Kenyan Drake spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career with the Miami Dolphins. While there, the running back struggled to carve out a big role, which meant he never really found an identity. However, he was traded to the Arizona Cardinals midway through his fourth season. That’s when things clicked. In eight games with […]

Tom Brady is a Hall of Fame quarterback. However, he’s not done just yet. The quarterback decided to return for at least one more year in 2020. There’s a little bit of an issue though. He’s a free agent. So at this time, there’s no way to know where he’ll end up. While the smart […]

The Cleveland Browns hired Andrew Berry to be their new general manager this offseason. That’s not the part that’s making waves right now though. What’s interesting people around the league, is apparently the pay he’s getting. According to Jason La Canfora of CBSsports.com, Berry is going to make around $3.3-million a year. That’s getting people […]

No one knows where Tom Brady is going. All we really know is that he has decided not to retire. The future hall of fame QB has spent his entire career with the New England Patriots. However, the quarterback is a free agent at the moment, and no one is sure where he plans on going […]

Cornerback James Bradberry is set for free agency this season. And with his past play with the Carolina Panthers, he should be a pretty hot commodity. Bradberry was drafted in the second round (62nd overall) by the Panthers back in 2016. In the four years since then, he has established himself as a top-tier defensive […]

The Washington Redskins have had an ongoing situation with superstar left tackle Trent Williams. Before the start of the 2019 season, Williams began a holdout. At the time, no one really knew the reason behind it, but it appeared to be getting ugly. Soon, it was revealed that Williams had issues with the staff. He […]

The Washington Redskins have an exciting defense. That includes a great pass rush, that could be even better by the time the 2020 season starts. The reason for that is simple, Chase Young. Washington has the number two overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. And many believe with that selection, they will take Young. […]

Karl Joseph was a first-round selection (14th overall) of the Las Vegas Raiders (then the Oakland Raiders) back in 2016. His first four seasons in the NFL have been up-and-down at best. He’s definitely had some great moments, but the negatives may outweigh the positives at this point. However, Joseph is still young and extremely […]

Tom Brady will be in the Hall of Fame the second he’s eligible for it. However, as of right now, he’s still active. The superstar quarterback has decided to come back for at least one more season in 2020. There’s been a twist this time though. He’s not re-signed with the New England Patriots, or […]

Star pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney is a free agent this offseason. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he has quite a few teams interested in him. It looks like two of the teams showing some interest are the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants, per ESPN’s Josina Anderson. My understanding is that the […]

The Carolina Panthers hired a new head coach this offseason. They went to college, and found Matt Rhule out of Baylor. However, they weren’t done there. Carolina also got their offensive coordinator from the collegiate ranks, plucking Joe Brady from national champion LSU. Brady already has some believers, and that includes Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Edwards-Helaire was […]

Rumors have been swirling for quite some time now that the Detroit Lions are looking to trade quarterback Matthew Stafford. Head coach Matt Patricia has heard these rumors about his franchise quarterback. And according to Jelani Scott of NFL.com, Patricia says “it’s comical” when talking about them. “It’s comical, kind of, to me, to be […]

2019 was a wild season for Jameis Winston. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback threw for over 5,000 yards (5,109) and over 30 touchdowns (33). Those both led the NFL. However, his 30 interceptions also led the league. Winston became the first 30-30 player in NFL history. The fact that he had a 60.7 completion percentage […]

The Dallas Cowboys made a pretty big splash this offseason with the signing of head coach Mike McCarthy. He was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers for 13 years. In that time, he boasted a 125-77-2 record (.618 winning percentage) in the regular season, and won one Super Bowl. McCarthy also called the plays. […]

The Washington Redskins selected quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the 15th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was expected to be the obvious quarterback of the future due to that. However, halfway through his rookie season, head coach Jay Gruden was fired. Then at the start of the offseason, Ron Rivera was brought in to […]

The Green Bay Packers enjoyed a fantastic 2019 season. Although it did not end with a Super Bowl win, it’s hard not to see the positives. Green Bay went 13-3 in the regular season. That was good enough for first place in the NFC North, and the second seed in the NFC. They then went […]

The Cleveland Browns took a massive step forward in 2018. Suddenly, they were setting themselves up to truly breakout in 2019, the ascend to the top was going quicker than anyone could have expected. To speed up the process even more, the Browns brought in some reinforcements. Perhaps none were bigger than the two offensive […]

The Detroit Lions and their star cornerback Darius Slay have been in an odd situation for quite some time now. Slay is one of the best cornerbacks in football. However, his contract expires after the 2020 season, and he wants to get paid. The Lions would obviously love to have him back, but it’s more complicated […]

The Chicago Bears followed up an incredible 2018 run with a very disappointing 2019 one. In 2018, it seemed like everything was working for them. 2019 saw the offense take a serious step backwards though. And that has led to a lot of questions about the future of the offense. Could they be making changes […]

Anthony Castonzo was a first round draft pick (22nd overall) by the Indianapolis Colts back in 2011. Since then, he’s spent his entire career with the franchise. He has been a starting tackle the entire time. Castonzo has built himself into one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL. In fact, you could make […]

Not long ago, I wrote about Tom Brady potentially signing with the Las Vegas Raiders (I keep calling them the Oakland Raiders, that’s going to take some getting used to). In that article, I highlighted three reasons why Tom Brady would make the Raiders legitimate Super Bowl contenders. However, now I’m back to talk about […]

Every day it looks more and more like the Carolina Panthers will be moving on from star quarterback Cam Newton. If that happens, they’ll obviously need to find a new franchise player at the position. Last year, Kyle Allen looked like a possibility early on. Things took a nosedive as the year went on though. […]

The XFL is off and running. As people are tuning in to Week 3, it’s safe to say the league is doing pretty solid, but it could do better with Johnny Manziel. People have been interested. They love a lot of the rules and have already built strong allegiances to teams. Players are turning into […]

The NFL and NFLPA have been working to get a new collective bargaining agreement. It appears they’ve agreed to something at least. The two sides have decided to move back the franchise tag and transition tags deadlines. The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to revise the franchise and transition tag deadlines, sources tell me and […]

The Dallas Mavericks, owned by Mark Cuban, were upset by the Atlanta Hawks in a tight game on Saturday night. The Mavs dropped the game 111-107, as it came down to the wire. However, it didn’t end without controversy. There was a very confusing sequence towards the end of the game.  There was a goaltending […]

How do the Tennessee Titans fit into this picture? Whenever Tom Brady decides to retire, it will be the end one of the greatest careers of all time. He is possibly the most obvious Hall of Famer ever, and there’s a strong argument for him being the greatest of all-time. I’m not just talking at […]

The Detroit Lions picked quarterback Matthew Stafford with the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Since then, he has been their franchise quarterback. In that time, Matthew Stafford has had some truly wonderful seasons. However, that has not translated to all that much success for the Lions. They have won zero playoff games […]

It looks like the New England Patriots won’t be signing A.J. Green after all. The Patriots had a somewhat disappointing 2019 season. A lot of the blame was placed on the receiving core. That sounds ridiculous considering they went 12-4 and won the AFC East once again. However, after an 8-0 start to the season, […]

2019 was a great year for the San Francisco 49ers. Everyone expected them to be an improved team from the prior year. However, no one thought they be this good. The 49ers went 13-3. That not only meant they won the NFC West, but they had the number one seed in the entire NFC. San Francisco didn’t […]

Russell Okung signed a pretty big contract with the Los Angeles Chargers back in 2017. That deal was for four years and worth $53 million. Okung is now entering his final year of that deal, a year that will see him count towards $15,531,250 towards the salary cap for the Chargers. Despite the big numbers, it is […]

It’s probably safe to assume the Cleveland Browns are looking for a new face on the offensive line. The Greg Robinson situation makes it pretty clear that he won’t be returning to the team (or possibly even the NFL) any time soon. With that in mind, the Browns will need to upgrade. According to Jake […]

The Baltimore Ravens selected Lamar Jackson with the final pick of the first-round back in 2018. In his rookie year, Jackson started as an understudy to Joe Flacco. However, he didn’t stay in that role for too long. Before long, he had taken over as the starter. Jackson had plenty of positives and negatives in […]

The New England Patriots are potentially at a crossroads in their franchise. Superstar quarterback Tom Brady has decided not to retire. That being said, while he will be back in the NFL, it might not be with the Patriots. Brady is currently a free agent, and there are obviously quite a few teams courting him. […]

The Washington Redskins made a move on Wednesday that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to many. They are officially bringing back running back Adrian Peterson for the 2020 season. Peterson isn’t getting any younger. In fact, he’ll be 35 by the time the next season rolls around. However, he’s still playing at a high […]

Drew Brees announced he will be playing in 2020. That means the New Orleans Saints likely have their quarterback for the upcoming season. It also means they are now in a weird situation with both Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. A situation that might see them not bring back either player. Now, Hill is currently […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have a ton of draft picks in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. At the moment, they have 10 to be exact. However, the first of those picks comes in at No. 21 overall. While any first-round pick is nice, they could move up into higher territory and go for a real immediate […]

The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t have a spectacular 2019. They did, however, still win the NFC East and have a very bright future ahead. Due to that, it might be surprising to some to see that on Tuesday they cut veteran starting linebacker Nigel Bradham. Eagles are releasing veteran LB Nigel Bradham, who was just informed […]

The Green Bay Packers had a really strong 2019 season, finishing with a 13-3 record. While they did not win the Super Bowl, they still managed to win a postseason game. A loss in the NFC Championship Game was disappointing, but overall there wasn’t much to complain about during the season. That’s especially true considering […]

Superstar safety Eric Weddle announced his retirement earlier this offseason. After a long career, Weddle will be remembered as a great player for a long time, and will likely be honored in the Hall of Fame one day. Weddle played for three teams in his career. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers (back […]
