Jameis Winston’s time in Tampa Bay may be over. But that does not mean he won’t remain a popular figure in the Buccaneers’ locker room. How do we know that? Well, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, some Buccaneers players have avoided reacting to the signing of Tom Brady on social media out of respect […]

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has quarantined himself like a whole lot of other people during the country’s current situation. And on Saturday, he provided us with a rather, uh, strange update on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TarikCohen/status/1241385108977913856 Um, alright then. Let’s just assume Cohen is hitting the weights extra hard to avoid going down any weird […]

Philip Rivers signed with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this week, a decision that many expected as soon as he and the Los Angeles Chargers parted ways earlier this offseason. Rivers will be joining a Colts club that has some solid weapons. There is running back Marlon Mack, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, tight end Jack Doyle […]

The Golden State Warriors own one of the NBA’s worst records this season, but that certainly won’t be the case next year. Due to injuries to Stephen Curry (who recently returned before the 2019-20 campaign was suspended) and Klay Thompson, the Warriors have been, well, not the Warriors. As a matter of fact, Golden State […]

No one knows what the future holds for the NBA. Not for the 2019-20 campaign, anyway. But that won’t stop individual players from pondering their own futures. Take Glenn Robinson III, for example, who was traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Philadelphia 76ers just ahead of the deadline last month. According to Anthony […]

Melvin Gordon said farewell to the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, signing a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos in free agency. Gordon’s departure was widely expected. After all, the running back held out for a new contract through the first several weeks of the 2019 campaign and didn’t get one. The Chargers then gave […]

The Arizona Cardinals made a huge splash at the beginning of the week, landing stud wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a rather lopsided trade with the Houston Texans. Now, Kyler Murray has a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver, and the Cardinals’ receiving corps just got a whole lot better in general.  A trio of Hopkins, […]

The Denver Broncos kept Melvin Gordon in the AFC West on Friday, reaching a two-year deal with the former Los Angeles Chargers running back. This now gives the Broncos a backfield of Gordon and Phillip Lindsay and essentially pushes Royce Freeman, who was expected to be the club’s No. 1 back when he was drafted […]

The New Orleans Saints landed Emmanuel Sanders on Friday night, signing the veteran wide receiver to a two-year, $16 million deal that could be worth up to $19 million. Sanders also had interest from the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, but he passed on both clubs to join the Saints. So, just what is […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams decided to take some fan questions on Twitter on Friday, and former NFL wideout Chad Johnson decided to stop by. But what question could Johnson possibly have for Adams? Well, he laid down a little bit of a challenge and accused Adams of ducking him, to which Adams […]

Davante Adams is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. We know this. Still, the Green Bay Packers star seems to save his best performances for the Minnesota Vikings. Case in point, during the Packers’ two games against the Vikings this past season (both Green Bay wins), Adams totaled 20 catches for 222 […]

The New England Patriots are in need of a quarterback after Tom Brady bolted for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Could they bring back a familiar face? According to Buffalo Bills reporter Sal Capaccio, some people around the NFL feel that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett will ultimately return to the Patriots “one way or the […]

Matt Patricia is not a very popular man in the Motor City at the moment. His first couple of seasons as Detroit Lions head coach have not gone well as the Lions went a combined 9-22-1 in 2018 and 2019. Former cornerback Darius Slay, whom Detroit traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, ripped Patricia […]

The New York Jets haven’t made a whole lot of big moves this offseason. But they are making some shrewd signings with their available cap space. On Friday, they kept one of their own, re-signing linebacker Neville Hewitt on a one-year, $2 million deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hewitt has spent the last […]

Everson Griffen’s time with the Minnesota Vikings is coming to an end. On Friday, Griffen’s agent, Brian Murphy, released a statement saying that he and his client are no longer talking to the Vikings about a new deal: “We have broken off talks with Minnesota because they have to spend their money elsewhere and we […]

The fullback is a dying breed in today’s NFL, but the Cleveland Browns are looking to keep things traditional. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Browns have acquired fullback Andy Janovich in a trade with the Denver Broncos. They will send a seventh-round draft pick to the Broncos in exchange. Janovich spent the first […]

The Denver Broncos landed running back Melvin Gordon on Friday, keeping him in the AFC West. It was just that latest big move in free agency for the Broncos after they also added defensive lineman Jurrell Casey. Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu has taken note of Denver’s offseason. And he is clearly impressed with […]

Tom Brady stunned the football world earlier this week when he announced he would be moving on the New England Patriots. And on Friday, he officially signed a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, marking the official end of an era. While the Patriots will need to move forward, owner Robert Kraft is having […]

So apparently, Jadeveon Clowney wants Aaron Donald money. Not surprisingly, he isn’t getting it. As a result, Clowney’s market has come to a standstill. So much to the point that he may end up having to accept a one-year offer from the Seattle Seahawks (for whom he played in 2019) and revisit free agency next […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed offensive lineman Joe Haeg, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Haeg spent the first four years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts and is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he played every game, but did not make a start. Overall, he played 74 snaps, with […]

Tom Brady signed a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he may intend on playing beyond just a couple of more seasons. How do we know this? Well, Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that there is a clause in Brady’s contract that prevents the Buccaneers from tagging him after two years. Obviously, this […]

A couple of months ago, Robby Anderson looked like he was out of New York, in search of greener pastures (pun was not originally intended, but hey; it fits). Then, things began to change. Anderson has seemed to become more open to a return to the Jets as time has passed, and now that his […]

One day, you’re on top of the world. The next, you’re scrounging for whatever scraps someone throws to you. That is essentially what happened to Todd Gurley, the former superstar running back who was released by the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday and had to settle for a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on […]

The Denver Broncos already have their quarterback of the future in Drew Lock, and they own an awfully expensive backup in Joe Flacco (for now), but that isn’t stopping them from looking at other signal-callers, even that means taking a gander at what the XFL has to offer. According to Mark Berman of Fox 26 […]

The Denver Broncos acquired defensive lineman Jurrell Casey in a trade with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday, and immediately upon joining the club, Casey is already looking forward to playing with the Broncos’ star pass rushers, Von Miller and Bradley Chubb: “Hell of a pass rusher, what else can a guy like me who loves […]

On Thursday, the Los Angeles Rams released running back Todd Gurley. Now, if you told anyone back in 2018 that the Rams would ultimately be releasing Gurley in March 2020, they would have looked at you like you had three heads. But here we are, and it happened. Gurley did not remain unemployed for long, […]

The Seattle Seahawks have signed offensive lineman Cedric Ogbuehi, according to Jordan Schultz of ESPN. Former 1st-round pick OT Cedric Ogbuehi is signing with the #Seahawks, per source. — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) March 18, 2020 This marks the second move the Seahawks have made to bolster their offensive line on Wednesday, as they signed former […]

The Cleveland Browns are signing safety Karl Joseph to a one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Detroit Lions signed cornerback Desmond Trufant on Wednesday, which had some believing that they could have one of the better cornerback tandems in the NFL with Trufant and Darius Slay. But there seems to be a chance that Trufant and Slay won’t even be playing together in 2020. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, […]

Chris Harris spent the first nine years of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos, but on Wednesday, he joined an AFC West division rival, signing with the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency. However, Harris enjoyed every second of his time in Denver, and shortly after inking his deal with the Chargers, the cornerback […]

The Seattle Seahawks are signing offensive lineman Brandon Shell to a two-year deal worth $11 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Seattle adding offensive line help: Seahawks reached agreement on a two-year, $11 million deal with former Jets’ OT Brandon Shell, per source. Almost like an accidental free-agent OT trade: Seattle gets Shell, Jets […]

The Washington Redskins selected Dwayne Haskins with the 15th overall pick of the NFL draft last spring, so by all accounts, it looked like they had found their quarterback of the future. So why, then, has there been speculation that the Redskins could potentially take University of Alabama signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa with the second overall […]

The Seattle Seahawks are signing pass rusher Bruce Irvin, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This will mark Irvin’s second stint with the Seahawks, as he was originally selected by Seattle with the 15th overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft and spent the first four years of his career there. Irvin spent the […]

The Dallas Cowboys are re-signing kicker Kai Forbath, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The 32-year-old, who played his collegiate […]

The Los Angeles Rams are re-signing offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth to a three-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. This is something that was expected all along.
