It’s the same song and dance, just another version. Each and every offseason, the NFL either implements or ponders another rule change that’ll improve offense intentionally or by accident (in looking to take safety precautions).

The New Orleans Saints were right there in the running for Ndamukong Suh before he ultimately decided to sign with the Los Angeles Rams.

After playing for both New York teams, the Jets and Giants, it only makes sense that Geno Smith heads out west to take on the second largest market in the league, Los Angeles.
