The Denver Broncos have just eight picks in the 2024 NFL Draft and with so much change in the organization and unknowns with Sean Payton entering Year 2, the organization is in desperate need of all the assets it can acquire. . In order to acquire more draft capital, Payton and the Broncos front office may have to continue parting ways with their All-Pro offensive linemen, Garrett Bolles. Nothing is guaranteed in the world of professional sports. The NFL is a business, yet Bolles has expressed his desire to remain in the Mile High City. Garrett Bolles told Mike Klis…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a significant void to fill at wide receiver. The team traded Dionte Johnson to the Carolina Panthers and with Russell Wilson now locked in as the team’s starting QB for 2024, it will be critical to surround him with as many weapons as possible to set the offense up for success. While the Steelers have signed Van Jefferson and added Quez Watkins since trading away Johnson, those two wideouts combined for only 351 receiving yards during 2023. Other than George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers do not have a wide receiver signed on their 2024 roster who…

The Dallas Cowboys always have some of the most fascinating storylines in the NFL, but heading into 2024, it’s almost impossible to predict what Jerry Jones and company have planned. If you listen to Jones, he’s sticking by his statement that Dallas is going “all in” for 2024 with the goal to finally get over the playoff hump and secure another Lombardi Trophy. That logic made sense following the Cowboys’ early exit from the playoffs. They had a team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and their franchise QB Dak Prescott, was leading the MVP conversation for…

Aaron Donald has ridden off into the sunset, but he still has his opinion on a Rams player destined to shine. You could make the case that Donald is the greatest player in franchise history. His 176 tackles for a loss are nearly double the next-closest player (89, Leonard Little), his 111 sacks are 22.5 more than anyone else and his 260 quarterback hits are more than double Robert Quinn’s 108, which is second in franchise history. Granted, sacks didn’t become an official stat until 1982, but based on Pro Football Reference’s unofficial numbers, only Deacon Jones (159.5) and Jack…

The New York Jets have plenty of quarterbacks currently on the roster. That doesn’t mean that the team should ignore finding a long-term developmental backup behind  Aaron Rodgers — and if last year taught them anything — a bevy of capable signal callers can be critical to a team pushing through if their starting QB goes down with an injury. Tyrod Taylor will likely serve as QB2 this season. He signed a two-year deal worth up to $18 million with playing time incentives that suggest he’ll be the backup. However, at 34 years old, Taylor is unlikely be much more…

The Dallas Cowboys have several question marks surrounding their plan at the quarterback position for the future. The Cowboys were rolling again in the 2023 regular season with Dak Prescott — but yet again, with the season on the line and legitimate expectations for a Super Bowl run  — Dak an the Cowboys lost when it mattered the most. Last year truly felt different. Prescott was in the discussion for NFL MVP this season and closed out arguably the best regular season of his career. Dak Prescott closed out the 2023 regular season ranked in the top five in…
