Many are split on which highly-touted quarterback — Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III — should get the dubious honor of succeeding Peyton Manning in Indianapolis. Some mocks have Luck landing with the Colts at No. 1 overall, while other prognosticators project Griffin III in the same spot. This will inevitably change dozens of times [...]

Realizing his career with the Bengals may indeed be a wrap, Cedric Benson — again — took the time out to air his displeasure with the organization.

The Steelers, as they’ve traditionally done, uncovered a gem in Mike Wallace, turning a third-round draft selection in 2009 into one of the league’s most explosive players today. Unfortunately, it’s a double-edged sword, as his playmaking ability might make it tough for the team to retain the Pro Bowl receiver. NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora reported [...]

Obviously, it goes without saying that Peyton Manning and Chris Weinke had entirely different NFL careers; one is a surefire Hall of Famer, and the other is … well, a surefire has-been. Though, as far as they are from each other on the football spectrum, there is one thing that binds them both: Spinal fusion [...]

Almost exactly four months ago, Hue Jackson, then the Raiders head coach, pulled off a midseason stunner with the acquisition of quarterback Carson Palmer. Now, Jackson finds himself a member of Palmer’s previous employer. Funny how the NFL works sometimes.
