Talking head Colin Cowherd clearly doesn’t believe that Brian Schottenheimer is the right choice for the Dallas Cowboys as head coach. That’s a debatable take, of course. Schottenheimer is the son of Marty Schottenheimer, who was a great NFL head coach from the late 80s to the 2000s. Brian has

The team’s cautious approach with

AUGUST 4: Sanders recently underwent surgery to address the injury, 9News’ Mike Klis reports. Payton specified the issue was actually a ligament in Sanders’ foot, rather than a tendon.

As of Monday afternoon, it certainly seemed that neither free-agency signing Daniel Jones nor 2023 first-round draft pick Anthony Richardson had grabbed any significant lead in the competition for the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback job.  During a recent chat with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Jones reflected on the final days of

Keenan Allen worked out with the Chargers last week as the sides contemplate a reunion. No deal has been signed yet, but that will be the case if head coach Jim Harbaugh has his way. When speaking to the media on Monday, Harbaugh said (via ESPN’s Kris Rhim) Allen’s workout went well.

Terry McLaurin has been the Washington Commanders’ top wide receiver since he burst onto the scene as a third-round pick in 2019.  With five 1,000-yard campaigns in the last five years, “Scary Terry” has proved his worth as a premier pass-catcher.
