The 2022 NFL season is a make-or-break year for New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. The team didn’t pick up the 2019 first-round pick’s fifth-year option, so unless he has an outstanding season under center, he will likely be a free agent in 2023. With all this pressure, reports out of Giants training camp aren’t […]

The Baltimore Ravens’ struggles last season were largely due to one factor: injuries. The Ravens’ roster was one of the most injured in the league, and many key players barely saw the field.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is coming off a terrific rookie season where he put the league on notice.

The Cleveland Browns are solid this coming season. They have the depth and a high-quality QB1 to be even more competitive than they were in 2021. At the center of it all is embattled quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson is good enough to be among the top five maybe even top three QBs in the NFL. […]

The Buffalo Bills entered the 2022 offseason as one of the deepest and most complete teams in the NFL.

There’s a lot of intrigue surrounding the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the new season.

The NFL’s preseason is set to begin Thursday night. Well, ok, there was the Hall of Fame game between the Raiders and Jaguars last week, but does that really count?

Brandon Aiyuk is undoubtedly a major playmaker for a San Francisco 49ers offense that consistently finds ways to move the ball and score lots of points.
