With the AFC East out of the way, it’s the AFC North’s turn to fall into the crosshairs. Outside of the New England Patriots or teams quarterbacked by Peyton Manning, the other five of the six AFC Super Bowl representatives More
We finish up Week 3 of the NFL Preseason with three Sunday games. I’ll be live blogging two of them, beginning with the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Washington Redskins on FOX. More
It’s basically used as a way to kill a few weeks of programming during a dead time of the off-season, but the annual NFL Network’s Top 100 Players series (as voted on by the players) is a fun, easily watchable waste of time. But how can we turn killing this one hour a week into […] More
Looking at the grades below, I have to feel like I’d be the dream college professor. But these are honest assessments of the guys the AFC North teams picked in the draft with the caveat that you can’t really judge a draft for about three seasons. My first urge, looking at these draft rosters, was […] More
There will be no second franchise tag for Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short. Three months after sticking the tag on Short, the Panthers have and their star defensive lineman have worked out a five-year, $80.5 million contract with $35 million in guaranteed money. The contract will pay Short $40 million over the first two […] More
It’s the first of a deluge of fifth-year options for the 2014 NFL first-round draft class, but it might turn out to be the biggest. The Los Angeles Rams have exercised their fifth-year contract option for All-Universe defensive tackle Aaron Donald, locking him up through 2018. Donald, who the Rams picked at No. 13 back […] More
It’s been a busy week as I make the final push toward April’s NFL Draft. Needless to say that a few stories have managed to fall through the cracks, so Sunday night is as good a time as any to look back and what we missed. Oakland tries last ditch effort to keep Raiders, fails […] More
One of the most sought-after players in this NFL free agency period is staying home. After letting middle linebacker Dont’A Hightower test the waters of free agency, the New England Patriots re-signed him Wednesday to a four-year, $43.5 million contract with $19 million in guaranteed money. Hightower is now the second-highest paid middle linebacker in […] More
After the Dallas Cowboys were unable to find a willing trade partner for Tony Romo’s fat ass contract, it looks like they’re back to releasing him. And like great white sharks trailing a wounded whale, teams are circling. The biggest shark in the sea right now is the Houston Texans, who have done absolutely nothing […] More
See if you can make sense of this one. Kony Ealy, the defensive end who was nearly the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl 50, was so entrenched in the dog house the Carolina Panthers considered cutting him this offseason. Instead, they will now ship him and a third round pick to the New England […] More
The Baltimore Ravens were so close to having a shot at the playoffs but last week’s loss to Pittsburgh did them in. Now they’ve been eliminated and head to Cincinnati in a game where both teams have little to play for. Meanwhile, the Bengals, who were eliminated weeks ago, are fresh off another disheartening loss. […] More
Thursday Night Football belongs solely to the NFL Network this week as the Miami Dolphins (1-2) travel to southern Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2). It’s way early in the season to be saying this, but I’m saying it anyway. Whoever loses this game watches its season fall apart after tonight. The Game: […] More
