Let’s conduct an exercise to see just how much talent is left available in free agency by building the best offense we can from players available.

The Bears won the NFC North with ease last season, but things won’t be as easy for Matt Nagy and his innovative offense in 2019. No one expected the Bears to dominate the NFC North last season, but that’s exactly what Chicago did en route to a 12-4 victory. Everyone in the Windy City should

No one in Minnesota was happy with the Vikings’ 8-7-1 record last season. This year, Mike Zimmer and company want to be Super Bowl bound. Kirk Cousins was supposed to be the signing to push the Vikings over the top last season. Instead, the team floundered to a mediocre 8-7-1 season. Suffice it to say,

The Packers won the Super Bowl during the 2010-2011 season but since then, Wisconsin sports teams have looked like they’re cursed. So are they? Flashback to Feb. 6, 2011. The 6th seeded Green Bay Packers go on a spectacular run in the playoffs and end up defeating the Pittsburg Steelers in the Super Bowl. Aaron
The Packers will only go as far as Aaron Rodgers takes them this season, but here are five predictions about how Green Bay’s year will go. Aaron Rodgers isn’t getting any younger which means the entire Packers organization is under pressure to give him another chance to win a Super Bowl title. If that’s going
With training camps still three weeks away, I’m officially on vacation for the next 14 days. Here’s a little football, and a lot of life. As you’re reading this, I’m on a deck in upstate New York. I’m overlooking a man-made lake on the top of a mountain in the Catskills. It’s beautiful. I’m at
The Eagles invested a first round pick in Derek Barnett in 2017, but 2019 will be the season where he pays big time dividends for the franchise. Derek Barnett may be an afterthought for opposing offensive coordinators at the moment, but things are going to change for the Eagles defensive end in 2019. Philadelphia’s front
Head coach Mike Vrabel continues to clear about the depth chart pecking order, but should Ryan Tannehill have a chance to supplant Marcus Mariota? The Tennessee Titans are only committed to Marcus Mariota for the coming season, under the fifth-year option on his original rookie contract. The 2018 season was a success in some ways,
Randy Gregory is ready to apply to the NFL for reinstatement. The Cowboys need him to be successful if they want to pressure the quarterback in 2019. DeMarcus Lawrence is the unquestioned leader of the Cowboys’ defensive line, but he can’t pressure the quarterback all by himself in 2019. Dallas needs the NFL to reinstate

This week, we answer whether the Chicago Bears are due for regression, if cupcakes beat muffins and how the NFL looks founding fathers style. Am I crazy for having no faith in the Bears? The defense will be good but it’s hard to be as good as they were last year… And I still don’t
Heading into what could be a make-or-break season, the San Francisco 49ers need Jimmy Garoppolo to deliver. This time a year ago, the San Francisco 49ers were considered a team on the rise. A 5-0 finish to the 2017 campaign, with Jimmy Garoppolo starting under center, fueled that buzz. The decision to give Garoppolo a

If the Packers are to achieve greatness in the 2019 season, it’ll be as a result of their gifted defensive backs. Aaron Rodgers. Matt LaFleur. The national conversation revolves when talking about the Green Bay Packers. It’s for good reason, as without either of them performing well, the team is sunk. However, few units in
Aaron Jones makes my wish list due to his elite acceleration, ability to change direction without slowing down, and excellent receiving ability. In the first two articles in this series, we took a look at why Nick Chubb and Dante Pettis are two of my primary targets in fantasy football drafts this season. Each of
If you haven’t heard, this is a slow time in the NFL. So here is a ranking of the divisions based quarterback and head coach combos. The quarterback is arguably the most important position in any sport. For a team like the New England Patriots, they have been lucky enough have the same guy slinging
The Cowboys are heading into the 2019 season with a Super Bowl title on their minds, but will things go according to plan for Jason Garrett’s team? Jerry Jones and his front office deserve credit for putting together one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. Whether or not the pieces fit together for
Eli Manning has weathered a serious amount of criticism in the Big Apple, but the numbers show things aren’t as dire as they’re made to seem. To refer to Eli Manning as a lightning rod for criticism is to misunderstand the analogy. A lightning rod is intended to take the heat, so to speak, in
The Eagles roster looks much different than it did when it last won the Super Bowl. That will lead to unpredictability from Doug Pederson’s squad in 2019. It’s unfair to say the Eagles suffered from a full-fledged Super Bowl hangover last year, but no one in Philadelphia wants to go 9-7 again this season. That’s
With his third different franchise in as many years, New Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief is creating a positive stir with the club. When you part ways with a pass-catcher who has hauled in at least 100 receptions in an NFL-record six consecutive seasons, questions will be asked and solutions are certainly in order.
The NFL season is still a few months away but here are the completely correct and guaranteed over/unders for each team’s projected win total.

The Raiders are looking for significant improvement in Jon Gruden’s second season. Here are five bold predictions about what Oakland will achieve in 2019. HBO didn’t elect to cover the Raiders on Hard Knocks for no reason. Gruden’s second season in Oakland should be better than his opening campaign, but there will be lots of drama. Any
Whether or not the NFL suspends Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill, expect him reinstated by the team before training camp. After that, we’re in the dark. On July 26, the Kansas City Chiefs will welcome their veterans to training camp. Tyreek Hill will be there. According to league conversations, Hill will be reinstated by
