The 2022 NFL season will kick off a week from Thursday as the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) — which means teams are cutting their rosters in preparation. Teams were required to cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Cuts came earlier as […]
Continue readingThe Buffalo Bills are the reigning, two-time AFC East champions. They didn’t punt in either of their final two games against the second-place New England Patriots last season, which highlights the gap between the teams. Can anyone catch the Bills? It’s the top question when assessing the AFC East in 2022. The Bills, who were […]
Continue readingWhile the long-term story of the 2022 NFL draft will be how the draftees pan out years from now, this version of the NFL Power Rankings is taking more of an immediate approach. Instead of breaking down the rookies (there will be plenty of time for that), we picked veterans from each team whose status […]

Cuts come earlier this season as teams had three preseason games — not four — to accommodate the 17-game regular season schedule. The biggest names let go are New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and New […]
Continue readingWhile the majority of Patriots players report for training camp on Tuesday, quarterbacks and players recovering from injuries were scheduled to arrive Thursday. There was a question whether Gilmore, the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, would report. He had stayed away from voluntary practices in the spring, as well as mandatory minicamp, while […]

Georgia is close, Notre Dame is hovering around the conversation, and BYU should get a look. But the Big 12 has all but eliminated itself from the conversation, […]

This time last year, we were wondering if Justin Fields was ready to dominate at Ohio State or if Joe Burrow’s late-2018 surge at LSU meant something significant. He was, and it did.
