On TwitterDeveloping Mason Rudolph isn't Ben Roethlisberger's job
Johnny Manziel’s comeback media blitz in the early part of the spring has likely already been forgotten by many football fans, though one exchange does offer an instructive contrast to the way a major NFL story is currently playing out.
Jason Garrett may be on his own during critical season in Dallas
Just a few weeks ago, the idea was pushed by outgoing Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant that Dallas head coach Jason Garrett was consolidating his power by orchestrating Dez’s release.
Special guests teams should have announce draft picks
For several years now, NFL teams, no doubt encouraged by the league office, have turned to an array of special presenters to announce picks in the second and third days of the draft.
Dez Bryant may have to settle for a fit over revenge
Dez Bryant was a focal point of the Dallas Cowboys' offense over the last eight seasons. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t come as a tremendous shock that the team released him last week.
Josh Allen, warts and all, has stormed into the top pick picture
The 2018 quarterback class has been heralded for at least a year as an embarrassment of riches at the top of the draft, with the likes of Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Rosen to be handed the keys to the kingdom for whichever franchises get the chance to draft him.
Are the Rams championship-ready now?
The biggest singular prize of NFL free agency might have gone to Minnesota in the form of Kirk Cousins, but it’s difficult to make the case that any team made more dramatic moves overall the past two months than the Los Angeles Rams.
What's behind the slow-moving safety market?
The weeks leading up to and immediately following the official start of NFL free agency saw a whirlwind of trades and huge money doled out to seemingly every NFL player to ever line up at wide receiver.
There is no more waiting around for a QB during the NFL Draft
The Jets already signed two quarterbacks this offseason and currently have five on the roster. That sort of glut would seem prohibitive for getting another quarterback, and yet there were the Jets over the weekend swinging a trade with the Colts to move up to the third overall pick.
What the Giants should do with Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr.’s four-plus years in New York have been marked as much by highlight catches as they have been by dramatics on and off the field. Sometimes it’s the silliness of messing with a kicking net on the sideline to celebrate touchdowns.
What lies ahead for combine darling Shaquem Griffin
Seemingly every year, there’s the story of a player who greatly improves his draft stock by showing out at the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s enough of a trope that even casual fans are aware of the cautionary tales — the players who were workout warriors but then turned out to be busts on the field.
The Chiefs are no longer playing it safe
Weeks ahead of the official start of the new NFL league year, no team is making a splash — not even the ones hiring new head coaches — like the Kansas City Chiefs.
A.J. McCarron might be the best consolation prize in free agency
A slew of prominent quarterback injuries in 2017 vaulted quite a few middle-of-the-road, or even marginal, NFL quarterbacks into the spotlight. Look no further than Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, who before this past season was two years removed from being a starting quarterback.
Fixing the NFL catch rule: No more 'surviving the ground'
Super Bowl LII was arguably the most thoroughly exciting in the history of the title game. The Eagles and Patriots combined for more yards than any game in the history of the NFL, regular or postseason, and Super Bowl LII missed tying the record for the most combined points in a Super Bowl by one point.
What do the Eagles do with Nick Foles now?
When Nick Foles took over for an injured Carson Wentz in early December, few expected that he would go on to lead the Eagles to the franchise’s first Super Bowl win.
The case for Tom Brady’s retirement if the Patriots win Super Bowl LII
A number of firsts would be unlocked for Tom Brady if the Patriots win Super Bowl LII. He would be the first player in NFL history to win six Super Bowls, breaking the tie he currently holds with Charles Haley.
How to stop a Pats comeback: Never think you're ahead
Now that Tom Brady and the Patriots have reached their eighth Super Bowl together and are closing in on their sixth ring, there’s little point in debating the best dynasty and quarterback of all time.
Case Keenum deserves better than the also-ran description
Once the NFL Conference Championship Games were set, the immediate narrative set forth by pundits and fans alike was that the remainder of the postseason
NFL has made concussion protocol irrelevant in playoffs
Throughout the regular season, in regard to the concussion protocol, the NFL was making it up as it went along. To the degree that the league didn’t even know what it was policing, it makes sense little punishment was doled out to offending teams.
The surprisingly vulnerable NFL quarterbacks going into 2018
The quarterback market in the NFL is never underserved by the press. Fans of just about every team knew by midseason, if not earlier, what their teams' plans for quarterback were beyond the 2017 season.
Is it too early to buy in on the 49ers as a 2018 playoff team?
Had you explained to someone in August that a team would have a statement win over the Jaguars in December, he or should would have expressed concern that you were the latest person to have your brain broken by 2017.
Rule changes that would benefit the NFL most
The week-by-week progress of the NFL can feel like a whack-a-mole game in which each of the issues plaguing the sport presents itself. Sometimes it’s injuries, sometimes it’s the league running up against a larger culture war being waged, and sometimes it’s inconsistent or incoherent disciplinary action.
NFL puts safety entirely on players, again
The gruesome Week 13 Monday night game between the Steelers and Bengals brought back into focus the potential for extreme violence in football that has made so many fret for its future.
The NFC playoffs will be loaded from top to bottom
In a year of upheaval in the NFC playoff picture, Sunday night restored a bit of order. As it stands, the only 2016 NFC playoff team that would qualify for the postseason this year is the Seattle Seahawks — yes, the team that has represented the conference in the Super Bowl two out of the last four years.
How did Cover 2 collapse the creative Chiefs offense?
An incredible change of fortune is playing out in the AFC West. Whereas the Chargers are trying to become the first team to start 0-4 and make the playoffs
The Eagles are soaring but to what heights?
It’s been apparent for several weeks now that the Philadelphia Eagles are among the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. On a weekend when Philly rolled the defending NFC East champs and the Los Angeles Rams stumbled in Minnesota, the Eagles’ case for being the team to beat became that much stronger.
