Burning question: how much can the Rams get for Robert Griffin III?

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 […]

Burning question: how do the Packers fix their pass defense?

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 […]

2012 NFL Combine: risers and fallers highlight a mixed-up WR class

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 […]

Keep the NFL combine in perspective

For draft lovers and college football fans alike, the NFL combine is one of the biggest events of the year.

Ozzie Newsome indicates Ed Reed likely back in 2012

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 […]

Burning question: will the Patriots have to franchise Wes Welker?

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 […]

Burning question: can the New York Giants build a dynasty?

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 […]

Burning question: can the Jaguars fix their offense?

The Jacksonville Jaguars 5-11 record in 2011 was very misleading. The team fielded the 6th best defense in the league despite struggling to keep defenders healthy, especially in the secondary. Yes, the Jaguars had major issues on the offensive side of the ball, but those problems are treatable in the short term. In 2012, everything […]

Green Bay to franchise Matt Flynn in a tag-and-trade deal?

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 […]

Burning question: can the Lions build a shutdown defense?

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 […]

Burning question answered: the Eagles will franchise DeSean Jackson

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 […]

In a article at GQ, we’re being treated to an insightful look into the life of Tim Tebow’s backup quarterback, Brady Quinn. Quinn, who remained silent most of the season, rips Tim Tebow and the culture that has grown around Tebow. Said Quinn, “…I felt like the fans had a lot to do with that. […]
