If the Arizona Cardinals are going to have a bounce-back campaign in 2024, it’ll likely be on the back of another great year from their promising tight end, Trey McBride. The Colorado State product was one of the rare bright spots for the Arizona Cardinals, who missed out on the playoffs after finishing the 2023 campaign at the bottom of the NFC East with a 4-13 record. But more importantly, Trey McBride has hit it off with their quarterback, Kyler Murray, which should only benefit the team in the long run. And since they’re equipped with the fourth overall pick…

The 32-year-old signal-caller addressed the criticism through his recent interview at the Two Gs in a Pod show with James Jones and Amber Theoharsis by saying that he could’ve been a better quarterback for Michael Thomas. So, what happened between Michael Thomas and Derek Carr? Michael Thomas blamed his season-ending knee injury on Derek…

Danielle Hunter plans to let his situation play out as he is about to enter free agency again this upcoming offseason. Last summer, the four-time Pro Bowler agreed to a one-year, $20 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. However, now that the 2023 campaign is over, if the Minnesota Vikings plan to keep him, they may have to sign him on a similar (or better) deal, which could be a problem due to cap constraints. Danielle Hunter’s Minnesota Vikings stint so far Danielle Hunter has spent his entire eight-year NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. The 29-year-old came to the…

The Dallas Cowboys may no longer have to look far to find their replacement for Dan Quinn if they take into consideration Trevon Diggs’ suggestion, as the 25-year-old cornerback recently shared who he prefers to be the next Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator. “Al Harris for DC,” wrote Diggs on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account on Friday. But while getting an in-house replacement like Al Harris, their current defensive backs coach, for Dan Quinn is the sound choice for the Dallas Cowboys, the uncertainty over head coach Mike McCarthy’s long-term future with the squad may be the reason why…

The Washington Commanders are gearing up ahead of the 2024 NFL season, and they are off to a good start. After hiring former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to be the Washington Commanders’ next head coach, Jahan Dotson perhaps wants to kick things up a notch, as he made a hilarious pitch to recruit another key member of the Cowboys. The Washington Commanders wide receiver made a post on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account with an old January headline of Micah Parsons saying that he might join Dan Quinn wherever he goes if he leaves Dallas, making…

Isaiah Rodgers shared his perspective on the suspension he received from the NFL for breaking the league’s anti-betting policy while he was still a member of the Indianapolis Colts. In a recent interview with ESPN, the Philadelphia Eagles cornerback clarified that he made the bets on behalf of others, not for himself, while using his online sports betting account. “Just trying to help friends and family out, just knowing that it wasn’t legal at the time in Florida, and it was in Indiana,” said Rodgers. “At the end of the day, I knew the rules. I wasn’t supposed to do…

Daniel Jones had a career-best season in 2022, which earned him a four-year $160 million extension. However, he regressed a ton this year and was eventually sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL. After an injury-riddled 2023 campaign, the New York Giants quarterback has been busy with his rehab as he looks to get back to 100 percent when the team opens their training camp later this year. New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen recently made an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Thursday, as he provided an update regarding Daniel Jones’ progress while…

Bryce Young, the top overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, struggled to live up to the hype. In 16 games, the former Alabama signal-caller recorded 2,877 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for a 59.8 completion percentage. He also had six lost fumbles and was sacked 62 times, which is the second-worst mark behind Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell in 2023. So when the Carolina Panthers brought in Dave Canales to be their next head coach, he was given the task of turning Bryce Young and the team’s fortunes around after an ugly 2-15 season. Fortunately, according to…

If the Indianapolis Colts make it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, it will likely be on the back of a solid sophomore campaign by Anthony Richardson, the quarterback that they drafted fourth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. Anthony Richardson only managed to play four games because he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. Since then, backup quarterback Gardner Minshew has taken over as the starter, and they finished with a 9-8 record, one win shy of a playoff berth. For most Indianapolis Colts fans, it’s a case of…
