NFL teams gave a version of the franchise tag to 10 different players before Tuesday’s deadline. The tag comes in three forms—exclusive, non-exclusive and transition—and is used by teams to either keep a free agent off the market or control if the player is allowed to sign elsewhere.

Watching the stocks of 2016 NFL draft prospects rise and fall this week will be like watching a ticker on Wall Street. The NFL Scouting Combine begins Tuesday at Indianapolis, and it’s a safe bet that a player or two will climb up draft boards because of his 40-yard dash time, number of bench-press reps or vertical […]

If Calvin Johnson decides to retire this offseason, he will have retired at age 30 like Lynn Swann. The Hall of Fame receiver, however, says that the similarities should end there.

Super Bowl 50 won’t go down as one of the best ever. At times, it was harder to watch than Puppymonkeybaby. Some of the best all-time Super Bowls have come in the last decade or so. There also have been some snoozers, however, and some Super Bowls that just weren’t great aesthetically. If you’re going […]

It’s pretty safe to say that former University of Miami and Temple head coach Al Golden won’t be wearing a tie this go around. After falling short this college off-season for a handful of jobs at the college level, including the head coaching gig at Rutgers, Golden has signed on to be the Tight Ends […]
