By John Sarianides Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has officially retired and has been hired by FOX as an in game broadcaster. Cutler will more than likely replace John Lynch as Kevin Burkhardt’s partner. That is a shame because Burkhardt is good and Cutler has the personality of a dead squirrel. Burkhardt deserves a partner with a pulse. Here are three reasons why I think Cutler will suck as…

Opinion: The Bills and Vikings Did the Right Thing Not Picking Up the Fifth Year Options on Watkins and Bridgewater

May 4, 2017

By John Sarianides I cannot say that I am surprised that the Buffalo Bills declined to pick up Sammy Watkins fifth year option or that the Minnesota Vikings declined to pick up Teddy Bridgewater‘s fifth year option. Both organizations made the difficult decision to not pick up the option while at the same time admitting that they made bad decisions in the 2014 draft. The Bills have to be the…

Featured image courtesy of sbnation.  By John Sarianides I am scratching my head as to why the New Orleans Saints would sign Adrian Peterson. Peterson is no longer an elite running back. That is why the Saints signing him to a two year deal makes no sense to me. Especially when you consider the fact that the Saints already have a lead back in Mark Ingram. The 32 year old…

By John Sarianides According to NFL insider Jason LaCanfora, there is internal strife within the Browns organization regarding the first overall pick.  The front office and owner Jimmy Haslem want to draft a quarterback. Presumably that quarterback is Mitchell Trubisky. Conversely, head coach Hue Jackson and his staff want to draft Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett.  In the end, one has to assume that the Browns will ultimately draft…

By John Sarianides Here are four stories in the NFL that caught my attention this week. 1st Down: Richard Sherman Asked for a Trade: I must admit, this is surprising to me.

I am not 100% sold on Patrick Mahomes. Spread quarterbacks are a scary lot at the next level.  By John Sarianides 1.One has to assume that with the Patriots re-signing Brandon Bolden means that LeGarrette Blount is officially out of the picture. How many running backs can you carry? Seriously. 2. Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the apple of many eyes around the NFL but I still don’t buy…

By John Sarianides I am not surprised that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s has decided to retire. Contrary to what some are saying in the industry, there wasn’t much interest in Romo around the NFL. Had there been and the situation was right, Romo would have kept playing. Ultimately, he decided that relocating his family and the uncertainty of a new situation were not worth continuing his playing career. Romo is…
