Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has found himself surrounded by trade rumors recently. These rumors are not unfounded either.

The 2020 NFL Draft was meant to be held in Las Vegas. Obviously, due to the coronavirus that wasn’t the case. Instead, the draft was held virtually. In 2021, the NFL is hoping that is not the case. And they plan on holding the event in Cleveland. In fact, the Cleveland Browns took to Twitter […]

Jadeveon Clowney is, surprisingly, still a free agent. And many believe that the Seattle Seahawks (the team he spent 2019 with) are out on the star.
