A year after making headlines for all the wrong reasons regarding player relations with ownership, the Indianapolis Colts are doing right by one of their own. Last offseason, the contract dispute between Colts owner Jim Irsay and All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor left a bitter taste in the mouths of many fans, and highlighted how little NFL teams value running backs. So far this offseason, though, the Colts look like they are rewarding their players for good play. Zaire Franklin, a seventh round pick (235th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft, did not see the field much outside of special…

The Kansas City Chiefs are back-to-back Super Bowl Champions after their victory in Super Bowl LVIII over the San Francisco 49ers. They were the first team to win two consecutive titles since Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in 2003-04 and are looking to become the first team ever to win three Super Bowls in a row (the Green Bay Packers won three straight NFL Championships on two separate occasions). Winning, of course, is hard to do in the NFL, and even though they just won it all, the Chiefs have plenty of work to do in order to be able to compete…

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, unfortunately, has not made any headlines for his play on the field for over a year. Perhaps his most notable recent throw was his final pass as the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, an interception that cost Green Bay a spot in the 2022 NFL Playoffs. Since that play, Rodgers was traded to New York and Jordan Love led the Packers back to the postseason. Of course, there is much more to the situation than just those things. Rodgers tore his Achilles early in Week One in the Jets’ game versus the Buffalo…

The NFL has reaped the benefits of the relationship between Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift. Ever since the couple made their relationship public last September, a new wave of fans taken a sudden interest in the game. And more interest, of course, means more money. Fortunately for the NFL, the relationship appears to be going strong. In addition to Swift attending 13 Chiefs games this season (that the public is aware of; one coach said she was coming to games before that), Kelce has been flying all over the world…

The Kansas City Chiefs are on top of the NFL world in more ways than one. Of course, they are the back-to-back Super Bowl Champions, the first team to repeat since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 20 years ago. Going into 2024, they are looking to become just the second franchise ever to win three NFL Championships in a row. The Green Bay Packers have done it twice (1929-31 and 1965-67). This past season, in particular, the Chiefs saw their popularity around the globe explode. The AFC Championship they played against the Baltimore Ravens drew in 55 million…

The New York Jets had a disappointing 2023 NFL season, to say the least. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers was supposed to elevate the team to Super Bowl contention after he was acquired via trade from the Green Bay Packers for a first round pick swap, 2023 second round pick, and 2024 conditional second round pick. Unfortunately, that did not happen. It sure was a good thing (for the Jets) that the 2024 pick was a conditional one, because Rodgers tore his Achilles four snaps into the season. What followed was a dramatic 7-10 season (again) that saw…

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has seen his popularity skyrocket over the last few weeks. While he was always an important figure in Philadelphia sports, rumors that he may retire following the Eagles’ playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led to more national NFL outlets talking about him. Of course, his presence at Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff games along with Taylor Swift, who is dating his brother, Travis Kelce, only made him even more well-known outside the traditional football fanbase. Earlier this week, the seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time First Team All-Pro announced his retirement from football in an…

The Philadelphia Eagles are bidding adieu to one of the best players in franchise history. After 13 seasons, center Jason Kelce is retiring from the NFL. In what is sure to be a Hall of Fame career, Kelce was named to six Pro Bowls, was name First Team All-Pro seven times, and won a Super Bowl. A leader, both on and off the field, his place on the team will not be easily replaced. Aside from his dominant play on the offensive line, his impact in the locker room, on the sidelines, and in the community will be sorely missed.…

When Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce left Taylor Swift in Sydney, Australia after just a short visit, many of her fans were critical of him. The reason he left was to continue celebrating the Chiefs’ second consecutive Super Bowl win (and their third in five years) with his teammates in Las Vegas. He also reportedly attended a friend’s bachelor party not long after returning. For those that have been critical of Kelce and Swift’s relationship, it was fuel to the fire in their [mistaken] belief that the football star is not good enough for the 14-time Grammy Award…

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the more surprising teams in the NFL last season. Despite finishing 9-8, they won the NFC South and upset the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the Super Bowl favorites, in the first round of the NFL Playoffs. However, with a few of their biggest contributors coming up on free agency, the immediate future of the franchise was cast in serious doubt. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield was better than advertised, but played on a one-year deal. After having a 64.3% completion percentage while throwing for 4,044 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions, Mayfield will be a…
