The Patriots will kick off their preseason against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night as they begin their quest to win […]

The controversial non-call at the end of last year’s NFC Championship Game has been talked about endlessly for so long that seemingly everyone is growing tired of it, including the players involved like Detroit Lions newcomer, Tommylee Lewis. Lewis, of course, was the intended receiver on Drew Brees’ ill-fated pass. Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman came […]

In typical New England Patriots style, the organization has made another savvy signing. Wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who recently signed with the team, has no guaranteed money in his contract. This comes as no surprise, as it’s a classic Bill Belichick move. Base value of Cam Meredith’s deal with the Patriots: two-years, $2.02M with no […]

Important, albeit unsurprising news from the Washington Redskins. Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk has reported that presumed starter Colt McCoy will not start in Thursday’s preseason game.

There has been a lot of talk this offseason about the NFL cutting down the preseason and adding onto the regular season, but that isn’t something New York Jets coach Adam Gase is excited about.

Luckily for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have options for the backup quarterback position.

Tennessee Titans cornerback Malcolm Butler has big plans for the 2019 season.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette wasn’t a huge pass-catching threat during college or his first couple of years in the league, but coach Doug Marrone thinks it’s something that can be exploited this year in the offense. During Monday’s practice, he caught three passes out of the backfield looking very comfortable in the role, […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a lot of critics and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin isn’t quite sure why.

It seems to be a […]

All signs point towards Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz not playing in the teams first preseason game and that isn’t something he seems too worried about.

There’s clearly no love lost between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans following the teams’ pair of heated joint practices.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham knows that his stats haven’t been super impressive the last few years, but this season he is ready to “shut a lot of people up.” It’s a new system with Matt LaFleur in charge and he thinks that is going to really help out his game. Graham knows […]

Le’Veon? That doesn’t ring a bell. In 2018, the Pittsburgh Steelers faced a running back problem with their former star not playing.

[…]

The Seattle Seahawks relied on their rushing attack in 2018, led by Chris Carson. Among his top plays, Carson hurdled and flipped his body over a defender against the Carolina Panthers.
