The Baltimore Ravens can find themselves a wide receiver reminiscent of Philadelphia Eagles’ Pro Bowler A.J. Brown if they make a dark-horse pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft by choosing South Carolina wideout Xavier Legette 30th overall. Legette is the best dark-horse candidate for the Ravens, according to Jacob Camenker of The Sporting News. He thinks the Ravens could be tempted by “a bigger, more physical receiver like Legette to go with the smaller, faster Zay Flowers.” Creating a size and speed tandem between Legette and Zay Flowers would make Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson-led passing game more versatile and explosive. Especially if Legette lived up to comparisons…
Tennessee is reportedly expected to lose a piece of its loaded defensive line room, according to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports. Jayson Jenkins, a former three-star recruit out of New Jersey, is now expected to enter the transfer portal. Jenkins was a part of the 2022 recruiting class. He appeared in six games for the Volunteers last season, and was trying to crack the rotation ahead of his redshirt sophomore season. The 6-6, 280 pound defensive lineman will now look for a new opportunity. Jenkins generated a little buzz in spring ball, and drew praise from defensive line coach Rodney Garner.…
It seems like all options are still on the table for the Pittsburgh Steelers as the days and hours until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft tick away but one analyst points to one move that wouldn’t be prudent for them to make, based on recent history. In 2019, the Steelers dealt picks No. 20, No. 50 and a 2020 third-round pick for the 10th overall pick, which they used to take Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. Independent of how Bush’s career shook out, ESPN’s Seth Walder sees it as an unsound move and criticized then-general manager Kevin Colbert for wasting extra picks to overpay for…
Dak Prescott has led the Dallas Cowboys as the team’s QB for the past 8 years, but that could be coming to an end soon. There are already questions about Prescott’s future due to the QB not signing a new contract extension, but the Cowboys could make a clear-cut decision to move on in the 2024 NFL draft. In Bleacher Report’s latest round of draft predictions, Brad Gagnon believes the Cowboys will move on from Prescott. In a deep QB draft, Gagnon thinks Dallas could take a QB in the first round. “I think Dallas is just about done with Dak Prescott, and in this case, it…
All discussions about the Chicago Bears leaving Soldier Field will finally be addressed on Wednesday. This April 24, the Bears organization will be hosting a press conference to announce their plans for a new publicly owned stadium, per WGN Radio 720’s Kevin Powell. The upcoming facility reportedly includes additional green and open spaces with access to the lakefront area on the Museum Campus. This comes amid the Bears’ recent shift of location plans from Arlington Heights to the Chicago lakefront. Last year, the organization purchased Arlington Park, a former horse racing track, for nearly $200 million. While they had already begun demolition of existing structures on…
First, it will take a first-round pick to trade for him, and the Steelers clearly don’t want to part with theirs. It would be embarrassing for the 49ers to trade him for a second-round pick, so they won’t. They don’t want that heat. So the Steelers would have to up their offer, which they’re unlikely to do because they’re not desperate. They don’t fire head coaches or general managers. No one’s job is on the line. They can afford to be patient and acquire a wide receiver at a reasonable price.In addition, their quarterbacks are Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.…

After signing a lucrative contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens last year, superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson headed into the 2023 NFL season highly motivated to prove his worth to the franchise and show the rest of the league that he’s still an elite player on the NFL level. Ultimately, Jackson didn’t disappoint the Ravens as he had one of the best seasons of his NFL career, which resulted in the team locking up the top seed in the AFC and their undisputed leader under center, winning his second NFL MVP award.Unfortunately for Baltimore, Jackson’s magic didn’t carry over once…
