Things keep getting worse for Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison. Just days after the Luka Doncic trade, the Los Angeles Lakers made a deal to get Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams using several of the trade pieces that many fans think Harrison should have brought to Dallas in return for one of the game’s […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are open to moving Brandon Ingram at the NBA trade deadline, and the Toronto Raptors are interested. So where are we with this potential trade? The latest update is that the Raptors may be interested, and the Pelicans may like what they would potentially get in return, but the truth is, […]

Superstar pass-rusher Myles Garrett has officially handed in his trade request to the Cleveland Browns. Now, teams around the NFL will line up for a chance to bring in one of the biggest defensive difference-makers in the league. One team that will be at the front of that line is the Detroit Lions, who must […]

If you were one of the countless NBA fans who thought that the Luka Doncic trade that went done late Saturday night/Sunday morning was a joke, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka thought when Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison broached the subject with him. Brad Townsend of the […]

Tee Higgins is arguably the most impactful player available in 2025 NFL free agency and will have more than a half-dozen available landing spots. But just because a team wants a playmaking wideout doesn’t mean that it makes sense for Higgins. So, of all the teams that may be in the Tee Higgins sweepstakes, here […]

Russell Wilson his 2025 NFL free agency as one of the more intriguing quarterbacks on the market. He will be by far the most accomplished, and he showed enough this season with the Pittsburgh Steelers to show that he isn’t as cooked as he looked with the Denver Broncos. So, where should the Super Bowl-winning […]

The Buffalo Bills lost yet another heartbreaker in the playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs, and now face an offseason where changes must be made. While the powers that be in Western New York should focus on finding a new head coach, that’s unlikely to happen. So, with the roster guaranteed to change at least […]

The New England Patriots head into the NFL offseason with two things that every organization wants: A franchise quarterback and a proven head coach. It’s been a few years since the Pats have had either of these things, so the team and the fanbase is justifiably fired up with Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel in […]

Unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills can’t select a new head coach in the 2025 NFL Draft, so they will just have to settle on one of these three targets with the No. 30 pick. After the team’s season ended in utter devastation at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs once again, the franchise has to […]

It happened again. The Buffalo Bills had a chance to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs and they blew it, losing 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game. It is a gut-punch to Bills Mafia, but also a feeling they know all too well. Now the fanbase and the team must pick themselves up […]

Fot the five-year anniversary of Kobe and Giana “Gigi” Bryant’s death in a tragic helicopter accident on Jan. 26, 2020, the Hall of Famer’s former team, the Los Angeles Lakers posted a sweet picture of Kobe and his daughter with a message that echoed the thoughts of many fans on this day: “Always in our […]

Could the Los Angeles Rams make a Matthew Stafford or Cooper Kupp trade this offseason? The latest comments from general manager Les Snead have done nothing to poor cold water on these rumors. In fact, his latest comments seem to put it out there that the team could be open for business when it comes […]

The NFL Conference Championship is here. In the AFC Championship, it is once again the Buffalo Bills at the Kansas City Chiefs, while we have an NFC East battle in that championship game, with the upstart Washington Commanders playing the Philadelphia Eagles for the third time this season. This is a bittersweet week as we […]

The Buffalo Bills are getting ready to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game hoping to better their 0-3 playoff record against Patrick Mahomes and company. To do this, Josh Allen has to continue to play at an MVP level and be the better quarterback in this game. The good news […]

The Cleveland Browns have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which means they can go in pretty much any direction they want to improve the team. That’s good, because the Browns were terrible in 2024, going 3-14 to earn this draft spot. So, who should Cleveland take? Here are three early […]

The New York Giants are trying to fill out their coaching staff for 2025 and they have found an accomplished defensive backs coach on the other side of their building. New York Jets safeties coach and former Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel will be taking over the DB room next season. “The Giants are […]

The College Football Playoff National Championship game is here, and the NFL Playoffs are down to their final four. That means it is now the best time of the year… 2025 NFL Draft season! And what’s the best part of draft season? Well, it’s NFL mock drafts, of course. There is still a long way […]

The Carolina Panthers once again have a franchise quarterback prospect after Bryce Young’s sophomore resurgence, which means they need to build around him on offense. And that’s exactly what the Panthers are predicted to do in the latest 2025 NFL mock draft by Fox Sports’ Jason McIntyre. While he admits that there are major defensive […]

The Seattle Seahawks pick 18th in the 2025 NFL Draft, meaning they are likely 15 to 16 spots away from getting one of the two first-round quarterbacks (Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders). However, if another QB prospect jumps into Round 1 during the pre-draft process, could Seattle take their long-term Geno Smith replacement? […]

The Las Vegas Raiders desperately need a quarterback, but most 2025 NFL mock drafts have the top-two signal-callers coming off the board well before the Silver and Black pick at No. 6. However, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler predicts that Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders will be there for the taking at six. “There are a ton […]

The NFL Divisional Round is upon us, and while that means there should be four great games on the docket, it also means we are down to just seven games left in the NFL season. While the thought of no pro football until September is a sad one, we still have a few more weeks […]

Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland has signed a contract extension to stay on the blue side of Manchester for the better part of the next decade, with one of the biggest deals in sports history. The record-setting goal-scorer inked a nine-and-a-half-year pact with City that, while the final numbers are not yet disclosed, sources […]

The Green Bay Packers lost 22-10 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wild Card round and Packers quarterback Jordan Love struggled, going 22-of-33 for just 212 yards with three interceptions. However, after the game, he didn’t use his injured right elbow as an excuse. “Jordan Love on his right elbow: ‘Didn’t affect me,’” The […]

Robert Kraft is officially hiring Mike Vrabel as the next New England Patriots head coach. The former linebacker played eight of his 14 NFL seasons in Massachusetts, so the hiring makes sense. That said, the team seems to have blatantly flouted the Rooney Rule in order to get its man, and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator […]

The Los Angeles Chargers came into their AFC Wild Card matchup with the Houston Texans as 2.5-point favorites. They walked out of that game as 32-12 losers with massive questions surrounding the future of the franchise. So, who is to blame for the ugly Chargers loss to the Texans in the playoffs? With a massive […]

Technically, Week 18 brought us the first NFL football in 2025, but with so many games either meaningless and/or uncompetitive, it almost seems like we took a week off. Well, it’s the playoffs now, and we are so back! There is a great slate of games ahead of us, so, without further ado, let’s jump […]

Geno Smith nearly led the Seattle Seahawks to the playoffs this season going 10-7 and narrowly missing out on winning the NFC West. The team lost out on tie-breakers to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite wrapping up the season earlier than hoped, Smith had a good season personally and made himself $6 million richer in […]

Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will officially interview to become the next New York Jets head coach. The former Miami Dolphins HC is expected to take several interviews during this hiring cycle, while the Jets have already interviewed or scheduled interviews with a few candidates with more to come. “Jets have requested head coaching […]

The Dallas Cowboys will finish the 2024 NFL season either 8-9 or 7-10, meaning they could pick as high as No. 11 or as low as No. 17 in the 2025 NFL Draft. When Week 18 shakes out, though, it will likely end with Big D somewhere in the 12-14 range. With that selection, Dallas […]

The New York Jets’ season is an unmitigated disaster and the trade the brought Aaron Rodgers to the Big Apple is a massive failure. These are the facts of the case, and they are undisputed, as Captain Jack Ross would say. Now the only question is, does this horrific stint hurt Rodgers’ previously-lofty NFL legacy? […]

When the Detroit Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, there is a lot on the line. The winner will get the No. 1 seed in the NFC and head out to a bye week, while the loser will head to Tampa Bay or Atlanta to play a road playoff game against the […]

Happy New Year! It’s 2025, which means an exciting and hopefully fantastic new year for all our readers, and of course, the NFL playoffs. But first, we must finish the business of the 2024 regular season which kicks off with AFC North action as the Cleveland Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati […]

The Chicago Bears need a new head coach next season and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson looks like an ideal candidate. The OC worked wonders with Jared Goff, turning him from a trade throw-in to a legit MVP candidate, and the hope is he could work the same magic with 2024 No. 1 overall […]

The Indianapolis Colts head into Week 17 against the New York Giants with an outside chance to make the playoffs thanks to the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Denver Broncos on Saturday. Indy will turn to veteran backup Joe Flacco to get the job done as starting quarterback Anthony Richardson is out with injuries. Whether Flacco […]

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings face off in a crucial Week 17 NFC North showdown as both teams vie for playoff positioning ahead of the postseason. The Packers may be shorthanded on offense, though, as it sounds like wide receiver Christian Watson will miss the game with a knee injury. “Packers WR Christian […]

The Cleveland Browns restructured the massive Deshaun Watson contract to give the franchise a little more financial flexibility moving forward. However, with a fully guaranteed deal, there was little the team could do to change the fact that they are stuck with the QB, who was not good in 2024. Long story short, the Browns […]

The Los Angeles Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 with a spot in the playoffs on the line. The clinching scenario for LA is win, and you are probably in the postseason (more on that below). That win seems like it just got a little easier for the Rams and the Cardinals’ […]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Let’s kick off the holiday season (and the NFL Week 17 slate) with two Christmas Day games as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens do battle with the Houston Texans. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the ClutchPoints NFL Week 17 […]
