The Detroit Lions are preparing to run it back next season, one year after coming one game short of their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Detroit could start their offseason by taking care of one of their best offensive weapons via a big payday. Per NFL analyst Cam Marino, the Lions are exploring a contract extension for standout wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. During his three-year NFL career, St. Brown has led the Lions in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns each season. The two-time Pro-Bowler trailed just Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb in catches and receiving yards…
Kenny Pickett is expected to have competition for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback job in 2024. Veterans like Ryan Tannehill have been linked to Mike Tomlin’s team, and hiring his former offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, surely fueled those rumors. Since Pickett was just selected 20th overall two years ago, it’s unlikely we’ll see the Steelers invest another top draft pick in the QB position this offseason. But that doesn’t mean they’ll rule out another recently drafted first-round pick. It’s not easy to find franchise quarterbacks. Mike Tomlin knows this all too well after experiencing the rollercoaster seasons without…

To begin with, Bradley Beal missed the game through a hamstring injury that forced him off the court early in their previous victory over the Sacramento Kings.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne dropped a bombshell on Valentine’s Day after they reported that the Golden State Warriors apparently made an “unsuccessful bid” to bring Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to The Bay Area and pair him with Stephen Curry. The Philadelphia 76ers also reportedly tried their hand at acquiring James, but were immediately shut down by Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka. But 76ers GM Daryl Morey did not just stop with James. Reportedly, the 76ers also inquired the Phoenix Suns about the availability of Kevin Durant. Of course, the Suns, who are still right in the…
The Detroit Lions could take their pursuit of a Super Bowl title to the next level by adding more talent to their defense in free agency. Detroit’s defensive line got a big jump from Alim McNeill in 2023, as the defender was playing at a Pro Bowl level before suffering a sprained knee late in the season. However, the depth was tested after he went down and the Lions struggled to find a consistent presence in the interior. If the Lions feel the need to bolster the talent at the position, there are several solid options potentially available in free…

Following the Baltimore Ravens’ disappointing end-of-season loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game, general manager Eric DeCosta will be tasked with adding pieces to improve a championship core. However, DeCosta will be handcuffed by the team’s current cap situation unless he makes some difficult roster moves.
