With the 109th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have traded up for Clemson offensive guard John Simpson.

Washington Selects Saahdiq Charles

With the 108th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected LSU offensive tackle Saahdiq Charles. Despite off-the-field issues with the Tigers that kept him from playing at times, Charles is a talented player who had the skill set to be a Day 2 pick. With Washington trading Trent Williams on Saturday, the […]

Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

The NFL's virtual draft started on Thursday, and while there were some differences -- the virtual boos, the huge number of Zoom screens we saw, the mouths not matching up exactly with all of the words -- it was mostly just a normal NFL draft, with teams making picks and trades and analysts breaking things […]

Three's a Crowd: How Does CeeDee Lamb Fit in Dallas?

I live in the Dallas area, which means I've spent the past few months listening to our local radio stations talk about the NFL Draft. I'm not a Cowboys fan, but all this listening gave me a pretty good idea of how Dallas would attack Thursday's first round, which the team expected to come away […]

Texans Begin Contract Extension Talks With Deshaun Watson

On Friday, the Houston Texans signed left tackle Laremy Tunsil to an extension, allowing them to move on to the next thing on the team's offseason checklist: discussing a potential extension with quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Trey Burton Misdiagnosed With Injury

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton -- who the team just signed -- said that he had been misdiagnosed with an injury last offseason while playing for the Chicago Bears, leading him to rush back to the field. Burton had hip surgery in December and says that he's four months into a six month recovery […]

Texans Extend Laremy Tunsil

The Houston Texans and left tackle Laremy Tunsil have agreed to terms on a three-year extension that keeps one of the league's best young offensive lineman in Houston.

Jaguars Could Trade Up For Left Tackle

The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly continue to discuss a possible trade up with the Detroit Lions for the third overall pick, says NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Jaguars are interested in taking one of the draft's top left tackles, particularly Georgia's Andrew Thomas. Thomas would shore up the offensive line and help protect second-year quarterback Gardner […]

Texans Express Interest In Trading Into First Round

The Houston Texans don't have a first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, but ESPN's Dianna Russini reports they have made calls about trading into the first round. It's unclear what that could mean for Houston, but Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has gone on record as saying that the lack of preparation time this […]

Jaguars Re-Sign Keelan Cole

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to a one-year deal with restricted free-agent wide receiver Keelan Cole, keeping the 27-year-old wideout in a Jags uniform. Cole has appeared in all 16 games for the Jaguars in each of the past three seasons, but he has seen his overall targets, receptions and yards fall off in each […]

Jaguars Call Lions About First-Round Picks

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell has placed a call to Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn about the teams's picks in Thursday's first round. Coupled with the noise about Jacksonville's interest in Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, this news could mean that the Jaguars are preparing to make a run […]

Jaguars Showing Interest In Tua Tagovailoa

Talk of the Jacksonville Jaguars drafting Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been heating up lately, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The Jaguars moved on from veteran quarterback Nick Foles after one injury-riddled year, apparently signaling a move to second-year passer Gardner Minshew. But Minshew -- a sixth-round pick in 2019 -- doesn't […]

No Movement Yet On Leonard Fournette Trade

Heading into the first day of the NFL Draft, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that there's been no movement yet about a possible trade of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, but Fowler does expect Friday to be a busy day on the trade front. It's possible Fournette -- who the Jaguars have reportedly been wanting […]

Does Hand Size Really Matter For Quarterbacks?

So, Joe Burrow has small hands. Nine inches to be exact. It's been the talk of Twitter for a few days. Bud Light got involved in the jokes by asking Burrow to be the spokesman for their new tinier bottles. Pundits are convinced Burrow is going to be an NFL bust because of his hand […]

Trey Burton Signs With Colts

The Indianapolis Colts have signed tight end Trey Burton to one-year deal worth the minimum.

Limited to just eight games in 2019, he finished with 14 catches for 84 yards after […]

Colts Bring Back Marcus Johnson

The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed wide receiver Marcus Johnson, per his agents.

Jaguars Not Married To Drafting A Running Back Early

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has been on the trading block all offseason, and with rumors continuing to heat up about a trade, Jaguars.com's John Oehser was asked what the Jaguars would do in the NFL draft if they moved Fournette before Thursday. Oehser believes that Jacksonville should already target a running back in […]

Running Backs to Stash in Dynasty Pre-Draft

The NFL Draft is traditionally viewed as a time when end-of-bench guys lose value because their teams draft new players to replace them. But 32 NFL teams aren't drafting running backs during this draft, which means that there's value to be found among players who are currently in the league. This is a good time […]

Melvin Gordon to Broncos: Fantasy Impact

Last year, Melvin Gordon held out, hoping for a bigger contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. It didn't happen, so he entered free agency this year, signing a deal on Friday with the Denver Broncos. His two-year deal worth $16 million is undoubtedly less than he hoped for and is far less than the $10 […]

Tom Brady to Buccaneers: Fantasy Impact

Well, it happened: Tom Brady -- arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time -- is leaving New England and signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For the first time in his career, Brady is away from Bill Belichick and the Patriots. This is going to be weird. Brady's fit in a Bruce Arians offense that relied […]

Teddy Bridgewater to Panthers: Fantasy Impact

The busiest thing about NFL free agency so far has been the quarterback changes. Entering Tuesday, we all still thought that the Panthers were sticking by their statement that they intended to enter 2020 with Cam Newton at quarterback. If you follow him on Twitter, you know very well that isn't the case. By the end […]

David Johnson to Texans: Fantasy Impact

Well, NFL free agency has started, and if you thought a global pandemic was going to stop Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien from doing something that the entire football world thought was bad, you were wrong. Just about an hour into free agency, word broke that Houston was trading for running back David Johnson, which […]
