The New York Giants signed quarterback Drew Lock onto their roster on Tuesday and they can still very well be in play for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. With teams making moves at the quarterback position, it appears as if there may not be much of a market for Fields. The Atlanta Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to their roster and that was one of the potential hot spots for him. The Pittsburgh Steelers also signed quarterback Russell Wilson. A few of the other teams that could maybe make a trade for him are the Denver Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders,…

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant went onto Twitter on Tuesday to take out his frustration with the lack of moves Dallas has made so far this offseason.

The New York Giants made a trade on Monday with the Carolina Panthers that sent OLB Brian Burns to the Giants for a 2024 second-round pick, fifth-round pick swaps in 2024, and a 2025 fifth-round selection. The Panthers were criticized for this move because they could have dealt Burns to the Los Angeles Rams for a couple of first-round selections before last year’s NFL trade deadline. To go along with the trade, the Giants were able to sign Brian Burns to a five-year deal worth $150 million, and $87.5 million of it will be guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian…

The New York Giants lost Saquon Barkley to the Philadelphia Eagles in NFL free agency on Monday and WFAN’s Tiki Barber had some strong words for him after that. He said on Monday afternoon on WFAN by saying: “You’re dead to us,” These are strong words said by the former New York Giants running back.

Drake Maye from North Carolina, J.J. McCarthy from Michigan, Caleb Williams from USC, and Jayden Daniels from LSU are the expected names to be called first before Bo Nix. Nix is already 24 years old. Last season…

Starting next week, Kirk Cousins is a free agent and he is free to sign with any team. A name that’s been floating around lately has been the Atlanta Falcons, especially after there were reports that Cousins was planning on moving his family to ATL. With Cousins’ contract having a no-trade clause and a no-tag clause, the quarterback and the Vikings have to come up with a deal or Minnesota has to let Cousins walk. Cousins last season had a season-ending Achilles injury that was torn in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He completed 69.5% of his passes…

However, he caught 56 passes for 714 yards receiving and six touchdowns, along with averaging 12.6 yards per reception. Brock Bowers…
