Reevaluating 18 big NFL trades since 2018: Winners from deals involving Odell Beckham Jr., Khalil Mack, Jalen Ramsey, more

Evaluating NFL trades in the moment is, to put it nicely, an inexact science. Teams have more information about their players than the public does.

The Texans fired Bill O’Brien now? Barnwell on the strange timing, O’Brien’s rocky tenure and Houston’s future

Monday’s news that the Houston Texans were firing head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien after an 0-4 start was somehow simultaneously stunning and not surprising at all. I’ve been skeptical of O’Brien’s decision-making since he assumed personnel power in 2019, with move after move seemingly betraying either a lack of long-term vision or a failure to […]
