Signing Revis would be a mistake in my opinion. The notion that a Revis, Patriots union is possible is ludacris. If the Patriots move on from Malcolm Butler, the last guy they should bring into their building is Darrelle Revis. Revis is…

By all accounts, Lynch is in great shape and those around him think…
By John Sarianides The Minnesota Vikings signed free agent running back Latavius Murray to a three year deal late last night. Murray’s signing means that the Vikings are not going to re-sign franchise rushing leader Adrian Peterson to a new deal. AP’s career in Minnesota is over. Peterson has rushed for 11,747 yards and 97 touchdowns in his career thus far. He has averaged 95.5 yards rushing per game. There…
Mike Riley begins his third season at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers will be looking to build off of a 9-4 season in 2016. Nebraska made significant strides in the Big Ten West last season but they need to find a way to beat Iowa. The Hawkeyes blasted the Huskers 40-10 last season. A solid spring would go a long way in helping the Huskers get back on top of the conference…
The Florida Gators have kicked off spring practice and they are “chomping” at the bit to lay the foundation for a great 2017 season. Florida is without quarterback Luke Del Rio and they have to replace several key starters on defense but the Gators will be in the mix in the SEC East.
By John Sarianides The Combine is in the rear view mirror and pro day workouts are in full swing. Here is my second mock draft as we get closer to Philadelphia. 1.Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M: Is there any doubt the Browns are taking Garrett?
