Report: Josh Norman to sign with Washington

It looks like Josh Norman wasn’t on the open market very long….. The initial reports are 5 years for $75 million with $50 million in guarantees…. BREAKING: CB Josh Norman has agreed to terms with the Redskins, via

CLEVELAND, OH – AUGUST 28: Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam looks on prior to the preseason game against the Chicago Bears at FirstEnergy Stadium on August 28, 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)

Browns should be happy to let Eagles commit football suicide for No. 2 pick

Dumping on the Cleveland Browns really has become a national pastime. After all, we’re talking about a team that has employed six general managers and six head coaches in the last nine years, a team that has drafted just one first-team All-Pro this century, a team that hasn’t won a playoff game since 1994 and a […]

Examining 10 potential landing spots for free agent cornerback Josh Norman

In an extremely sudden and rather shocking move, the Carolina Panthers rescinded Josh Norman’s franchise tag on Wednesday, immediately making the All-Pro cornerback an unrestricted free agent. With the draft just a week away, it’s a weird time for an NFL star to hit the open market. Taking that and events from the last six weeks […]

HOUSTON, TX – DECEMBER 01: J.J. Watt #99 of Houston Texans enters the field before the game against the New England Patriots at Reliant Stadium on December 1, 2013 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Why is there no pressure on J.J. Watt to win?

Lately, the NFL’s best defensive player has spoken rather boldly about the possibility that he’ll retire at an earlier age than many Houston Texans fans would prefer. But what’s interesting is that as we ponder J.J. Watt’s legacy, we hardly ever consider the fact the four-time first-team All-Pro and three-time defensive player of the year […]

10 small-school draft prospects poised to make an impact in the NFL

You may not have heard of some of these schools below, but make no mistake, the players that represent them are poised to do great things in the NFL. Finding supreme talent from a small school is something a team can brag about forever, whether it’s Jerry Rice (Mississippi Valley State), Walter Payton (Jackson State) or […]

SANTA CLARA, CA – NOVEMBER 23: a San Francisco 49ers fan cheers for his team against the Washington Redskins at Levi’s Stadium on November 23, 2014 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

San Francisco 49ers fans: Give your franchise a break

When the San Francisco 49ers opened their new stadium two years ago, the entire venue was sold out and you had to get on a waiting list in order to buy a personal seat license. At that point, the team was coming off three consecutive seasons in which it went to the conference championship. Two […]

Hoyer vs. Fitzpatrick: Which quarterback is better for the Jets?

The New York Jets and veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick have been locked in a stalemate throughout the offseason, with Fitzpatrick likely looking for a big contract within range of the monster deal signed by Brock Osweiler, and the Jets likely looking to re-sign the 33-year-old at a more reasonable rate. Complicating things is that the […]

NFL comparisons to top NFL draft prospects

Jared Goff, Cal ~ Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagles The parallels between these two are stunning, aside from Bradford being a good 15-plus pounds heavier coming out of Oklahoma. Like Bradford, Goff is a rhythm based passer that does most of his damage near the middle of the field. He is more than capable of going […]

Ranking the second-tier quarterbacks in the draft

Vernon Adams Jr. Oregon (2nd Round) For a number of odd reasons, Adams had been swept under the rug for most of the draft process. Seeing as he was an FCS transfer whose job was to replace Heisman winner and No.2 overall pick Marcus Mariota, it made sense that he was brushed aside. Adams was also targeted by a […]

LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH 5: Speaker Les Snead (L), general manager of NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, speaks with a moderator and Tom Telesco, general manger of NFlL’s San Diego Chargers, during Leaders Sports Performance Summit at Red Bull House on March 5, 2016, in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Los Angeles Rams would be silly to reveal top pick before draft

I’m sure Los Angeles Rams fans, draft aficionados and those related to Carson Wentz or Jared Goff have a tough 10 days ahead of them, because it’s become clear the Los Angeles Rams won’t be striking a deal with — or announcing — their No. 1 draft pick between now and then. General manager Les […]

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – FEBRUARY 28: Defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche of Ole Miss participates in a drill during the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 28, 2016 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Robert Nkemdiche wants a pet panther

We have a new clubhouse leader for quote of the year in sports, and it comes from NFL draft prospect Robert Nkemdiche. The Ole Miss defensive lineman was already a draft lightning rod for falling out of a fourth-floor window — an incident which led to marijuana possession charges. But then, in an ESPN feature published […]

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – SEPTEMBER 15: Running back Trent Richardson #34 of the Indianapolis Colts carries the ball against the Philadelphia Eagles during a game at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 15, 2014 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

Can Trent Richardson make something of his last chance?

Talent is talent, and when you’ve got it and you’re still relatively young, somebody is going to give you a job in the NFL. Even if your name is Trent Richardson and you didn’t play all of last season. The 25-year-old former No. 3 overall pick signed with the Baltimore Ravens this week, which means […]

Should the Cleveland Browns wait to draft a quarterback?

Now that the first pick of the draft will almost certainly be a quarterback, the Cleveland Browns own some extremely valuable real estate in the No. 2 spot. And yes, they need a quarterback. And yes, there are supposedly two top-tier quarterbacks in this draft. But should the Browns consider taking advantage of the value […]

MIAMI, FL – DECEMBER 22: Paxton Lynch #12 of the Memphis Tigers warms up before of the game against the Brigham Young Cougars at Marlins Park on December 22, 2014 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Rob Foldy/Getty Images)

Are Carson Wentz and/or Jared Goff really that much better than Paxton Lynch?

That’s what this Los Angeles Rams trade with the Tennessee Titans amounts to. It’s obvious the Rams feel Carson Wentz and/or Jared Goff are better options than Paxton Lynch, who is expected to be available in the middle of the first round. But does it make sense to sacrifice a first-round pick, two second-round picks […]

MEMPHIS, TN – OCTOBER 17: Paxton Lynch #12 of the Memphis Tigers throws a pass during a game against the Ole Miss Rebels at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on October 17, 2015 in Memphis, Tennessee. The Tigers defeated the Rebels 37-24. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

TGS post-Rams trade mock draft, part 2

With the 2016 NFL Draft just two weeks away, the Los Angeles Rams now own the first overall pick following a trade with the Tennessee Titans. That means it’s time for a fresh TGS mock draft. Check out part one here 17. Atlanta Falcons: Ohio State LB Darron Lee — Even after free agency, the Falcons need […]
