There might not have been a more publicly shamed group than the Eagles’ linebackers last year. Poor linebacker play became the poster child for the failure of the so called “Dream Team” last year as the Eagles, widely projected to win 12-13 games, won 8 and missed the playoffs. The…

The 49ers won 13 games last year in the regular season, but still had one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Alex Smith was sacked more times than any single quarterback last year. This offseason, they lost starter Adam Snyder at right guard and have yet to find…

This might not be news to many, but Osi Umenyiora is unhappy with the Giants. Again. Osi has been upset with the organization for seemingly forever, over being a situational player behind Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul, as well as not being given a long term contract extension. There have…

Last season, AJ Jefferson was the starting cornerback for the Cardinals opposite Patrick Peterson. However, it appears he will have very stiff competition to remain the starter.

The Chiefs selected Dexter McCluster in the 2nd round in 2010 to be an elite return man and a dynamic offensive player capable of lining up at multiple positions and scoring from anywhere on the field. However, like many gadget players, he has become none of those things. He’s averaged…
