With the new league year right around the corner, the Antonio Brown sweepstakes are heating up. One team who seems to be disinterested in the disgruntled wide receiver is the Denver Broncos. Despite multiple reports that the Broncos were interested, Mike Klis shot those reports down. https://twitter.com/MikeKlis/status/1102651682004107265 This shouldn’t come as a surprise to Broncos […]

Fletcher Cox is on the road toward recovery. After video surfaced over the weekend of the Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman riding a push scooter, ESPN’s Tim McManus reports that Cox underwent surgery on his right foot earlier this offseason and is currently going through the process of a successful recovery. Eagles DT Fletcher Cox had […]

Ole Miss wide receiver DK Metcalf wowed scouts, fans, and media alike at his NFL Combine showing, posting some impressive numbers while looking every bit as freakish as his early photos showed. Now, he’s begun teasing where he’d like to play, and it’s alongside another electric young quarterback. Speaking to the media during his press […]

Devin White is a freak. The likely top-10 pick in next month’s draft wowed the football world at the NFL combine over the weekend, posting a 4.42 40-yard dash and 39 and-a-half inch vertical jump, solidifying his place as the top inside linebacker in the 2019 class. The LSU product’s success on the field is […]

The Los Angeles Rams, at least for now, have decided against using the franchise tag on edge rusher Dante Fowler or any other player, general manager Les Snead said on Monday, per ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry. Still, that hardly means the team has plans to move on from the promising former top-five pick. Four days before […]

The Miami Dolphins have officially begun gauging the trade market for Ryan Tannehill. What they might be able to fetch in a deal for the veteran quarterback, though, remains to be seen. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Miami has reached out to the Washington Redskins to assess their interest in trading for […]

As NFL teams begin to solidify their draft board and look towards free agency, one member of the Oakland Raiders has already begun petitioning his team to try and draft one of this weekends biggest combine stars. Coming into the combine, LSU linebacker Devin White was viewed as high tier prospect, his standout performance at […]

Jadeveon Clowney’s long-term future is still uncertain. Next season, though, the star defender will almost surely remain with the Houston Texans. The team announced on Monday that it has placed the franchise tag on Clowney, with the hope of inking him to a multi-year contract before 2019. “Today, we have placed the franchise tag on […]

Jon Gruden’s first NFL season in over a decade didn’t exactly go as planned. The Oakland Raiders went just 4-12 in 2018, a depressing record that nevertheless fails to convey the organizational upheaval his return to the sideline prompted. Gruden traded superstar pass-rusher Khalil Mack and former top-five pick Amari Cooper during the season, both […]

The Carolina Panthers have signed linebacker Jared Norris to a two-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Norris played in just three games this past season after suffering a toe injury that landed him on the injured reserve list. He logged just one tackle when he was on the field. The 25-year-old, who […]

It appears that Davon House’s second stint with the Green Bay Packers has come to an end. According to Tom Silverstein of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers do not have any interest in re-signing the cornerback, who played in just three games this past season due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. House […]

The Washington Redskins’ quarterback situation is in flux. With Alex Smith likely out for next season due to a gruesome broken leg injury he suffered back in Week 11 of the 2018 campaign, the Redskins’ starting signal-caller is currently Colt McCoy. That’s probably not going to get the job done. NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks […]

The Oakland Raiders have said that they are committed to Derek Carr as their starting quarterback heading into next season, but Peter King of NBC Sports is reporting that Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is very interested in University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray. There was some speculation earlier on the offseason that Oakland, which […]

The Tennessee Titans are expected to release safety Johnathan Cyprien sometime this week, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. However, this does not mean that the Titans are parting ways with Cyprien for good, as Schefter adds that Tennessee would like him back on a cheaper deal. Cyprien did not play at all this past […]

While some felt that trading Antonio Brown could potentially be a long, drawn-out process for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it turns out that that may not end up being the case. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Steelers have garnered enough interest in the disgruntled wide receiver to trade him before March 17. Rapoport […]

The Houston Texans hope to re-sign safety Tyrann Mathieu this offseason, according to Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle. Wilson states that nothing is imminent but that Mathieu figures to receive a “highly competitive” salary. Mathieu just played out a one-year, $7 million deal with the Texans in which he played in all 16 games […]

It looks like Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell could remain teammates after all. Just not on the Pittsburgh Steelers. This past weekend, a report surfaced from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Oakland Raiders are one of the three teams that are most likely to land Brown in a trade with the Steelers this offseason. Peter […]

The New York Giants are in need of a quarterback to succeed the aging Eli Manning, and with the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft next month, most feel that the Giants will, in fact, take a signal-caller. Ohio State University quarterback and New Jersey native Dwayne Haskins seems to be at the top […]

The New York Jets were considered to be one of the top potential destinations for running back Le’Veon Bell in free agency this offseason, but it looks like Bell won’t be playing for Gang Green in 2019 after all. According to NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline, the Jets don’t appear to have all that much […]

The New York Giants are insisting that they are not going to trade wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., but the rumors just won’t go away. The latest report is that people around the NFL do believe there is a chance Beckham gets dealt, and if that does end up occurring, the San Francisco 49ers may […]

The Arizona Cardinals’ interest in University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has led many to believe that they could end up trading 2018 first-round draft pick Josh Rosen to clear room for him. However, if the Cardinals do end up dealing Rosen, they may not end up getting the value for which they are hoping. […]

The Oakland Raiders are considered one of the top potential destinations for Antonio Brown, and Peter King of NBC Sports thinks they make the most sense for the disgruntled Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. A report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter surfaced on Monday which stated that the Raiders, Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans represented the most […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Donovan Smith could become an unrestricted free agent this month, but it seems like the Buccaneers are not going to allow that to happen. According to Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay will place a franchise tag on Smith before the March 5 deadline. However, this does […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have no shortage of options in free agency, but perhaps their best bet is someone they haven’t considered before: Jay Ajayi. There are a number of reasons why Ajayi — the impending free agent running back for the Philadelphia Eagles — is a good contender for the Steelers once he enters free […]

The Green Bay Packers are looking to bring back safety Ibraheim Campbell, according to Tom Silverstein of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Packers acquired Campbell off of waivers in early November. He went on to play just three games for the team, registering 18 tackles and a forced fumble. Silverstein also revealed that during Green […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have made it clear that they are committed to Carson Wentz as their long-term quarterback, but that does not mean the Eagles are prepared to give him a contract extension. According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, it is “unlikely” that Philadelphia comes to terms with Wentz on a new deal […]

The Denver Broncos are converting cornerback Brendan Langley to wide receiver, according to NFL reporter Ron Clements. Or, should we say the Broncos are moving Langley back to wide receiver? Langley actually played wide out in both high school and college, so this would be nothing new for him. Plus, it’s not like Langley has […]

New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins may begin the 2019 campaign on the physically unable to perform list, according to Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate. Rankins tore his Achilles during the Saints’ Divisional Round playoff win over the Philadelphia Eagles back in mid-January and could take as many as 10 months to […]

Earlier in the offseason, Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said that one of the team’s top priorities was agreeing to a new contract with wide receiver Julio Jones, but, thus far, talks on that front have been quiet. According to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, there is not much going on between the Falcons and […]

Ohio State University defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones is expected to be a first-round pick at the NFL Draft next month, but he may not end up playing for his favorite team. A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, Jones understands that the chances of him actually playing for Cleveland are slim and, as a result, realizes that […]

There had been some talk about the Green Bay Packers representing a potential landing spot for disgruntled Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, but it doesn’t look like that is going to come to fruition. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins, and Tennessee Titans represent the most likely landing spots […]

Former Chicago Bears head coach and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marc Trestman is known best for his time north of the border as a member of the Canadian Football League (CFL). However, it appears as though Trestman will be heading to yet another league sometime in the near future and it is neither the CFL nor […]

Unless the New England Patriots are able to re-sign him, it appears as though veteran defensive end Trey Flowers will be playing his professional football somewhere other than Massachusetts next season. Slated to become an unrestricted free agent over the summer, Flowers is reportedly recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. However, according to a report from Mike […]

Former Mississippi State Bulldogs pass rusher and current 2019 NFL Draft prospect Montez Sweat impressed throughout the 2018 college football season. The up-and-coming defender hasn’t slowed down at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine. Anything but. Sweat has already set a new modern record for the fastest 40-yard dash time for a defensive lineman. On Sunday, […]

One would think most NFL teams would be extra nice to a guy with the last name “Polite.” However, this does not appear to be the case for the San Francisco 49ers, who were apparently less than gracious during the team’s recent NFL Scouting Combine sitdown with former Florida Gators pass rusher and current 2019 […]

With the NFL Combine kicking off this week, the 2019 NFL Draft is right around the corner. The Los Angeles Rams hold the 31st pick, the next to last selection in the first round of the draft. Many have come up with mock drafts for the Rams where they stay put and use the 31st […]

The Denver Broncos did not reach the postseason as a result of the 2018-19 campaign. However, the AFC West franchise has already gotten off to a red-hot start this offseason upon acquiring former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. With Flacco now slated to serve as the Broncos quarterback for at least the 2019-20 season, the […]

The Oakland Raiders infamously traded away current Chicago Bears pass rusher Khalil Mack last offseason, leaving the struggling AFC West franchise with minimal wiggle room up front on defense. However, that could all change come the 2019 NFL Draft as former Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman and current draft prospect Quinnen Williams might be available […]

Although the NFL Scouting Combine gives players the opportunity increase their draft stock each year, the annual event always brings along some trimuph as well. This time around, former Ohio State Buckeyes cornerback and current 2019 NFL Draft prospect Kendall Sheffield suffered what appears to be a significant pectoral injury during his bench pressing session.
