Shemar Stewart will not take part in Texas A&M’s upcoming bowl game. The junior defensive lineman announced on Monday that he is declaring for April’s NFL draft. A former five-star recruit, Stewart arrived with high expectations based on his size and athleticism. He has been a key figure along the D-line

Ahead of this past weekend, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch insisted he found suggestions claiming the club could potentially listen to trade offers for head coach Kyle Shanahan during the winter “rather comical” because Lynch is “100% behind Kyle and what he brings to our organization.”  Following San Francisco’s

Sunday’s loss saw Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins‘ 2024 struggles continue. No thought is being given to finding a replacement at this time, though. “He’s our kicker,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Cleveland’s 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh (via Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal). “We expect him to make those. He’s a veteran. He’s a

Roughly 11 months ago, wide receiver Garrett Wilson raised eyebrows when he said he had just completed “the worst year of my life” after the New York Jets finished the 2023 season at 7-10. Following the Jets’ 32-26 overtime loss at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday that dropped Gang Green to 3-10

It’s assumed unhappy New York Giants fans were responsible for the banner that flew over MetLife Stadium ahead of the club’s home game versus the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon that asked Giants co-owner John Mara to please “fix this dumpster fire.”  Following a 14-11 loss that dropped New York to 2-11 on what’s become

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray still has a cannon.  On Arizona’s opening drive in Sunday’s home game against the Seattle Seahawks, Murray faked a handoff to rookie running back Trey Benson, quickly set his feet and threw a 42-yard touchdown to wide receiver Michael Wilson. An ACL tear caused Murray

Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, so it’s surprising the Vikings star hasn’t caught more touchdown passes this season.  Entering Sunday’s home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Jefferson hadn’t recorded a TD catch since a 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions on Oct. 20. 

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold has possibly increased his future earnings this season. Early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s home game against the Atlanta Falcons, Darnold threw his fifth touchdown of the game to wide receiver Jordan Addison. Darnold’s excellent performance shouldn’t be a surprise. Entering Sunday’s matchup, he

The regular season is winding down, and it can’t end soon enough for some quarterbacks.  From Kirk Cousins’ miserable homecoming to Kyler Murray’s third straight loss, here are the five worst quarterback performances from Sunday’s NFL slate.

Aaron Rodgers’ limited time as quarterback for the New York Jets has led the team to familiar territory.  With their 32–26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the AFC West champions for the ninth consecutive year thanks to a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. It was another win where some good luck and some Chiefs magic played as much of a role as anything else in the

It has been a lost season for the 4-8 Bengals, but it isn’t because of the play of franchise quarterback Joe Burrow. Despite the disappointing record, Burrow leads the NFL with 3,337 passing yards and 30 touchdowns heading into their “Monday Night Football,” game against the Dallas Cowboys. Burrow has

The Raiders have already been dealt one notable blow on the injury front with respect to the quarterback position. They appear to have endured another during Sunday’s action. Aidan O’Connell went down with a leg injury during the third quarter of Vegas’ game against the Buccaneers. An air cast was

2024 has been a disappointing year for many Jets players, veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley among them. Mosley recently landed on injured reserve, thus ending his season after just four games played, and our Adam La Rose speculated that the 32-year-old defender could become a cap casualty in the coming months.

As the NBC broadcast pointed out, the win gives Kansas City 15 straight wins in one-score games, which extends the longest streak in NFL history. It may not be perfect, but the Chiefs somehow keep finding ways to win. This time, it takes a doink off the left upright to

The Saints 2024 NFL season has been a frustrating one full of streaks. Despite breaking up the streaks today with a win, an injury today could lead to another streak of losses to close the season. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, quarterback Derek Carr suffered a fracture in

The Arizona Cardinals did not seem to have any answers to the Seattle Seahawks’ run game on Sunday as Seattle prevailed, 30-18. The win gave Seattle a season sweep of Arizona after previously knocking off the Cardinals, 16-6, on Nov. 24. The Seahawks took advantage of a strong rushing attack

In order to convince Robert Hunt to come to Charlotte this offseason, the Panthers made him just the fourth guard in league history to enjoy a $20MM/year contract, authorizing a five-year, $100MM accord that features $44MM in fully-guaranteed money.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua possibly made his best catch this season in Sunday’s home game against the Buffalo Bills.  On a 2nd-and-10 at L.A.’s 49-yard line midway through the second quarter, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford launched a pass to Nacua. He hauled in the 19-yard reception along

Kevin O’Connell‘s third season at the helm of the Vikings has gone well to date, in no small part due to his work guiding Sam Darnold to a productive showing so far. A new commitment from the front office could soon be coming as a result. The matter of extensions for O’Connell

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold could not be stopped on Sunday in the Vikings’ 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Steven Nelson announced his retirement in June, but he is in contention for a midseason return to NFL action. The veteran corner has a visit lined up with the Chiefs, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Nelson’s agent confirmed the visit will take place tomorrow, and it will open the door to

The 2024 season has not gone according to plan for the New York Jets. Until a second quarter TD run against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the same could be said for the Jets against their division rival the last two years. This 17-yard TD run from rookie RB Isaiah
