Here’s a way to get Jayden Reed the football.
Every offseason, I end up spending time looking around the league (and in college) for plays the Green Bay Packers could steal for the upcoming season. It’s a way for me to keep up with football outside of Green Bay, and a chance to find some really fun plays in the process.
As I wrote about a few weeks ago, my focus has been on plays that support more of a Power Spread approach to offense. I looked to the Eagles for a QB run a couple weeks ago, but today...
Player: CB Cory Trice Jr. Stock Value: Down Reasoning: CB Cory Trice Jr. is now an extra step away from the field with the Steelers having acquired veteran Jalen Ramsey. While Ramsey is likely to spend most of his time in the slot, he will also be the first man outside in reserve should an […]

Dak Prescott: Comeback Player of the Year
After an injury-riddled and inconsistent 2024 campaign, Dak Prescott enters 2025 with a clean bill of health and a lot to prove.
The Cowboys’ veteran signal-caller is in prime position to recapture his Pro Bowl form, loading up for a season that will remind fans and critics alike why Dak was once considered one of the league’s elite...
PFT’s Mike Florio recently dropped his list of NFL quarterbacks on the hot seat this fall. There are the usual suspects you’d expect to see there.
There was one quarterback, however, that Florio has proclaimed not to be on the hot seat.
His reason why this is so might come as a surprise. But is Florio right?
First, the player in question is Dak Prescott.
Now let’s examine Florio’s thinking.
Florio points to the contract Prescott signed a few hours before the 2024 season kicked off. In all fairness, Florio does hedge his bet a...
Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets
Good morning Gang Green Nation! We’re in the final days before rookies report to New York Jets camp on July 19. All Jets rookies are signed and ready to report, with one exception: second round pick tight end Mason Taylor. Taylor is not alone in this regard around the league. In fact, every second round pick from the 2025 NFL draft remains unsigned other than the first two picks of the round. The issue involves guaranteed money. The top two picks of the second round in the 2025 NFL draft...
July is the driest month of the year when it comes to NFL news, which makes it the perfect time for something like a top 100 players list. For the fourth straight year, we’re happy to bring you our 2025 NFLTR Top 100 Players.
We’re not the only outlet that does a top 100 — NFL Media has done one with at least some democratic input from current players since 2011 — but our goal is to give more credit to players and positions that are often easy to overlook, especially in the trenches. We build it using traditional and...
TE Tucker Kraft and RT Zach Tom could join five Packers in earning Pro Bowl honors this season.
We’re about a week out from the Green Bay Packers kicking off their 2025 training camp, which means that football is right around the corner. Finally, we’re going to get some real developments on the team as the pads come on for the first time this offseason.
Before we move on to the season, though, let’s make some predictions: How many Packers will be Pro Bowlers in 2025?
Green Bay returns five players who have made Pro Bowls with the team: running...
Scouring the Detroit Lions’ 2025 roster for the deepest and least deep positions.
A team is only as good as its weakest link.
The Detroit Lions learned that the hard way in 2024, when their depth was severely tested across multiple positions. In particular, the defense was getting battered on a near-weekly basis. From losing linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs, the Lions were turning over every leaf to find replacements when the injury bug bit hard.
In fairness to the roster built by general manager Brad Holmes last season, the Lions had proper depth at many of these positions. The...
Chiefs headlines for Monday, July 14
WR - Xavier Worthy
Kansas City Chiefs · Age 22
The former first-rounder could use the 2024 postseason as a springboard to a breakout campaign, and potentially Pro Bowl accolades, should he emerge as the No. 1 option in the Chiefs’ passing game. Worthy’s impressive performance in Super Bowl LIX (eight catches for 157 yards and a pair of scores) and the AFC Championship Game (six grabs for 85...
While Mike Tomlin commands respect around the NFL, his detractors like to point out his absence of a coaching tree. We can debate the merits and validity of this as a criticism of a coach, but it’s also a fact. Tomlin does not have a robust track record of mentoring coaches who have gone on […]
