According to Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, there isn't a "massive gap" between New England Patriots quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Jones saw his numbers drop in his second year in the league, finishing with 2,997 passing yards and 14 touchdowns. The former Alabama signal-caller also had some disagreements with head coach Bill Belichick, which landed him in hot water during the season. Zappe showed signs of promise, throwing for 781 yards, five touchdowns, and ... [More...]

The Panthers hired Shawn Jefferson to serve as the team's wide receivers coach. The 53-year-old has 17 years of NFL coaching experience under his belt, holding positions with the Lions, Titans, Dolphins, New York Jets, and most recently, the Arizona Cardinals, where he was the wide receivers coach and associate head coach. With that said, Jefferson will have his work cut out for him in Carolina, a team that didn't have a wideout go for over 1,000 yards last season. However, a reliable ... [More...]

According to Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, the 49ers have no plans on dealing wide receiver Deebo Samuel. There were rumors that the wideout could be on the move, with the Patriots emerging as a potential suitor. However, per Breer, who spoke with "somebody who'd absolutely know on this," San Francisco isn't trading Samuel to New England. In fact, the team isn't trading him at all. The 27-year-old had a down season in 2022, finishing with 632 receiving yards and two ... [More...]

According to NFL journalist Albert Breer, there isn't a "massive gap" internally between New England Patriots quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Head coach Bill Belichick didn't answer when asked at the end of the season if Jones would remain the team's starter moving ahead. As a result, the former Alabama signal-caller could be in line for a demotion. There are also rumblings that Jones could be traded, with a recent report indicating Josh McDaniels is interested in bringing him to Vegas.... [More...]

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains the Jets' top priority heading into the 2023-24 campaign. Although New York had free-agent Derek Carr in for a visit, Rodgers is the preferred option. The multi-time MVP struggled somewhat last season after No. 1 wideout Davante Adams was dealt to the Raiders in the offseason, finishing the year with 3,695 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while completing 64.6% of his throws. Rodgers ... [More...]

The Minnesota Vikings have decided to move on from linebacker coach Greg Manusky on Saturday. It appears newcomer Brian Flores wants to put together his own defensive coaching staff. It's not uncommon to see a new defensive coordinator want to pick his own staff members around him. Manusky has over 20 years of experience coaching defenses. He shouldn't have any issues finding a new home elsewhere. He has been a defensive coordinator for three different organizations. There should be a strong ... [More...]

Braxton Berrios has been the epitome of a team player for the New York Jets since joining the team in 2019. The man has suited up for all 65 games the Jets have played over the past four years, he has returned kickoffs and punts, he has been the starting slot receiver at times and has been the No. 4 or No. 5 WR at times, too. Berrios has even carried the ball 19 times for 160 yards and four touchdowns during his Jets career.The problem with Berrios is he has not provided a humongous bang ... [More...]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is heading into his final season of his rookie contract. That being said, the organization is hopeful to reach an agreement on an extension with Hurts this offseason. ESPN's Dan Graziano believes Hurts could get $50 million or more per year from the Eagles. The 24-year-old does not have a fifth-year option because he was a second-round pick. That means, the Eagles are likely to get a deal done sooner rather than later before the price tag goes any ... [More...]

Now that we've reached the dreadful off-season, it seems like the perfect time to compare this year's fantasy results to history's best. Cooper Kupp's dominant 2021 season and Travis Kelce's 2022 season may stand out to some as the best fantasy performances they have ever seen. Older, controversially wiser, fantasy managers will remind you of the seasons Jerry Rice and Isaac Bruce had in 1995. They'll mention Shannon Sharpe's name and fight tooth and nail to preserve the reputation of former ... [More...]
