Former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren is not a fan of how the organization has handled the Aaron Rodgers situation.

According to Holmgren, […]

The Green Bay Packers front office might have irrecoverably irked their superstar quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

The standoff between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers doesn’t seem to be nearing a peaceful resolution.

The Philadelphia Eagles jumped at the chance to draft DeVonta Smith with the No. 10 overall pick in the NFL draft. Smith thought he could go higher. Smith revealed during an interview with former Eagles defensive lineman he thought the Carolina Panthers might select him with the No. 8 overall pick. But he also knew […]

If you think the Jacksonville Jaguars got a good one in Dylan Moses, wait until you hear Nick Saban (slightly) comparing him to NFL legend Drew Brees. Wait. No. Stick around. This isn’t satire. Famously not a quarterback, Dylan Moses went undrafted in the 2021 NFL Draft, inking a deal with the Jaguars earlier in […]

The precious football from Tom Brady’s first-ever touchdown pass is set to go up for auction after being held tightly for 20 years by the respective owner.

One of the more interesting offseason moves in the NFL was the Carolina Panthers trading for  Sam Darnold from the New York Jets. Darnold was the number three overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and while he showed flashes of potential, he was primarily underwhelming in New York. The Panthers could have used their […]

33 years of age is old for an average NFL player. For a defensive back, that age is prohibitive. For a cornerback ever more so. However, former San Francisco 49ers free agent cornerback Richard Sherman is not an average cornerback. Sherman and the last team he played for, the San Francisco 49ers are reportedly in […]

When a team maintains all its starters from a championship run, the draft serves as an exercise to solely prepare for the future.

If there is one word to describe the Dallas Cowboys’ 2021 NFL draft class of freshly-minted rookies, the word would be different.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Alabama running back Najee Harris with the 24th pick in this year’s NFL draft and he will play an immediate role for the Steelers.

The Kansas City Chiefs have Travis Kelce, who, depending on who you ask, is either the best tight end in the game today — or the second. What’s not up for debate is that he is among the biggest assets that any team has. That didn’t stop the Chiefs, however, from going out of their […]

The New England Patriots are hoping that they have found a replacement with a long term answer at quarterback for Tom Brady after his departure over a year ago.

Aaron Rodgers’ standoff with the Green Bay Packers doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon, so the team has begun scouring the market for quarterbacks to add to the roster for OTAs and training camp, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

When Andrew Luck unexpectedly retired in 2019, there were doubts surrounding the Indianapolis Colts franchise.

The Buffalo Bills took a colossal step in the right direction in 2020, when they became AFC East champions for the first time in 25 years and rolled all the way to the AFC Championship game. So, the 2021 NFL Draft was less about “Oh Lord, panic mode!” and more like “Hey, why don’t you […]

The NFL was held on a pedestal in 2020 for the admirable way it conducted itself through the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 draft was hailed as a triumph and served as a symbol for the league’s ability to adapt to the times. Of course, like anything else, there were hiccups. Bye weeks […]

If you’re familiar with Aaron Rodgers and his ongoing passive-aggressive tug-of-war with the Green Bay Packers, then you are probably able to come up with a good measure of the man and the athlete.

For a Los Angeles Rams organization that has made a habit of stealing headlines through blockbuster acquisitions of well-known veterans, the NFL Draft can seem a bit anti-climatic.
