The New York Giants secondary finds itself in a position that is at once very familiar from a year ago and very different at the same time.
Last year, we saw incumbent starter and former first round pick cornerback Deonte Banks pit against Cor’Dale Flott in a battle to start opposite free agent corner Paulson Adebo. It was widely assumed that Banks’ superior athletic traits would carry the day and he would settle into being a good “CB2” opposite Adebo with another off-season of development.
Instead Flott won the battle, never relinquished his starting spot, and earned a big second...

Because of the unique time in the sports calendar when it happened, the Cleveland Browns trade of DE Myles Garrett happened quickly and has lingered in our consciousness without much to move it forward. New Browns DE Jared Verse attended OTAs and spoke to the media, as did Garrett with the Los Angeles Rams, but the big move happened at a time with not much other action going on.
Since the trade, we’ve learned that Verse really was the key to the trade happening, that [GM Andrew Berry made sure a clause was added to try to keep Garrett out...

The Chicago Bears may have taken a significant step toward relocating to Indiana, but the franchise’s future remains unresolved despite Friday’s announcement regarding a proposed stadium development in Hammond.
Shortly after the Bears revealed that their Board of Directors had voted to advance a stadium project in Hammond, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin reported that a move out of Illinois has not yet been finalized.
Cronin shared an update on X, formerly known as Twitter, citing a league source familiar with the situation.
“While I’m being told that the Bears announcement on Hammond is ‘real,’ i.e. not a leverage play, a league...

To those who love football history, I give you Raymond Berry vs. Dick LeBeau. Berry formed one of the NFL’s iconic duos with a quarterback the Steelers once infamously cut. Johnny Unitas and Berry led the Baltimore Colts to a pair of NFL Championships in the 1960s. The latter retired after the 1967 season as […]

Some players you’re excited to see more of in the upcoming season, and some you hope you’ll never see. Matt Hennessy is in the latter group, but that’s not a knock on him as a player. That’s life for most backup offensive linemen, a role that Hennessy is projected to play as one of the newly-arrived Dallas Cowboys in 2026.
Years in NFL: 6
Acquired by: Free agency (2026)
A third-round pick in 2020 by the Falcons, Hennessy spent most of his rookie year in development behind longtime starter Alex Mack. He became the full-time starter in 2021...

The Buffalo Bills used their tight ends effectively last season. Really, since head coach Joe Brady became the offensive coordinator on a full-time basis for the 2024 NFL season, Buffalo has extensively featured their tight ends in the passing game. Given how often Buffalo runs the football, the Bills often find themselves in multiple tight end sets, so it makes sense.
The Bills typically keep three tight ends on their 53-man roster, and this season, they have five tight ends on their offseason roster. Four of those tight ends played with the team. It seems like the positional group is...

In part two of our yearly NFC North Positional Rankings, we take a deeper dive into the defensive side of the ball. Last year, two teams finished inside the Top 10 in Defensive DVOA, while the two who made the playoffs finished in the back half. While some could argue that defense wins championships, it sure didn’t win the division in 2025. A lot of that came down to injuries, especially with teams like Detroit.
That said, 2026 is a new season, and every team starts as healthy as they’ll be all season. With the bulk of the offseason behind...

*Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points assigned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to form a consensus top 10 ranking. We’ll write a story each member of the top 10 and another on others receiving votes at the end. Plus, Mark will probably have...

Early Friday morning, Denver Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper was arrested.
It was the first arrest of a Broncos player during the Sean Payton Era, which is starting it’s fourth year in the Mile High City.
How will Payton react, and what happens next are important for this team.
June is the time for players to come together, teammates to bond and meet one another, and to start to get ready for the next season.

JUNE 6: The NCAA has denied Texas Tech’s appeal to reinstate Sorsby’s eligibility, per ESPN, an expected development considering the nature and extent of his gambling infractions. Receiving an injunction in his pending lawsuit against the NCAA is now Sorsby’s only path to playing college football this year.
JUNE 3: Brendan Sorsby has not given up on playing college football for Texas Tech this year, but barring an unlikely injunction to preserve his NCAA eligibility, the 22-year-old quarterback seems headed for the NFL’s supplemental draft.
If Sorsby elects to go pro this year, he will have to first apply for...
