How times have changed for the Houston Texans 3 Years Of Darkness For The Houston Texans For 3 years, things seemed to be getting worse and worse; firing back to back to back coaches from 2020-23, after continually dismal performances, and subsequently missing out on the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft due to the Laremy Tunsil trade back in 2019. However, after the selection of seemingly future superstar quarterback, CJ Stroud, with the 2nd overall pick back in April 2023, and the hiring of almost-Coach of the Year, DeMeco Ryans, fortunes have certainly swung in favor of…

Dak Prescott has been almost constantly backed by Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, ever since talks started about his fist extension over half a decade ago. Backed publicly, that is. Actions Speak Louder Than Words For Dak Prescott’s Future After restructuring his contract, yet again, earlier this offseason, Dak Prescott has reportedly yet to engage in contract talks with the Dallas Cowboys, and vice versa. Jerry Jones has maintained his yearly praise of the Mississippi State alum, recently categorizing Prescott as one of the elite level quarterbacks who have yet to, but are fully able to win a Super Bowl.…

The Minnesota Vikings started draft season off in style when they traded for the Houston Texans’ 23rd overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, in exchange for their 2nd round pick (42) and the Vikings’ 2nd round pick in 2025. Minnesota Vikings Presumed To Be Going For A Quarterback In The Post-Kirk Cousins Era The assumption then, naturally, was that Minnesota was vying to move up into the top 5 picks of the draft to select one of the top QB prospects in a loaded 2024 class. Using their own pick, #11, and Houston’s pick, #23, they could trade…

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a strange building, but not rebuilding; changing of the guard, yet still wanting the core bones of a team that not only won Super Bowl LV, but surprised much of the NFL world by making the Divisional round of the playoffs this past year. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Looking To Improve And Still Move Forward The Bucs have picked and chosen their new additions quite selectively this free agency, chosing to bring in just 5 players, including projected starting guard, Sua Opeta, who impressed as a rotational player for the Philadelphia Eagles, and returning safety,…

The Rashee Rice case continues to unwind its feathery wings. Rashee Rice In Hot Water After Extracurricular Activities Rice has already admitted involvement in a multi-car accident concerning a Lamborghini leased under his name, during which his friend was unauthorizedly driving said Lamborghini in a drag race against a Corvette. The crash reportedly injured multiple people, and seriously damaged multiple expensive cars, and what’s worse, Rice was then seen fleeing the scene of the accident, which in the state of Texas, where the Super Bowl champion resides in the offseason, can result in criminal charges. Now, the impressive, albeit evidently…

Much was made when the Atlanta Falcons decided to bring back former defensive coordinator and interim head coach, Raheem Morris, in favor of coaching GOAT, Bill Belichick. Raheem Morris Finally Gets Second Chance At NFC South Head Coaching Gig Back in 2021, general manager, Terry Fontenot, and owner, Arthur Blank, had the opportunity to hire Morris, whose Falcons team had gone 4-7 with him as head coach back in 2020. Ultimately, they passed on him in favor of at-the-time up and coming Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith. Fast forward 3 years; Smith gets fired after posting 3 straight mediocre…

It has been fairly clear what the Indianapolis Colts’ strategy has been over the course of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd waves of free agency: Keep good players inside the building; add others sparingly and very selectively. Indianapolis Colts Going For Consistency, Rather Than Flashy, In Free Agent Moves And that they have. After finishing a surprisingly impressive 9-8, Shane Steichen’s team have made just 2 free agency acquisitions; Comeback Player of the Year, Joe Flacco, and former Miami Dolphins nose tackle, Raekwon Davis. Whilst few would argue that the Colts are built like a Super Bowl contender just yet,…

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive signings in the 2024 offseason continue. The Kansas City Chiefs Intent On Bolstering Their Offense For The 2024 Season Having bought in Hollywood Brown to beef up a receiving corps that lacked both strength and depth, and which lost Marques Valdez Scantling this offseason, towards the start of free agency, the Chiefs have since signed former Cincinnati Bengals and Minnesota Vikings tight end, Irv Smith Jr., Welsh rugby star – projected receiver/running back weapon, Louis Rees Zammit, and most recently, former Pro Bowl and All-Pro Super Bowl champion quarterback, Carson Wentz. Now, however, it seems…

The Seattle Seahawks had a fairly low-key free agency, with the shrewd signings of some reliable older veterans like linebacker, Jerome Baker and safeties, Rayshawn Jenkins and K’Von Wallace, about the extent of their activity over the March period. The Seattle Seahawks Unbalanced Offensively Questions still remain offensively for Pacific North West’s sole NFL representative, with the future of quarterback, Geno Smith, very much up in the air, and the solidity of the Seahawks’ interior offensive line very questionable, especially after the loss of guard, Damien Lewis, to the Carolina Panthers, One area, however, which has been a consistently strong…
