Quarterback The Jets have by far the longest playoff drought in the NFL, not making the post-season since 2010, while every other team has made it since 2017, with all but one other team making it since 2020. Complete organizational dysfunction has been to blame. The Jets have used six…

Quarterback Two years ago, the Falcons took an interesting approach to resolving a major need at quarterback. They signed veteran Kirk Cousins to a 4-year, 180 million dollar deal with 100 million guaranteed, even though he was in his mid-30s and coming off of an achilles tear, and then they…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos 2026 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Broncos finished last season 14-3, but they benefitted significantly from having the second easiest strength of schedule in the league in terms of opponents’ record and their schedule was even easier than that.
