The league’s reigning highest-scoring offense may have struck gold again. Darwin Thompson could emerge as the next weapon for the Kansas City Chiefs. Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs led the NFL in total points and yards. They may have found a hidden gem to help them do it again. Despite the team cutting running

As the Dallas Cowboys attempt to build a championship contender, owner Jerry Jones’ wait-and-see approach in regards to upcoming contract extensions for the team’s stars is risky business. Patience is a virtue. For Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, that’s especially true. After a 10-6 season that saw America’s Team lose in the NFC’s Divisional Round,
Moving Jadeveon Clowney is harder for the Houston Texans now than it would have been even a month ago, but these five teams should have some level of interest. Jadeveon Clowney was franchise tagged by the Houston Texans in March, as talks regarding a long-term deal went nowhere. He has yet to sign the tender,
Jacoby Brissett has always been a backup quarterback. Come March, though, he might be the most talked about free agent in the NFL. Tom Brady. Philip Rivers. Jacoby Brissett. Three quarterbacks scheduled for unrestricted free agency in 2020. Two are future Hall of Famers. The other could make more than either by a considerable margin.
The Dallas Cowboys have to pay a trio of offensive stars this year. Amari Cooper is terrific, but he should be last on the priority list. Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper will eventually be paid by the Dallas Cowboys. It should be in that order, as well. Dallas is having a high-profile summer.

With what has to be increasing concern over Andrew Luck’s durability, just how valuable is backup Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts? After a healthy season in 2018, Andrew Luck has practiced less than five times since April due to a lingering calf strain. His status for Week 1 or beyond is not in serious

The Cowboys openly admit they want Dak Prescott to be their franchise quarterback, but they need to be careful not to overpay the young signal caller. Jerry Jones is under a lot of pressure to ink three big-name offensive weapons to new contracts. Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper all want to get paid.
The Indianapolis Colts enjoyed a miraculous turnaround last season after a miserable start. Can they afford to start slow again? It’s the sort of story best enjoyed in the afterglow. And no doubt about it—it’s a helluva story. Last season, the young, rebuilding Indianapolis Colts experience the sort of historic turnaround that will told for
Matt Nagy’s team came a long way in a short time a season ago. How can the Chicago Bears get to South Florida and win Super Bowl LIV? After finishing last in the NFC North for four consecutive seasons, you had to figure a 12-4 record and the team’s first NFC North title since 2010
Dak Prescott and Tate Martell have a high opinion of themselves that has left them outside the realm of reality and it’s hurting them for different reasons. My internet buddy Shea Serrano always tells people to bet on themselves. It’s great advice because if you don’t bet on yourself, why should anyone else? It’s a
As Andrew Luck’s injury situation lingers, could the Indianapolis Colts survive with Jacoby Brissett starting under center? Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is dealing with a lingering calf injury, as he won’t take part in joint practices with the Cleveland Browns this week and doesn’t appear close to practicing. So backup Jacoby Brissett is in
The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott haven’t come to terms on an extension. Now, word is leaking of an outrageous ask. Be wary of the noise. Dak Prescott is asking for $40 million per year? Insanity. So the reaction goes on social media and soon everywhere else. This over NFL Network reporter Jane Slater reporting
If Jay Gruden wants to keep his job with the Redskins he needs to find a spark. Playing Dwayne Haskins is the only way for him to keep his job. The Redskins seem determined to keep Dwayne Haskins on the bench when the regular season arrives. Franchise officials seem to view Colt McCoy and Case
The Colts know what it’s like to play a season without Andrew Luck at quarterback. The odds are increasing that it could happen again in 2019. The uncertainty regarding Andrew Luck’s health must feel like deja vu for fans in Indianapolis. This time it’s his calf, not his shoulder that seems to have the Colts
The Packers only have a few chances left to ride Aaron Rodgers to a Super Bowl title. Here are five reasons why Green Bay can get it done in 2019. Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to Super Bowl success, but it’s been a while since he’s gotten his hands on the Lombardi Trophy. Officials in
There was a lot of disappointment in the Twin Cities a year ago. But here may be the way the Minnesota Vikings can win their first Super Bowl in 2019. They would have to rank as one of the bigger disappointments of the 2018 NFL season. Off at 13-3 campaign and an appearance in the
We saw the rookie quarterbacks in their first preseason games last week. Here’s what each needs to improve upon heading into their second contest. It’s the preseason. Let’s start there. Anybody making declarative statements doesn’t understand how the NFL operates in August. Schemes are vanilla. Blitzes are rare. Coaches are purposefully putting their teams through
The Cowboys would like to have Ezekiel Elliott on the field in 2019, but Jerry Jones is making it clear that his franchise doesn’t need him. Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout is dominating the headlines around Cowboys training camp. Most NFL pundits agree that Dallas needs him to become a legitimate Super Bowl contender in 2019. Evidently,

The Pittsburgh Steelers got a meager return for one of the NFL’s great players, but in hindsight, it appears to be the right move. Antonio Brown for a third-round pick? A steal. For the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown, 31, has been seemingly out of control over the past 18 months or so. During that span, Brown
This is the time to make some of the best bets of the entire season. There are a ton of odds on the NFL MVP, and these will go down as the best you can make. We are just a few weeks away from NFL football that counts. Right now, we are doing mock drafts
The Bengals should be looking to hit the reset button sooner rather than later to avoid treading mediocrity. Over the last three seasons, the Bengals have been stuck in neutral. Having earned no more than seven wins in each of the last three seasons, they are inching towards another sub .500 season. A vastly-improved Browns
As the Cleveland Browns head toward a new season with plenty of hype, Antonio Callaway has been suspended for four games. After a promising finish last season and the offseason acquisition of Odell Beckham Jr., there’s plenty of positive buzz around the Cleveland Browns. But according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, wide receiver Antonio
Antonio Brown was a distraction in Pittsburgh. In his short time with the Raiders, he’s already transitioned from distraction to disaster. There’s no argument that the Steelers decision to trade Antonio Brown was due, in part, to his irrational behavior on and off the field. The enigmatic wide receiver’s recent behavior in Oakland makes it
Remember when the Raiders weren’t a total joke? Tony Soprano once said “remember when” is the lowest form of conversation. But the head of the Jersey crime family, remember when the Raiders weren’t the absolute laughingstock of the NFL? The Raiders are a full-blown soap opera, so I suppose it’s great they are the subject
