Trevor Siemian To Have Another Shoulder Surgery

Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Wednesday, and it will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Siemian also had offseason surgery on his non-throwing shoulder last year, but the two injuries are unrelated, and this new surgery is to fix a damaged posterior capsule. Siemian's 2017 was much […]

Bengals Re-Sign Head Coach Marvin Lewis

The Cincinnati Bengals have officially brought back head coach Marvin Lewis on a two-year contract. Lewis has been the head coach of the Bengals since 2002. He has made the playoffs seven times in Cincinnati but has yet to win a playoff game. The Bengals went 7-9 last year and will rely on rookie running […]

Carson Palmer Officially Retires

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer has officially retired one day after head coach Bruce Arians announced his own retirement. This move was not completely unexpected, as Palmer had considered retirement throughout the season. With Arizona seemingly losing several key pieces this offseason, an acquisition via free agency or the draft at the position is almost […]

Blake Bortles Tough To Trust Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will face a tough Bills secondary this Saturday in the AFC Wild-Card Round. The Bills have allowed multiple touchdowns to only three quarterbacks all season and have not allowed a 300-yard passer since Week 8. Bortles is limping into the playoffs with five interceptions over his last two games. He […]

Cam Newton Must Protect The Football Against Saints

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints this Sunday in the NFC wild-card round. Newton is coming off one of his worst games of the season and will need to be at his sharpest against a Saints defense that has nine interceptions over their last four games. […]

Another Name Added To Cardinals Coaching Search

The Arizona Cardinals have added Falcons special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong to their list for head coach. His interview should take place after the team's wild-card game this Saturday. Armstrong's name joins a growing list of individuals who will hope to take over the reins from former head coach Bruce Arians and likely change the […]

Nick Foles Given a Vote of Confidence Going Into the Playoffs

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said, “My guy is Nick Foles, end of story.” After Foles ended the regular season with two awful performances, some Eagles fans were asking for second-year quarterback Nate Sudfeld to take over. Pederson may have given credence to some of the rumors by saying, "If you're in desperation mode, […]

Cowboys "In a Good Spot" With Head Coach Jason Garrett

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones commented on his head coach Jason Garrett, saying, "It's not even a thought for me. ... I think we're in a good spot with Jason." There had previously been some rumblings that Garrett was on the hot seat, but this should more or less quell those rumors. Garrett will return […]

Mike McCarthy Gets Extension From Packers

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay’s head coach, Mike McCarthy, received a one-year contract extension earlier this year. This puts McCarthy under contract through the 2019 season. The extension is important for McCarthy, as he would have effectively been a lame-duck head coach next year due to the expiring contract. There have been a […]

Cardinals Are Slated To Interview James Bettcher For Head Coaching Role

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to interview current defensive coordinator James Bettcher for the role of head coach as early as Wednesday. This will be the team's first interview for the position and demonstrates the beginning of the transition from the Bruce Arians era to a new system. It remains to be seen how this […]

Pete Carroll Sticking Around In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he isn't going anywhere for the 2018 season. Carroll is getting a little long in the tooth, but he will at least coach the team for one more season. Seattle's biggest problem in 2017 was their lack of an offensive line to protect superstar quarterback Russell Wilson. The […]

Bill Musgrave To Remain As Offensive Coordinator

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave will return full time in 2018. Musgrave started off the 2017 as the quarterbacks coach but was promoted to offensive coordinator when Mike McCoy was fired midway through the season. Musgrave is a talented offensive mind and was responsible for Derek Carr's breakout in […]

Sam Bradford Returning To Practice Tuesday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (knee) will return to practice Tuesday. Bradford last played on Sept. 11 before being put on Injured Reserve. The Vikes now have several weeks to decide whether they want to add Bradford to the roster over backup Teddy Bridgewater for the team's playoff run. There's zero chance Bradford is making […]

Deshaun Watson Ahead Of Schedule In Rehab

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) has a chance at participating in organized team activities (OTAs) because he's ahead of schedule in his rehab, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. That's great news on Watson's progress from a torn ACL. Even if he doesn't take part in OTAs, Watson is fully expected to be ready […]

Jets Expect To Be Active In Free Agency

According to New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, the team is set to be “very active” in free agency this offseason. It’s easy to say that now when there is $80 million in cap space currently available, plus the big cuts the team will make with players such as defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson. However, […]

2017 Final Consistency Report - Quarterbacks

I am a mixed bag of emotions because of the end of the 2017 season. I am excited for the NFL playoffs and a chance for the my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to win their third Super Bowl in my lifetime. I am sad because the regular season is at an end and with […]

Christian Hackenberg May Not Be Done In Green Yet

The New York Jets tried their best to hand their 2017 starting quarterback job to quarterback Christian Hackenberg, but Hackenberg proved last summer he is simply not an NFL quarterback (or backup). He was so bad, in fact, that the team didn’t even give the second-year pro any game action when starter Josh McCown went […]

Jets Open To Bringing Back Josh McCown

Quarterback Josh McCown was originally looked at as an afterthought on the New York Jets prior to the 2017 season with the team desperately doing whatever they could to hand the starting gig to Christian Hackenberg. With Hackenberg tripping over himself at every step, though, combined with McCown’s surprisingly solid play, McCown played himself into […]

Kirk Cousins Falls Flat In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had an awful game to close out the 2017 season, completing 20 of 37 passes for just 158 yards and three interceptions. He did rush for a 12-yard touchdown but couldn't get anything going in the passing game. It was the wrong time for Cousins to hit a sour note, […]
