The Detroit Lions, traditionally, have not exactly been known for fielding the finest rosters in their long existence, and they haven’t exactly been heralded for their shrewd front offices, either (see: Matt Millen). In fact, the Lions — one of football’s longest-running franchises — are not active traders, at all, no matter who’s in charge. […]

In my tortured existence as a New York Jets fan, truly “great” moments have come few and far between. The franchise has provided one sustained run of contention since I’ve been an adult, and, tragically,  is more closely associated with historic bloopers and varying degrees of incompetency rather than excellence and winning. But! That doesn’t […]

When you talk about the quarterbacks of the 2020 NFL Draft class, the first two names that come to mind are LSU’s Joe Burrow and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa.

The Cleveland Browns fell well short of expectations in 2019, going just 6-10 and missing the playoffs entirely in spite of Super Bowl aspirations. One of the biggest criticisms levied against the Browns this season was the fact that they did a little too much talking without backing it up with production on the field. […]

Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan believes that New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is better than Sam Darnold.

There has been a lot of talk about Todd Bowles being on the chopping block after this season for the New York Jets, but Rex Ryan is wondering why there isn’t talk about other people inside the organization also being on that same block.

In retrospect, it sounds like a wasted opportunity for the Buffalo Bills that they weren’t able to keep one of their former wide receivers in Chris Hogan, who was let go by the team in free agency last year.
