The Detroit Lions have an unexpected vacancy at cornerback after the release of Cameron Sutton following his domestic battery charges, and one report suggests they could find an All-Pro replacement in free agency. The Lions cut ties with Sutton after police in Florida announced that he was wanted on battery charges and asked the public for help in locating him. While the legal situation is still pending, the Lions announced on March 21 that they had released Sutton. The Lions had already been addressing their secondary with a series of moves in free agency, but the team will…

Mike Tomlin, Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh Steelers The highlight of Steel City’s free agency revolves around the quarterback position. By acquiring veteran Russell Wilson, the Pittsburgh Steelers shipped away Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for future draft picks. It seemed like the two-year QB wanted out too, based on recent reports. After being told that Wilson would be starting, Pickett himself requested a trade. Now, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin gives a few more details on what led to the end of Pickett’s tenure. From his perspective, he felt like a change of scenery would be a good…
Before free agency began, the Cowboys insisted they wanted to keep Tyler Smith at left guard even if left tackle Tyron Smith left in free agency. Now that Tyron Smith has left for the Jets, the Cowboys say Tyler Smith is an option at left tackle. “I’d say that’s a good, viable thing. . . . Keep the idea there. Don’t dismiss that idea,” Jones said of moving Tyler Smith, via Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. “Certainly, he’s potentially, I want to say, a great player at left tackle.” Jones said the Cowboys couldn’t afford to…
The Dallas Cowboys have yet to address the running back position this offseason, but it appears they may have found their top target with former Texas Longhorn, Jonathon Brooks. After a breakout 2022 season from Tony Pollard, the team passed the torch to him in 2023. As we know now, Pollard was not able to repeat the same kind of success and the Cowboys offense suffered as a result. Now, Dallas has moved on from Pollard and he headed to Tennessee on a 3-year, $24M deal, they have resigned backup Rico Dowdle, and the Cowboys are left…
Justin Fields is now a Pittsburgh Steelers player One of the NFL’s biggest offseason stories ended last week when the Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. After several unsuccessful years in Chicago, Fields now gets a new opportunity to rebuild his career. The 25-year-old joins veteran quarterback Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh’s quarterback room. Fields’ situation has led to many NFL analysts and former players criticising the Chicago Bears and the NFL. Former NFL MVP Cam Newton entered the debate on his most recent 4th & 1 podcast. “Justin Fields is finding out that the NFL is a business,”…
After his lackluster performance on the field in his first season with the team, a chunk of Detroit Lions’ fans wanted Cameron Sutton gone. He is gone now, however unfortunately under the broader circumstances after a warrant for his arrest was made public this past week. The team released him the next day. The trade to acquire Carlton Davis from the Buccaneers and the signing of Amik Robertson has greatly lessened the Lions’ need a cornerback. But it was resurfaced a bit more in the wake of the situation with Sutton, if only on the idea of adding another…
The Philadelphia Eagles are poaching yet another former division rival. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that the Eagles are signing veteran quarterback Will Grier to a one-year deal. Grier, a former third-round pick, split time last year between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers. The 28-year-old Grier is also notable in that he was on the NFC East foe Dallas Cowboys for two seasons from 2021-22. While Grier never saw the field for Dallas and has only ever made two total NFL game appearances (for the Carolina Panthers in 2019), he should be a passable QB3…
With the recent news of Justin Fields being shipped off to Pittsburgh, the Chicago Bears continue their active offseason full of polarizing moves. Along with the Fields trade, the Bears traded for Keenan Allen from the Chargers and signed D’Andre Swift and Kevin Byard away from the Eagles. These additions have the potential to be boom or bust for the franchise, but with the addition of a potential franchise quarterback and edge rusher in the draft, history shows signs of a playoff leap for the Windy City. The main thing has just been, it was a decision…
