I'm not one of those guys who believes in draft grades. It'll take two, maybe three years to really see who won or lost this draft. There are quarterbacks to develop, running backs to scheme, and edge rushers who need to prove they can get past superior blockers to harass quarterbacks. It will take time... Continue Reading →
It's impossible to escape the Lamar Jackson drama this off-season. One of the most electric players in the NFL, there are logical arguments for and against the Baltimore Ravens giving him a long-term, fully guaranteed contract, but while neither side refuses to budge, we're experiencing the most recent example of a franchise tag completely failing...

What's going on with the Lamar Jackson situation? Why hasn't he been re-signed? Why hasn't anyone put an offer in?
The draft countdown drops ever lower. As we attempt to defuse this ticking time bomb known as the annual NFL Draft season, I want to offer an easy way out. Like the paragon of the draft community that I am, I've done all the work for you already; all you have to do is read.... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, reports out of Las Vegas are that the Raiders might be open to trading Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow, two of the team's more consistent weapons in recent times.

For fans decked out in silver and black, many in this passionate fanbase struggle with shades of grey. You are either the best thing since sliced bread or absolute gutter trash and there is...

A couple days ago, I tweeted (@Mart_M24, by the way, and thanks for the follow in advance) that as the NFL's regular season winds down, I can feel the 2023 draft season pulling me out of my football slumber. Truth is that thanks to the whole Deshaun Watson business, I've never felt so detached from... Continue Reading →
Find me a resume better than Bill Belichick's. Since he got his first job in the NFL back in 1975, he's been a part of eight Super Bowl Champion teams and has coached in the big game 12 times. He currently has the records for most Super Bowl appearances, wins, playoff wins, and division championships.... Continue Reading →
It's time to hunker down. That's right. I took my contractually-obligated months-long break to watch football during the season but now, you're going to have to call me Marshall Mathers in 2001, because baby, I'm Back. I've been taking notes on one of those little journalist legal pad things, I've been catching up on all... Continue Reading →
