It is never too early to start making predictions for the 2018 season. Here are five teams that I think will be vastly improved in 2018. 5. Cleveland Browns: Yes. The Cleveland Browns will surprise people in 2018. I know they have become a sexy pick for experts because of the additions of Baker Mayfield, Jarvis Landry and Carlos Hyde but there are other reasons I like this team. The hiring…
Tom Brady is not happy and Patriots fans have to stop pretending he is. The dime package is back. Every Sunday morning, I will give my thoughts on the week that was in football. From high to college to the NFL, I’ll share my insight on some of the top stories around the game. 1. I hate to tell you Patriots fans, but Tom Brady’s answers to Jim Gray’s questions…
I used to do grades until I realized how foolish that is. Instead of doing grades, I have decided to just do my winners, did o.k teams and losers from this weekend. Let’s start with the winners. Winners New York Giants: The Giants stood pat and let the board come to them. As a result, they ended up with Saquon Barkley, Will Hernandez, Lorenzo Carter and Kyle Lauletta among others….

Instead of taking a quarterback with more long term upside in Sam Darnold, they took an older quarterback who is four inches shorter and plays out of control in Baker Mayfield. I would say I am surprised that Cleveland passed on Darnold…
According to Charles Robinson of yahoo.com, Aaron Rodgers is growing frustrated with the Packers for not seeking his opinion on personnel matters. Rodgers has expressed frustration with the organization after they fired quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt and released wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Rodgers is so frustrated in fact that some around him wonder if he will stay in Green Bay once his current contract expires after the 2019 season….
The Dallas Cowboys released pro bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant yesterday in a move that will save them $8 million dollars in cap space in 2018. Bryant’s release wasn’t a surprise given his lack of production the last three seasons. That along with a shift in philosophy offensively led to the mercurial receiver’s departure in Big D. So, where will Dez be throwing up the X next season? Here are…

Here are my thoughts on some new rule changes that were implemented. New Catch Rule: I think it is great that the NFL changed the catch rule and made it clearer for players and fans alike. I am sure it is no consolation to Cowboys fans after…
NFL free agency has been interesting to say the least. Here are my thoughts on what has transpired around the NFL thus far this week 1. Kirk Cousins can lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl because he has a solid running game to work with and a championship caliber defense. Forget about the guaranteed money. It’s the price of doing business today. 2. I like the Allen Robinson acquisition…
NFL free agency starts tomorrow and expect fireworks as several key free agents will be looking to get paid. This year’s free agent class is by no means “loaded” but there is plenty of talent available, particularly for teams that are in the market for a quarterback or receiver. So, with further ado. Here are my top ten free agents and where I think they will end up. 1. Kirk…
The Cleveland Browns went a shopping spree yesterday acquiring wide receiver Jarvis Landry, quarterback Tyrod Taylor, and cornerback Damarious Randall. The flurry of moves on Friday afternoon sent shockwaves across the NFL and put the league on notice. The Browns mean business. General manager John Dorsey is taking a completely different approach than his analytics driven predecessor Sashi Brown. Instead of hoarding picks and cap space, Dorsey has elected to…
