By John Sarianides The Oakland Raiders have signed quarterback Derek Carr to a 5 year, $125 million dollar extension. $70 million of it is guaranteed with $40 million coming when Carr signs the contract. The Raiders have called a press conference for tomorrow afternoon to announce the signing and make it official. I think the Raiders overpaid Carr. He is being paid like a top five quarterback but he is…
By John Sarianides I may regret writing this piece but I am of the belief that the Tennessee Titans are a playoff team. The signing of free agent wide receiver Eric Decker this weekend only reinforces that notion for me. The Titans have an up and coming star at quarterback in Marcus Mariota, a top three offensive line and one of the best running back tandems in the NFL in…
By John Sarianides Colin Kaepernick is continuing to prove that he truly does not get it. Kaepernick sent out this tweet on Friday. A system that perpetually condones the killing of people, without consequence, doesn't need to be revised, it needs to be dismantled! pic.twitter.com/BVVPVZIQyD — Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) June 16, 2017 The tweet is insinuating that police officers are the equivalent to the Runaway Slave Patrol. For a guy…
By John Sarianides The wide receiver position is now the most coveted skill position in fantasy football. Wide receivers have replaced running backs as the top position players in fantasy football. The Steelers Antonio Brown was drafted first overall in thousands of drafts last season and will once again be in the running to be the first player taken in most drafts this season. Here are my top 20 wide…
The Jets are in full rebuild mode after cutting David Harris last week. By John Sarianides 1.The Patriots got their rings Friday night. Now the focus shifts to winning the next one. 2. The Jets releasing David Harris and shopping Eric Decker is not a surprise. They are throwing away the 2017 season because they want a top theee pick in the 2018 draft. They need a franchise quarterback and…
By John Sarianides Remember a few years back when people were saying that the running back position was dead in fantasy football? Not anymore. Six of the top twenty scorers of 2016 in a standard scoring format were running backs. Cardinals running back David Johnson was the leading scorer in ESPN fantasy football. As many as five running backs could go in the top ten in fantasy drafts this season….
By John Sarianides I don’t follow J.J Watt on twitter but he was re-tweeted thousands of times last night after calling the NFL Network’s Top 100 show “a joke” Watt was ranked as the 35th best player in the NFL for the 2016 season by his peers. He only played in three games last season. I played 3 games… this list is a joke. https://t.co/KnKDX1p816 — JJ Watt (@JJWatt) June…
Hank is back on MNF with some rowdy friends apparently. Jason Derulo and Florida, Georgia Line will also partake in the stupidity. By John Sarianides 1.Andy Reid cutting Jeremy Maclin three weeks after attending his wedding is just cold! That’s life in the NFL. It’s a business. 2. Hank Williams Jr. will once again be singing the Monday Night Football them song after a six year hiatus. What? The lame…
So long professor. It is truly a sad in the NFL Insider world. By John Sarianides 1.I believe Tom Brady is the 21st most popular athlete in the world. Most of the world despises him. It really is not a surprise. People hate winners. 2.ESPN firing John Clayton is further proof that sports talk nowadays is more about obnoxious, dumb takes now than it is about content. 3. The 49ers…
By John Sarianides ESPN announced on Friday that former Oregon, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly would be joining the network as an NFL and college football analyst. At first, I was a little skeptical when I heard the news but the more I have thought about it the last couple of days (yes, I have thought about it) I think Kelly could actually end up…
