The Washington Redskins may be willing to throw their future at the Rams’ feet for an opportunity to draft Robert Griffin III, as noted by our in-house Rams aficionado. The

With as much change as there has been for the St Louis Rams this offseason – cleaning house top to bottom and dealing with constant speculation about leaving town – there are more questions than answers. But the biggest one of all right now centers on the bounty that Jeff Fisher and company might reap […]

From the right point of view, it seemed like the 2011 Green Bay Packers might be even better than the 2010 version that almost missed out on the last playoff spot in the NFC before catching fire in the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers was playing at an incredibly high level, and […]

We aren’t supposed to take too much stock in what happens at the NFL Combine, which Peter King once named the “underwear olympics.” But there are winners and losers each year nonetheless, and nowhere is that more apparent than in this year’s mixed-up class of wide receivers.  Unlike last year, where AJ Green and Julio […]

The Ravens were a dropped Lee Evans pass away from a trip to the Super Bowl to play the New York Giants. That kind of heartbreak has to give you the drive to take one more shot at the big game. That’s why I’m not remotely surprised that Ed Reed is preparing to return to […]

It’s shocking to think that a single player can make so much difference to a team, but the Carolina Panthers leaped from dead last in the league in points scored to 5th – a staggering increase of 30 touchdowns from the previous year. And that was in year one of Cam Newton. What’s possible in […]

Since the Patriots acquired Wes Welker in a trade from the Miami Dolphins, he has been nothing short of outstanding. Of Welker’s 5 seasons in New England, he has posted over 1,100 yards receiving in four of them, and recovered from last year’s injury-hampered season to lead the NFL in receptions. While Welker’s production will […]

If the New York Giants hope for regular Super Bowl appearances, they can do no better than to study the team they victimized last February 4. The dynastic New England Patriots won the AFC East eight of the last nine seasons. The sole miss came in 2008 when the Pats, without Tom Brady for most […]

Dominos fall quickly in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers were widely assumed to be using their franchise player tag on TE Jermichael Finley, and let in-demand backup quarterback Matt Flynn walk. Those circumstances changed dramatically when Ted Thompson came to a two-year agreement with Finley. Within minutes of the announcement of that news, Packers […]

The Detroit Lions took a massive leap forward as a team in 2011, returning to the playoffs for the first time since 1999, as Matt Stafford threw for over 5,000 yards and Calvin Johnson led the league in receiving yards en route to being an almost-unanimous All-Pro selection. Their stay in the playoffs would prove […]

Alex Smith has worn a San Francisco 49ers uniform for seven years now. 2011 marks the first time his team has finished above 18th in the league in points. And while he was called upon to manage games for most of the regular season, the playoffs provided a revelation.  Alex Smith, a former bust who […]

Consider this burning question answered by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles will apply the franchise tag to DeSean Jackson, the team’s biggest question mark this offseason, to keep him in green for one more season. Next question: Then what? Count on one thing. Jackson will not see a day of free agency. The Eagles have […]
