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…

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has been a major focal point this offseason but now he’s in the news for far more serious reasons. 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 Bowl in 2024. Instead, Jerry Jones surprised everyone and stated he…

The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be heading into 2024 with the hopes of contending for a Super Bowl, although despite Mike Tomlin never finishing with a losing season since taking over as head coach, it’s been a long time since his squad was in true contention for another Lombardi Trophy. The Steelers made drastic — and team friendly — moves at the most important position in the NFL by bringing in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, two previous starters for almost no cost at all. All of the reports point to Wilson getting the nod as the Pittsburgh Steelers starting…

The Kansas City Chiefs have been in the headlines for the wrong reasons lately as they attempt to win their third-straight Super Bowl in 2024. Last month, starting WR Rashee Rice was allegedly involved in a felony hit-and-run where he fled the scene of the accident. The criminal case is still pending but the expectation is Rice will miss at least half of the season if not more. Over the weekend, another recent Kansas City Chiefs player found himself in trouble with the law and it isn’t the first time. Former Chiefs defensive back Bashaud Breeland was arrested over the…

The New York Giants have a tall task ahead of them heading into 2024. With Brian Daboll entering his third year as the team’s head coach, the Giants are expected to compete for the NFC crown. It wont be easy in a division that includes the Dallas Cowboys (12-4) last season, the Philadelphia Eagles who have loaded up with talent in free agency and in the draft and the Washington Commanders who have cleaned house and will be taking the field with a dynamic dual-threat QB. There was a belief the Giants would aggressively pursue a quarterback in the 2024…

The Dallas Cowboys entered the offseason with several franchise-altering moves expected to be made, but here we are at the start of May, and little has been done to bolster a roster that lost significant talent on both sides of the ball. Owner Jerry Jones has made it clear the Cowboys are going “all-in” for 2024 and decided to retain Mike McCarthy for one more season to see if he can get Dallas past the first round in the playoffs and possibly reach the Super Bowl expectations Jones expects. After a fantastic regular season where Dallas won the NFC East…
