New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, who is reportedly contemplating retirement, is not expected to make an official decision regarding his future immediately after Super Bowl LIII is over, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II said the team would like to re-sign impending free agent LB Ryan Shazier (back) to a new deal this offseason, even though he will not be able to play football during the 2019 campaign. He recently resumed jogging, has been dead-lifting weights in the 135-pound range and spent much of 2018 watching game film of opponents and attending team meetings.

Los Angeles Rams RBs Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson are likely to split carries in Super Bowl LIII versus the New England Patriots Sunday, Feb. 3, according to running backs coach Skip Peete.

The Los Angeles Rams are interested in bringing back RB C.J. Anderson for the 2019 season, according to multiple sources.

The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Roy Istvan to be their new assistant offensive line coach. He had most recently served as an assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/offensive line coach for Keiser University in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Indianapolis Colts LB Darius Leonard was named the 2018 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Saturday, Feb. 3. He led all NFL players in total tackles (163) and solo tackles (111), while finishing second among rookies with seven sacks. Leonard had previously been named a first-team All-Pro selection by The Associated Press, as well as the Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers’ Association.

Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald was named the 2018 Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season Saturday, Feb. 2. He led the NFL with 20.5 sacks and also ranked first in quarterback hits (41), tackles for loss (25) and pressures (73).

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that the team has been in contact with representatives for PK Robbie Gould regarding a contract for the 2019 season. However, multiple sources claim that no deal appears imminent.

The San Francisco 49ers are not close to re-signing OG Mike Person to a new contract, according to a league source. He is set to become a free agent in March. OG Josh Garnett would be the likely frontrunner to start at right guard if Person does not return to the team.

Houston Texans RB Alfred Blue was the only running back in 2018 to log at least 150 rushing attempts but fail to have at least one run of 20-plus yards.
