data-mm-id=”_x6aph481s”>The Giants decided to retain Dave Gettleman after firing head coach Pat Shurmur on the NFL's Black Monday. This was a questionable decision, but one that had the backing of the ownership group. It also had the backing of some media members, including Albert Breer, who tweeted out yesterday morning that, to Gettleman's credit, he has not lived up to his reputation as a football luddite and has "modernized" New York's scouting department. To his credit, and contrary to popular belief, Dave Gettleman has made a serious effort to modernize the Giants scouting department over the last 2 years. So the main thing here isn't him.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 30, 2019Gettleman met with the media today to discuss the immediate futu…

data-mm-id=”_rvhddwosj”>We're just a little more than a week into NFL free agency and most of the available players have found new homes. Still, quality targets remain on the market. Here's our list of the 10 best players available. 1. Jadeveon Clowney, EDGEAs has been the case with Jadeveon Clowney throughout his career, his numbers didn't match his talent level in 2019 with the Seahawks. He managed just 31 tackles and three sacks in 13 games. That said, the 27-year-old three-time Pro Bowler can be a force off the edge given his size (6-foot-5), 255 pounds) and ridiculous athleticism. Someone will snag him soon, but it likely won't be for the $20 million per year he's seeking. 2. Jameis Winston, QBWinston is ranked this high because of his youth and the value …

data-mm-id=”_0snjpl3xi”>Philip Rivers announced his retirement on Monday after 17 NFL seasons. After an incredible career, many were asking whether Rivers was Hall of Fame worthy following his announcement. I'm here to definitively tell you that Rivers is absolutely worthy of enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will make it when he's eligible in 2026.Despite a unique, awkward delivery, average arm strength, and the agility of a dump truck, Rivers made it work. He relied on pinpoint accuracy and a deep knowledge of the game to give himself a leg up. He was one of the smartest players in the NFL, and often mixed in enough trash talk to fill hours of NFL Films archives — though he never swore. He was the ultimate character and his love for the game shined through …

data-mm-id=”_nf4jsjqhm”>Cam Newton's one-year deal with the New England Patriots has worked out swell for both sides so far. We are only three weeks into the season, yes, but Newton looks better than he has in several years and the Patriots are 2-1. Bill Belichick also isn't having meltdowns in the locker room after Newton dances his way across the field. Newton is still dressing like a man who doesn't care who's watching. Everything is well in Patriot Land. It's going well enough early on that it wouldn't be absurd to think about Newton sticking around for the long haul. He's only 31-years-old, the Patriots would have enough money to give him a market-value deal in free agency next offseason, and he does appear to enjoy the winning component of playi…

data-mm-id=”_wudurim40″>The Dallas Cowboys are a few days away from starting their fourth quarterback of the season against the ferocious Pittsburgh Steelers defense. They're 2-6 with no real hope for the 2020 season with Dak Prescott done for the year and the rest of the roster underperforming. Even in the terrible NFC East, Dallas' season feels over. Naturally, attention turns to what will happen after the year. The Cowboys will have to make the choice to either sign Prescott to a long-term deal despite his gruesome ankle injury or franchise tag him again for massive money after doing so this season. Behind Door No. 3, the Cowboys could go in a different direction entirely by letting Prescott depart in free agency and acquiring a quarterback through other means. On today&#0…
