data-mm-id=”_rpu92fy03″>Rob Gronkowski decided to tag along with old pal Tom Brady and moved to Tampa Bay after spending a year in retirement doing whatever it is Gronk likes to do when he's not playing football. The results have been… mixed so far. Gronkowski got his strength back up to NFL levels and appears to have not lost a beat when it comes to blocking on the line; in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' most recent game, he stonewalled star Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa by himself on several occasions. Other than that, he hasn't looked like the Gronk of old. Which is to be expected, all things considered. The last time we saw him on the field in 2018, he was so obviously hobbled by injuries that he was barely recognizable– and then he took a year off from th…

data-mm-id=”_wm2408dkz”>When Matt Stafford was traded to the Rams for a king's ransom, I speculated that would increase the asking price for suitors hoping to acquire Deshaun Watson from the Texans. After all, if a 32-year-old quarterback who hasn't been to a Pro Bowl since 2014 can fetch two first-round picks, a third-rounder and a former Pro Bowl quarterback in Jared Goff, what could a transcendent talent like Watson yield? According to long-time Texans beat writer John McClain, however, the Stafford deal doesn't impact the Watson deal. From McClain's perspective, if the Texans are going to trade Watson, which they said they don't want to, then they want two first-round picks, two second-rounders and two starting-caliber players in return. The Rams-Lions trad…

data-mm-id=”_fjby2iy6d”>The Miami Dolphins hosted the New York Giants in Week 5. The Dolphins were coming off a big loss to the Buffalo Bills while the Giants were coming off an embarassing loss to the Seattle Seahawks where Daniel Jones was sacked 10 times. Things got off ot a similar start against the Dolphins as Jones was sacked three times early in the game. And the offensive line was to blame for at least one of them.Come for @astronaut's sack, but please stay for his celly 😂📺: #NYGvsMIA on FOX📱: Stream on #NFLPlus https://t.co/LxW25sxPWA pic.twitter.com/Zix4g5SIXB— NFL (@NFL) October 8, 2023As you can see on this play late in the first quarter, three Dolphins met at Jones in the backfield.

data-mm-id=”_x1rqgggmm”>NFL contracts keep rising every year, specifically quarterbacks. With so many good signal-callers around the NFL, a new massive contract seems to be handed out after few months. Here's a look at the 10 biggest contracts in the NFL right now. 1. Patrick Mahomes, $450 millionMahomes has the largest total potential contract ever handed out in the NFL. He doesn't have the most guaranteed money, which is an important distinction. The 10-year, $450 million deal he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs carries $141.5 million in total guarantees. 2. Joe Burrow, $275 millionBurrow inked a massive five-year, $275 million extension before the 2023 season. The former Heisman Trophy winner has already taken the Cincinnati Bengals to on Super Bowl and it likely won&#03…

data-mm-id=”_92j9tjk3y”>Tee Higgins was seen as the best wide receiver available in free agency before the Cincinnati Bengals used the franchise tag on him. Reports at the time suggested the Bengals wanted a few more months to try to negotiate a long-term deal with their No. 2 wideout. It seems Higgins does not feel the same way, and on Monday the former LSU star requested a trade out of Cincy– revealing, in the process, that the Bengals never actually tried to hold long-term extension talks with him. Bengals franchise WR Tee Higgins has requested a trade, per sources. Higgins loves Cincinnati and hoped to be with the team long term, but is disappointed that the team has not had any talks about a long-term contract extension since March 2023. He’s ready to move on to a new… pic.tw…

data-mm-id=”_99ghkc41r”>The scoop of the NFL preseason has finally been confirmed.Taylor Swift has become such a big football fan that she has indeed drawn up plays. And not surprisingly, they all feature her favorite Kansas City Chiefs player — Travis Kelce, her boyfriend.While appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, the nine-time Pro Bowl tight end acknowledged that his pop superstar girlfriend has showed off her knowledge of X's and O's, and he said the inspiration came from Swift's curiosity and dedication to detail. "She had been so open to learning the game. She didn't know much about the rules and everything," Kelce said. "I think what makes her so good in her profession is that she's so detailed in every aspect of it, from the words to the m…
