Ravens cut Vonta Leach; Kyle Juszczyk next man up

Vonta Leach, the Ravens bulldozing fullback, has been cut by the team. With a $3 million base salary, it was obvious the Ravens wouldn't want to pay a fullback that kind of money, but it continues the weakening of the roster as the exile of solid players continues. Leach made it clear last week that […]

Jim Irsay getting in the way of negotiations

As a general manager, Ryan Grigson is trying to get the best possible deal for the Colts while signing Ahmad Bradshaw. With a better deal, Grigson keeps a little extra money for future deals and situations. Unfortunately, owner Jim Irsay isn't making it very easy on Grigson to get a deal beneficial to the Colts. […]

Wes Welker enjoying his new team

When the Patriots failed to re-sign Wes Welker, a division seemed to temporarily open between quarterback Tom Brady and the team. Brady openly questioned why Welker had been allowed to walk, and was clearly angry. For Wes Welker, it's less of an open and shut discussion. He seems to be enjoying his new gig with […]

Larry Foote plays the shoulda-would-coulda game

Last year, the Steelers struggled down the stretch, missing the playoffs by finishing 8-8. There were a number of games the team lost that they could have won, and a number they could have lost but did win. Then again, that's the nature of the NFL for all 32 clubs. Still, that hasn't stopped Steelers […]

Jets are in trouble at QB position according to reports

Uh oh. Here we go again. It's my distinct pleasure to report this evening that the Jets are without a good option at quarterback — again, and help is not on the way. Rich Cimini of ESPN New York reports that the New York Jets aren't impressed with what they're seeing from rookie quarterback Geno […]

Cortland Finnegan makes crazy prediction

Cortland Finnegan has never been afraid to speak his mind, even if his opinion is in serious contradiction to the general consensus. Chalk his most recent comment up as being one of those incidents. "If we don’t win it, I’ll take the Lions winning it next," Finnegan told the Detroit Free Press. Wait, what? That's […]

Reggie Bush is confident the Lions can contend; is he arrogant?

This offseason, the Detroit Lions added running back Reggie Bush. He'll add a new dimension to the Lions' running offense, but his greatest contribution may come in the passing game, where he's electric in the open field. Considering the weapons the Lions have, it's not wonder that Bush is confident that his new team can […]

Bears not likely to sign Russell

Although reports of Russell's performance at Friday's workout were altogether positive, it's unlikely that the Bears will be jumping at the opportunity to sign him, Trent Edwards or Jordan Palmer, both of whom worked out in the same session as Russell. While JaMarcus Russell showed up at an acceptable weight and threw the ball with […]

Eagles relying on unique approach on offense

The Philadelphia Eagles gambled their short-term future when they hired Chip Kelly as their head coach. Kelly brings with him an offense that is unlike anything present in the NFL before him, and if it fails, it'll likely be unlike anything that follows. The high-octane scheme has been described as being innovation as well as […]

“Hard Knocks” having trouble finding a host team — again

"Hard Knocks," the popular documentary produced by NFL Films and HBO covering one team through training camp, is having trouble finding a host team. Sound familiar? It should. Last season, the show covered the Miami Dolphins after pursuing other fruitless leads. The problem with "Hard Knocks" is that it's simply intrusive. Yes, it gives fans […]

Jaguars could play a second game at Wembley each year as visiting team

Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has been publicly committed to spreading the Jaguars brand since he bought the team. One way he's implemented this vision is by volunteering the team to play one home game per year at Wembley Stadium across the pond, but recent reports have projected the Jaguars as possibly picking up another home […]

Brian Kelly rumor confirms Jim Schwartz is on a very hot seat

Last year was a return to normal for the Detroit Lions. After a quick start, the Lions were unable to put sixty minutes of solid football together, and they finished the season with just 4 wins. It was thought that head coach Jim Schwartz might not survive the season. Obviously Schwartz did survive the season, […]

NFL may need to protect players from themselves in concussion cases

Concussions have been at the forefront of safety talk for some time now, and much of the NFL landscape has been shaped, in recent years, by the added stress put on safety, especially in the head and neck area. Still, some players just want to play football. Former Indianapolis Colts receiver Austin Collie, for instance, […]
