The New York Giants need to make improvements on its roster and one of the names that was released on Wednesday was former Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White. This was a series of moves that the Bills made on Wednesday to its roster. According to a source that told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Buffalo will designate him as a post-June 1 cut, which will save them $10.2 million in cap space, with $6.2 million in dead money. His contract will remain on Buffalo’s books until then, but he is free to go to a different team as early as next week.…

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce retired earlier this week. He played college football at the University of Cincinnati and he is one of the best players in Eagles history. Kelce is eligible to go into the Hall of Fame in 2029. There is always something unique about every single player’s career. When Jason Kelce began college, he didn’t start as a center. Kelce was a walk-on for Cincinnati and he started his college football career as a running back. Well, that was probably one of the best choices he ever made in his football career. He was in college from…

The Washington Commanders own the second overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft and the Chicago Bears own the first selection. Washington and Chicago will both most likely select a quarterback. However, that may not stop the Commanders from moving up one spot with the Bears anyway. According to Pro Football Focus lead draft analyst and co-host of the NFL Stock Exchange, Trevor Sikkema, he thinks that it can very well happen. Sikkema said on YouTube: “Washington is exploring all options. There were recent reports they were thinking about trading down. I don’t know if they’re going to trade down…

The Jacksonville Jaguars will not franchise tag wide receiver Calvin Ridley and that was one of the biggest trends on Twitter on Tuesday.

Calvin Ridley caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards receiving and eight touchdowns, along with averaging…

The New York Giants may be looking to move on from quarterback Daniel Jones sooner rather than later.

On Monday on the Rich Eisen Show, Rich Eisen made a comment about how the Giants really feel about Daniel Jones moving. He said this: “The Giants are absolutely done with Daniel Jones. The words I heard at the combine multiples times were buyers…

With the Giants playing a 3-4 scheme last season under Wink Martindale and will most likely do the same under new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, they need to pursue an outside linebacker on the opposite side of Kayvon Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux last season in 17 games recorded 11.5 sacks, 50 total tackles, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He is only 23 years old and is going to enter his third season with the Giants organization. Kayvon Thibodeaux was the fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft…
