The Green Bay Packers finished 13-3 in 2019 and found themselves in the NFC Championship Game. Despite the successful season, this is a team that has some work to do on both sides of the ball. Most importantly, at wide receiver. Davante Adams continued to be a bright spot in the Packers’ offense but he […]

It was a major bounce-back year for the Minnesota Vikings in 2019. They finished 10-6 and in second place in the NFC North. This earned them a wild card spot and a date with the New Orleans Saints on the first weekend of the postseason. Minnesota entered that game at full health and pulled off […]

The Denver Broncos hope they found their franchise quarterback. Drew Lock impressed during his time on the field and now it is time to get him some weapons. Courtland Sutton caught 72 passes for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns in 2019. Outside of him, there was not much on the outside. The Broncos hold the […]

The Kansas City Chiefs finally got over the hump this season. Andy Reid finally captured that elusive Super Bowl title and he did it with the best quarterback in the league in Patrick Mahomes.

Transitioning from Washington to the Philadelphia Eagles has been a theme over the last few seasons. DeSean Jackson returned to the Eagles once his three-year deal was up with the Redskins.

The Seattle Seahawks won the Greg Olsen sweepstakes. The Seahawks signed the 34-year-old tight end to a one-year, $7 million deal.

Olsen and the Seahawks […]

The Arizona Cardinals went through a major culture change for the second straight year ahead of the 2019 season. Arizona hired Kliff Kingsbury to be their second head coach in as many years. Kyler Murray was drafted first-overall by the Cardinals, and the air raid offense was born. This led Arizona to a 5-10-1 record […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will pick 14th in the 2020 NFL Draft. It is likely that they will be in need of a new quarterback. Jameis Winston played the final year of his rookie contract in 2019 and notched the first 30 touchdown, 30 interception season in NFL history. There is no reason for Tampa […]

New city, new expectations. Is that how it works? The Oakland Raiders will become the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 and they will look to bring some wins to their new home. The Raiders finished 7-9 last season and are in a tough division in the AFC West. Las Vegas showed signs of turning the […]

It was another losing season down in Jacksonville in 2019. The Jaguars finished 6-10 and at the bottom of the AFC South. Since being led to the AFC Championship Game by Blake Bortles, this has been a team in a complete downward spiral. And they still have a ton of work to do. Jacksonville will […]

Cleveland is hoping that the Kevin Stefanski era will go better than the one season of Freddie Kitchens. The Browns finished 6-10 and in third place in the AFC North.

Nick Foles has been the ultimate survivor in the NFL since 2012 and it paid off for him.

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off of a 2-14 season in Zac Taylor’s first as head coach. They finished with the worst record in the league and were gifted the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Every offseason is important, but this one has a little more importance for the Bengals. They are […]

The window is closing for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. They finished 13-3 this season but showed how far they actually were from being a Super Bowl contender during the NFC conference title game. Matt LaFleur was able to get his feet wet in year one.

Stop me if you have heard this before, the Cleveland Browns are coming off another disappointing season.

Cleveland took care of the […]

Philip Rivers is done in Los Angeles. The Chargers decided that it is time to move on from their long-time franchise quarterback. That means that both sides will have to find new options in the NFL.

The Marcus Mariota era is over in Tennessee. The former No. 2 overall pick was benched during a 16-0 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 6. The Titans were 2-4 with Mariota as the starter and Mike Vrabel decided to make a change. He named Ryan Tannehill the starter and the Titans ended up […]

It was yet another disappointing season for America’s team. The Dallas Cowboys finished 8-8 and in second place in the poor NFC East.

The Washington Redskins have a ton of work to do this offseason. They hold the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft after a 3-13 season. They are a rebuilding team full of players who can be cut to clear cap space and roster spots. Some of the players expected to be cut in […]

The Tennessee Titans went on a magical run this season, going all the way to the AFC Championship Game on the back of Derrick Henry before falling short against the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

It was a disappointing season to a 13-3 campaign for the Green Bay Packers. Their season ended with a 37-20 loss in the NFC Championship Game.

Jameis Winston took the podium after a Week 17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons where he threw a pick six in overtime. “Check your stat sheet.

Adrian Peterson had a resurgence with the Washington Redskins in 2018. He played all 16 games and carried the ball 251 times for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Houston Texans had another typical season in 2019. They finished 10-6 and won the AFC South for the fourth time in five years.

The Kansas City Chiefs are an offensive force and that impact has carried them over the hump and into the Super Bowl. This could be two in a row if Dee Ford had not lined up offsides. The point is, there could be more to come if Patrick Mahomes remains healthy and under center as […]

Arik Armstead is going to make big money when he hits free agency this offseason. At age 26, Armstead recorded 10 sacks for a San Francisco 49ers’ defense that was among the best in the league. The Niners may have no choice but to let him go. They drafted Nick Bosa in 2019 and have […]

Chris Jones emerged as one of the best defensive linemen in the game in 2018. He played all 16 games for the Kansas City Chiefs and recorded 15.5 sacks. There were talks of him holding out prior to the 2019 season because he wanted a contract extension. Jones decided not to holdout and report to […]
