The New England Patriots are certainly entering a new era. When they 2024 season finally begins, they will have a new quarterback after trading former first round pick Mac Jones to his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, the 2024 season will also mark the franchise’s first season without legendary head coach Bill Belichick, who led the team to six Super Bowl titles during his tenure. Under the leadership of Jerod Mayo, the Patriots, who finished last season 4-13, will look to begin rebuilding the team to its former glory. With the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL…

The Kansas City Chiefs know all about bad breakups. Just a few years ago, they traded All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins in what was a controversial decision. While Hill has seen personal success with the Dolphins, it is the Chiefs who have won two Super Bowl championships since the trade went down. The initial deal and the team’s success without him has led to some perceived bad blood between the two parties. Nine-time Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce, who of course witnessed the divorce between Kansas City and Hill first-hand, also has a incredibly popular…

The Minnesota Vikings are well on their way to solidifying their starting offense in 2024. Of course, this entails measures that they did not think they would need to take at this point a year ago. At this point last year, Minnesota was coming off of a 13-4 season that saw them win the NFC North. With just a few tweaks to the roster, the Vikings should have been a Super Bowl contender in 2023. Unfortunately for them, that did not happen. Their rushing attack on offense disappeared and they were fourth-worst rushing team in the NFL last season. Kirk…

The Minnesota Vikings are going to look very different than they did in 2023, especially on offense. The reasons for this, of course, is because last season did not go as planned. Coming off of a 13-4 record and NFC North title in 2022, the Kirk Cousins-led Vikings were supposed to dominate the division again, and perhaps even compete for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they missed running back Dalvin Cook more than they could have thought they would. Minnesota had the fourth worst rushing offense in the NFL, averaging just 91.4 rushing yards per game in 2023. Alexander Mattison had…

The New York Jets lit the NFL on fire in the spring of 2023 when they traded for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately, the hype that surrounded the Jets throughout the offseason and their Hard Knocks documented training camp was greater than their regular season outcome. Rodgers tore his Achilles early in Week One and New York finished 7-10 for the second year in a row. Even before the 2023 NFL season ended, there were plans being laid (or suggested by the media) for how the Jets could better build around Rodgers. While they certainly need more receiving weapons following…

The Green Bay Packers are certainly shedding a great deal of salary cap space as NFL free agency inches closer and closer. Yesterday, news broke that they had released 2021 All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, clearing over $10 million of space over the next two seasons. Today, David Bakhtiari announced on social media that his 11-year tenure in Green Bay has come to an end. These moves, which free up close to $25 million in salary cap space this offseason, will undoubtedly be used by Brian Gutekunst to pursue some high-level free agents, something Green Bay is not known to do very often.…

The Green Bay Packers had a very different future in mind when they signed David Bakhtiari to a massive four-year $92 million contract in 2020. At the time of the signing, Bakhtiari was a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time First Team All-Pro well on his way to a Hall of Fame career. Making him one if the highest paid left tackles in the game only made sense. But then Bakhtiari tore his ACL on New Years Eve in 2020. The injury very well have been one of the reasons Green Bay did not appear in the Super Bowl that year…

The Green Bay Packers were one of the most surprising teams in the NFL last season. Jordan Love, who took over as the starting quarterback following the Packers’ trade of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, overcame a slow start to the 2023 season to have the best first season by a starter in Green Bay’s long history. So too, the team’s first and second year pass catchers overcame inconsistent starts to help lead the Packers back to the postseason. The Green Bay defense, however, was terribly inconsistent all season long. What was the most disappointing part of this…

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is truly living his best life. The nine-time Pro Bowler just won his third Super Bowl in three years and has been raking in millions of dollars worth of new endorsement deals. He and his brother, Jason Kelce (who just retired after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles), were recently honored at a Cleveland Cavaliers game where their foundation, the New Heights Schools Foundation, was given a $10,000 donation. Of course, Kelce’s rise in popularity has a great deal to do with his relationship with Taylor Swift, the 14-time Grammy Award winner and…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been the talk of the NFL for the past 10 hours. Around midnight early Monday morning, free agent quarterback Russell Wilson revealed that he plans to sign with the Steelers. The nine-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl Champion was released by the Denver Broncos after a tumultuous season with head coach Sean Payton. According to reports, Wilson will be paid $1.2 million by Pittsburgh on his one-year contract with them. This means that Denver will be on the hook for $38 million of Wilson’s salary this season. His $85 million dead cap hit with the…
