Nick Foles Has The Playbook Down

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy thinks that quarterback Nick Foles has already caught up to Mitchell Trubisky when it comes to learning the offense. Foles has gotten up to speed through the digital playbook and meetings on Zoom despite being traded from the Jaguars two months ago and not having any on-field work due […]

NFL Facilities May Begin Opening On May 19

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to all teams on Friday stating that they may begin reopening team facilities on Tuesday, May 19, provided that they are in compliance with public health requirements in their jurisdictions and governing state and local regulations. Teams may have no more than 50 percent of the staff in […]

Buccaneers To Run More 12 Personnel?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians will stick mostly to the offense that he ran in 2019, meaning new quarterback Tom Brady will have to adjust to the team's scheme while also implementing some of the stuff he ran in New England to make him comfortable. NFL.com's Bucky Brooks expects Tampa to run more […]

Joe Burrow Giving His Input On Playbook

Cincinnati Bengals second-year head coach Zac Taylor is soliciting rookie quarterback Joe Burrow's input on the playbook. Taylor said he's getting more comfortable in his role and feels better prepared to handle all of his responsibilities, which could make him a more confident and composed play-caller in 2020. That starts with building better game plans […]

Jordan Hicks Could Be Ready To Go Shortly After Season Starts

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks (elbow), who likely would've been out until at least the All-Star break under a normal season in 2020 after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last June, could be back within a short time from the start of a reconfigured 2020 season. The 23-year-old has been […]

Aaron Rodgers Wants To Play Into His 40s

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 36, said "the goal is to play into my 40s. That hasn't changed." In his first public comments since the Packers shocked everyone by trading up within the first round to take quarterback Jordan Love, Rodgers also said "he didn't get asked to be drafted by the Packers. He's […]

Jedrick Wills Soaking Up Information From Virtual Program

Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Bill Callahan has been impressed with rookie left tackle Jedrick Wills during the team's virtual offseason program. "He is really a sponge of information. He has absorbed all the content that you can give him and he wants more. I am really excited about him. I am eager to at […]

Patrick Queen Should Start From Day 1

Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Patrick Queen, who fell to the Ravens at 28th overall in the first round of the draft, has the instincts and athleticism to start in Week 1. It's unknown if Queen will play on the weak side or in the middle, but either way, he should be starting right away in […]

Will Richardson Moving To Left Tackle

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that offensive tackle Will Richardson is moving to left tackle full time, with rookie Ben Bartch slotting in at right guard. Bartch was a fourth-round pick in this year's draft, but he should start immediately on Jacksonville's offensive line. Cam Robinson is the team's starting blind-side protector for […]

Jordan Glasgow Could Become Core Special Teamer

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Jordan Glasgow is expected to make the 53-man roster and be a core special teamer from Day 1, in the opinion of Kevin Bowen. The Colts think Glasgow should be able to transition from being a strong Big Ten special teams player in college. While he should be able to make […]

Dezmon Patmon Unlikely To Make Immediate Impact

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Dezmon Patmon, who had just 12 career starts in college, is unlikely to make an immediate impact in his rookie season. Wideouts T.Y. Hilton, fellow rookie Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell and Zach Pascal are four locks at the position. Patmon will be in the mix with Marcus Johnson, Reece […]

Isaiah Rodgers Must Stand Out On Special Teams

Indianapolis Colts rookie cornerback Isaiah Rodgers must become a special teams contributor as a gunner and/or return man if he wants to make the team this year. The 5-foot-10, 170-pounder should get a look as a backup for the nickel spot on defense, but veteran T.J. Carrie could also be a fit there. The Colts […]

Rob Windsor Not A Lock To Make Roster

Indianapolis Colts rookie defensive tackle Rob Windsor is not a lock to make the final roster or earn playing time in 2020. He's in the mix at the deepest position on the Colts roster, which doesn't make it any easier. Windsor is expected to play the one-technique, which would mean backing up Grover Stewart. However, […]

Danny Pinter Unlikely To Start In 2020

Indianapolis Colts rookie offensive guard Danny Pinter is unlikely to start in his rookie season, barring an injury to the offensive line. It's unrealistic that he'd push right guard Mark Glowinski in this abbreviated offseason on top of the fact that Pinter was a right tackle in college. The Colts have talked about Pinter potentially […]

Jacob Eason Expected To Make Final Roster

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Jacob Eason is expected to make the team's final 53-man roster, in the opinion of Kevin Bowen. However, he's unlikely to take a snap in 2020 unless both Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett go down with injuries. Rivers, despite his age, has made 224 straight starts in the NFL. Expect Eason […]

Julian Blackmon Could Open On PUP List

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has mentioned that rookie safety Julian Blackmon (knee) isn't likely to contribute until October, which would put him at around 10 months removed from his torn ACL. That means Blackmon could be a candidate to open the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Even when he's healthy, […]

Jonathan Taylor Will Play From Day 1

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor was drafted at No. 41 overall and will play a lot in his rookie season alongside Marlon Mack, especially with the historic college resume that comes with him. It's possible that Taylor and Mack could switch off series, with one of them working the first- and second-down roles. […]

Dwayne Haskins Has Slimmed Down

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. revealed on his Twitter account that he has slimmed down to 220 pounds this offseason after being listed at 230 pounds in his rookie season in 2019. The former Ohio State star looked like a deer in headlights at times last year, but he did make some progress to […]

Matthew Stafford Not Concerned By Trade Rumors

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't given much thought to trade rumors earlier this year and has always prepared as if he'd be the team's quarterback in 2020 and for many years to come. The rumors started with the possibility that the Lions would draft Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa at No. 3 overall. Stafford also put […]

Raiders Were Interested In LeSean McCoy

The Las Vegas Raiders had been in talks with running back LeSean McCoy before they signed Devontae Booker. The Raiders also had talked with veteran Frank Gore, who ended up signing with the Jets. McCoy remains a free agent. He had a total of 979 yards the last two seasons after running for at least […]

Jedrick Wills Drawing Comparisons To Jason Peters

Cleveland Browns rookie offensive tackle Jedrick Wills, the 10th overall pick in the draft and the second of four offensive tackles to come off the board within the first 13 picks, will shift over to the left side to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield's blind side immediately. He'll have left guard Joel Bitonio, who was selected […]

D'Andre Swift Compared To Josh Jacobs

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift will enter the 2020 season behind 2018 second-rounder Kerryon Johnson, but Johnson's injury issues have limited him to just one 100-yard game since October of 2018. Swift can excel as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield, giving Detroit plenty of options to complement Johnson. NFL […]

Xavier McKinney Might Have Seamless Transition

New York Giants rookie safety Xavier McKinney, a second-round pick in the draft, can do it all in the secondary and should be ready to play right away in Week 1. McKinney's coach at Alabama, Nick Saban, said that his teams typically do similar stuff to NFL teams from a coverage standpoint, making McKinney's transition […]

Cam Akers Has Chance To Be Leading Man In LA

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers, a second-round pick at 52nd overall, has a good shot at becoming the team's leading running back in his first season. Akers has the build and makeup to be an every-down player in the NFL and should be a great fit in head coach Sean McVay's zone-heavy […]

Seahawks, Browns Discussed Russell Wilson Trade In 2018

The Seattle Seahawks talked with the Cleveland Browns about a potential trade that would have sent quarterback Russell Wilson to Cleveland for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Browns believe the idea was "floated" conceptually, but the talks did happen. The placement […]

Deandre Baker, Quinton Dunbar Arrested For Armed Robbery

New York Giants cornerback Deandre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar were both issued arrest warrants on four counts of armed robbery with a firearm, according to the Miramar, Florida, police department. Baker was also charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm for a May 13 incident. A recent article from […]

Seahawks Re-Sign Geno Smith

The Seattle Seahawks officially re-signed quarterback Geno Smith to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Smith will return as the backup to Russell Wilson for the second straight season, pushing undrafted rookie Anthony Gordon to third on the QB depth chart in Seattle. The Seahawks are hoping that Wilson will remain […]

Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler, KeeSean Johnson In Team's Plans

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Andy Isabella (a second-round pick in 2019), Hakeem Butler (fourth round) and KeeSean Johnson (sixth round) didn't have very positive rookie seasons last year, but the team continues to believe in their abilities. "We liked a lot of the receivers in the draft," head coach Kliff Kingsbury said, "but we also […]

Seahawks Expected To Re-Sign Geno Smith

The Seattle Seahawks have been expected all along to re-sign quarterback Geno Smith, and they could make the deal official soon, according to a source. Seattle's current depth behind Russell Wilson includes only rookie Anthony Gordon, so the Seahawks certainly need to upgrade, even if Smith isn't exactly anyone's version of a solid backup option […]
