That leaks […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ 53-man roster will be tough to crack for many, especially offensive players.

The Oakland Raiders are going to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in 2019—win or lose.

It looks as though the Ezekiel Elliot contract holdout will continue. It appears the Dallas Cowboys are offering Zeke for less than he’s worth. All three offers are in the top 5 at their positions but zeke offer is more in line with Leveon Bell than Todd Gurley, which is a problem. I would be […]
