The Philadelphia Eagles selected wide receiver Jalen Reagor in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The Eagles made the pick hoping Reagor could be the team’s top pass-catcher moving forward. That selection has yet to pan out for Philadelphia, and it might not ever work out. https://twitter.com/Tim_McManus/status/1553377863218372608?s=20&t=0Md6dE9d_kLWYQcNQZCq-g The former 21st overall pick is on the roster bubble, according to Nick Sirianni, head coach of the Eagles. “He’s battling for a spot,” Sirianni said on Saturday. “He is working with the (second team) right now.” These words from coach Sirianni are telling of where Reagor is in terms of…

The San Francisco 49ers officially handed the proverbial keys to the car to Trey Lance this week. However, now backup, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a hot trade commodity. https://twitter.com/JaimeEisner/status/1552413119565152261?s=20&t=4YfA0-rCrUiAJgcvmctWjg The only way Garoppolo could become a hotter asset is if he hit the free agency market. Given his over $24 million salary, the 49ers could cut ties with the veteran instead of keeping him on the team as an understudy to Lance. That would make the quarterback more appetizing to potential suitors. One team with reported interest in the 30-year-old quarterback is the Houston Texans. Jeff Howe of The Athletic cited the…

The Los Angeles Rams drafted cornerback Derion Kendrick late in the 2022 NFL draft. The Rams drafted the corner in the sixth round. With that in consideration, Kendrick making a big splash early on was not the expectation the team had for the corner. However, expectations go out the window quickly in this league. And that is what is happening for the rookie in his first training camp practice. Kendrick defended the Rams’ expected second wide receiver, Allen Robinson, on a play in practice. Robinson was the target standing in the end zone. By the end of the snap, the…

There are four teams in each division in the NFL. Some NFC West teams had a changing of the guard in terms of quarterback play. However, it is still one of the best divisions in the league. It feels like any team could win against each other in this division on any given Sunday. The NFC West, loaded with talent, could be troublesome for the Rams to navigate. However, which team poses the biggest threat to the defending Super Bowl champs? To answer this question, a gander at each team needs to happen. Included in the look-through will be how…

With the 122nd pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Las Vegas Raiders selected Zamir White out of Georgia. The running back is what the Raiders needed after the team declined the fifth-year option on Josh Jacobs. At Georgia, White totaled highs of 5.4 yards per carry and 11 touchdowns in his final two seasons as a Bulldog. The “weakness” in his game was catching the ball out of the backfield. As a Bulldog, White caught 17 balls for 132 yards in three seasons. However, his usage in the passing attack increased each year White played at the college. On the…

Davante Adams spent each year of his eight professional seasons with Aaron Rodgers as a Green Bay Packer. Rodgers threw balls to Adams, and, more often than not, the connection was magical. However, the magic ended this offseason. Green Bay had to make a decision: Let Rodgers walk or trade Adams. There was no way the team could keep both on the expensive contracts they both demanded. Additionally, both players needed new deals. The Packers decided to keep its quarterback happy; in turn, Green Bay couldn’t keep Adams. The organization traded the receiver to the Las Vegas Raiders, the home of…

Players will report to training camp next week. The season is upon us, Rams fans. With the season beginning soon, many high-end talents are available as free agents. Pro Football Focus created an article naming one player each team should acquire before the start of camp. Rather, in the case of the Rams, bring back. The pick for the Rams is a familiar face. He was with the team during the 2018 Super Bowl run, which came up just short of a championship. Ndamukong Suh was the player mentioned for the Rams to pick up. “The Rams only really seem…

The Houston Texans selected wide receiver John Metchie III in the second round of the 2022 draft. He figured to be a great addition to the team, but his career will start later than expected. On July 24, Metchie announced that he recently received a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. In this announcement, shared by the Texans, Metchie said he will “likely not be playing football this season.” https://twitter.com/HoustonTexans/status/1551258612273643521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1551258612273643521%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Farticles%2F10043122-texans-john-metchie-iii-diagnosed-with-leukemia-likely-out-for-season Hopefully he has a full recovery and can return to the gridiron in the future. Unfortunately, that comeback likely will not be this season as Metchie fights his illness. As a…

Kyren Williams is an exciting addition to the Rams. The running back, drafted as the 164th overall pick in the 2022 draft, should be a good fit for the team. Coaches are ecstatic to see him get onto the field and play. However, that might take a little while since he broke his foot during minicamp. The first-year back, expected to return during training camp, could carve out a role for himself in the offense. “He (Williams) got surgery,” coach Sean McVay said in a post-practice interview. “Everything went really well, and we expect him to be back at some…
