Green Bay Packers confident Eddie Lacy will fix weight issue

Eddie Lacy came into the 2015 NFL season with a goal of rushing for 1,000 yards in his first three seasons in the league. Unfortunately, he seemingly forgot that he had to keep himself in shape throughout the offseason. He looked out of shape and without being offensive he quite simply looked fat. His weight […]

Frank Gore Must Have a Bigger Impact for Colts in 2016

Frank Gore was signed to be a workhorse running back for the Indianapolis Colts, but Andrew Luck’s injury issues never allowed him to get into the rhythm that many expected him to have. He had a solid all-around season, but the Colts will need him to have an even bigger season in 2016 and make […]

Ranking top quarterback prospects ahead of the Scouting Combine

Taking a quarterback early in the NFL draft is both exciting and terrifying all at the same time. The boom or bust and nothing in between potential  when drafting a “possible franchise quarterback” is as pronounced as any position in football. Perhaps that’s because teams are impatient to find out whether they have something truly special in a […]

Should the Kansas City Chiefs release Jamaal Charles?

The Kansas City Chiefs won 10 of the 11 games they played without star running back Jamaal Charles in 2015, with younger backs Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware rushing for a combined 1,037 yards in 11 starts (4.5 yards per carry). Considering that we have proof the Chiefs can be very successful without Charles and that […]

Ranking the many quarterbacks who may be available this offseason

I like to say that there are 32 franchises in the NFL but fewer than 32 franchise-caliber quarterbacks. That’s why it’s a big deal that there are several high-quality quarterbacks scheduled to become unrestricted free agents or projected to become available via release very soon, as well as a handful of good pivots in the […]

Dion Lewis: Grading the New England Patriots RB’s 2015 NFL Season

Dion Lewis was not a household name heading into the 2015 NFL season, but he was able to put his name on the map with the New England Patriots this year. He fit perfectly into the offense alongside of Tom Brady and if it hadn’t been for a season-ending injury would have put up huge […]

Could Matt Forte end up with the Green Bay Packers in free agency?

Matt Forte and the Chicago Bears have officially ended any chance that the veteran star running back would be returning to Chicago. He made it clear that the Bears are not going to re-sign him and that he will enter free agency with many different teams already beginning to plan how to bring him on […]

NFL salary cap increase good for contenders, bad for Raiders and Jaguars

On Monday, fresh off of a massive Super Bowl featuring the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers that made the NFL the usual massive pile of money they always earn, the league decided that it was time for yet another salary cap increase. Pushing the cap to a reported $155 million, almost $12 million more than […]

Will Teddy Bridgewater excel in Minnesota Vikings’ new indoor stadium?

Teddy Bridgewater is a Florida kid who played the majority of his high school and college football in the south before launching his NFL career outdoors at the Minnesota Vikings’ temporary home stadium. The franchise was still building the soon-to-be-opened U.S. Bank Stadium, and it’s fair to wonder if the 23-year-old quarterback might have been better […]

Cleveland Browns will likely keep Josh Gordon after reinstatement

Josh Gordon has been dealing with suspensions due to the problems that he has had off-the-field with marijuana in particular. He has broken the NFL substance-abuse policy many times and is coming off of a full season suspension this year. According to Tony Grossi, however, the Browns are still expected to keep him for the […]

Ronnie Hillman believes the Denver Broncos must keep Brock Osweiler

Brock Osweiler started at quarterback for the Denver Broncos when Peyton Manning went down with injury. Many thought he would keep the starting job for the remainder of the season, but that didn’t end up happening. Manning got the starting job back due to some minor late season struggles from Osweiler and ended up winning […]

Emmitt Smith’s career rushing yards record is probably untouchable

During his 15 seasons in the NFL, Emmitt Smith rushed for a record 18,355 yards. And yeah, we’re all aware of what they say about records being made to be broken, but it’s beginning to look like Smith’s mark of 18,355 is about as unbreakable as they come in this league. The trends are obvious. Backs […]

Miami Dolphins ‘definitely’ want to re-sign RB Lamar Miller

The Miami Dolphins are heading into the 2016 NFL offseason with quite a few things to get done. One of those things is bringing back running back Lamar Miller, who broke out with a huge 2015 season. Reports are coming out and showing that the Dolphins “definitely” want to re-sign Miller when free agency opens […]

Keenan Reynolds faces uphill battle after combine invite snub

Thursday marked the release of the invite list for the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine, and with the combine inviting all of the expected names the biggest story of the day was the one star player of the 2015 NCAA season that didn’t get invited. With the biggest news being that Navy’s Keenan Reynolds, who led […]
