Extending Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, and Ezekiel Elliott is on the minds of Dallas Cowboys nation. Being America’s Team, it’s also on the mind of others outside of North Texas.

Even at 41 years old, Tom Brady continues to improve areas of his game and his body. That includes bulking up and getting into better shape for the New England Patriots quarterback.

A couple of offseasons can change everything in the NFL. After 2016, the Philadelphia Eagles had a problem on their hands; their receiving corps was devoid of talent. Now, in 2019, it can be dubbed as the NFL’s best, which Pro Football Focus did. PFF took a gander at each NFL team’s receiving corps and […]

Previously a gadget player with the Ohio State Buckeyes, speedster Curtis Samuel has faced a steep learning curve to transition to a full-time receiver with the Carolina Panthers. 2017 showed that, and 2018 brought progress. Despite a limited snap count in 2018, the 22-year-old produced a solid 494 yards and five touchdowns as a pass-catcher. […]

Budget-friendly airline Allegiant filed a trademark for “Allegiant Stadium” in May. Headquartered in Las Vegas, the assumption was it would be to own sponsorship of the Oakland turned Las Vegas Raiders new stadium.

Matt LaFleur has been head coach of the Green Bay Packers for six months and is yet to even coach a preseason game for the club, and yet, there has already been some drama between LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers. Well, I use the term “drama” lightly, as really, all that has gone on is Rodgers […]

The Cleveland Browns have generated plenty of hype with the influx of star power in their receiving corps. Regardless, it appears quarterback Baker Mayfield is holding every wideout to the same standard. While this group is headlined by Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, they are hoping Antonio Callaway can provide some much-needed depth. According […]

It seems like every year undrafted NFL rookies pop out of nowhere to (a) make NFL rosters and (b) thrive. Last year it was Phillip Lindsay, the year before it was Austin Ekeler, and in 2016 it was Robby Anderson. Now in 2019, there are ten (and more) offensive undrafted free agents that may follow […]

J.J. Watt and Kareem Jackson closed in, blitzing hard on a Sunday versus the Washington Redskins, and ultimately trying to sack Alex Smith. Then, matters took a turn for the worse. Smith didn’t get up, the play was replayed, and something became very clear; this wasn’t a regular sack. Smith shared the details of what […]

The Oakland Raiders made a bunch of free-agent signings and trades to bolster their roster on both sides of the ball this offseason, but one area in which the Raiders will be relying on homegrown talent is at safety.

It doesn’t matter when you’re drafted; it matters how you perform when cleats hit the gridiron. That’s all too true for Green Bay Packers cornerback Ka’Dar Hollman, who was taken in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. So far, he’s playing above his draft status. Hollman caught the eye of Packers head coach […]

The Green Bay Packers are heading into 2019 with a whole lot of uncertainty at wide receiver behind Davante Adams, so you can understand why Aaron Rodgers would strongly favor Adams as his primary target. That has been the story in training camp, as Rodgers has looked for Adams more than his other wideouts, and […]

Royce Freeman was supposed to be the Denver Broncos’ lead back in 2018. A second-round pick with an impressive frame and body of work at Oregon, that was apparent. But, then, little known undrafted and undersized Phillip Lindsay took reigns of the position, then went to the Pro-Bowl for his efforts. Following Lindsay’s breakthrough season, […]

The Green Bay Packers have been without one of their offensive playmakers during training camp.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway had a really solid rookie year in 2018, so when he is getting second and third-team reps behind even Jaelen Strong and Derrick Willies in training camp, you start to wonder what’s up. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until Strong sustained an injury in practice on Wednesday […]

Despite their disappointing 2018 campaign, the Minnesota Vikings still have high expectations going into the 2019 NFL season.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been cleared to participate in live drills in practice, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN NFL Nation. Shepard is nursing a fractured thumb, an injury he suffered during the first day of training camp last Wednesday. That was a brutal day for Giants receivers, as fellow wide […]

Iron sharpens iron. That holds especially in football, and in NFL training camps. As starters align against their teammates, new things can be found out, and games can progress. For New England Patriots All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore, that’s especially true. He gets to go up against Tom Brady and Julian Edelman, and previously, Rob Gronkowski. […]

In case you haven’t heard, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is looking for a new contract and is holding out of training camp as a result. Earlier this week, Elliott headed to Cabo to train, something Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett seems perfectly fine with: “No reaction to that,” said Garrett, according to Jon […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette isn’t famed for his work at receiver. He’s a big, bludgeoning, power back that forces defenses to stack boxes. But, that may change.

The Baltimore Ravens upgraded their safety position in a big way during the 2019 offseason. Veteran Eric Weddle was cut, somewhat surprisingly, and Earl Thomas III, a sixth-time Pro Bowler, came along to fill the void. The rest remained untouched, as Tony Jefferson starts on the strong-side. Youngsters Chuck Clark and Deshone Elliot continue to […]

With Josh Jacobs, Doug Martin, Jalen Richards, and DeAndre Washington entrenched in the Oakland Raiders’ backfield, Jon Gruden’s team looks to have a potent rushing attack. But, they aren’t resting on their laurels. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, via Twitter, the Raiders are working out free agent, 28-year-old, running back Mike Gillislee. Gillislee last […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of uncertainty in their passing game heading into 2019, but if some of their young receivers step up to help out Nick Foles, things might actually not be all that bad for the Jaguars’ aerial attack. One such receiver is DJ Chark, who is looking to bounce back after […]

The Indianapolis Colts needed some help on the defensive side of the ball this offseason, so they went out and landed former Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Justin Houston. Staying healthy has been a problem for Houston in recent years, but when he is right, he has the ability to be one of the most […]

New city, same Earl Thomas. For the 30-year-old six-time Pro Bowler, it doesn’t matter if he’s taking snaps as part of the Seattle Seahawks or Baltimore Ravens. He’s going to continue doing his thing. That showed in training camp, as he decided to ramp up his efforts, intercept a ball, then take it all the […]

Baker Mayfield’s intensely competitive nature is one of the many attributes that makes him one of the most promising young players in all of football.

The Detroit Lions passed the torch of No. 1 wide receivers from Golden Tate to Kenny Golladay in 2018.

Now as the top option for the offense, expectations are high, and he doesn’t […]

The Green Bay Packers have aspirations of defensive dominance in 2019. That’s all too apparent considering their bevy of additions, including Preston Smith, Adrian Amos, Za’Darius Smith, Rashan Gary, and Darnell Savage Jr. Smith, in particular, has been dominating in training camp. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, Smith won all three of […]

Training camp can be an odd time for NFL athletes. Take Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Tremon Smith for example, who appears to be making the switch from defense to offense, specifically running back. It looks like Tremon Smith has moved to the offense. He moves from CB to RB here at #ChiefsCamp. pic.twitter.com/1meR07Rs1k — Chiefs […]

The Cleveland Browns have made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of honoring Duke Johnson’s trade request any time soon.
