

  As for NFL coverage, Hanson could be in line to fill in for Maria Taylor, who may leave her current role of "Sunday Night Football" host to join NBC's coverage of the NBA next season, per the report. NBC has the broadcast rights to next year's Super Bowl.

Travis Kelce remains undecided about his playing future, and the Kansas City Chiefs will give him a month to make up his mind.

• The team is asking the star tight end to state his position by March 14, The Athletic reported on Thursday.

  There is a significance to the date choice: Kelce would be due an $11.5 million roster bonus on March 15 if he were to play on the final year of his contract in 2025.

  Kelce, 35, is weighing his future in the wake of the Chiefs' 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Super Bowl LIX.

  Kelce wound up with four catches for 39 yards in New Orleans on Sunday.

  "I know everybody wants to know whether I'm playing next year and right now, I'm just kicking everything down the road. I'm kicking every can I can down the road. I'm not making any crazy decisions," Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast released Wednesday.

  A four-time first-team All-Pro and 10-time Pro Bowl choice through 12 NFL seasons, Kelce would carry a $19.8 million cap hit in 2025.

  Kelce made 97 receptions for 823 yards in the 2024 regular season, his lowest yardage total since 2014. He posted seven consecutive 1,000-yard years from 2016-22.

  "As you see yourself or not feel yourself have the success you once had, it's a tough pill to swallow," he said. "For that not to be there in the biggest moments, knowing your team's counting on you, those are all extremely hard things ... it's just a tough reality.

  "That process can be grueling. It can weigh on you, it can make you better, it can drive you crazy at the same time. And right now, it's one of those things where it was driving me crazy this year. It happens as you kind of tail off towards the back nine of your career as SVP (ESPN's Scott Van Pelt) would say."

  In 175 regular-season games, Kelce has 1,004 catches for 12,151 yards and 77 touchdowns. In 25 playoff games, he has 178 receptions for 2,078 yards and 20 TDs -- all playoff records among tight ends.

The New York Giants are putting a limited stake in the team on the market, with the process likely to set a record for an NFL franchise valuation, Sports Business Journal reported on Thursday.

• The Giants, regarded as one of the most valuable sports teams in the world because of their history and the New York City market, have hired Moelis & Co. as their banker, according to the report.

  The team's majority stake and control will remain with the Mara family. The team's president is John Mara, whose grandfather Tim Mara founded the team in 1925.

  While the reason for exploring a limited partner is not known, the timing comes after the NFL approved a policy in August that allows private equity firms to buy up to 10 percent of teams.

  The Giants organization and Moelis & Co. declined to comment to Sports Business Journal.

  Forbes' most recent valuation of the Giants came in at $7.3 billion, while CNBC pegged it at $7.85 billion.

  For a recent comparison, the newly minted Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles had ranged in value from $6.6 billion (Forbes) to $7 billion (CNBC). Then in December, the Eagles sold a combined 8 percent to two families in separate transactions valuing the franchise at $8.1 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively.

  Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie still controls 85 percent of the team under terms of the sales.

  The Eagles are now at the top of the pro football world, while the Giants have been among the NFL's worst teams in recent seasons.

  Three private equity firms got NFL approval in December to make deals to acquire limited partnerships in teams. Arctos Partners purchased 10 percent of the Buffalo Bills, and Ares Management bought a 10 percent stake in the Miami Dolphins and related assets.

  The Bills were valued by CNBC at $5.35 billion before the sale, while the Dolphins were valued at $8.1 billion.

The New Orleans Saints re-signed running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to a one-year contract on Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

• The native of Baton Rouge, La., and former LSU star joined the Saints in late December and appeared in the final two games of the 2024 season after the Kansas City Chiefs released him. Edwards-Helaire got 13 carries for 46 yards and caught three passes for 24 yards in those games.

  Edwards-Helaire, 25, is entering his sixth NFL season after beginning his career with the Chiefs, who picked him No. 32 overall in the first round of the 2020 draft. In 50 career games (32 starts), he has amassed 1,891 yards and 12 touchdowns on 454 rushing attempts and added 92 receptions for 789 yards and seven TDs.

  His production has not come close to his rookie season, when he gained 1,100 yards from scrimmage (803 rushing, 297 receiving).

  Last year, Edwards-Helaire revealed that he has experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder for over 5 1/2 years. He acknowledged experiencing flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety.

Philadelphia Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, said Thursday that his left knee injury likely will require surgery this offseason.

• Dickerson, 26, didn't disclose the exact nature of the injury, which occurred during Philadelphia's victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 26. He went on to play in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.

  The Eagles selected Dickerson in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Dickerson started 13 of the 14 regular-season games he played as a rookie in 2021. He has started 62 of his 63 career regular-season games and all nine playoff games that he has played.

  Dickerson was voted to the Pro Bowl the last three seasons.

Kellen Moore was non-committal on several topics during his introductory press conference as the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints on Thursday -- save for one.

• Moore said that he would be responsible for calling the team's plays on offense. Perhaps that should come as no surprise since he left Dallas in 2023 when then-head coach Mike McCarthy took over the play calling.

  As for his starting quarterback, roster decisions or the timing of naming his offensive and defensive coordinators, those answers will come at another time.

  Moore likely is catching his breath after a whirlwind start to his week.

  The then-offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles helped his team to a decisive 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans.

  Two days later, the Saints hired the 36-year-old Moore as the youngest head coach in the NFL. He effectively replaced Dennis Allen, who was fired in November after a 2-7 start to the 2024 season.

  On Thursday, Saints owner Gayle Benson informed Moore of just how committed she is to putting him in the best possible position toward getting him back on the league's grandest stage.

  "Kellen, you have my full commitment to doing whatever it takes to deliver another Lombardi Trophy to our city," Benson said.

  Benson also lauded Moore as "exceptionally bright, creative and a tremendous leader." She added that Moore has "been a winner in every stage of his career."

  Moore addressed the elephant in the room on Thursday when asked about taking over a team with the worst salary cap situation in the NFL. The team is projected to be $54.1 million over the cap.

  "Certainly, the opportunity to go through the interview process allows us to have those conversations," Moore said. "The leadership here is tremendous. They're the best in the business from the business side of this operation, and we feel very comfortable with where we're going."

  Where Moore immediately is going is back to Philadelphia -- well, for the championship parade on Friday. Moore said he's all-in after that for the Saints.

  Moore praised Derek Carr on multiple occasions but stopped short of naming the veteran as his starting quarterback for the upcoming season.

  "Derek is a tremendous quarterback in this league," Moore said. "I have had so much respect for him, the journey he's been on. He's a starter in this league. He's a premier player in this league. He's had a great journey.

  "I'm really excited to team up with him and go through this process -- just like any player on this roster. I just got here a few days ago, and I'm excited to go through this journey with all of them."

  Carr, 33, is scheduled to receive a $10 million roster bonus in March and $30 million for the upcoming season, per Spotrac. He reportedly is not willing to take a pay cut.

  Moore also addressed the Saints' need for offensive and defensive coordinators, saying that he wants to hire the right staff and do it the right way. He did not have a date by which he felt he needed to get that done.

  Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he's happy that Moore is in the fold after the comprehensive process.

  "It took longer than we anticipated -- simply because the Eagles kept winning," Loomis said.

The New York Jets have informed veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers that they are moving on without him.

• "Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback," Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey said in a statement released by the team on Thursday.

  "It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization and wish him success moving forward."

  Rodgers, 41, joined the Jets amid much fanfare ahead of the 2023 season but suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the opener. Last season, he rebounded to start all 17 games but the Jets finished only 5-12. He completed 63.0 percent of his passes for 3,897 yards with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

  "I personally want to thank Aaron for his time at the New York Jets," Jets chairman Woody Johnson said in a statement released by the team. "His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career.

  "From day one, he embodied all that it meant to be a New York Jet, embraced our fans, and immersed himself in our city. That is what I will remember most when I look back at his time here. He will always be welcome, and I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next."

  Rodgers has options should he wish to continue playing in the NFL. The Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns are at the top of the list of teams in need of a starting quarterback, however the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and New York Giants also are among teams that could be in the mix.

  Rodgers spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers before moving on the Jets. The future Pro Football Hall of Fame member and four-time NFL MVP ranks in the top 10 in NFL history in many statistical categories.

  He is first in passer rating (102.6), fifth in career touchdown passes (503), and seventh in both pass completions (5,369) and passing yards (62,952).

  The Jets will feature a new look in many ways next season. In addition to Glenn and Mougey, the team will have a new offensive coordinator in Tanner Engstrand and largely a new coaching staff.

  Without Rodgers, New York has veteran Tyrod Taylor, Jordan Travis and Adrian Martinez as quarterbacks under contract.

  The Jets also have the No. 7 pick in the April NFL draft.

The Atlanta Falcons promoted T.J. Yates to the role of passing game coordinator and D.J. Williams to quarterbacks coach on Thursday.

• Yates, a former NFL quarterback, served as the team's primary position coach and Williams as an offensive assistant/assistant quarterbacks coach in the 2024 season.

  Yates has been with the Falcons' coaching staff since 2021 when he was hired as a passing game specialist. He was promoted to receivers coach in 2022.

  A fifth-round pick of Houston in 2011, Yates threw for 2,057 yards and 10 touchdowns in 22 career games (10 starts) with the Texans, Falcons and Miami Dolphins.

  Yates also spent two seasons as an offensive assistant with the Texans and was promoted to assistant QBs coach in 2020.

James Cook has given an inkling about the figure he wants in his next contract: $15 million.

• The Buffalo Bills running back appeared on Instagram Live on Wednesday, then added his own comment that simply said "15 mill year."

  Cook, 25, selected in the second round (No. 63 overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Bills. He signed a four-year, $5.83 million contract and is entering the final season.

  Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers is the NFL's highest-paid running back in terms of average annual value at $19 million, with Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts second at $14 million.

  Per Spotrac, Cook stands No. 48 on the list of average salary by running backs.

Veteran NFL wide receiver Kadarius Toney was arrested last week on allegations that he strangled a woman during a January dispute, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

• Toney, 26, was arrested and booked on Feb. 6 on counts of aggravated assault-strangulation and obstructing/harassing 911 calls, according to police records in Douglas County, Ga. His bond was set at $25,000 on each count, and he was not in custody on Feb. 7, according to county records.

  Court documents viewed by media outlets said Toney squeezed the women's neck "with enough force to cause her to be unable to breath, leave red marks on her neck and cause Petechial Hemorrhaging in her eyes" during a Jan. 14 incident in Douglasville, Ga.

  Toney allegedly took her phone to keep her from calling authorities, TMZ reported.

  Warrants were issued on Jan. 15.

  Toney spent part of last season with the Cleveland Browns, who signed him on Sept. 9. He alternated between the practice squad and active roster. He had zero catches on one target as well as two rushing attempts for minus-4 yards in three games.

  He was released on Dec. 10, two days after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in which Toney was penalized 15 yards for taunting after a punt return and also muffed a punt.

  Injuries and off-field issues have marred Toney's career. The New York Giants selected him with the 20th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Florida.

  Toney has 82 career receptions for 760 yards and three touchdowns as well as 23 rushing attempts for 115 yards and one TD in 35 regular-season games (10 starts) for the Giants (2021-22), Kansas City Chiefs (2022-23) and Browns (2024).

  He also has seven catches for 50 yards and one touchdown in three playoff games for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in 2022. Kansas City released him on Aug. 27, 2024.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt has requested a trade from the team, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.

• Per the report, Pratt was close with former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. The latter was fired by the Bengals following the conclusion of last season and hired to the same position by the Indianapolis Colts.

  The Bengals, in turn, hired Al Golden as their defensive coordinator after he spent the past three seasons at the same post with Notre Dame. That stint followed two years as the Bengals' linebackers coach from 2020-21, with Pratt on the team at the time.

  Cincinnati (9-8) finished 25th in both scoring defense (25.5) and total defense (348.3) this past season.

  Pratt, 28, recorded a career-high 143 tackles to go along with two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 games (all starts) last season.

  He has 616 tackles, seven picks, seven forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 96 career games (88 starts). He was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

  He made his NFL debut in 2024 and appeared in all 17 regular season games (four starts) and three playoff games for the Bills.

  Anderson played 27 percent of the offensive snaps for a Buffalo position group that allowed the fewest sacks (14) in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said he won't make any swift decisions about his NFL future following a disappointing Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

• Kelce, 35, was a non-factor in the Chiefs' failed attempt at a historic threepeat, finishing with four catches for 39 yards on Sunday in New Orleans.

  "I know everybody wants to know whether I'm playing next year and right now, I'm just kicking everything down the road. I'm kicking every can I can down the road. I'm not making any crazy decisions," Kelce said on the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast released Wednesday.

  The 10-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time first-team All-Pro carries a $19.8 million cap hit in the final season of his contract in 2025, which would be his 13th NFL campaign.

  Kelce co-hosts the popular podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the longtime Eagles center who retired before the 2024 season.

  Travis Kelce said many times during the weeks leading up to fifth Super Bowl appearance that he planned to return in 2025, but acknowledged that the extra grind of yet another long postseason run takes a toll.

  "I've been fortunate over the past five, six years, I've played more football than anybody," he said. "It's because of the people that are in that building. The fact that we keep going to these AFC Championships and these Super Bowls, that means I'm playing an extra three games more than everybody else in the entire league. That's a lot of wear and tear on your body and it's a lot of time spent in the building, focusing on your craft, focusing on the task at hand and every challenge that you set up for yourself."

  Kelce caught 97 passes during the 2024 regular season for 823 yards, his lowest total since he had 862 in 2014. He posted seven straight 1,000-yard campaigns from 2016-22.

  "As you see yourself or not feel yourself have the success you once had, it's a tough pill to swallow," he said. "For that not to be there in the biggest moments, knowing your team's counting on you, those are all extremely hard things ... it's just a tough reality.

  "That process can be grueling. It can weigh on you, it can make you better, it can drive you crazy at the same time. And right now, it's one of those things where it was driving me crazy this year. It happens as you kind of tail off towards the back nine of your career as SVP [ESPN's Scott Van Pelt] would say."

  Kelce, a third-round draft pick by Kansas City in 2013, has 1,004 receptions for 12,151 yards and 77 touchdowns in 175 regular season games. He has another 178 catches for 2,078 yards and 20 touchdowns -- all playoff records -- in 25 postseason starts.

The Philadelphia Eagles were crowned Super Bowl champions for the second time in eight seasons, and the quarterback of an NFC East rival believes his team could be next.

• Dak Prescott voiced his thoughts on the similarities between the Eagles and his Dallas Cowboys, who have failed to reach a conference championship game since the 1995-96 season.

  "I feel like we've competed with the Eagles and beat them for the most part when we've played them," Prescott said while acting as an honorary chairman for the Children's Cancer Fund's gala. "I don't want to say, 'Check the record,' when the other guy is holding the trophy, right? So credit to them.

  "They've earned it, and they deserve it by all means. But, yeah, (we're) very close."

  Prescott is 9-4 in head-to-head matchups against the Eagles over the years, all in the regular season. With a 2-5 career playoff record, though, Prescott has never advanced beyond the divisional round.

  Another NFC East quarterback, rookie Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, won his first two playoff starts before losing in the conference title game to the eventual champions.

  "Especially even watching the NFC championship and those two teams (the Eagles and Commanders) -- teams that we battle against each and every year a couple of times," Prescott said, "... (I) feel confident that we've gotten the better part each and every time. But just seeing such a dominating fashion (from the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs), credit to them.

  "It's our turn and it's on us."

  Prescott played just eight games for the Cowboys (7-10) in 2024 before sustaining a season-ending right hamstring injury that required surgery. With 11 touchdown passes and eight interceptions, Prescott was on pace for one of his worst statistical seasons.

  When the 2025 NFL campaign kicks off, Prescott will play for his third head coach with the Cowboys. Brian Schottenheimer -- the team's offensive coordinator for the past two season -- will take over from the departed Mike McCarthy, who held the role since 2020.

  "Super excited for him," Prescott said of the new bench boss. "Obviously, I've worked with him the last couple of years, understanding the type of man he is, the way that he approaches the game. I think the best way to exemplify that is he is the son of a legendary coach. He's not going to take anything about this game lightly. He enjoys the work in it, kind of old-fashioned."

Former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik has landed in Miami as senior passing game coordinator, according to an NFL Network report on Tuesday, reuniting him with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.

• The Texans fired Slowik, 37, last month after two seasons as offensive coordinator. Houston's offense took a downturn following quarterback C.J. Stroud's impressive rookie season, finishing 19th in the NFL in average points per game (21.9) and 22nd in total yards (319.7) in 2024. The Texans ranked 13th and 12th in those categories, respectively, in 2023.

  Houston went 10-7 last season, capturing the AFC South title and beating the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in the wild-card round before being eliminated 23-14 by the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoffs.

  Prior to arriving in Houston, Slowik spent six years in San Francisco, where McDaniel was the 49ers' run game coordinator from 2017-2020 and offensive coordinator in 2021 before taking the helm in Miami in 2022.

  Slowik served in a variety of roles for the 49ers. He started as a defensive quality control coach (2017-18) then became the team's offensive assistant (2019-20), passing game specialist (2021), and passing game coordinator (2022).

  He began his NFL coaching career as a defensive assistant for three seasons with the Washington franchise (2011-13).
