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, […]

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, […]
