The Indianapolis Colts starting Daniel Jones as their quarterback for Week 1 does nothing for this team.  Instead of going with the still raw and unproven Anthony Richardson Sr., team leadership has decided to roll with the former Giant, who was signed in the offseason.  For many, this signals the

Jadeveon Clowney remains unsigned with roster cuts looming. The veteran edge rusher could soon have his latest NFL deal in place, however. Clowney plans to sign before the start of the regular season, KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports. If that is to be the case, an agreement will need to be finalized

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy claims he still has a chip on his shoulder despite receiving a five-year, $265M contract extension that included $181M in guarantees and a no-trade clause this spring.  ESPN’s Nick Wagoner wrote Thursday how Purdy “spent the summer improving — mainly working on his mobility and

Throughout the offseason, whispers have suggested that there’s a world where the Miami Dolphins could part ways with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as soon as next offseason even though the club signed him to a four-year, $212.4M deal last summer.
