Reviewing The 2023 Free Agent Class After One Season - Last Year's Best Free Agent Signings

As we wait for free agency to officially begin on March 13, now is the perfect time to look back at last year’s free agents.

Jets Need Offensive-Line Help

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that the New York Jets' biggest offseason need in 2024 is their offensive line, and it's been the case for most of the last decade (if not longer).

Drake Maye Compared To Prominent AFC Quarterbacks

North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, who is one of the top QBs available in this year's draft, has flashed exceptional creativity and aggressiveness as a downfield passer while also exhibiting the ability to create outside of structure.

Is Kirk Cousins A Good Fit For The Atlanta Falcons? 2024 Free Agent Outlook

A 35-year-old quarterback just months removed from a torn Achilles is the cream of the crop in the free-agent market.

A half-dozen teams should examine a […]

Giants Have Pressing Offensive-Line Needs

The New York Giants have so many offseason needs in 2024, but The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll thinks their most pressing need is at offensive line, following a season in which the Giants allowed the second-most sacks (85) in NFL history.

Saints Could Use Offensive-Line Help

The New Orleans Saints tried to select their left tackle of the future in the 2022 NFL draft by taking Trevor Penning, but that decision has bombed, as Penning has started just six games and been benched since then.

The New England Patriots already released cornerback J.C.

J.J. McCarthy A Top-10 Pick?

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks NFL teams are higher on Michigan quarterback J.J.

The Miami Dolphins have questions up and down their offensive line this offseason, both in terms of their starting lineup and depth.

Bears To Meet With Caleb Williams Soon

The Chicago Bears are expected to meet with USC quarterback Caleb Williams after his pro day on March 20, but they initially wanted to talk to him after the NFL scouting combine, which would be incredibly early.

ESPN's Dan Graziano isn't as convinced as most people that quarterback Dak Prescott will get a lucrative contract extension from the Dallas Cowboys.
