Joe Flacco is getting a fresh start with the Denver Broncos after an 11-year run with the Baltimore Ravens that featured a lot of ups and downs. While the high point of winning the Super Bowl during the 2012-13 campaign was great, the low point was nearly as bad, as Flacco lost his starting job […]

The Cleveland Browns boast one of the league’s most impressive collections of skill players. Before Kareem Hunt can take the field next season to wreak havoc on defenses with his teammates, though, the versatile running back will serve an eight-game suspension – punishment he “respects” and has opted against appealing. “I want to again apologize […]

Antonio Brown and the Oakland Raiders, by first impressions, at least, seem like a match made in heaven. If not for the Pittsburgh Steelers doing extra diligence while working the phones to find a trade partner, though, the six-time Pro Bowler would almost certainly be wearing colors other than silver and black going forward. During […]

There once was a time when Jimmy Graham, currently of the Green Bay Packers, was widely regarded as the best tight end in all of football. As a third-round pick from the 2010 NFL Draft, Graham wasn’t immediately projected to become a superstar given his draft spot in relation to the overall scarcity of talent […]

The linebacker position has increased in importance in the NFL over the past few seasons as defenses seek to add players who can play the inside run and cover from sideline-to-sideline. A solid class of free agents have been paid handsomely, with Kwon Alexander leading the pack with a four-year, $54 million contract from the […]

When the Cleveland Browns signed Kareem Hunt the expectation was that he would be suspended and now that is official with Hunt being suspended the first eight games of next season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Former New England Patriots’ defensive end Trey Flowers can’t wait to be reunited with his old defensive coordinator Matt Patricia in Detroit. The four-year veteran signed a five-year, $90 million deal with the Lions yesterday and expressed his excitement to be playing for the second-year head coach. “He taught me a lot of things, developed […]

Like so many young football fans born in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Landon Collins grew up idolizing the late, great Sean Taylor. Unlike an overwhelming majority of those youngsters, though, Collins actually has the chance to follow in his favorite player’s footsteps as a superstar safety for the Washington Redskins. After signing the […]

The Indianapolis Colts entered the 2019 offseason with over $100 million in cap space, more than any other team in the league. After signing wide receiver Devin Funchess to a one-year deal worth up to $13 million, the Colts are turning to look at their secondary and they may be hoping to pair former Green […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars wasted no time moving on from Blake Bortles. The Jaguars signed Nick Foles once free agency began as their new signal caller. The deal is reportedly a four-year, $88 million contract that includes $50 million in guarantees. Besides a Super Bowl ring, Foles can now boast a hefty contract on his resume. […]

The Green Bay Packers have been one of the most aggressive teams in the NFL in free agency. A couple of years ago, that statement would’ve been shocking. But it’s true, as the Packers have been one of the biggest spenders out there. They’ve signed big name players like Za’Darius Smith, Billy Turner, Preston Smith, […]

The Carolina Panthers have been shuffling around their offensive line a little bit. First, center Ryan Kalil announced his retirement at the end of last season. Then on Thursday, they cut Kalil’s brother and offensive tackle Matt Kalil, just two years into his five-year $55 million deal. They signed center Matt Paradis away from the […]

The New York Jets have signed kicker Chandler Catanzaro, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal comes after the Jets lost their Pro Bowl kicker of 2018, Jason Myers, to the Seattle Seahawks. This will actually represent Catanzaro’s second stint in New York, as he also played for the Jets back in 2017. That […]

From the Ravens to the Cardinals, a longtime staple of the Baltimore defense is ready to prove himself in some different plumage. After 16 seasons with the Ravens, linebacker Terrell Suggs signed a one-year $7 million contract with the Cardinals. When asked about any potential differences in his game, the 36-year-old Suggs said this to […]

The Indianapolis Colts are looking to repeat the surprising success they had last season. After making it to the divisional round of the playoffs following a Wild Card round victory over the Texans, expectations are high heading into 2019. They won’t have the benefit of catching teams by surprise anymore and everyone knows they’re a […]

The free agency market was packed with a good number of top-caliber safeties. One of them was New York Giants standout Landon Collins, who earned his third-straight Pro Bowl nod after finishing the 2018 season with over 95 tackles out of the secondary for the fourth-consecutive year. Earlier this week, reports came out that Collins […]

Four years and four cities. Over the course of his last four seasons, one of the Cleveland Browns’ newest pass rushers, Sheldon Richardson, has bounced around the country. Now he hopes to have found a home in Ohio. Richardson spent the first four years of his career with the New York Jets, before being traded […]

Kyler Murray probably didn’t need a good or even a great Pro Day. The Heisman Trophy winner needed to show up, complete a number of pass attempts, and let the media take it from there. Mission accomplished. Murray, who could be the number one selection in the upcoming NFL Draft, had taken some criticism during […]

Saquon Barkley was overworked during his debut NFL season. The New York Giants running back finished second in the NFL behind Ezekiel Elliott with 261 carries, and second among running backs in receptions behind Christian McCaffrey with 91 catches. The result was an eye-popping, award-winning rookie season, one so productive and promising so much potential […]

FS1’s famous sports talk show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed is well-known for the program’s hot takes on everything about the sporting world coming from its titular hosts, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. Bayless and Sharpe’s sharp-tongued personalities have made for some of the most entertaining debates on television, especially when their discussions go off the […]

Replacing the production of Antonio Brown will be a tall task for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one made even more difficult if the players replacing him try to do their best imitation of the six-time Pro Bowler rather than playing to their own individual strengths. Fortunately for the Steelers, Donte Moncrief fully understands that reality, as […]

The Buffalo Bills were once the leading candidates in the Antonio Brown sweepstakes, but that was until the Oakland Raiders snatched the superstar sensation from the team’s grasp of the matter. In turn, Buffalo pivoted their attention towards other available wide receivers in the free-agent market, and Baltimore Ravens receiver John Brown fell unto the […]

NFL free agency is in full swing and the New York Jets are in the thick of it. After landing Le’Veon Bell, they have continued to add other pieces. The most recent addition is cornerback Brian Poole. Per Adam Schefter, Poole will be heading to the Jets on a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. He […]

DeSean Jackson has many reasons to be excited about returning to the Philadelphia Eagles. One of the most significant among them, though? Playing with franchise quarterback Carson Wentz, as the 11-year veteran told reporters at his introductory press conference on Thursday. “As far as him being a young quarterback, he’s got the world in his […]

Adam Humphries of the Tennessee Titans is considered one the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL today. Last season, the 25-year-old out of Clemson finally broke out. Humphries played all 16 games for the Bucs — 10 as a starter — and finished with career-highs of 105 targets, 76 receptions, 816 receiving yards and five touchdowns. As […]

The New England Patriots tend to make under-the-radar moves every offseason. We’ll likely be talking about their signing of Terrence Brooks during their gazillionth Super Bowl run. According to Adam Schefter, the Patriots signed Brooks to a two-year deal. The details regarding the money for the deal have yet to be disclosed. So one might […]

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to reach an agreement with free agent wide receiver, and former first round pick of the Chicago Bears, Kevin White. White became a seventh overall pick in 2015 because of his fantastic speed that left college defenders in the dust, but has not lived up to that potential. That is […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have finally begun addressing the edge after parting ways with a pair of star pass-rushers earlier this week. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs have signed free agent defensive end Alex Okafor to a three-year deal worth up to $24 million. The #Chiefs are expected to sign former #Saints […]

The New England Patriots fared just fine last season with a receiving corps that could generously be described as average. Believe it or not, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the team’s existing infrastructure have a way of getting the best out of New England’s roster. Still, that doesn’t make the Patriots missing out on multiple […]

The New York Jets had been pledging to be aggressive for months. General manager Mike Maccagnan had been saying publicly all season the Jets were going to be big spenders, and he delivered. He landed perhaps the biggest fish of them all, signing Le’Veon Bell to a four-year contract. Jets fans were understandably excited about […]

NFL fans know darn well that not even Father Time could stop future Hall-of-Famer Frank Gore from slowing down. As a matter of fact, the oldest active running back in the NFL will indeed return to action in 2019, recently signing with the Buffalo Bills to a one-year deal. Last season, Gore appeared to be […]

The New York Jets made headlines with the signing of running back Le’Veon Bell. It appears fans have safety Jamal Adams to thank for that. There was no shortage of interest in a player of Bell’s caliber in free agency. According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, it was the push from […]

The Green Bay Packers have a solid offense with the 2019 season approaching, but a familiar face may be destined to return for next season. Wide receiver Jordy Nelson was released by the Oakland Raiders officially on Thursday after just one season. Aaron Rodgers was openly disgruntled after Nelson was released by the team during […]

Oakland Raiders fans haven’t had much to cheer of late. The franchise’s lone playoff appearance since 2002, in 2016, didn’t produce a victory. Team icon Jon Gruden returned to the fold last season, only to trade a pair of marquee players and finish his second debut 4-12. Bigger picture, the Raiders are still moving to […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have had to make some significant changes to the defensive side of the ball this offseason. Fortunately, it did not take much convincing to bring in safety Tyrann Mathieu. The Chiefs have emerged as one of the most talented teams in the NFL and a legitimate championship contender moving forward. According […]

Nick Foles has the raw talent to be successful with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team’s newly-minted franchise quarterback knows full well, though, that ability isn’t enough to win at the highest level in the NFL. As such, Foles will focus on something else than digging into Jaguars’ offensive playbook between now and when the team […]

The New York Giants made the biggest splash of the NFL offseason when they traded Odell Beckham Jr. to the Browns. But they didn’t slow down after that, as they’ve been making a flurry of moves. They just signed receiver Golden Tate, and now they’re making a big signing for their defense. New York is […]

The San Francisco 49ers aren’t done adding pieces. The 49ers have already been aggressive this offseason, trading for Dee Ford and signing Tevin Coleman and Jason Verrett. Now they’re adding another weapon for their offense, as the team is signing receiver Jordan Matthews, according to Allan Bell of 247Sports. Matthews was once one of the […]

The tantalizing talent of Jameis Winston apparently is still able to excite without qualification. During his introductory press conference on Thursday, new Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman was practically giddy at the prospect of teaming up with the former number one overall pick. “I’m getting excited just talking about it,” he said of […]
