Basham has been a healthy scratch

The New York Giants waive EDGE rusher Carlos “Boogie” Basham on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. New York acquired Basham from the Bills in late August 2023 for a 2025 late-round pick swap. Basham played 194 snaps last season and just 16 snaps, all in Week 6 against the Bengals this year.

Basham had zero pressures across 95 pass-rushing snaps as a Giant. Joe Schoen was on the Bills’ staff who drafted Basham out of Wake Forest in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Despite the injury to Kayvon Thibodeaux, Basham...

Even key contributors returning from injury might not be enough to help the Cowboys.

Injuries, of course, are part of the game in the NFL, but the Dallas Cowboys seem to have been bitten by the injury bug harder than usual this year. They've had several key contributors sidelined due to various degrees of injuries so far this season, but fortunately a number of them could be making their triumphant return to the field shortly.

For the 3-3 Cowboys, this is good news. Any team who has some of their best players sidelined usually struggle to string wins together with...

In pursuit of his third MVP award, Lamar Jackson stakes his claim as the best QB in football, surpassing Patrick Mahomes in the odds.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams isn’t convinced that changing up plays is the solution to the team's fortunes.

With two wins in their last three games, the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to turn their season around. Getting a key defensive player back would help, which the team hopes to do ahead of Week 8.

The team’s top linebacker and 2023 leading tackler, Foyesade Oluokun, is set to make his return from injured reserve in the coming weeks, per Ian Rapoport. The Jaguars opened his 21-day practice window on Oct. 22 and hope to have him back into the lineup as soon as Week 8. Oluokun has missed Jacksonville’s past four games, which is the minimum requirement for injured...

The New York Giants are parting ways with defensive end Boogie Basham per a report.

Basham, 26, was a second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills (61st overall) back in 2021 out of Wake Forest. Giants general manager Joe Schoen was the Bills’ assistant GM at the time Basham was drafted.

Basham was traded to the Giants before the start of the 2023...

A tale of two halves: It was the worst of times before the best of them followed.

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. It was the age of play-calling wisdom, it was the age of coaching foolishness, it was the epoch of disbelief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was hopefully the season of light.

At the risk of modifying too much of Charles Dickens’ seminal work “A Tale of Two Cities” — I will simply note that it was a tale of two halves for the Buffalo Bills against the Tennessee Titans...

There’s an old-school and new-school way to approach play-action. The old school is believing you must need a strong running game to open play-action. The new school says that’s not required and an offense just has to sell the fake, even if the running game isn’t statistically strong. It’s no surprise that Mike Tomlin is […]

While some might not feel that way due to its sheer brutality, American football can be a thinking man’s game. That could be why when Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh channels philosophy in his coaching. After the Chargers’ latest loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Harbaugh called upon the wisdom of the late Nelson Mandela to provide insight into where his team stands.

“There’s a taste in the mouth. You got to suck it up. And not really much to talk about,” Harbaugh said. “Nelson Mandela said, ‘I don’t lose. I either win or I learn.’ And to me...

Jerry Jones buried the hatchet following last week’s radio interview, during which he threatened to have the hosts fired.

When Cowboys owner Jerry Jones returned to the 105.3 The Fan airwaves in Dallas Tuesday morning, he wasn’t exactly apologetic as he said, “I don’t have anything to say about last week,” he responded when asked about the controversy at the top of the segment. “I’m surprised that last week got the attention it got.”

Despite what he said, Jerry Jones spoke on the matter for several minutes, stating he’s used to taking tough questions and that the weekly radio interviews...

The NFC North makes up four of the five best records in the NFC standings.

Now that the NFL regular season is roughly halfway done, let’s start taking a weekly look into the NFC playoff picture. As it stands today, all four teams in the NFC North have two or fewer losses. For reference, the rest of the NFC combines for two teams with two or fewer losses.

To say the least, the NFC North is highly competitive. According to ESPN, the three teams most likely to make the NFC playoffs are all in the NFC North. You can pretty...
