New Coaches in New Places - Who Will Succeed?

Some things in the NFL never change. Tom Brady is going to take the Patriots to a division title and a first-round playoff bye. At least one wide receiver will become such a diva he will be traded from his team (maybe two!). And of course, the Raiders will stink as long as they continue […]

Collins, who the team acquired from the New England Patriots in 2016, struggled with injuries during his tenure in Cleveland, which affected his play.
