Richard Sherman has never shied away from stating his opinion, and those views often land him in hot water, at least in the eyes of the public. Occasionally, Sherman makes a solid observation, and this is one of those cases. Sherman, who occasionally writes at MMQB.si.com, took to the old pen and paper (actually to […]

So much of the blame for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 0-8 start last year was placed on head coach Greg Schiano, who is now gone. He’s been replaced by the well-respected Lovie Smith. And now a Buccaneers team that was never really short on talent in the first place has spent the offseason refueling in […]

When reports began popping up over the past couple of weeks the Eagles were seriously trying to jettison DeSean Jackson, it was mildly surprising, although considering his salary cap impact, it wasn’t a huge shock to see the Eagles trying to free that space up. Now that it’s become apparent that his off-field behavior, specifically […]

We’ve heard it before, and we’re hearing it again. The Tennessee Titans don’t plan on picking up the fifth-year option on quarterback Jake Locker’s contract. Makes sense, considering that Locker has struggled with accuracy and durability 18 starts into his NFL career and that said option would cost $13 million. But while the team continues […]

Now that the Mark Sanchez era is done and gone in New York, the Jets can actually move forward with finding their next franchise quarterback. The tandem of Michael Vick and Geno Smith will get them by in the immediate future, but it’s unclear if Smith can eventually be the team’s go-to starting quarterback. The […]

I laugh nowadays when I see quarterbacks and position coaches analyzing plays on the sideline by staring at frozen print-outs from a nearby computer than I can only assume looks like this: It’s 2014, man. Paper playbooks have become a thing of the past, moving almost entirely to tablets. So why shouldn’t teams be allowed […]

It’s seemed likely for some time that the Houston Texans would like to move out of the first overall pick in the draft, but now there is actually a big of evidence to back up that belief. Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report learned at this week’s NFL annual meeting that the Texans are “trying hard” […]

Everybody calm the hell down! Yes, Johnny Manziel is the latest college quarterback with whom the nation has arbitrarily decided to fall in love with despite major concerns regarding his on-field abilities and his off-field antics. But let’s keep in mind that Pro Days amount to almost nothing in terms of how scouts and front […]

It won’t happen overnight. Hell, it can’t happen overnight. Well, it theoretically can, just as it did when the Colts left Baltimore, but not any time soon. It won’t come out of nowhere, and it won’t surprise anyone. Regardless, it will happen. Sadly, the Bills will leave Buffalo. Now that owner Ralph Wilson has passed, it’s only […]

Bruce Arians is confident in his team’s ability to make a playoff run in 2014, and why shouldn’t he be? Last season, the Cardinals struggled to find their footing early in the season, getting off to just a 3-4 start. They closed strong, however, eventually making it to 10-6 and just missing the playoffs in […]

The NFL wimped out, again. The league’s Competition Committee gave the 32 owners a chance to do the right thing and adopt a broader, more widespread replay format, and instead they rejected this… Permit a coach to challenge any official’s decision, except scoring plays which are automatically reviewed. And this… Expand instant replay to include […]

All 32 NFL teams attempted to fill as many roster holes as possible during the free-agency period, but every club will head into the 2014 draft with positional needs. Here’s a look at the needs for each AFC team. (The positions are listed in order, by importance.) AFC East Buffalo Bills – WR, RT, TE […]

The Dolphins, who have denied trying to trade wide receiver Mike Wallace in the past, are renewing their efforts to move their extremely expensive acquisition from a season ago, or at least that’s what Jason La Canfora reports via Twitter. La Canfora mentions Wallace’s contract makes any potential trade a tough sell, and that’s the […]

Five facts: 1. This NFL draft features very few top-tier players worthy of obsessing over. 2. This NFL draft features three quarterbacks many feel are worthy of being picked in the top 10. 3. You can’t win in this league without a quarterback. 4. The Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders both need quarterbacks. 5. The […]

Ralph Wilson Jr., the 95-year-old founder and owner of the Buffalo Bills has passed, but when a friend texted me the news this afternoon, I was stunned. I didn’t expect to be surprised, but oddly, I was. The sheer shock and never-pleasant stomach drop which accompanied that shock brought to the forefront of my mind […]
