At 33 years old, Eli Manning is no young quarterback. He’s been an integral part of the Giants’ roster since he joined the team, and he’ll likely continue to be an integral part of the team for the next half decade or more. Still, he’s at an age where the Giants need to begin considering […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the least flashy teams in the NFL. Last season, they were never able to put the right pieces together to find success. Last year’s lack of success hasn’t tripped up the Jags so far this offseason. Jacksonville went into free agency with a pile of cash, and they haven’t […]

If reports are accurate, current Browns center Alex Mack will sign an offer sheet from the Jacksonville Jaguars by the end of this week. The Browns will then have five days to match the Jaguars’ offer, or they’ll lose their star center. That’s something Cleveland does intend to do, but that’s not what their center […]

The NFC South is an interesting division to say the least. Its top two squads, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, have both taken steps back while the Buccaneers are hitting the reset button with Lovie Smith. The Falcons should be able to get back to their competitive ways after they tanked last season. […]

At the onset of the offseason, there was no specific consensus first overall selection, but it was split between two prospects. Many believed Teddy Bridgewater would be taken by the Texans, or Houston would take Jadeveon Clowney simply because he’s the best player in the draft. Those days are long gone. Clowney appears to be […]

Too often, analysis of the NFL boils down to one or two extraordinary people lifting their team above the rest. We often think of how Tom Brady or Peyton Manning keep their teams in the playoffs year after year or of how the pairing of Sean Payton and Drew Brees made the New Orleans Saints […]

Now that DeSean Jackson is no longer with the Philadelphia Eagles, his former team must now begin the task of replacing him. That’s easier said than done considering the requirements. Any replacement has to be one of, if not the single, fastest players on the field at any given moment. He has to be able […]

Every year the Oakland Raiders trudge through their scheduling, showing flashes of potential, usually followed almost immediately be streaks of disappointment. That may all be changing with the arrival of Matt Schaub and Maurice Jones-Drew. Both players provide the Raiders with veteran leadership in the huddle. Schaub will be the key to the Raiders’ offensive […]

Richard Sherman has never shied away from stating his opinion, and those views often land him in hot water, at least in the eyes of the public. Occasionally, Sherman makes a solid observation, and this is one of those cases. Sherman, who occasionally writes at MMQB.si.com, took to the old pen and paper (actually to […]

When reports began popping up over the past couple of weeks the Eagles were seriously trying to jettison DeSean Jackson, it was mildly surprising, although considering his salary cap impact, it wasn’t a huge shock to see the Eagles trying to free that space up. Now that it’s become apparent that his off-field behavior, specifically […]

Now that the Mark Sanchez era is done and gone in New York, the Jets can actually move forward with finding their next franchise quarterback. The tandem of Michael Vick and Geno Smith will get them by in the immediate future, but it’s unclear if Smith can eventually be the team’s go-to starting quarterback. The […]

It’s seemed likely for some time that the Houston Texans would like to move out of the first overall pick in the draft, but now there is actually a big of evidence to back up that belief. Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report learned at this week’s NFL annual meeting that the Texans are “trying hard” […]

Bruce Arians is confident in his team’s ability to make a playoff run in 2014, and why shouldn’t he be? Last season, the Cardinals struggled to find their footing early in the season, getting off to just a 3-4 start. They closed strong, however, eventually making it to 10-6 and just missing the playoffs in […]

The Dolphins, who have denied trying to trade wide receiver Mike Wallace in the past, are renewing their efforts to move their extremely expensive acquisition from a season ago, or at least that’s what Jason La Canfora reports via Twitter. La Canfora mentions Wallace’s contract makes any potential trade a tough sell, and that’s the […]

In 2013, Matt Schaub, well, imploded in a big way. Schaub became a pick-six machine with the Texans, which ultimately led to his benching. Now, with Schaub leaving for greener pastures, the obvious question becomes whether or not the Raiders can help turn Schaub’s career around. Everyone’s first instinct should be that, no, the Raiders […]
