As the 2019 season approaches, there are still several teams who could use a veteran pass catcher, and not many are more reliable than tight end Jared Cook.

The Miami Dolphins, unsurprisingly, are ready to move on from Robert Quinn.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Miami is willing to pay a […]

The Oakland Raiders landed one veteran wide receiver in Antonio Brown but have parted ways with another in Jordy Nelson. Nelson will hit the open market, and at least five teams are interested in him. He may be 33 years old, but Nelson still has some left in the tank. He brings more than just […]

The Arizona Cardinals added a tremendous veteran presence as they signed former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs to a one-year deal worth $7 million.

The Cincinnati Bengals released long-time linebacker Vontaze Burfict on Monday, and in doing so, they saved $5.5 million in cap space, according to Spotrac.

Former Denver Broncos offensive lineman Matt Paradis signed a multi-year deal with the Carolina Panthers last week, marking the end of his five-year tenure with the Broncos.

The Oakland Raiders were rumored to be in the running for Antonio Brown. When the disgruntled receiver finally landed with the Silver and Black, one wondered if it was the end or beginning of more drama for the NFL’s ultimate diva. In all honesty, it could be a lot or a little of both. AB does […]

Safety Deone Bucannon signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, and the former Arizona Cardinal said that joining the Buccaneers was an easy decision.

Cameron Wake wasn’t ready to move on. The longtime Miami Dolphins pass-rusher said before NFL free agency began that he would “like” to return to the Miami Dolphins, but acknowledged his future with the team was “out of my hands.” After signing with the Tennessee Titans last week, though, it’s safe to say the 37-year-old […]

Joe Flacco isn’t the long-term answer at quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

For a team in a sudden state of transition after going […]

It seems like the New York Giants brass has resigned themselves to the fate of Eli Manning, at least if you believe general manager Dave Gettleman’s latest statement. Gettleman: "The way (Eli) finished the season and what he's making, there really wasn't a decision to make." — Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) March 18, 2019 Gettleman is […]
