The Titans turned aside interest in the first overall pick last spring to select Cam Ward. He is set to handle starting quarterback duties for the foreseeable future, but it remains to be seen if Will Levis will remain in Tennessee for 2026.

Ward was of course widely expected to handle QB1 duties right away during his rookie season, but he did not spend training camp competing for the top spot on the depth chart. In late July, Levis underwent season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder. Provided he is fully healed in time for next year, the former second-rounder...

This is just the latest chapter in a very sad and frustrating book of the Cincinnati Bengals and wide receiver Jermaine Burton.

The team stated the second-year receiver did not travel with the team to face the Buffalo Bills for non-injury reasons.

Later, Ian Rapoport noted Burton had been dealing with an ankle injury, but reinforced that this decision was for non-injury-related reasons.

Most people will go down the line of speculating exactly what Burton could have done. I don’t feel that is my place. All we know is that the history here is not good.

Burton has already been...

Leave it to Adam Schefter to add some drama to an already tense Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan base. With a massive game for the lead in the AFC North set for Sunday in Baltimore, Schefter tweeted out some interesting information regarding Mike Tomlin.

To be clear, we expect the Steelers to exercise the option.

Not doing so would take some leverage away from the team. Much like the decision teams face with free agents, the Steelers would not want to let Tomlin leave without getting some compensation. In other words, if Tomlin decided after this year to resign, having the extra...

The Cleveland Browns appear poised to keep Deshaun Watson on their 2026 roster. That’s not because of on-field momentum. It’s because the financial math leaves them with virtually no alternative.

According to league sources, despite Watson’s extended Achilles recovery and an underwhelming stint in Cleveland, cutting him next year would be catastrophic for the salary cap.

A pre–June 1 release would trigger a nearly unprecedented $135 million dead-cap hit. Evan a post–June 1 designation would saddle the Browns with $53 million. Keeping Watson is still the most manageable path. That’s despite his league-high projected $80.7 million cap hit. This reality...

This is a huge game on Sunday for both teams. For the Bengals, they’re looking to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Bills are looking to keep pace with the Patriots in the AFC East and solidify their standing in the Wild Card race in the event they don’t win the division.

Joe Burrow and Josh Allen are both incredible this time of the season. It’s hard to bet against either of them with their career records in December and January. That’s what makes this game so crucial for both teams.

There are a lot of great quarterback matchups in...

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a demoralizing defeat on Black Friday, losing at home to the Chicago Bears 24-15. Fans flipped after the team fell to 8-4, calling for the coaching staff to be fired. Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo even had his house egged.

The Eagles’ offense has been under fire most of the year as the unit has struggled. The team as a whole has displayed ‘awful’ energy on the sideline during games.

But, fortunately, the Eagles have figured out how to combat the negativity surrounding the team this season. Philly installed a giant inflatable “positivity rabbit” in the locker...

During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.

The Browns are coming off a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but week-to-week, fan confidence only fell by 6 percentage points down to 45%. I think fans have some to grips that the team won’t make the postseason, but are still invested in what they see at the quarterback position, and assume that special teams is only a ‘this season’ problem that can’t stay bad for long. The Browns’ opponents this week, the Tennessee...

This Sunday, the Cleveland Browns take on the Tennessee Titans. Below, we analyze a few advantages, disadvantages, or general thoughts about the two teams before getting to our predictions for the game.

A Different League

Last week, I was hoping that the Browns could rally together and pull off an upset due to the weather conditions against the 49ers. However, I had noted that, ‘Unless special teams screws things up, both teams should be very even in this game.’ Not only did special teams screw it up, they did it again, and again, and again, and again. Sure, the...

The Steelers’ Week 13 loss sparked a new round of debates about head coach Mike Tomlin and his job security. No changes on the sidelines are imminent, but an important decision on his future will be coming after the season.

Tomlin is under contract through 2026, and the Steelers have a team option for the following year. A firing will not take place before the end of the current campaign, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports to no surprise. He adds, however, a decision on the option will need to be made before March 1.

For several years now, questions have...
