Technically speaking, Russell Wilson is still with the Denver Broncos, but he’s good as gone after the team announced that they are going to release the Super Bowl-winning quarterback once the NFL calendar flips to a new year. But the Broncos will continue to feel the presence of Wilson even when he’s no longer around in Mile High City and that’s because of the massive dead cap his Denver will be incurring once he’s cut. The Denver Broncos Could Part Ways With Garett Bolles Ahead of 2024 NFL Free Agency With such a stressful cap situation for the Broncos, the…

Although Ohio State Buckeyes product Marvin Harrison Jr. is still widely regarded as the best wide receiver prospect at the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, there is one name that seems to be starting to gain ground as Harrison’s closest competition: Rome Odunze. Will Ryan Odunze Get Picked First At The 2024 NFL Draft Before Marvin Harrison Jr.?  Bruce Feldman of The Athletic recently revealed murmurs within the NFL community that Odunze has been more interested in the former Washington Huskies wide receiver than Harrison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsB-XXTtzQI “One last note on the wideouts. I don’t believe Rome Odunze will get picked before…

The Derrick Henry NFL free agency sweepstakes is rapidly approaching, and the Baltimore Ravens are among the teams chiefly involved in rumors connected to the running back’s next landing spot. One reason the Ravens are rumored as such is that they only have three running backs with contracts for the 2024 season: Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Owen Wright (via Spotrac).  The need for a true No. 1 running back was reiterated by Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. “It’s up in the air,” Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said referring to his team’s running back room (via Jamison Hensley…

The New York Jets started the 2023 NFL season full of hope that at last, with Aaron Rodgers running the offense on the field, they would be seriously contending for the Super Bowl title. That dream quickly went up in flames the moment Rodgers fell to the ground in Week 1 in pain. Essentially, Rodgers’ injury officially ended the season right away for the Jets. That disastrous 2023 campaign led to New York Jets owner sending a not-so-subtle message to head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas that the 2024 NFL season will determine whether they would continue…

There will never ever be another Bill Belichick. Even though Belihick’s final seasons as head coach of the Patriots were big disappointments, that will never change his monumental impact and influence on the franchise. Now that Belichick is no longer calling the shots for the Patriots and with Jerod Mayo succeeding him, the Patriots are now in the process of an intriguing transitory phase as they go from arguably the greatest head coach in pro football history to Mayo, who had zero head coaching experience before accepting the job. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft understands the significance of Belichick’s…

Back in 2022, then-NFL prospect Kyle Hamilton, now with the Baltimore Ravens, saw his NFL Draft stock dip after a relatively poor performance during that year’s NFL Draft Combine. Even though he was regarded as one of the best defensive backs of his batch, he fell all the way down to the No. 14 spot. For data analyst Matt Edwards, the idea that other teams passed up on him just because the former Notre Dame Fighting Irish posted a 4.59-second time at the 40-yard dash was “comical” (h/t Marcel Louis-Jacque of ESPN). The concern about Hamilton’s speed was surprising to…

Baker Mayfield is still without an extension deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which means he is on track to become a free agent this March. The general assumption is that he and the Buccaneers will eventually run it back with a new deal. But until he puts ink on paper, there will always be speculations about his potential to play somewhere else. How about the idea of Mayfield playing for the New England Patriots? NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah recently floated the idea that the Patriots could be the next home of the former No. 1 NFL Draft pick. “We’ve…

The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a big bounce-back season in 2024 after missing the playoffs in the 2023 campaign. They are also looking forward to the additions they are going to make at the 20234 NFL Draft, as it offense an opportunity for the AFC North division franchise to inject youth into the roster and address at least some of the team’s weaknesses. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expecting the team’s incoming rookies to contribute right away. “We need the guys that we draft to come in and be productive and take on the leadership roles that…

Since Joe Burrow arrived in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals have been a force on offense. However, they failed to make the playoffs in the 2023 NFL campaign in large part because of key injuries on the team, including that of Burrow’s. That was reiterated recently by the Bengals quarterback when he opened up about his injury and the journey back to 100% form (via Ben Baby of ESPN). “Like I said, the injuries were what they were last year, but we weren’t good enough in a lot of different places to make a Super Bowl run in my opinion,”…

Mac Jones used to give the New England Patriots hope that there’s life after Tom Brady. In his first season in the NFL back in 2021, Jones, who was selected 15th overall in that same year’s draft, passed for nearly 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns against 13 interceptions, while also earning a nod for the Pro Bowl. It hasn’t been that great again since for Jones, to say the least. It’s gotten so bad that he’s already being rumored as a trade candidate for the Patriots in the 2024 offseason. Is The End Of Mac Jones’ Time With The New…
