Why star NFL running backs have been devalued: What’s next
Something feels wrong about what’s happening for running backs in the NFL. As teams approach training camp later this month, four respected veteran rushers remain free agents, seemingly with little interest. Kareem Hunt wasn’t re-signed by the Browns after his contract expired, while Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette and Dalvin Cook were released by their respective […]
Continue readingReevaluating 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 more honest organizations around the NFL will tell you that even they don’t know how a guy they’re acquiring might fit in their scheme or with his new teammates. […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has a torn Achilles, and a source tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the second-year star is expected to miss the entire 2021 season.

The best prediction you can make about the NFL is that things are never going to stay the same. With what was a 16-game season — and now is up to 17 — we’re always going to overreact to things we saw in the small sample. Too often, we end up using that as our […]

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. There are 32 picks in the first round and for each of those selections, I try to construct a trade that makes sense for two or more teams given their respective needs and […]

With the start of 2021 NFL free agency a month away, all 32 teams have looming decisions to make about how their rosters could look next season. That includes players who could use a change of scenery — free agents, cut candidates and guys who could be traded — and potentially flourish elsewhere. Will the […]

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead on Tuesday echoed coach Sean McVay when it comes to the future of quarterback Jared Goff. “Jared Goff is a Ram at this moment,” Snead said when asked whether Goff would be on the roster in 2021. “It’s way too early to speculate the […]
