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…

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 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…

By John Sarianides According to league sources, the Patriots have taken Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon off their draft board. Mixon struck a women in the face after an altercation at a bar in 2015. Video surfaced of the incident and it clearly showed Mixon punching the women. Mixon is a first round talent but because of the violent nature of the video, he will more than likely not get…

By John Sarianides Three re-locations in 13 months is a bad look for the NFL. No matter how Roger Goodell tries to spin it, the league looks bad for moving the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles and the Raiders to Las Vegas. The moves proves that the league cares more about their bottom line and making money than the game itself. It is no secret that Los Angeles is…

By John Sarianides I would really appreciate it if Raiders owner Mark Davis and the NFL stopped pissing in my ear and telling me it is raining.  I get it! The Raiders are leaving Oakland. It is going to be made official this week at the league owners meetings. Let’s stop with all the back and forth nonsense with the city of Oakland.  Roger Goodell sending a letter to Oakland…

By John Sarianides The thought of Adrian Peterson in a Packers uniform makes no sense on so many levels. It is the same way I felt about Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform. That visual came to fruition. I don’t see Peterson in a Packers uniform happening anytime soon. The Packers reportedly discussed meeeting with Peterson and his representives but decided that his $8 million dollar a season contract demand…

By John Sarianides Barring a pre-draft or draft weekend trade, Tony Romo will be a member of the Dallas Cowboys until June 1st. He shouldn’t make any career plans until then.  The Cowboys know they can’t trade Romo because they have no takers. As a result, they will hold onto him until June 1st and then release Romo to go to Houston or where ever else he wants to go….

By John Sarianides Eddie Lacy and Dontari Poe both signed one year deals last week with the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons respectively. What was unique about both contracts is that they had weight clauses in them. In the case of Lacy, his incentives centered around him showing up to training camp 15-20 pounds lighter. Lacy was supposedly weighed last week on a free agent visit and weighed in…

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…
