The silly season is about to begin. The Combine is over, the heart of free agency is behind us and the 2016 NFL draft is just six weeks away. Here’s our latest mock… Check out part 2 here 1. Tennessee Titans: Ohio State DE Joey Bosa — I really don’t think that you need to take an […]

While the majority of the unrestricted free agents who have signed major contracts one week into the new league year are guys who have been in the league just four, five, maybe six years, the Baltimore Ravens have utilized a very different approach. Thus far, the Ravens have signed three outside free agent: 31-year-old Eric […]

It’s a quarterback frenzy! One week into the new league year, quarterbacks with question marks named Sam Bradford, Kirk Cousins and Brock Osweiler have been handed contracts/tenders that will pay them a combined total of $56 million a year. And yet Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Hoyer can’t get any love, despite the fact both veteran […]

If the 13-3 Arizona Cardinals had a single Achilles’ heel in 2015, it was a pass-rush that ranked 20th with 36 sacks (despite amassing nine in one game), 19th with a sack rate of 5.9 and 27th at Football Outsiders. As we saw in Super Bowl 50, getting to the passer consistently is as crucial as […]

This week, when performance-based pay was distributed to players throughout the NFL, veteran quarterback Matt Cassel received a check for a

About one week into free agency, here’s a look at four contracts that look on paper to be steals. Tennessee Titans sign WR Rishard Matthews to a three-year, $15 million contract with $5 million guaranteed In limited action, Matthews caught more than 70 percent of the passes thrown his way and averaged a solid 60.2 yards per […]

About one week into free agency, here’s a look at five contracts that could force teams to experience buyer’s regret before long. New York Giants sign DE Olivier Vernon to a five-year, $85 million contract with $52 million guaranteed It’s the fourth-highest guarantee for a defensive player in all of football, which is just insane […]

The majority of the top free agents who hit the market early last week have been signed, but there are still some talented players lingering. Here the best of them. 1. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick: Being a semi-reliable veteran quarterback automatically gets you on this list. Fitzpatrick’s numbers are never particularly pretty, but he’s battle-tested and […]

The Denver Broncos won’t have Peyton Manning or Brock Osweiler going forward, which doesn’t concern a lot of people because they were good enough to win the Super Bowl last season despite mediocre play from both quarterbacks. But the reality is Denver was a huge exception to a strong developing rule in 2015. Each of […]

Technically, the new league year is just a day old. And yet so damn much has happened, partly due to the fact teams and agents were able to negotiate contracts well ahead of the official start to free agency on Wednesday. That means we’re already into the second wave of the process. Here, entering “Day […]

The Oakland Raiders didn’t have a choice. With the spending floor forcing them to dish out some large contracts this offseason, the Raiders knew they’ve have to chase some top-tier free agents. And on the first day of the new league year, Oakland smartly did exactly that by adding Pro Bowl-caliber impact players on both […]

What the hell do the Houston Texans see in Brock Osweiler? I know, I know, there are 32 NFL teams and fewer than 32 franchise-caliber quarterbacks. And the Texans — who have all of the pieces in place except at quarterback — are desperate. But there’s a reason John Elway and the Denver Broncos didn’t […]

The window is closing on the Eli Manning era for the New York Giants. Manning is now 35 years old, which means he and superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have only a few years to work with in an effort to capture one more Lombardi Trophy. That’s why the Giants had to break from […]

Peyton Manning will long be remembered for his many accomplishments on the football field, and, it seems, for a few things off it. Among his many records, statistics, game balls and Super Bowls is a contribution to our society as a whole that I’m afraid will be lost to history unless someone writes it down and […]
