Although the Cleveland Browns have the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the organization has extensive draft capital beyond that selection. The Browns will be looking to stock their roster with young, relatively inexpensive talent to help the organization make a run at next year’s playoffs. Beyond some of the team’s obvious needs,…
The Baltimore Ravens finished their week of practice Friday and once again have a very short injury report to take with them into the weekend. Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) is officially doubtful to play Sunday evening against the Buffalo Bills. Flowers failed to practice all week, but the Ravens aren’t officially declaring him out just yet. Flowers,…
The Chicago Bears appeared to be losing out on the bid to land Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach. The Las Vegas Raiders and minority owner Tom Brady have made bold pitches to land the 38-year-old offensive mind. Johnson met with the Bears in a virtual meeting last week. He cannot interview with the Bears…
The Carolina Panthers had an abysmal defense last year. They ended up allowing more points than any team in the history of the NFL. There are holes everywhere, but linebacker was one that proved to be troublesome. Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace were serviceable when they were on the field, but the depth behind them was pretty awful. The…
The Pittsburgh Steelers brought a familiar face back into the fold by signing wide receiver Lance McCutcheon to a reserve/futures contract on Tuesday. McCutcheon had previously signed to the Steelers’ practice squad back on Oct. 14 after they released Jaray Jenkins. He was never elevated, however, and was eventually released on Nov. 12 after Pittsburgh…
Like it or not, Mike Tomlin will have a bust in Canton someday. He’s never had a losing season in 18 years as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, only Bill Belichick and Tom Landry have more consecutive non-losing seasons. But with Tomlin not having won a playoff game in nearly a decade, many think his…
The Pittsburgh Steelers are positioned to bring back much of its coaching staff after 2024’s collapse, trusting head coach Mike Tomlin and the pursuit of continuity with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. After the struggles the Steelers’ faced down the stretch and the mess of a game that ended their…
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said during his season-ending press conference on Tuesday that he expects changes on a lot of levels. It’s been a few days and nothing has happened, however. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and offensive line coach Pat Meyer are still employed by the Steelers. Adam Schefter of ESPN thinks it…
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaching staff has been under a ton of scrutiny at the end of the 2024 season. The team ended the year on a five-game losing streak and added another first round playoff loss to the record books — the fan base is understandably frustrated. The Steelers struggled in all areas of the…
The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be at a crossroads with how they move forward, given their late-season slump. The firing of former Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada and the hiring of Arthur Smith had led to some big expectations for 2024. They had invested heavily in the offensive line over the past few drafts, brought new…
The only three teams standing in front of the Texans and their first Super Bowl appearance were on their schedule this past season. That sometimes makes these little features more tricky as we try to think of new topics of discussion. The Chiefs and Texans just saw each other a month ago, so not a…
After finishing QB11 in his rookie season, C.J. Stroud regressed in year two, finishing as the QB18 in 2024. Stroud still took the Texans to their second straight playoff berth despite the poor offensive numbers. What version of Stroud will we see in 2025: his sensational rookie season or disappointing sophomore slump? Here is the…
