One of the biggest dreams of every NFL general manager is to score a jackpot during NFL Drafts. It is always going to be easier said than done because finding the talent who will have a booming career in the pros isn’t an exact science, as Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters said on Tuesday at the 2024 NFL Draft Combine (via Ben Standig of The Athletic). “With quarterback or any position, it’s people evaluating people,” Peters said. “You’re going to make mistakes, and it’s a matter of if you have a better hit rate. And the more hits you have,…

The Washington Commanders have one of the most precious assets this offseason. It may not be the top overall pick at the 2024 NFL Draft, but it’s the next best thing. The Commanders will be picking second at the draft, just after the Chicago Bears, who are widely expected to get USC Trojans product Caleb Williams. Will the Commanders follow suit and select a new signal-caller as well? The Commanders aren’t tipping their hands just yet, but the smart prediction is that Washington would draft a QB. The Washington Commanders Are Doing Their QB Research At The NFL Combine For…
The Seattle Seahawks are trying to make people believe that Geno Smith remains the team’s starting quarterback. However, rumors have continued to swirl doubting the long-term outlook for Smith with Seattle, especially after a front-office maneuver last week that saw the signal-caller’s contract get restructured. Perhaps tired of all the discussions trying to link that restructuring move to the potential end of Smith’s time in Seattle, Seahawks general manager John Schneider decided to speak about it on Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Via Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic: Schneider classified the contract restructure as a routine cap…
The 2023 NFL season was one for the record books for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua. He began the 2023 campaign as a relatively unknown player and finished it as one of the best offensive weapons in the entire league. He even set a number of records, which he made sure to have everyone reminded of Monday night at the Rams Revealed Live at YouTube Center. Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua Is The Real Deal Here is the Los Angeles Rams downfield weapon sporting a jacket printed with the records he set in his rookie season in…
Daniel Jones remains the top quarterback option for the New York Giants. But as far as the backup QB job for the team is concerned, the situation isn’t all that clear. Sure, the New York Giants will still likely have Tommy DeVito, but Tyrod Taylor is gone. In other words, New York needs to add another QB. Enter Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is expected to hit the free-agent market soon. Vic Tafur of The Athletic raised the idea of the New York Giants potentially luring Garoppolo to East Rutherford in the offseason. The Giants are married to…
Veteran NFL defensive back and Miami Dolphins cornerback Justin Bethel has achieved a lot in the pros. Although he has yet to win a Super Bowl, he’s still got a fantastic resume in the league. Who knows if he would be able to accomplish what he’s done so far in his NFL career had it not for the reality check a former teammate during his rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals way back in 2012. Miami Dolphins Vet Tells Story About Wake-Up Call He Got During Rookie Season Bethel recently guested on Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert’s podcast and…
When it comes to wide receivers expected to be available at the 2024 NFL Draft, Ohio State Buckeyes product Marvin Harrison Jr. has most of the hype. That’s not much of a surprise given the terrific body of work he put together during his time in Columbus. However, there are others who should not be slept on, even though they’re not ranking as high in mock drafts. Take for example Washington Huskies stud wideout Ja’Lynn Polk, who’s been called a “certified baller” by Field Yates of ESPN. It’s an insanely deep WR class and I hope we don’t let Ja’Lynn…
The Cleveland Browns’ receiving corps could improve ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Amari Cooper has always been dependable, but he’s not getting any younger. While he’s still projected to be the team’s No. 1 target downfield in 2024, the Cleveland Browns seem to need another talented and productive wide receiver after a season in which tight end David Njoku finished second on the team — behind Cooper — in terms of receiving yards. To that end, should the Browns make a run at Buffalo Bills pending free agent wideout Gabriel Davis? For Jacob Roach of Browns Wire, Cleveland shouldn’t…
Most signs point to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins hitting free agency this coming March. Unless Cousins and the Vikings agree on a new deal, he will have to find a new team to play for, beginning in the 2024 NFL season. If not Cousins, then who’s going to orchestrate the offense on the field for Minnesota? That could be someone from the upcoming NFL Draft. The Draft Network’s Brentley Weissman has Michigan Wolverines product and national champion JJ McCarthy pegged as a first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, making him a potential successor to Cousins’ throne, though, Weissman also…
The Pittsburgh Steelers still have plenty of time to pick up their fifth-year option on running back Najee Harris, and depending on who you ask, it may be the only contract the former Alabama Crimson Tide star will be getting from the AFC North division franchise. For Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, he feels that the Steelers will not offer an extension deal for Harris (h/t Allison Koehler of Steelers Wire). “I think his fifth-year option could be and possibly will be picked up this season, but I don’t think he will be given a contract extension,” Dulac wrote in his Feb.…
