Pittsburgh Steelers
The Browns haven’t had much draft success over the years, which makes their hit on Thomas all the more notable.
It’s a draft tradition, in the NFL and every other sport. All the focus leading up to it is on the first round, maybe the first two; all the focus immediately after is about who won, who lost, who passed and who flunked. It’s not until long afterward that the real gems of the draft […]
Kyle Kuzma on latest injury: ‘Hard to move around on two flat tires’
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma hobbled out of Staples Center late Friday night with both of his ankles aching and the remainder of his impressive rookie season up in the air. Already playing through a right ankle injury that he suffered earlier this season, Kuzma was limited to 18 minutes before leaving Friday night’s […]
Draft will give fans of each team their own section
In 17 days, the draft does Dallas — and Dallas will do the draft like no other city ever has. “This is going to be the most talked-about draft in history,” NFL draft historian and custodian Gil Brandt tells Peter King of SI.com. “And not just because quarterbacks could go one through four, or four […]
Manziel’s allegation of “toxic” quarterback room cries out for response from Brian Hoyer
Quarterback Johnny Manziel’s Wednesday interview on The Dan Patrick Show, part of an obvious effort to parlay lingering media attention into another NFL opportunity, included a misguided attempt to blame the Browns for not realizing that Manziel was conning them in 2014.

Former Falcons cornerback Jalen Collins is not currently on an NFL roster, and today’s news makes it less likely he ever will be. Collins has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 NFL season, according to Field Yates of ESPN. “We could’ve just gave in, but the guys showed pride and came […]
Saints sign Benjamin Watson for his ability, not his familiarity with the offense
The Saints did not necessarily sign tight end Benjamin Watson for his familiarity with the offense. That was just an added bonus. New Orleans added Watson because he was available and because he played well last season for the Ravens when he caught 61 passes for 522 yards and four scores. Steve Spurrier: Yes, the […]
Chiefs bring Kerwynn Williams in for a visit
The Chiefs weren’t exactly shorthanded in the backfield, but they continue to look for options. Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Chiefs brought former Cardinals running back Kerwynn Williams in for a visit. O’Brien’s comments are encouraging, if the goal is to see minimal impact — and maximum predictability. The only question is […]
Roger Goodell: NFL focused on’taking the head out of the game’ with new rule
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrapped up the league’s annual meeting Wednesday in Orlando, and the implementation of a rule change that prohibits lowering the head to initiate contact was one of the key points of his news conference. Our focus is taking the head out of the game, to make sure we’re using the helmet […]
Nick Saban touts Minkah Fitzpatrick as a top-five pick
A week after former UCLA coach Jim Mora was far less effusive than he arguably should have been when praising former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen, Alabama coach Nick Saban has said all the right things about former Crimson Tide defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick. “As a player, is he a top-five pick? Yeah,” Saban recently told […]
