The Houston Texans are among the favorites to land New York Giants running back and pending free agent Saquon Barkley once his deal with the NFC East division franchise expires in March.

It was not a widely popular decision at that time, as the Bills also sent both their second-round picks in the same draft to the Buccaneers. On Tuesday, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane touched on the subject. “We got criticized for how…
The days and weeks between the end of an NFL season and NFL free agency are high time for all kinds of speculations, which Jeff Risdon of Draft Wire attempted to do when he wrote about the Minnesota Vikings’ recent hiring of former NFL gunslinger Josh McCown as the team’s newest QB coach. On paper, getting the services of McCown doesn’t seem to be a move that moves the needle much for the Minnesota Vikings. But since he was also the high school head coach of top 2024 NFL Draft QB prospect Drake Maye, an idea can be formed. The…
