Unable to come up with more excuses as to why the Phoenix Suns are unable to stay consistent game-by-game, the on-court dissolving effort must be formed by something internal. The lack of effort or inability to find the fortitude and leadership to rally from a 20-point deficit with five minutes remaining in a game must begin in the locker room. Halfway through the third quarter on Friday night, Suns guard Devin Booker managed to pick up his fourth and fifth fouls due to a lackadaisical defense and an inability to concentrate on bringing the team back into the game against…
Detroit Lions are coming off the franchise’s most successful season, with the team making it to the NFC Championship Game and falling short of a trip to the Super Bowl, with the San Francisco 49ers pulling off the comeback in the second half. Although the Lions came incredibly close to making it to the Super Bowl for the first time in the franchise’s history, Detroit had some areas that needed to be addressed during the NFL offseason, mainly on the defensive side of the football. Even though they have a late first-round pick (No. 29 overall) due to the…
After Tony Pollard departed the Cowboys in free agency for the Tennessee Titans, Dallas has some room to add. And might be interested in a former running back.

The Cowboys employed Elliott for his first seven seasons before releasing him last year. He went on to sign a one-year deal with the Patriots.

The San Francisco 49ers are trying to extend WR Brandon Aiyuk but there are few positives to feel good about at the moment. Besides Aiyuk dropping cryptic, seemingly negative messages, the latest report from one of the NFL’s most prominent insiders is only piling on the bad energy. On March 30, NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo spoke on TV about the situation. Essentially, the 49ers have a lot of work to do for an extension. “Basically it’s a little bit of a standoff right now,” Garafolo said. “Now look, this is not where the Deebo Samuel thing was,…

Since head coach Josh Heupel took over, the Tennessee Volunteers have been preparing for the 2025 recruiting cycle. They’re off to a strong start.

Chicago Bears signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton in NFL free agency last year. Now in need of replacing Sutton, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine argued the Lions could target another former Steelers defensive back in free agency — Patrick Peterson. Ballentine named the Lions a potential fit for the 3-Time All-Pro cornerback. “The Pittsburgh Steelers cut the three-time All-Pro in a money-saving move. However, he played in all 17 games for the Steelers last season, starting 16 games and giving up just 7.7 yards per target,” wrote Ballentine. “He also added an intriguing chapter…
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Dallas Cowboys and former running back Ezekiel Elliott have “mutual interest” in a reunion this offseason. With that in mind, here are three reasons why bringing Elliott back would be a good move for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys can right that wrong by letting the 28-year-old come home, where he should fittingly finish off his NFL career. He’s only been away for a year, so the vast majority…
