During his tenure with the Chicago Bears, a picture was painted that quarterback Justin Fields had the support of everyone in the organization. However, now that the 25-year-old signal-caller is no longer part of the organization, information is coming to light indicating that wasn’t exactly the case. Fields reportedly did not get along with former teammate Nick Foles, per Go Long TD’s Tyle Dunne, who said sources confirmed to him that the relationship between the two QBs was “toxic as hell.ª They never were together,” a source told Dunne. “It was always Andy (Dalton) and Nick walking side by side and…

According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, the team has signed third-round linebacker Adisa Isaac, fourth-round wide receiver Devontez Walker, fifth-round running back Rasheen Ali, and sixth-round quarterback Devin Leary to their rookie contracts.

The rookie could be in line for a significant role in Baltimore, as the team currently has Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy penciled atop the depth chart at outside…

The unique career of former number one overall pick Jared Goff went down yet another unexpected path on Monday, as the Detroit Lions will reportedly give the quarterback a four-year, $212 million extension with $170 million guaranteed according to Adam Schefter. The contract makes Goff a higher-paid quarterback than Matthew Stafford, the player who the Los Angeles Rams acquired when they sent two first round picks and a “salary dump” to the Lions in 2021. Former Rams exec and current Lions GM Brad Holmes insisted three years ago that Detroit traded for Goff with the intention to make him the…
After much speculation about what the immediate future held for USC star guard Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recently decided that he would enter the 2024 NBA Draft but keep his options open to return to college if need be. A lot of NBA analysts and experts have been highly critical of Bronny James’ game, as he doesn’t seem to be anywhere near a finished product and didn’t exactly blow anyone away with what he showed at the University of Southern California, which has led some to believe he’d be a waste of a…

IIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT’SSSSSSS MONDAY!!!!! And you wonderful orange-clad faithful know what that means. Let’s sit down at the table, carve up the orange-and-white bird, and dig into some wholesome Tennessee Vols-related goodness cooked up straight from my brain. 1) Another week at the top for the Tennessee Base Vols. UT kept its #1 ranking across all major polls after taking two of three over Vanderbilt in Nashville over the weekend. The streak of nine straight wins over the ‘Dores ended in Sunday’s 3-0 loss, but hey, you can’t win em all. 2) You can, however, win (almost) all of your series, and…
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh sees their fifth-round draft pick Jordan Travis as a moldable quarterback that has a world of talent for him to work with right out of the gate.
