It’s been a busy week for all 32 teams, not excluding the Pittsburgh Steelers, who made one of the more highlighting signings. Of course, we’re talking about former Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who became a free agent after being […]

NFL free agency has been wild since nearly a week ago, and the Tennessee Titans have been one of the more interesting teams in the league. Of course, the Titans will have a new-look team next year with new head coach Brian Callahan taking the reins. He began his time with Tennessee alongside Ran Carthon […]

It will be a new era for the Atlanta Falcons once the 2024 NFL regular season begins in September, with not only a new head coach in Raheem Morris and staff but also some very notable additions to the roster through free agency. The Falcons more or less rang the bell to initiate the start […]

Since the NFL new year started and free agency began, the Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the more active teams in the entire league. They’ve definitely looked to bolster their roster for the 2024 season by adding running back Saquon Barkley, linebacker Devin White, and cornerback CJ Gardner-Johnson, just to name a few. But […]

It’s been nearly one week since NFL free agency began, and it’s been a never-ending frenzy show ever since. Some teams have been turned upside down with the acquiring new players, while others have suffered the consequences of choosing not to re-sign them, or sign no one at all (ahem, Dallas Cowboys). There have also […]

The Atlanta Falcons’ NFL new year has started off with a bang, with the team making some exciting moves in free agency. Many of these moves, including signing quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal, may provide insight into the team’s draft strategy this year. With things perhaps a bit clearer now, check […]

To say that it’s been an uneventful few days for the Dallas Cowboys in free agency would be an understatement. Like all the other 31 teams across the NFL, the Cowboys have had the same opportunities to reach out to players and their representatives, starting with the legal tampering period. Yet, the Cowboys have pretty […]

It seems that before they’ve even touched the field together, new Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and tight end Kyle Pitts have formed quite the bond with each other.

With still weeks away from the 2024 regular season as Spring Training progresses along, the Tampa Bay Rays are making preparations to have another successful year in what looks to be a highly competitive AL East. Those familiar with Rays baseball know the DNA of this franchise up to this point. They’re a small-market team […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant move during the legal tampering period of free agency, coming to a deal with linebacker Patrick Queen. The former first-round draft pick was likewise one of the top-ranked linebackers in free agency, after a successful four-year career with the Baltimore Ravens. Steelers agree to 3-year, $41M deal with LB […]

The Los Angeles Chargers made the move on Wednesday to release wide receiver Mike Williams. With his release, the Chargers were able to shed around $20 million against the salary cap, to which they were $25 million over before his release, per Over the Cap. Williams’ release is not a bit surprising, as it’s been […]

The Atlanta Falcons essentially started early free agency off on Monday with the unsurprising move of reaching a deal with former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. They then followed that up with providing the veteran quarterback with a little more help in wide receiver Darnell Mooney. Falcons to sign WR Darnell Mooney to three-year, $39M […]

If you’re the Pittsburgh Pirates, the start of Spring Training at least signals that all things are new again and that records won’t count toward the regular season, good or bad. But if you’ve watched the Pirates enough, you know that it’s usually only a matter of time before things turn bad and the regular […]

The legal tampering window has brought blessings and curses to the Minnesota Vikings. From the jump, the Atlanta Falcons and free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins came to a deal that would end his time in Minnesota. That was just one problem, as the Vikings also lost pass-rusher Danielle Hunter to the Houston Texans and still […]

The Houston Texans looked to have potentially beefed up their offense, trading with the Cincinnati Bengals for running back Joe Mixon. It was originally believed that the Bengals would be releasing Mixon, but then the Texans traded for the veteran back for a conditional seventh-round pick, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Bengals, after all, […]

The second day of legal tampering, aka, early free agency, was well underway on Tuesday and the signing’s kept on coming, with Derrick Henry finding a new home with the Baltimore Ravens.

The unofficial start to NFL free agency began once the clock hit noon Eastern on Monday, with the legal tampering window opening, allowing teams to begin talking to players’ representatives directly.

If you’re the St. Louis Cardinals, you have more than likely been impatiently waiting for the 2024 MLB Opening Day since the final out of the 2023 regular season. That’s because the Cardinals are looking to redeem what was one of the worst seasons in team history last year. The Red Birds won just 71 […]

After having one of the better years of his entire career in 2023, quarterback Baker Mayfield looks to have signed a new three-year, $100 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. “I wanted a chance to come back,” Mayfield told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “I love coach [Todd] Bowles and the staff. I’m happy […]

Preparations for the 2024 season are well underway in Scottsdale, Arizona, at Salt River Fields, where the Colorado Rockies are gearing up during Spring Training for what hopes to be a better year than the last, and even the few before that. If you’re a Rockies fan, it’s been tough sledding for a while watching […]

The Baltimore Orioles are looking to build off their bit of a surprising 2023 season, starting in Spring Training, which is now well underway.

With Spring Training in full swing, so are the Houston Astros, as they look to finally complete what could be declared the sport’s first dynasty in decades in 2024.

In what looks to be an NFL free agency with a number of promising running backs, Josh Jacobs may be at the forefront of all of them, with the Raiders choosing not to franchise tag him. At just 26 years old and with five years of experience, the former Alabama running back will most likely […]

With the combine over, the NFL season is just getting started. Free agency will be the next big date (March 13), which marks the beginning of the 2024 League Year. That could create a whole new set of scenarios right before the league’s biggest event outside of games played: the 2024 NFL Draft. The NFL […]

Even though he’s barely stepped foot on the field, you already know the name Arch Manning very well. Most of that comes through his famous family lineage, starting with his grandfather Archie Manning, and his two Super Bowl-winning uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning. The other part of that comes from him being one of the […]

In what has been a long and boring MLB offseason, Blake Snell is perhaps one of the catalysts for that. The free agent was one of the hottest names to hit the market once the 2023 season ended, which should have made for an exciting offseason. Yet, here we are, just weeks away from the […]

The 2024 NFL Combine is now over, so it’s time to look at who could have made potential leaps in their 2024 NFL Draft stock with the event coming up in early April. In this case, we’re looking at the tight end position. If you’re looking for quarterbacks, wide receivers, and even some edge rushers, […]
