By John Sarianides Despite being in the midst of March Madness, there is still plenty of football to talk about. 1. Breaking news! Big Ben is leaning towards playing in 2017. Right. Like he wasn’t going to play. Please! 2. I cannot wait until this Malcolm Butler saga ends with the Patriots. It’s getting old! 3. It took new Colts GM Chris Ballard all of a month to figure out…
By John Sarianides Controversial free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick has had a hard time finding a team that is interested in signing him this off-season. In a league that only has a handful of elite quarterbacks and a handful of good quarterbacks, Kaepernick can’t seem to find a team that is willing to give him a chance to quarterback their franchise. Contrary to public perception, it is not just because…
By John Sarianides Denver Broncos defensive end DeMarcus Ware announced his retirement on Monday, ending one of the most productive careers in NFL history. Ware finished his career with 146 total sacks including playoff games. He was one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL during his 12 year NFL career. From his rookie season in 2006 to 2012, you could make the case Ware was the best defensive…
Rex Burkhead will be a bigger part of the Patriots offense than people think. By John Sarianides 1.It is about time Dont’a Hightower made a decision! Jeesh! By the way, I don’t think it is a lock that he is re-signing with the Patriots. 2. Yes. It is time for the Patriots to trade Malcolm Butler. They won’t pay him elite money and he doesn’t want to be in New…
By John Sarianides One of my favorite expressions regarding leadership is the fish rots from the head down. In the case of the Washington Redskins, it really does. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is a wealthy, highly successful, intelligent businessman who owns one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Yet, despite that, he can’t seem to figure what direction he wants to take the franchise in. Some times he…
By John Sarianides The first day of the new year in the NFL usually features record breaking contracts being handed out to skill guys. Those contracts were given out but it is the money that free agent offensive lineman got that caught my attention. Several biggies got big money deals. The biggest contract of the day was handed out by the Cleveland Browns who gave former Cincinnati Bengals guard Kevin…
By John Sarianides Contrary to what we have thought in recent years, the Cleveland Browns do in fact have a plan and it is starting to come to fruition. After suffering through a 1-15 season in 2016, many people thought the Browns were going to be stuck in football purgatory forever. Fast forward two months later and the Browns are the toast of the football world today. Thanks to an…
The Browns brain trust was active on the first day of free agency. By John Sarianides Day one of the new year league has been as busy as we thought it would be. Here are some thoughts on what has gone down so far. 1. Stephon Gilmore signing a five, $60 million dollar deal with the Patriots is surprising. Belichick threw us a 12 to 6 curveball and we didn’t see…
By John Sarianides The insanity that is free agency is upon us. The money will start flowing at 4pm tomorrow and there will be plenty to go around. Here are my top 30 free agents and where I think they will end up. 1. Brandon Williams, NT, Baltimore: Williams is a precious commodity in today’s NFL. A run stuffing nose tackle who can also rush the passer. The Giants broke the…
