DeAndre Hopkins' Instagram story fuels rumors of where he'll sign
After a few months of speculation and trade rumors, the Arizona Cardinals decided to cut WR DeAndre Hopkins.

With Aaron Rodgers in New York, the Jets and these other teams should improve
Not every team in the NFL can enjoy the same scope of success. After all, there are 32 teams and at the end of the season only one Super Bowl Champion. Naturally, it’s fair to feel like the 31 other teams in the league aren’t winners — you could go as far as to call them losers if you really wanted,...

Josh Harris hasn’t officially taken the mantle of the now-Washington Commanders yet, and his first mess from the poop trail of Dan Snyder is underway.

Patrick Mahomes, arguably the NFL's top QB, fine with not being paid accordingly

Adrian Peterson doesn't know when to call it a career
Apparently, Adrian Peterson is ready to return for another NFL season. That’s interesting because after not playing in 2022, it felt like the former All-Pro running back had finally faded into the background and quietly called it a career. Nope.

Aaron Rodgers' idea of the Garden State came from watching <i>Jersey Shore</i>
Aaron Rodgers’ idea of the Garden State prior to being traded to the New York Jets was gleaned through MTV’s Jersey Shore.

NFL players should have a say in the new Thursday night flex games

Micah Parsons is about as clueless as they come
The Dallas Cowboys might have another star player that lacks self-awareness in the same sense that Ezekiel Elliott did early in his career.

Patrick Mahomes takes NHL-related social media knockout thanks to his brother's troubles

Mekhi Becton is in contract-year form, which should delight Aaron Rodgers
Mekhi Becton was drafted to be the star of the New York Jets’ offensive line. The Jets selected him 11th overall in 2020, which at face value is a reasonable decision. At the combine Becton measured 6-foot-7, weighed over 350 pounds, with a 7-foot wingspan, and massive hands....
