The Las Vegas Raiders had been quietly optimistic heading into the 2025 season. This was especially true after trading for Geno Smith to stabilize their quarterback position.

Darren Sproles did not particularly like playing with Carzon Wentz during their shared tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. Need proof?

Both experiences […]

Adjustments are in order if the Kansas City Chiefs want to cement themselves as the next great NFL dynasty. Departures like that of L’Jarius Sneed are going to leave a dent on Coach Andy Reid’s squad. However, they do get new weapons in Hollywood Brown and retain a strong defensive presence in Chris Jones. Next […]
