The Jets trade of Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers yesterday took another team out of the quarterback mix in the top ten of this year’s draft. Carolina picked up Darnold’s fifth year option after the trade was completed meaning they will not be taking a quarterback with the eighth pick and are open for business as a possible trade partner. With Carolina now out of the running for a……

Patriots: I wouldn’t surrender anything more than two mid round picks for Jimmy G

The 49ers and Dolphins trade yesterday illustrated just how expensive it is going to be for the Patriots to trade into the top ten if they want to draft one of the top four quarterbacks in this year’s class. With the 49ers trading up, one has to assume that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is now available in a trade. San Francisco quickly squelched that notion by saying they intend to hold…

“F**k it, I’m back in.” That was my buddy Mike’s reaction in a group text at about 8 P.M. on Thursday night after Cam Newton put up another Instagram post of himself following a workout.

He loves it here and this is where he wanted to be all…

The Patriots signed arguably the best tight end in the open market, Hunter Henry to a 3 year, $37.5 million dollar deal. Yesterday, New England signed the other top tight end in…
