Predictions are fun, which is why mock drafts are a friggin’ ball to create. But hindsight is even cooler, which is why re-mocking old drafts is an even larger pleasure. Not long ago, we told you about how bad the 2013 NFL Draft was beginning to look as many of the players selected in that […]

By leaving the door even a tiny bit open for a potential return, newly-retired quarterback Tony Romo has put himself in a position to become the next Brett Favre. Every time a NFL team has an opening at quarterback, Romo will be listed as a potential candidate to fill it. But for now, Romo is […]

When enough people call you underrated, you lose the ability to be underrated. So while now-retired quarterback Tony Romo was often given a bum rap for most of his playing career, I’d like to think that enough light will eventually be shed on his success that we soon won’t be able to look back on him as […]

Richard Sherman and others are concerned that nobody wants Colin Kaepernick because the outspoken quarterback is perhaps too outspoken. He quietly protested the national anthem by taking a knee when it was played before games in 2016, and now there’s a belief that teams don’t want that kind of First Amendment exercising in their locker […]

According to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, quarterback Tom Brady — already the oldest position player in the NFL at 39, and he won’t play another game until he’s 40 — isn’t planning on walking away from the game until he’s closer to 50 than 40. “As recently as 2-3 days ago, he assured […]

The Oakland Raiders are moving to Las Vegas, and there are dozens of reasons why that’s a big story. Leading the way is the fact that the NFL has abandoned a long-serving market for the third time in a 15-month span. What does that say about the league, its teams and its owners? How will […]

It appears that for the 21st consecutive year, the top pick in the NFL draft will be quarterback-centric. In other words, his job will either be to play quarterback, protect the quarterback or crush the quarterback. A month out, Texas A&M pass rusher Myles Garrett is the consensus No. 1 in this year’s draft, which […]

The heart of NFL free agency is now behind us, with the bulk of activity and major contracts having been signed over the past two weeks. Several moves have changed the financial landscape of the league, especially in terms of which players are the highest-paid at their respective positions. What’s the new pecking order around […]

NFL teams doled out a lot of cash in the first official week of free agency, making several players very rich men in signing with new teams. But even after the spectacular start to free agency and many players switching teams, there is still plenty of talent still out there. Who are the top players still […]

On the surface, it’s rather surprising that in a league with 32 teams and fewer than 32 starting-caliber quarterbacks, Jay Cutler and Colin Kaepernick remain unsigned. Age-wise, both are in their prime, and they’ve both accomplished quite a bit in this league. The 33-year-old Cutler was ranked as a top-10 quarterback in terms of DYAR […]

Last year, we looked back at the abysmal 2009 NFL draft with seven years’ worth of hindsight, and it was ugly. The 2009 class was one of the worst in league history, yielding only five All-Pro players — one of whom was a punter (Pat McAfee, who recently retired). Now that the 2017 NFL free […]

With the majority of the best available players long gone from the open market, here’s […]
