Bud Dupree‘s stint with the Titans ended after the first two years of the five-year contract he signed with the team in 2021, but the edge rusher’s underwhelming stint in Tennessee hasn’t dampened his belief in himself.

The 2022 season was a positive one for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as he proved himself as a top-flight starting quarterback in the NFL by leading the team to the NFC title and then cashed in with a long-term contract this offseason. It’s time to stop riding the wave of last year, however. That was […]

A year after the Packers stuck it to quarterback Aaron Rodgers by drafting quarterback Jordan Love, Rodgers stuck it to the Packers.

As recently mentioned, the NFL gambling policy was seemingly written by lawyers for lawyers. The document is not particularly easy for a non-lawyer to understand.

The Dolphins parted ways with cornerback Byron Jones some time ago, but they haven’t realized the financial implications of that move yet. That will change on Thursday.

The Cowboys front office believes that, with the additions of Mazi Smith, Brandin Cooks, Stephon Gilmore and Luke Schoonmaker, they are better.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said in late March that “we all kind of have to temper our expectations” for quarterback Jordan Love in his first season as the team’s starter, but running back Aaron Jones isn’t willing to temper his expectations for the team this season.

Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles is charged with protecting quarterback Russell Wilson during the regular season and he’s standing up for Wilson during the offseason as well.

He hopes to make the same impact with the Rams […]

Tyreek Hill broke the Dolphins’ single-season receiving yards record in his first season in Miami. His 119 catches were also a team record, and he went for 1,710 yards to break Mark Clayton’s 38-year-old team record for yards. Hill wants more this season. His goal is 2,000 yards, which would set the NFL record. “Oh […]
