The Minnesota Vikings were expected to do big things with big-money quarterback Kirk Cousins in 2018. However, Cousins was unable to lead Minnesota back to the postseason while the Vikings ultimately found themselves way behind the surging Chicago Bears, who went on to win the NFC North division. With the 2019-20 offseason already in full […]

Earlier in the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers appeared to have a blessing placed in front of them. It looked as if the Arizona Cardinals were going to make a surprise play for Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray at quarterback instead of going after the best player available. In turn, the best possible (Nick Bosa) will go […]

Aerial attacks are becoming more prevalent in the NFL, and defenses are responding by using three linebackers less and less, opting instead to use an extra safety to defend the pass. Safeties must be versatile, able to cover receivers and tight ends as well as provide support against the run. It’s why many will target […]

Heisman Trophy winner and 2019 NFL Draft prospect Kyler Murray continues to improve his stock, but he won’t play for the Washington Redskins. Whether he is selected by the Arizona Cardinals or another quarterback-needy team trades up to snag him, it appears as though the Redskins won’t be on Murray’s radar in late April. According […]

The Minnesota Vikings struggled as a result of the 2018-19 campaign, which came as a surprise to many.

The Dallas Cowboys are fortunate enough to have a very young roster at the moment, one filled with superb players. However, that also means that the heralded NFC East franchise must sign some of their more talented players to long-term contract extensions sooner rather than later — quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper […]

The Denver Broncos made a few major splashes this offseason while most notably acquiring veteran quarterback Joe Flacco from the Baltimore Ravens. Leading to such a decision, the Broncos previously turned to another veteran quarterback in Case Keenum ahead of last season — a decision that ultimately did not work out well and caused Denver […]

The New England Patriots are coming off of yet another Super Bowl title, which should be reason enough to celebrate these days.

The San Francisco 49ers are in the market for a playmaker at wide receiver. They were major players in the Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes, and clearly understand the need to find an upgrade at a position that they are now unlikely to target until day two of the draft. With their top pick set to […]

Benjamin Franklin was credited for saying, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” And you can also include Eli Manning starting at quarterback for the New York Giants to that proverb. Manning is heading into his 16th season as the starting quarterback of the Giants. The only difference […]

With the NFL becoming more and more focused on throwing the football, every defense needs solid cornerbacks, and having just one won’t do. There are so many different types of wide receivers, all with different skill sets and different ways they can beat coverage. Corners have to be versatile in how they defend the pass, […]

Every year, NFL pundits say the Green Bay Packers must address the wide receiver position, whether in free agency or the NFL Draft. With two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, now might seem like the perfect time, but the Packers taking a receiver early is no sure thing. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of two teams expected to compete for an NFC East crown come the 2019 season, with the rival Dallas Cowboys prime to find at least some success as well. However, if the Eagles are going to return to the postseason for the third consecutive year, Philadelphia will surely need the […]

The Washington Redskins will have former Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum under center for the 2019-20 campaign as it stands today.

[…]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles has no plans to trash talk his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, when they match up in Week 2 of the preseason. “That’s not really my style,” Foles said with a laugh (via the Jaguars website). “And they know that as well.

The 2018 season was a rough one all around for the Minnesota Vikings. Kirk Cousins and the offense didn’t look anywhere near as good as people were expecting in Cousins’ first year under center, and the defense took a step back from their previous elite level. The Vikings surprisingly missed the playoffs, and they’ll need […]

It’s been a hectic week for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

The New England Patriots are known for signing or acquiring veteran players and helping them revitalize their careers in the latter stages.

Jimmy Garoppolo was expected to break out with a huge season in 2018 for the San Francisco 49ers and possibly even take them back to the playoffs.

As per usual, the New England Patriots know what they’re doing. The team just signed receiver Demaryius Thomas, and will reportedly pay him up to $6 million for the upcoming season. The last time we saw Thomas, he was being carted off the field with a torn Achilles, so many thought he wouldn’t be playing […]

Earlier this offseason, there were some who considered Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins to be the best quarterback prospect in this year’s NFL Draft class, but the closer the NFL Draft gets, the more Haskins’ stock appears to be dropping. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, some teams do not even think Haskins is a first-round […]

The New York Giants are headed into a pivotal season. After a very disappointing 2018 campaign, the team appears set to run it back with Eli Manning next season. If Manning doesn’t deliver, it’ll almost certainly be his last year in a Giants uniform. But while Manning has garnered most of the attention, the most […]

Linebacker Anthony Barr had agreed to sign with the New York Jets during the NFL’s tampering period, but because he did not actually sign any actual papers, he legally had the opportunity to back out, and that is exactly what he did.

The Chicago Bears had an undeniably successful 2018 season. They went from being the worst team in the NFC North to being the best, and came up a Cody Parkey kick short of making it to the second round of the playoffs. Unlike last year, they won’t be catching anybody by surprise in 2019. For […]
