The 2024 NFL Top 100 List continues to be unveiled, and Lane Johnson came in at No. 41 — for the second year in a row. The Eagles’ veteran right tackle has developed into one of the best in the entire league, and he deserves all the acknowledgement for his role in what can be a dynamic offense.
Johnson is now the most experienced guy in the offensive line room, now that Jason Kelce retired, but the group is in great hands. Year-after-year we’re reminded just how critical it is to have the RT on the field.
He is the...

All of the available leaves have fallen for the Dallas Cowboys in the quarterback market after Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa both got paid.
Forget leaves. The forest has been wiped out.
The Dallas Cowboys have not been shy about it. Despite the fact that history tells us markets only go up at the superstar positions in the NFL, they have been waiting and waiting and waiting again as things relate to Dak Prescott.
We all have opinions on Prescott. You may believe he is the right man to wear the heavy crown of QB1 for America’s Team, or you...

The latest news from around the NFC East division.
It’s going to take some work to make Huff a three-down player.
Bryce Huff was a third-down terror last season for the New York Jets.
However, he struggled to be a three-down option.
Following his 10-sack 2023 campaign, Huff inked a three-year, $51 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. His financial windfall, though, doesn’t guarantee he’ll be able to...

The reality is that this is going to be the last training camp for some players as members of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys saw one of their long-time starters leave in free agency when Tyron Smith signed with the New York Jets. Tyron Smith spent the previous 13 seasons with the team after being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft. Smith has had a tremendous career in the league, being selected to the Pro Bowl eight times while also receiving two AP First-Team All-Pro selections. One could make the case that Smith has done...

The Dak Prescott conversation is going to remain one until he has a new deal in place.
In an interview on Thursday from Dallas’ training camp, quarterback Dak Prescott discussed his expiring contract and the chance that he could join a new team in 2025. If Prescott does continue his NFL career somewhere else, it will be a rare sight for a franchise QB of the Cowboys.
Prescott brought up the history of NFL greats like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and others who didn’t finish their careers with the teams they enjoyed the most success with....

DaRon Bland appears to be picking up where he left off last season.
Many had wondered how Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland would respond after becoming a household name in 2023. The record holder for pick-sixes in an NFL season has set the bar high for himself heading into 2024, that’s for sure.
As the Cowboys wrapped up Day 2 of training camp in Oxnard, California, it looks as if Bland has picked up where he left off last season.
Some players have a knack for being around the football and making...

A review of today’s social media reaction on Cowboys practice in Oxnard.
With the first training session in the books, Dallas was back out today and working hard as ever. There were some impressive plays and noteworthy moments in Oxnard today. Here were some of the most important plays and clips to take note on.
We had an update on the Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb situation.
Head coach Mike McCarthy spoke at the press conference earlier and said what he likes about Ezekiel Elliott.
We got to see some Tyler Guyton out on the sled.

Catch rate is not always what it appears to be
One of the major position battles in camp this year will be at WR. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson don’t appear to have any challengers for the two starting WR positions. After those two, the depth chart heading into camp is likely to contain more questions than answers to a new coaching staff making a fresh start.
The casual fan is probably in the same boat, trying to make sense of seven returning players, one draft pick and four free agent additions. One thing that people will look at to...

What did we learn during Friday’s practice?
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants completed their third day of training camp on Friday at Quest Diagnostics Training Center. Here are some of the takeaways.
Today was my first day as a credentialed member of the media. Eclectic melodious tunes of Eminem and Mr. Brightside permeated the slightly windy, sunny day in late July. After listening to head coach Brian Daboll talk, we took the field to see every day drill periods with position groups. Alone, off on the far field, Gunner Olszewski fielded punts.
Rookie tight end...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally arrived. The Dallas Cowboys suited up and had their first training camp practice of the offseason on Thursday in Oxnard, California.
Yesterday was also the last Thursday of the year that will not feature an NFL game. It might still be 100+ degrees in Texas, but start getting your bodies ready for fall football classics.
Prior to the first practice, physicals were held for all players to ensure they were ready to go for the season.
