The NFL makes a lot of money, guys. Like, we're talking 11 figures a year. Facebook money. WhatsApp money, but on an annual basis.  And per the collective bargaining agreement, the more money the league makes, the more money the players make. Not controversial or anything. But as a result, the salary cap — and […]

At this point in the offseason we’re usually preoccupied with more than just the NFL draft and the looming beast of free agency. The use of the franchise tag usually provides us with a few noteworthy story lines, but this season has been nearly silent on the tag’s front. Why are teams turning away from […]

We should have gotten the clue when fullbacks starting dying out a decade ago. But we really didn't.  The last time we had a running back taken with the first or second pick of the NFL draft, it was 2006. That year, 23 backs ran for 1,000 yards. In 2013, only 13 backs were able […]

Armed with new information in the conclusion of the NFL Combine, decisions on where to go in the draft are starting to take shape. Of course free agency has yet to start, so the various needs of teams remains in question until they complete the exercise leading into the draft. This won't predict possible trades […]

For the second year in a row, I'm beginning to wonder if the NFL draft has zero franchise quarterbacks.

The popular belief is that those guys have had their stock inflated by the fact so many […]

The first major step of the NFL draft process is complete. Here's who "lost" at this year's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. 1. Will Sutton: With fellow big guys tearing it up, Sutton disappointed with a 5.36 40-yard dash. In his defense, he's 303 pounds. But that might be the problem.  2. Cyrus Kouandjio: "Sluggish, […]

The first major step of the NFL draft process is complete. Here's who "won" at this year's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.  1. Teams in need of speed: Not only were the typically fast prospects running extremely fast, but the typically slow, fat dudes were even setting new benchmarks.

On Sunday, former San Diego State running back Adam Muema left the NFL Scouting Combine before working out due to religious reasons. Muema told the San Diego Union-Tribune that his immediate plans were not decided as of Sunday as he waited in Indianapolis International Airport for a flight out of Indiana, saying, “(God) told me […]

Last year at the NFL Scouting Combine, Colorado tight end Nick Kasa was asked during a team interview if he liked girls. That inappropriate question drew scorn from the NFL, which was reportedly planning on clamping down on such antics going forward.  This year, Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles was also asked about his relationship […]

In his short career, Colts running back Trent Richardson has been nothing but a disappointment, despite what Indianapolis general manager Ryan Grigson insists. After being traded to the Colts following the second week of the 2013 season, Richardson averaged just 2.9 yards per carry, and he served as Donald Browns’ backup. The first round draft […]
