The Indianapolis Colts reviewed a Title IX case of alleged sexual assault involving 2019 draft pick Bobby Okereke during his time at Stanford, and citing the fact that Okereke was never convicted by the university, or formally charged by the authorities, the team felt comfortable taking him 89th overall in April. And that is fine. […]

The Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Carson Wentz to a four-year, $128 million contract extension on Thursday night, keeping him in Philadelphia through 2024.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has plenty of experience in the NFL, but he’s having to learn a new offense just like his rookie teammates this year.

Jimmy Garoppolo entered the 2018 campaign as a full-time starter under center for the first time in his NFL career, but his dream season did not last very long, as he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 and was knocked out for the remainder of the year. While Garoppolo isn’t ready to play just […]

The saga of Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive Jason Pierre-Paul has been one for the ages this offseason. After being involved in a car crash on May 2, it originally appeared the defensive end wouldn’t miss much time while recovering. Then, he needed surgery. Then he didn’t. Then, well, I guess we still don’t know. The Buccaneers […]

The Seattle Seahawks are entering the 2019 campaign with a very thin receiving corps. Other than Tyler Lockett, there is not much to talk about when it comes to the Seahawks’ wide receivers.

The Chargers had a bit of a resurgence in 2018. The team won more than nine games (12-4) for the first time since 2009 and made their first postseason appearance since 2013. For all that success, though, the Chargers were rewarded with only a second-place finish in the AFC West as the Chiefs and quarterback […]

Perhaps in a gesture of good faith to his team, rookie coach Brian Flores cancelled the final practice of Miami Dolphins minicamp on Thursday.

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Dolphins punted […]

The Minnesota Vikings fell vastly short of expectations in the 2018 NFL season. It appears their only concern at this point is making sure quarterback Kirk Cousins can improve moving forward.

Jordan Taylor is currently playing as the Minnesota Vikings’ No. 3 wideout. The Athletic’s Arif Hassan reported on the development on June 5.

Oakland Raiders rookie safety Johnathan Abram is already living up to expectations. This was what Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther told Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal (via Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams) on June 6. He’s smart. He’s real smart. From a rookie player, with all the stuff safeties have to know, he’s […]

The biggest opportunity of Jaron Brown’s career is finally here.

According to Curtis Crabtree of […]

The New England Patriots finally have a running back who’s a fixture of the team’s immediate present and long-term future.

At the University of Michigan, Chase Winovich was almost as well-known for a proclivity for headline-making soundbites as any of his stellar exploits on the football field.
