Big Moves Before Free Agency

Trades, Trades and More Trades!

Many trades have occurred in the league in the past week and will most likely change the outcomes of the draft and free agency. The Cleveland Browns have suddenly made their team a lot better in one day. Yesterday, the Browns traded for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry, Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, and Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor. They still have two of the top four picks in the NFL Draft this year, as well. 

The Los Angeles Rams traded away Alec Ogletree to the New York Giants, Robert Quinn to the Miami Dolphins, while receiving cornerbacks Aqib Talib from the Denver Broncos and Marcus Peters from the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos now have enough space to make a run at signing quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency.

In other news, the Seattle Seahawks have released top cornerback Richard Sherman and their #2 cornerback, Jeremy Lane. They traded defensive end Michael Bennett to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles traded Torrey Smith to the Carolina Panthers as well.

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to release Adrian Peterson and the New York Giants are expected to release Brandon Marshall.

Only more news is to come. Stay tuned.

Why the Patriots Won Super Bowl 51

Pats Win Over Falcons 34-28 in OT It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Patriots could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half, the Falcons could not get anything going. Belichick and Brady pulled off some more magic and won their fifth Super Bowl together. In the second half, it seemed as though the game was getting away from the Atlanta Falcons, and their youth caught up to them. I believe that this game should have definitely been won by the Falcons, but the game slipped away from them. There are many reasons to explain what happened, including the fact that the Falcons did not run the football to milk down the clock in the second half, they turned the ball over when it was not necessary, they did not play as tough and physical on defense and seemed gassed, and even just because Tom Brady and the rest of his offense played a hell of a game. In my opinion, though, the real reason why the Patriots won, is because of t...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...
