2020 NFL offseason: Everything you missed, including Mahomes’ extension, Brady to Tampa, more
The NFL pulled off a relatively normal 2020 offseason amid the coronavirus pandemic, a wild and weirdly comforting accomplishment that belies the current scramble to finalize plans for training camp and the regular season.

The most important thing for an NFL team is to find a franchise quarterback. The second-most important thing might be surrounding that quarterback with weapons.

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith isn’t happy to see NFL players continue to work out together despite a union advisory sent out last weekend saying they should stop doing so.

In the end, Cam Newton and the New England Patriots made too much sense for each other.

Continue readingWe ranked NFL teams’ continuity from 1-32: Bills and Chiefs lead the way
The coronavirus pandemic forced NFL teams to shut down this spring and summer, creating an offseason devoid of in-person organized team activities and minicamps. This could be especially problematic for teams that made a lot of moves this offseason, or advantageous for clubs that maintained continuity from 2019 to 2020. The Buffalo Bills top the […]

On the other hand, by adding two teams, the NFL would be able to add an additional game for television each week without having to concede any more money to its players. With the Texans paying $700 million as a franchise fee in 2002, Forbes estimated in 2012 that new franchises would pay between $1 […]
