If you can’t beat it, ban it. That’s the defeatist attitude the Packers took when proposing that the NFL forbid teams from running the “tush push,” the short-yardage QB-keeper that the Eagles have turned into the league’s most un-guardable plays. On Monday, several media outlets reported that an unspecified team had submitted a proposal asking the competition…
The Detroit Lions find themselves in an interesting spot on the defensive side of the ball as the NFL prepares for free agency to begin. The team has some very talented pieces on that side of the ball with two of the league’s best safeties and an edge who is currently the favorite to win…
It took the New England Patriots a few years to finally find their guy in Drake Maye. Unlike many other organizations around the NFL, the Patriots weren’t in that bad of a position. The Patriots recently had Tom Brady, and while some of the quarterbacks between him and Maye didn’t go as planned, nearly every other team in…
With new head coach Mike Vrabel taking over the New England Patriots, the organization could go in a few ways. The Patriots are in a great position with young star quarterback Drake Maye and the most cap space in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean they’ll make the right moves. Unfortunately, the Patriots will attempt to do what they have…
NFL careers don’t always progress in straight lines. For many prospects making the jump from college to the pros, development can be an up and down affair throughout the first few years.

After three straight seasons with a 12-5 record, the Dallas Cowboys ended the 2024 season 7-10, missing the NFL Playoffs for the first time since Mike McCarthy’s first year with the team in 2020.

Hughlett, 34, had two years left on the four-year, $5.7 million contract extension he signed in October 2022. He was limited to five games last season due to a rib injury. Overall, his 152 games played rank 15th…
The Cleveland Browns are working to upgrade their secondary this offseason. Early on Monday, the team released safety Juan Thornhill, saving $7 million in cap space. Later on Monday, the team signed former Tennessee Titans cornerback Anthony Kendall. The 25-year-old played for the Titans since signing with them as an undrafted free agent in 2023 out of Balwin-Wallace. He…
It’s not the kind of report the Bears need to hear as the combine is about to start in earnest and they’re looking to upgrade the offensive line in free agency. A week after reports the Kansas City Chiefs would not tag coveted free agent guard Trey Smith, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reversed the trend in a way….
The Carolina Panthers have many holes they need to patch this offseason, and while fixing a defense that was the worst statistical unit in NFL history this past year should be a priority, so should finding some weapons for Bryce Young.

One of the Baltimore Ravens‘ best free agents might be headed for one of the NFL’s worst teams. After another disappointing 12-5 season that ended short of the Super Bowl, Ravens’ general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh are faced with 20 players hitting the free agent market next month. One of the biggest decisions will involve starting…
Jake Brendel probably is the worst starter on the 49ers. He’s a solid run blocker who fits the 49ers’ outside-zone blocking scheme. But he’s a liability in pass protection, he’s small and he’s the second-oldest starting center in the NFL after Mitch Morse of the Jaguars. It’s time the 49ers find their center of the future….
