The Minnesota Vikings feel like they have enough talent to compete for a Super Bowl in 2024, and now they will have a decision to make when it comes to their starting QB for the season. The Vikings traded up one spot to select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, No. 10 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings were looking for their next franchise signal caller, and the Minnesota brass was sold that McCarthy is the guy who will take the Vikings to the next level. The main question heading into the summer is when McCarthy will be ready to…

The Las Vegas Raiders are in the midst of rebuilding the team’s culture after the last decade has been filled with drama and controversy. Antonio Pierce certainly looks like the right leader to right the ship, but only time will tell. On paper, the Raiders don’t have a roster that makes anyone believe they will compete for Super Bowls anytime soon, but the fan base will have to remain patient. While most of the drama and off-the-field issues with players came before Josh McDaniels took over, there were multiple reports the former Patriots OC wasn’t liked by the players and…

The Houston Texans have morphed from one of the worst teams in the NFL to one of the most polarizing organizations in the NFL seemingly overnight. After winning just three games in 2022 and four games in both 2021 and 2020, the Texans made the decision to bring in former 49ers defensive coordinator Demeco Ryans as their head coach ahead of last season. Ryans was once a star linebacker for the Texans and was widely regarded as one of the top coaching candidates of last year’s cycle. While many people in NFL circles believed Ryans was the perfect coach to…

The Green Bay Packers entered last season with low expectations. It was the first season they would be without Aaron Rodgers as their starting QB —and although Jordan Love had flashed in the few moments he saw live game action as Rodgers’ backup — nobody knew if the former Utah State signal caller had what it took to thrive as a NFL starter. Despite a first-year starter at QB and one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, the 2023 Packers surprised just about everyone in NFL circles. Love clearly cemented himself as the long-term answer at QB for the…

The Dallas Cowboys did it yet again and Dak Prescott — with the season on the line and legitimate expectations for a Super Bowl run from smart people both inside the Dallas building and media/analysts from outside — believed this 2023 squad was different. Why? Prescott was in the discussion for NFL MVP this season and closed out arguably the best regular season of his career. The Cowboys entered the wildcard round matchup as two-score favorites over the Green. Bay Packers, who have a first-year starting QB and the youngest roster in the NFL. Dak Prescott closed out the 2023…

The Buffalo Bills and Stefon Diggs have been synonymous with Stefon Diggs since the AFC East squad landed the former Vikings superstar WR with a blockbuster trade that took place during the 2020 NFL Draft. Diggs immediately showcased chemistry with Bills franchise QB Josh Allen. He tallied 127 receptions and 1,535 yards, both marks leading the NFL, and eight touchdowns in his first season in Buffalo. Diggs earned his first Pro Bowl honor of his career and was voted First Team on the Associated Press’ All-Pro Team. With the addition of Emmanuel Sanders in 2021, defenses struggled to find an answer…

The Dallas Cowboys are going to need to be clicking on all cylinders as soon as opening kickoff of Week 1 in 2024 if this team — and it’s core nucleus — is going to continue to stick around and compete for that elusive Super Bowl they’ve been chasing far before Dak Prescott took over as QB. After the 2023 season abruptly ended, almost everyone tied into NFL circles believed the Cowboys would extend Prescott to free up salary cap space so they could add talent around him and make another run at a winning a Lombardi Trophy  in 2024.…

The San Francisco 49ers may be based in California, but their city is a solid trek away from the bright lights of Hollywood. Still, one former 49ers first round draft pick who spent nine seasons with the team and played a critical role in winning Super Bowl 50 — although it happened during his one season with the Broncos — while earning two trips to the Pro Bowl and in 2009, he broke the record for the most touchdowns from a tight end in NFL history until the record was broken by Rob Grownski in 2011. Vernon Davis helped carve…

The Dallas Cowboys are by far the most talked about team in the NFL and Jerry Jones has turned his Texas-based football team into a global brand. It’s almost impossible to tune into any major sports network without hearing a debate or commentary about the Cowboys — and with the team’s roller coaster ride over the last decade or so — it’s been pretty low hanging fruit. Still, Dallas moves the sticks and brings fans — and haters — to interact with any program where the Cowboys are the focal point. It’s no surprise some of the biggest names in…

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has been a major focal point this offseason and it certainly appears like the veteran signal caller is heading into his most important NFL season of his career so far. Since the Cowboys lost yet another playoff game where they were favored after their third-straight 12 win season, there’s been a ton of speculation about Prescott’s future in Dallas. After the season ended, almost everyone tied into NFL circles believed the Cowboys would extend Prescott to free up salary cap space so they could add talent around him and make another run at a Super…
