Perhaps one of the biggest wild cards heading into the 2019 NFL campaign is Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

Earlier in the day on Wednesday, it was reported that the Seattle Seahawks were the favorites to sign free-agent defensive lineman Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah. Not so fast. Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has taken to 1270 The Fan to state that he thinks his team has a great shot of landing Ansah, as the […]

It seems like Brandin Cooks has finally found a home. After playing for three different teams over the last three years, it seems safe to say that the wide receiver will be playing for the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, marking the first time since 2016 that he will be starting a season with the […]

Former Washburn University cornerback Corey Ballentine went through a harrowing experience shortly after being drafted into the NFL by the New York Giants, as he and his former Huskies teammate, Dwane Simmons, were shot.

Is Green Bay Packers rookie safety Darnell Savage the best draft pick from the NFL North in 2019? Gennaro Filice of NFL.com (via 247Sports.com’s Brian Jones) certainly thinks so. He described Savage as “the total package” in his report card of the Packers’ 2019 draft class. Full disclosure: Darnell Savage was my favorite player to […]

The Cleveland Browns had an impressive draft class in 2018. With their first three draft picks, they were able to land Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, and Nick Chubb. Chubb helped lead the offense on the ground in an impressive rookie season. At the beginning of the season, Chubb was the backup to Carlos Hyde—until Hyde […]

There’s another “addition” to the Washington Redskins that people might not be thinking about as much. Brandon Scherff has been with the team since 2015, so it’s easy not to see him as an addition. However, last season he appeared in just eight games due to a torn pectoral muscle. Now, according to Kyle Stackpole […]

Skip Bayless has never been shy about his love for the Dallas Cowboys, and he thinks his favorite team will be able to work out a contract extension with Amari Cooper.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was recently seen enjoying himself at this year’s Kentucky Derby. It appears he even had time to give some advice to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo has spent the offseason nursing a torn ACL he suffered in the 2018 NFL season. According to Cam Inman of The […]

Marlon Mack was one of the most underrated running backs in football this past season, as he racked up 908 yards and nine touchdowns (in 12 games, mind you) while averaging 4.7 yards per carry living in the shadow of Andrew Luck. In the playoffs, however, Mack began to receive more attention, as his 148-yard […]

Owner Jerry Jones has spoken glowingly of Prescott, and head coach Jason Garrett has followed suit, lauding the signal-caller’s leadership abilities. “Well, […]

It didn’t take long for Deshaun Watson to establish himself as one of the top up and coming talents in the NFL, as he took the world by storm during his rookie campaign in 2017 before a torn ACL ended his season prematurely. Many expected big things from Watson in 2018, and while he certainly […]

Stephen A. Smith has always made it clear that he isn’t a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, but even he thinks that Dak Prescott deserves a lot of money in his next contract. Smith admits that he doesn’t think the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl, and a lot of that has to do with […]

The New England Patriots aren’t used to having great running backs. Sure, there was Corey Dillon, but outside of him, the Patriots haven’t really had any elite halfbacks during the Tom Brady era. But that seems to be changing. Sony Michel had a terrific rookie campaign for New England this past season, rushing for 931 […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a spectacular rookie campaign this past season, hauling in 64 receptions for 821 yards and 10 touchdowns.

According to Pro Football Talk, Peppers is getting a new title within the organization, special assistant, business operations. Panthers […]

The Los Angeles Chargers won 12 games and were one of the best teams in the NFL this past season, and much of that had to do with their lethal passing game, which was led by quarterback Philip Rivers and wide receiver Keenan Allen. When you think of the best wide outs in the NFL, […]

The Seattle Seahawks have emerged as the favorites to sign free-agent defensive lineman Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport adds that Ansah has also […]

This offseason is quite a bit different for Allen Robinson than it was a year ago, as the Chicago Bears wide receiver was still recovering from a torn ACL at the beginning of 2018.

Before the draft all the New York Giants talked about was how Eli Manning would still be the starting quarterback this upcoming season but it appears that there might be a quarterback controversy after what offensive coordinator Mike Sula said about Daniel Jones. According to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY Shula said that Jones is capable […]

Cleveland Browns general manager J0hn Dorsey started his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers being drafted by the team in 1984, but he isn’t making any friends with the team or their fan base now.

Now that the 2019 NFL Draft is complete fans will soon turn their attention to fantasy football if they haven’t done so already.

Was there anything more obvious, more predictable than the Arizona Cardinals selecting Kyler Murray first overall in the NFL Draft? Thank goodness the Cardinals are not in charge of any serious information because they are terrible at keeping secrets.  It was obvious to everyone how fond head coach Kliff Kingsbury was of Murray. It’s just […]
