Football is almost back! The first preseason game, the Hall of Fame game, takes place this Thursday. As we did last year, we’re going to try and make some predictions for the 2024 NFL season. We had a middling go of it in 2023, but I suppose that’s to be expected when you’re trying to…
For some reason, you all love reading about returners (so do we!). We at Takeaways are here to please, and so we bring you the top 10 returners for the 2024 season! As with last year’s edition, for these rankings, both kick returners and punt returners will be evaluated. Neither type of returner will be…
Free agency is slow right now, but it’s certainly not over. Plenty of impactful players are there for the taking, and they should all be signed once they find the right fit and acceptable contracts. I thought we’d reassess the free agency landscape and see who’s still out there. We’ve got a mix of different…
The UFL championship has been awarded (congratulations to the Birmingham Stallions!), so let’s give our newly merged spring league some love! Think of this league as the minor leagues of football. Veterans and UDFAs who don’t make NFL rosters or practice squads can gain experience and put plays on tape. Dallas has struck gold here:…
Let’s face it: there’s not a lot going on in the NFL right now. We’re currently in the slow period of free agency, and training camps don’t open for a few more weeks. Only one thing can fix this problem: more football of course! College football isn’t around either, but we have the UFL, which…
The draft dust has settled. Free agency has come to a slow crawl. Let’s now shift to players on existing deals. Specifically, we’ll examine QBs because they’re so interesting. Among these players, who has the most on the line this upcoming NFL season? That’s what I’m here to talk about in this post. Many of…
Many publications have already posted their post-draft power rankings. I decided to wait to see if any teams signed more notable free agents after they learned what holes they still needed to fill. Well…pretty much nothing came of that. Sorry. But we’re here now! I won’t have “previous rankings” listed because these are my first…
Now that the draft is behind us (and I’ve graded your favorite team), it’s time to look forward. What better way to do that than to look at the players just selected and try to guess which of them will take home hardware at the next NFL Honors? I’m going to do my best to…
The much awaited 2024 NFL schedule has been released, and fans are already trying to determine whether their teams have a shot to win it all. Vegas has posted win totals for the 32 teams, and websites everywhere are poring over each detail hidden in these schedules. I’m not going to bother with any of…
Every year, hundreds of players who hoped to hear their names called go undrafted. This is not the end of their journey, however. Many of these players will be signed by NFL teams and given a chance to make their rosters; many of them will do just that. There are actually more UDFAs in the…
