The Oakland Raiders continue to hire NFL media with the team bringing in draft guru Nolan Nawrocki who used to work for Pro Football Weekly.

The Madden video game is notoriously rough on rookies when the initial ratings come out. So when Browns punter Britton Colquitt was filmed having rookie cornerback Greedy Williams try to guess his own ratings, it made for some good comedy. Throughout the video, Williams wears a disappointed look as he realizes Madden’s creators are not […]

Change can bring new beginnings for teams as well as players.

We’re in the middle of the NFL’s dead period, that awkward time on the league calendar between minicamps and training camp.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has a bone to pick with the NFL on multiple fronts. The speedster was crowned the winner of the 40 Yards of Gold event.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning shared some fond memories of the late Jared Lorenzen who died Wednesday. Both came to the Giants in 2004, but took quite the different path to get there. Manning was the first overall pick and traded from the then-San Diego Chargers, while Lorenzen was an undrafted free agent who […]

The New England Patriots may be coming off of a Super Bowl title, but that does not mean success is guaranteed for 2019.

The New York Giants are coming off of a rough 2018 campaign in which they won just five games, and heading into 2019, it doesn’t look like the Giants will be that much better. By drafting quarterback Daniel Jones, it’s clear that New York is ready to rebuild and begin a new era, and it’s […]

Dez Bryant has spent most of his career as a mortal enemy of the New York Giants, but could he now become a Giants ally? Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report thinks so.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has experienced quite an eventful offseason. Fortunately, it appears he is faster and stronger than ever going into the 2019 NFL season.

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won 10 games and made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, where they ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. But going in 2019, the Colts are a trendy Super Bowl pick in the AFC, and with Andrew Luck under […]

The first two seasons of DeShone Kizer’s NFL career have not exactly gone according to plan. Kizer, who played his collegiate football at the University of Notre Dame, was originally selected by the Cleveland Browns in the second round (52nd pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He went on to start 15 games for […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown has given people a lot of reasons to believe he isn’t the best teammate, but he appears to be hard at work in changing that notion.

Former New York Giants quarterback Jared Lorenzen passed away on Wednesday at the age of 38 years old, his mother told Russ Dinallo of E:60 in a text.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have their No. 1 back in James Conner, but that did not step them from adding some depth in the NFL Draft, selecting Kentucky’s Benny Snell in the fourth round. Snell is not only set to become a key cog in the Steelers’ backfield, but he is also setting out to […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of an incredibly disappointing 2018 campaign in which they won just five games, one year after making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game.

Linebacker Shaq Thompson has been waiting patiently since being drafted in 2015 for his chance to take the reigns as a full-time starter for the Carolina Panthers.

The Kansas City Chiefs won 12 games and captured the AFC West division title this past season, making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game before ultimately falling to the New England Patriots.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr did not have his finest hour in 2018, throwing for 4,049 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while the Raiders won just four games. In Carr’s defense, the entire Oakland team was awful this past season, and Carr getting sacked 51 times while sitting behind a horrific offensive line did […]

Rob Gronkowski made a pretty shocking announcement when he retired after winning another Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. The 30-year-old tight end is still in his prime and definitely had quite a few years left of great football in him. Many believed it would be something that he reversed course on in a […]

The Green Bay Packers are coming off of a massive offseason that saw general manager Brian Gutekunst spend more money in free agency than the franchise has spent in a long time. It was obvious that the Packers are done losing after missing the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Aaron Rodgers isn’t […]

A lot of people weren’t that thrilled when the New York Giants selected Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Many believed he wasn’t the best quarterback available and that there were simply too many question marks in his game. However, when the Madden 20 rookie ratings came out, it […]

Going into 2019, we know that Andrew Luck and Drew Brees are two of the league’s elite quarterbacks, and I don’t think anyone is going to dispute that. Both guys put up big numbers and both of their respective teams should be in the running for a Super Bowl this year largely because of them. […]

Simply put, the New York Giants weren’t good last season. They went 5-11, good enough for last place in the NFC East and the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Of course, one of the bigger headlines of the offseason for them was then that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was shipped off to […]

Shaq Thompson is not exactly a household name, but the linebacker has been a regular on the Carolina Panthers defense since 2015, and just because he is not very well-known does not mean he is not appreciated. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera loves having Thompson around, praising his versatility: “One of the things we’ve seen […]

Dallas Cowboys superstar Ezekiel Elliott won’t be suspended after being briefly detained by police at a Las Vegas music festival in May, the league office announced on Wednesday. After the NFL conducted an investigation into the matter and Roger Goodell met with Elliott in New York earlier this week, the commissioner decided that the Cowboys’ […]

Ryan Shazier didn’t play in 2018. He’s not going to play in 2019 either. In fact, there’s a strong chance he never plays football again due to a spinal injury. Despite that, Shazier’s been adamant that he’ll play again. He also hasn’t seemed to lose faith in the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to Simon Chester of […]

Another franchise legend may follow the lead of tight end Jason Witten by returning to the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately for defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, though, DeMarcus Ware’ potential reunion with the Cowboys would come on the sidelines rather than the playing field. The future Hall of Famer recently told the team’s website that he’d be […]

Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden has plenty of confidence in Derek Carr. Gruden’s first season back on the sidelines didn’t go as planned, and the Raiders finished 4-12. They came in last place in the AFC West in an extremely disappointing campaign. This is the team’s last season in Oakland before they move to Las […]

There were a lot of questions last season about Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and the relationship with his coach Jon Gruden. There were rumblings that the two didn’t get along very well and many believed the team would actually move on from him this off-season. After not drafting a quarterback it’s Carr’s job for […]

San Francisco 49ers wideout Marquise Goodwin may be getting a nice payday for winning Saturday’s “40 yards of Gold” competition, but he’ll have to wait a bit longer for the money. Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com reports that event organizers have instructed competitors not to try to cash their checks until Friday, July 5. Per Kaplan, […]

Although the Gren Bay Packers may have undergone some significant changes this offseason, expectations are still as high as ever going into the 2019 NFL season. It seems quarterback Aaron Rodgers has an idea of what he will be looking for from his receiving corps. There is plenty of speculation regarding some of the changes […]

While the headline news surrounding the Titans this year will be the improvement (or lack thereof) of quarterback Marcus Mariota, getting the best out of the team’s skill position playmakers will be an important subplot to those stories. Whether Mariota does enough to prove his worth as a franchise quarterback this season will be largely […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster watches a lot of film of other receivers in the league and one guy he keeps a keen eye on is Green Bay Packers star, Davante Adams. Smith-Schuster is over in London being an ambassador for the NFL and took questions from young men participating in his camp. Smith-Schuster […]

A year ago around this time, Tony Romo was high on the Packers, saying they “Got better more than any team I saw this offseason” and predicted the team would be a force in the playoff picture. As anyone who follows the Packers knows, that’s not how it turned out. Following a dramatic 24-23 season-opening […]
