One of the biggest problems that current athletes in all sports have is often their own ability to manage money. It's a problem that the NFL's taken note of, and they're working on helping current and former players make better investments. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Brady Quinn (yes that one) and […]

We've entered the second wave of free agency and two particularly well-respected veteran defensive players are still seeking jobs. So good, in fact, that both were considered the best defensive player in football at different points in the last five years.  Yep, 2008 defensive player of the year James Harrison is still sitting around on […]

It's no secret that this year's draft class is weak, especially at the quarterback position. That assessment is, obviously, based solely on college observations, but there seems to be a lack of confidence in this year's quarterback class to perform at a high level in the NFL. Consider what Gil Brandt told Peter King of […]

According to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com, the Raiders have struck a deal with the Seattle Seahawks that will send quarterback Matt Flynn to Oakland for a "late round" pick in 2014 and a conditional pick in 2015. Once again, the Raiders will be trying to start over with a different quarterback. Reports had been circulating […]

Now that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has received an extremely lucrative long-term contract extension and Joe Flacco has been made the highest-paid player in NFL history, the table has been set for a much better quarterback to eclipse them all.  The six-year, $65 million deal Aaron Rodgers signed with the Green Bay Packers during […]

If I would have told you at the beginning of the offseason that a quarterback would get a six year, $108 million extensions with $55 million guaranteed, you probably wouldn't have guessed that the mystery quarterback was indeed Tony Romo. In the grand scheme of things, the deal probably won't matter much. The Cowboys are […]

When Osi Umenyiora signed with the Atlanta Falcons for a base earning of $8.5 million, Dwight Freeney was taking notes. Freeney, now 33 years old, is looking for a deal that exceeds that of Umenyiora, who is just 31 years of age, according to a report by Ian Rapoport. The knee-jerk reaction would be to […]

Blaine Gabbert has had a rough start to his NFL career. He's currently working with his fourth head coach and third offensive coordinator. That type of instability stunted Alex Smith's career early on, and it may be having a similar effect on Gabbert's career. That instability hasn't stopped anonymous critics from slamming the Jaguars' "franchise" […]

The NFL is all about money, unless you have more money than you can ever spend. At that point, players just want to make their mark. Winning a Super Bowl is the ultimate way for a quarterback to make his mark on the game, and that's what Carson Palmer seems to be eyeing. According to […]

For a bit of fun on a Wednesday afternoon, let's shake up our routines with a bit of a controversial declaration. Yes, you read the title correctly. I think it's more likely that Vince Young plays in the NFL in the coming season than Tim Tebow. Before I outline this argument, I want to qualify […]

Yesterday, Jason La Canfora targeted the Jacksonville Jaguars as a likely landing place for Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn, citing multiple NFL sources. Also mentioned as potential teams for Flynn were the Bills and the Raiders. Of the three teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars make far more sense than the Raiders or the Bills. The Raiders have […]

With no high caliber, or even mediocre caliber, quarterbacks on their roster, the assumption is that the Buffalo Bills will be drafting a quarterback to be their starter in next month's draft. The problem is that they're drafting in an awkward. At eighth overall, the Bills likely won't have a shot at drafting Geno Smith, […]

A lot has changed since we last mocked the draft. In fact, only hours after we went out on a limb and gave Geno Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs, Alex Smith was traded to Andy Reid's new team and our mock draft was already even more flawed than it was in the first place.  […]
