The Atlanta Falcons were unable to defend their NFC crown in the 2017 NFL season. As a result, it seems quarterback Matt Ryan is ready to take a much more stern approach this year.

The catch here is that Baker Mayfield was not told by his agent or an NFL executive that he will be going to the Arizona Cardinals.

The New York Giants sent shockwaves throughout the NFL when they started fielding offers for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Despite being one of the best players in the league, it seems the Giants have had some trouble with finding a team that is willing to meet their lucrative asking price due to the alleged “baggage” […]

New Denver Broncos punter Marquette King can’t wait to get things kicked off in 2018 and has great reason.
