After Tyler Boyd signed with the Titans this month, DeAndre Hopkins said that the team has one of the best wide receiver groups he’s ever been a part of in the NFL.

Despite what the Chiefs and 49ers would have you believe, the rich don’t always get richer. The Eagles thought they had the league’s best roster. Then their defense bellyflopped them out of contention. The Bills once again went “all in.” They learned pretty early they were all out of skill player depth. Although there is an element of an “easy …

USATSI Quez Watkins eventually became an afterthought amongst the Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers last season, the final year of his rookie contract.

The Buffalo Bills ate more than $31 million to trade star wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason, a record for a non-quarterback. So why, exactly, didn’t the team wait until after June 1 to deal Diggs, which would’ve spread the financial impact between seasons? General manager Brandon Beane explained the Bills’ reasoning this week, telling “The Athletic Football Show” Buffalo …

In today’s NFL, Year 2 is often when an eventual star quarterback comes into his own, finds his groove and parlays previous flashes into consistent high-level play.  There was Carson Wentz in 2017, Patrick Mahomes in 2018 and Lamar Jackson in 2019. Josh Allen took a mammoth third-year leap, although in his second season, the rookie-year mishaps melted away into …

Whenever there’s an opportunity to gain partial ownership or become a head executive with an NFL franchise, it doesn’t take too long before Peyton Manning’s name is thrown out there.
