On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2024 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
We’re in the holiday season, and I was deciding whether I should be like the Grinch or full of cheer. New York gave me an analogous dichotomy: do I focus on things like QB Tommy DeVito exiting with a concussion as part of the Giants’ miserable season, or do I praise the Jets for their…
This week in the NFL, a pair of playoff spots were clinched, with Kansas City once again taking the AFC West and the Eagles earning a berth due to an Arizona loss. In other Eagles news, RB Saquon Barkley set the team’s single-season rushing record. He is actually on pace to break Eric Dickerson’s long-held…
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! One team who had a really good week was Buffalo. The Bills got LB Matt Milano back from injury, made a ridiculous play through Josh Allen and Amari Cooper magic, and clinched the AFC East for the 5th-straight year. Conversely, Jacksonville has less to be thankful for. QB Trevor Lawrence left with…
As promised, I have made a centralized post for all coaching move-related grades (most recent first) now that 2024 has begun. Perfect way to celebrate Black Monday right? For those who aren’t aware, Black Monday is the Monday after the final week of the regular season. The teams that missed the playoffs decide whether to…
Just because a season-high 6 teams were on a bye doesn’t mean we had any less action this week! The Lions reached 10-1, which is their best record since 1934. Baltimore won the latest edition of the Harbaugh bowl. Elsewhere in the AFC North, we had our first snow game of the year. Miami and…
As with the coach-related page, I have made a centralized post for all 2024 GM move-related grades (most recent first) as well. Once again, these moves are typically made on or near Black Monday, the first Monday after the regular season concludes. Moves can occur midseason or after the draft, but these are rare and…
What happened this week? Oh, not much. The last unbeaten team lost, Green Bay became the second team in two weeks to win by blocking a field goal, and we had our longest play of the year on a 98-yard Nick Westbrook-Ikhine TD catch (for the Titans of all teams). WR Nico Collins returned for…
This was an odd week to say the least. The Bears and Jets were absolutely horrid, and they got crushed. Lions QB Jared Goff was also putrid, but he somehow won. Four different two-win teams earned victories this week, while three division leaders lost. Even the teams on byes weren’t out of the news. Browns…
We just completed week 9, which means that we’re at the approximate halfway point of the 2024 campaign. That means it’s also trade deadline time! That has just passed, so as in 2023, it’s time to re-evaluate where everyone stands. Much change has taken place since week 1, and we’ve learned a great deal about…
