Another day, another "Tom Brady will sign here" rumor.  The free agent QB is now supposedly linked to as many as 8 teams.  Is there anything to these stories.  Or is this an attempt to make the Patriots think they may lose him?  The Jaguars continue their fire sale by trading CB AJ Bouye to the Broncos.  Who will be left in Jacksonville when the team is done clearing house?  And we continue our pr...

The Lions have made it known they are willing to trade one of there best players, are they going into full rebuilding mode or is this just a necessary move from a player they don't think they will be able to afford.  We review the Tight End free agent market and who we believe will land the top talent at a very shallow position.  And finally we continue our pre free agency breakdown with 3 more te...

The Falcons have allegedly discussed releasing RB Devonta Freeman.  While on the outside this may look like a smart salary cap saving mood, but it may not be exactly what it seems.  Find out why we think the Falcons best move may be to keep the inconsistent RB.  Myles Garrett has been reinstated with what amounts to only a 7 game suspension after nearly seriously injuring Steelers QB Mason Rudolph...
