The Cleveland Browns seem to be heading in the right direction. A good portion of the credit deserves to go to Baker Mayfield—who PFF (Pro Football Focus) just put an interesting statistic out on. According to PFF, Mayfield had a grade of 97.5 on deep passes in his rookie season last year. That grade ranked […]

What a difference a year makes – just ask Eric Ebron. Before last season, the 2014 first-round pick was mostly known for being a cautionary tale about drafting tight ends in the top-10. Many Detroit Lions fans, for instance, blanched at their team selecting Iowa T.J. Hockenson with the eighth overall pick in this year’s […]

DeSean Jackson, occasionally criticized for a supposed lack of maturity during his first stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, is already proving that won’t be a problem this time around. During an appearance on SportsRadio 94WIP on Tuesday, Eagles vice president of football operations Howie Roseman noted that the veteran wide receiver’s off-the-field life seems to […]

The Dallas Cowboys reached an agreement on a long-term deal with defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence earlier this offseason, but that is far from the last contract they are going to have to hand out. The Cowboys especially have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball, as quarterback Dak Prescott, […]

With star quarterback Aaron Rodgers turning 36 next season, the championship window for the Green Bay Packers is rapidly closing. After an active free agency period and a strong Draft, the Packers will expect to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders in 2019, and they must make each of their roster spots count. Here are five […]

The Minnesota Vikings fielded calls during the NFL Draft for tight end Kyle Rudolph and although it’s unclear if one of the teams calling was the New England Patriots.

The free agent market might heat up again on Wednesday, and CBS Sports has predicted that Jamie Collins could be one of the players signed soon by the Kansas City Chiefs. After Wednesday, any player signed doesn’t count towards the compensatory picks that other teams could receive, so teams don’t have to worry about losing […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been under harsh criticism not only for his leadership ability, but also for what some have considered a lackluster 2018 campaign. Still, it’s hard to consider a season where he threw for 4,442 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just two interceptions while completing 62.3 percent of his passes and […]

The New England Patriots have been looking for depth on the offensive line, and it seems like they have found their guy in Jared Veldheer.

The New York Jets may very well have a bright future. Rising sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold, while hardly spectacular, still showed flashes of immense promise as a rookie, and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, has the makings of a multi-year all-pro. With organizational building blocks on […]

The Dallas Cowboys offensive line looks to be getting a good boost back this year with center Travis Frederick coming back, and so far in offseason training, he has looked really good. Last season Frederick missed the entire year recovering from Guillain-Barre syndrome which is a disease that attacks the nervous system. Even while missing […]

The Baltimore Ravens added a big piece to their ground attack this offseason, signing former New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram. Thanks largely to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who rushed for 695 yards himself, the Ravens boasted the second-best rushing offense in the NFL this past season, and Ingram should only add to that. We […]

Another small school player is going to get a chance in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs signed James Madison running back Marcus Marshall on Monday after he attended the team’s rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJJinUFZCY/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=1wvvstm38wre Marshall started his career with Georgia Tech and ran for over 1,200 yards in two seasons before […]

For the first time in 23 years, the New England Patriots used a first-round pick on a wide receiver, taking Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry with the 32nd overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. Everyone knew that receiver was a major need of the Patriots going into the draft, so their decision to go with […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul suffered what is potentially a season-ending neck injury during a car accident last week in Florida, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter adds that Pierre-Paul will visit neck specialists this week to see if there is any hope of him playing in 2019. Pierre-Paul is coming off […]

Free-agent offensive lineman Richie Incognito visited with the Oakland Raiders on Monday, but he left without a deal, according to Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has taken his fair share of lumps this offseason, with many fans, media members and former teammates criticizing his leadership ability. The Steelers did clear the locker room of a guy who was a rather big problem in wide receiver Antonio Brown, and with running back Le’Veon Bell signing with […]

It’s not every day a pro athlete or former pro athlete opens up about an addiction issue, but in New York Jets Hall of Famer Joe Namath’s book, “All the Way: My Life in Four Quarters,” Namath admits that drinking almost killed him. Namath said he drank because a voice in his head told him […]

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence got paid this offseason, landing a five-year, $105 million contract extension that will keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future. While Lawrence certainly earned the deal with his spectacular play over the last couple of seasons, former Cowboys pass rusher DeMarcus Ware says that Lawrence needs to be […]

Every year it seems like a few players that aren’t expected to be cut end up being released before the regular season, and it will probably be no different this year for the Dallas Cowboys. So which guys will be a surprise cut on cutdown day? Let’s breakdown some players who might not make this […]

Houston Texans star defensive lineman J.J. Watt was finally able to return to the field in 2018 after missing nearly two full seasons due to back and leg injuries in 2016 and 2017, which makes you wonder just how much time he has left. He is just 30 years old, but football takes a toll […]

Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb have been extremely close since Cobb was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2011 and Rodgers knows that he is going to be miss Cobb. Rodgers was at a Kentucky Derby event over the weekend and said that he is going to miss having Cobb on the field, but […]

There is a whole lot of hype surrounding the Cleveland Browns heading into 2019, and for good reason (who ever thought we would be saying that?). The Browns’ offense is headlined by second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield, last year’s No. 1 pick who had a phenomenal rookie season. Not only that, but Cleveland had a monster […]

The Big Apple seems a perfect place for a guy with the personality like Odell Beckham Jr., but evidently, it wasn’t and he admits he wasn’t very happy with the New York Giants. At first, after being traded to the Cleveland Browns, Beckham was a bit shocked, but now says he is in the happiest […]

With the New York Giants selecting Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick, it could spell the end of backup quarterback Kyle Lauletta’s time with the team. Dave Gettleman and the Giants took Lauletta with a fourth-round pick last year, but he still looks like the odd guy out even though he has only been […]

The Philadelphia Eagles recently exercised their fifth-year option on quarterback Carson Wentz in a move that came as a shock to no one, despite Wentz’s injury history and the fact the option is guaranteed for injury. Given Wentz’s back-to-back season-ending injuries, that’s not a minor consideration and his durability is something that surely will — […]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made it clear many times that Dak Prescott was going to be the teams quarterback for many years to come and he reassured those beliefs on Monday.

Moss was the Packers’ linebackers coach the last 13 seasons but was fired in December after the team parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. […]

For the first time since 2015, Nick Foles will open the season as a starting quarterback. Sounds weird, right? Yes, Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl title during the 2017 campaign. And yes, he led them to another playoff win this past season, but Foles doesn’t actually have a huge […]

To fit into the San Francisco 49ers’ locker room, all Nick Bosa has to do is make good on the promise of his talent.

Critics say Bosa had been writing […]

Few rookies will have more pressure to produce immediately than Kansas City Chiefs receiver Mecole Hardman. The former Georgia Bulldog speedster likely will step into a vacated spot on the roster left by Tyreek Hill, and will be expected to pick up at least a portion of Hill’s production. Kansas City finally got its prized […]

The New England Patriots have won two of the last three and three of the last five Super Bowls without the help of veteran defensive end Michael Bennett.
