The Toronto Maple Leafs are rolling along as the 2023-24 regular season enters the homestretch, and while they are in the middle of their playoff push, it looks more and more likely that they will be the three seed out of the Atlantic Division when all is said and done. With that in mind, staying […]

Many of the big names are off the board in NFL free agency, and with the dust having settled, the Miami Dolphins are in a bit of an interesting spot. They’ve had some big names leave, and they’ve also brought some big names to town. One of their more recent flashy moves involved signing former […]

The 2024 MLB season isn’t all that far away, and somehow, the reigning National League Cy Young winner in Blake Snell is still on the free agent market without a team. Snell’s free agency saga has dragged on all offseason long, and earlier today it didn’t seem like we were particularly close to a resolution […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to put together a bounce back campaign in 2024 after falling way short of expectations in 2023 by finishing in last place in the National League Central. Considering he was entering the final year of his contract, it was safe to say that Oli Marmol was on the hot […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have had an interesting start to their offseason. While they signed big name free agents such as Saquon Barkley and Bryce Huff, they lost key players such as Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox to retirement, and they were expected to look to trade star pass rushers Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick away. […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season, and their backcourt duo of Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards is playing a big role in their success. While Edwards continues his rise to superstardom, Conley has been a steadying force playing alongside him and helping him develop into a […]

The Green Bay Packers have made some big moves this offseason, but none have been bigger than their signing of Josh Jacobs. The former Las Vegas Raiders running back netted a four-year, $48 million deal from Green Bay in free agency, and will now become a key part of an offense that very nearly upset […]

All eyes in the NFL are on free agency right now, and for good reason given the frenzy of deals that we have seen take place over the past few days. But with the biggest names off the board, some teams are going to begin pivoting to the upcoming NFL Draft, which helps explain the […]

The Chicago Bears have had a solid start to free agency, but they really managed to draw some attention on Thursday night when they pulled off a trade for star wide receiver Keenan Allen with the Los Angeles Chargers. While there were a lot of reasons to be excited about the Bears future, the Allen […]

The Minnesota Vikings have had an interesting start to free agency. While they have lost some key players on offense, namely their starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, they have made some big moves on defense that will surely help them improve on that side of the ball in 2024. And with their latest signing, those defensive […]

The Los Angeles Chargers entered the new league year as arguably the most cap-constrained team in the NFL. It came to the point on Wednesday where it seemed like any one of Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Joey Bosa, or Khalil Mack could have gotten traded or cut. Williams did end up getting released, but Mack […]

The New York Jets 2023 campaign went off the rails when Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on just the fourth offensive snap of the season. After another lost season, the Jets are attempting to rebuild their roster with the assumption that Rodgers will be able to play all 17 games, and while they haven’t made […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off winning Super Bowl 58, but they aren’t content with being victorious two years in a row, and they are working hard on building their roster so that they can become the first team in NFL history to three-peat as Super Bowl champions. Thankfully for the team, it seems […]

The 2024 MLB season is right around the corner, but big moves are still being made by teams across the league. Case in point, the San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox pulled off a massive blockbuster trade on Wednesday night that saw ace Dylan Cease land with the Padres in exchange for a massive […]

The Tennessee Titans made quite a splash on the third day of free agency when they shelled out a four-year, $92 million contract for star wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

The Philadelphia Eagles have been busy in free agency so far, pulling off one of the biggest moves in the league by luring Saquon Barkley away from the New York Giants to come in and be their new star running back. While they have lost some big name players this offseason, they won’t be losing […]

The Buffalo Bills are hard at work trying to upgrade their roster this offseason after another disappointing playoff loss last year, but for the most part, their offseason has been about the players they have lost rather than they have added. Thankfully, that changed on Wednesday morning when the Bills got star quarterback Josh Allen […]

The 2024 offseason is incredibly important for the New England Patriots, and after swapping out Bill Belichick for Jerod Mayo and his new coaching staff, the team’s attention has shifted to free agency. The Patriots have a ton of needs on their roster, but they also have a ton of cap space with which they […]

The San Francisco 49ers knew they had some work to do this offseason after coming up short in Super Bowl 58, and one of their biggest areas of need was at the linebacker spot. On the second day of free agency, they managed to fill that need by picking up Eric Kendricks, the former All-Pro […]

For over a year, the New York Giants had tried to sign star running back Saquon Barkley to an extension, but they ended up letting him hit the open market this offseason. That proved to be a mistake, as Barkley quickly agreed to a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Giants NFC East rivals in […]

The running back market in NFL free agency is outrageously deep, and one of the top names available was Las Vegas Raiders star Josh Jacobs. While the Raiders did their best to keep Jacobs in town, they ultimately ended up watching him leave, with the Green Bay Packers coming in and shockingly agreeing to a […]

The Cincinnati Bengals were dealt a pretty big shock on Monday right before free agency when star wide receiver Tee Higgins requested a trade off of the team. However, that doesn’t mean that the Bengals can sit and worry about what to do with Higgins; they have other business they have to attend to now […]

After a somewhat slow start to his NFL career, Jonathan Greenard picked the perfect time to put together a breakout campaign with the Houston Texans in 2023, as he racked up a career-high 12.5 sacks. With that strong season in the books, Greenard earned himself a massive four-year, $76 million deal from the Minnesota Vikings […]

NFL free agency is underway, and one of the biggest names on the open market is star Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David. David has spent his entire 12-year career with the Buccaneers so far, but that could change this offseason, as he looks set to cash in on one final deal before his career […]

NFL free agency is just a few hours away from unofficially starting, and it seemed like star Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin was set to hit the open market. The Colts managed to get a deal in just before the buzzer with Franklin, though, as it was announced early Monday morning that he has re-signed […]

Despite the fact that he just won the second Cy Young award of his career in 2023, Blake Snell remains a free agent with just a few weeks to go until the start of the 2024 MLB campaign. Teams have been skeptical of giving him the long-term deal he desires, which has resulted in a […]

Of all the big names who could end up hitting free agency this offseason, Chris Jones is the biggest of the bunch. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar defensive lineman has turned himself into one of the most dominant players in the league, and while both sides want to get a new deal done, he is […]

NFL free agency is close to being underway, and there are some big names who are set to hit the open market. Among them is star defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who could be set to cash in on a big money deal this offseason after another strong campaign in 2023. Whether he ends up landing […]

The Miami Heat had been rolling as the month of March began, but they suddenly have found themselves as losers in their past two games, with their latest loss coming on Saturday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 107-100. This was a particularly rough game for Bam Adebayo, which head coach […]

The Washington Capitals have sold off some of their spare parts at the trade deadline, but rumors recently came through suggesting that they would consider trading veteran forward Max Pacioretty. While they fielded trade calls throughout the day for him, Washington won’t be moving Pacioretty, meaning he will stay put in Washington for the rest […]

The Carolina Hurricanes have been one of the busiest teams in the NHL at the trade deadline, with their two big additions being Jake Guentzel and Evgeny Kuznetsov.

The New Jersey Devils have swung some big trades ahead of the trade deadline, and it doesn’t sound like they are done just yet. This time, rather than being a seller like they were in their Tyler Toffoli blockbuster, the Devils are adding to their squad, as they have landed veteran goalie Jake Allen from […]

The Denver Nuggets picked up a huge 115-109 win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night, and while Nikola Jokic led the way per usual, Aaron Gordon played a strong supporting role in this game. Gordon threw down some big dunks throughout the night, and he noticed some animated reactions from DeAndre Jordan throughout the […]

The Boston Bruins have surprised everyone with their success this season, so it has been a bit surprising to see them be so quiet at the trade deadline so far. They finally managed to get on the board a few hours before the deadline, though, when they acquired veteran forward Pat Maroon in a trade […]

The Boston Bruins have been having quite a strong season so far, although they have largely remained quiet ahead of the upcoming trade deadline.

The Carolina Hurricanes managed to land arguably the biggest name on the trade market on Thursday night when they pulled off a blockbuster deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins for Jake Guentzel. They aren’t done after that, though, as they put together another big trade ahead of the deadline by picking up Evgeny Kuznetsov from the […]

The Cleveland Browns overcame quite a bit of adversity in 2023 to make a playoff run, and they will be hoping they can build off their strong campaign this offseason. They will need some money in order to do that, though, so the team has been hard at work clearing up cap space ahead of […]

The San Francisco 49ers have some work to do this offseason after coming up just short in Super Bowl 58 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and so far, Kyle Shanahan has been hard at work revamping his coaching staff. That has led the Niners to reunite with one of their former coaches in Mick Lombardi […]

The Florida Panthers approached the NHL trade deadline knowing they wanted some offensive reinforcements, which ended up leading to them trading for star forward Vladimir Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators.
