NFL training camp updates: Super Bowl champ Buccaneers on field, Lions Olympic watch party, more
Saturday’s 2021 NFL training camp practices opened with the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in pads for the first time trying to put it all together after a rough practice Friday that coach Bruce Arians called “horses—.” He was encouraged after Saturday’s effort. “I thought everyone practiced to win rather than practiced to practice,” […]
Continue readingNFL Mock Draft with all trades for 2021: Bill Barnwell proposes deals for all 32 picks, including the Jaguars, Jets and Patriots
Every year, I offer up my own piece of vaguely NFL draft-related content by producing a mock draft consisting entirely of trades.

Continue readingNFL pro day takeaways for the 2021 NFL draft: A coveted QB class, opt-out riddles, which prospects are rising
No scouting combine. No in-person visits from prospects. No business as usual for those involved in the 2021 NFL draft. This is the second consecutive draft impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and teams have had little face-to-face time, scarce medical information, fewer games to review and just as many questions to answer as usual.

Quarterback Justin Fields ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.44 seconds at the Ohio State Buckeyes’ pro day Tuesday. The 6-foot-3, 228-pound player, widely expected to be a first-round selection in next month’s NFL draft, worked out and threw for the 31 NFL teams reportedly in attendance.

NFL free agency kicks off next week and teams will be working with a salary cap of $182.5 million for the 2021 season, an 8% decrease from the $198.2 million cap in 2020. The cap has risen every year since 2011, but the reduced revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic forced a drop for next […]

The Russell Wilson saga continued to evolve Thursday, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that while the Seattle Seahawks’ Pro Bowl quarterback hasn’t demanded a trade from the franchise where he has played all nine seasons of his career, his agent has a wish list in case that scenario comes to pass. With the Chicago Bears, […]

First it was the Jan. 30 blockbuster swap between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams — Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff and draft picks.

Several teams […]

LAS VEGAS — Raiders coach Jon Gruden acknowledged that memories of scoring too soon against the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 22 and visions of Patrick Mahomes leading a last-minute, game-winning drive at Allegiant Stadium might have affected his playcalling at the end of Saturday night’s last-second, 26-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Rather than […]

Quarterback, he told them. Quarterback? Nah, that can’t be right. Then Thompson played his way to being the No. 3 overall pick in the 1979 NFL draft and appeared in 51 games for Cincinnati and Tampa Bay. At the time, Polynesian quarterbacks were rare. Back then, what could happen Saturday (8:15 p.m. ET, NFL Network) […]
