The Buffalo Bills conversation must continue with the team's head coach declaring that Josh Allen needs to run less. An odd statement, true, but a statement that also aligns with how Sean McDermott has operated each postseason. We explain why the Bills cannot -- and likely will not -- water down their best player's game. Also, we talk evolution in pro football and why team's need to be open-minded...

The Baltimore Ravens great may be suffering from scary CTE symptoms today but, as he explains, he'd do it all over again. Lewis was candid on a variety of topics...

This was fun. I joined Matthew Coller of Purple Insider to dissect everything Vikings, Packers and NFC North. What's the Vikings' plan of attack with all of this roster shuffling? And why is Green Bay so adamant to rid itself of Aaron Rodgers? Is a trade close? Is Jordan Love better than Rodgers right now? We get into everything, including whether you'd take the Lions' steady build or Justin Field...

What a life it's been for Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin. He lost both his mother and grandmother before playing a down at Syracuse. Both women made him the man he is today. Read the full Q&A over at GoLongTD.com , too, if you'd like. Franklin emerged as one of the best linebackers in the league last season. Problem is, his Colts went 4-12-1. This hour, he opens up on everything... H...

Who separated themselves in free agency? The Jacksonville Jaguars were proof that spending in March can pay off. And across the league, owners and GMs were smart this spring. Look no further than the Carolina Panthers, a team that wisely spent after acquiring the first pick in the NFL draft. Miss our longform column on the Buffalo Bills' direction?

They're very, very close. Here on the podcast, with co-host Jim Monos, we discuss if the Buffalo Bills are taking the right steps toward winning the Super Bowl once and for all. We like their signings. They're adding tough players who'll contribute immediately. Now, Buffalo just needs a philosophical change.

The Buffalo Bills are clearly avid Go Long readers, eh? Last week, they signed Deonte Harty, who shared his story in 2021: https://www.golongtd.com/p/last-month-deonte-harris-nearly-quit On Monday, Trent Sherfield was added to the wide receiver room. He opened up about his turbulent football life ahead of free agency: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-trent-sherfield-prophecy Seems like a swell time...

Hey! What about those New York Giants? To get the front-office perspective on GM Joe Schoen's plan, we bring on co-host Jim Monos. The Bills decided to still tear things down after winning nine games in 2017. Why did Schoen choose a different path? We discuss. We meander. The old Rex Ryan Bills enter the chat with Monos reliving the Percy Harvin signing. Somehow, Janoris Jenkins and Cliff Harris f...

What a week for the New York Giants. GM Joe Schoen was able to lock up Daniel Jones, and the contract is more team-friendly than you may think. Saquon Barkley sticks around on the tag. And they hope they found a new featured weapon in the passing game: tight end Darren Waller. To dive into it all, I'm joined by Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News. He's an NFL columnist, a Giants beat writer and...

We check in with the exceptional Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated to see why the New York Jets are taking on the massive risk that is... Aaron Rodgers. After signs of decline in 2022 -- and general apathy -- it's fair to wonder if the four-time MVP is finished. So, why add a potentially malignant quarterback to a talented roster? GM Joe Douglas has a good thing going. Orr brings a wealth of knowled...

The Green Bay Packers have moved on to Jordan Love. The New York Jets want Aaron Rodgers. What's the hold-up? We discuss on the podcast. Also, Jimmy Garoppolo signs with the Las Vegas Raiders, Austin Ekeler wants more money and Tremaine Edmunds is off to the Chicago Bears. Will Buffalo go offense? We dive into all the headlines from the first day of "legal tampering" on the podcast i.e. the first...

The Packers president says what Go Long readers have known -- the team is moving on to Jordan Love. A trade must be close given Mark Murphy's comments at the Wisconsin girls state basketball tournament. It doesn't get much more honest than this. On a solo pod, I get into Murphy's comments, the blockbuster trade between Carolina and Chicago and why Miami picked up Tua Tagovailoa's fifth-year option...

The case of Lamar Jackson is... curious. We examine an odd tag deadline day for the Ravens quarterback. Why did so many teams immediately declare their disinterest? The Ravens don't want to use Jimmy Haslam's deal as a blueprint but they should have never let it get to this point. Also, the New York Giants beat the clock to ink Daniel Jones. Don't be alarmed by that dollar figure. And what's the l...

Don't be surprised if Aaron Rodgers waits longer. He's got a lot of leverage here, even if the Packers are itching to move on. For more clarity on the contract situation and Green Bay's exit strategy, I chat with my old pal at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: the excellent Tom Silverstein. He offers two surprise teams that could enter the chat if this drags on, and sheds more light on Jordan Love's...

Over at GoLongTD.com , I've got a feature live on guard Jon Feliciano, who'd love to be back with the New York Giants. He was unbelievably candid on all things Bills, Giants and his tumultuous homeless life in South Florida: https://www.golongtd.com/p/mongos-revival Here's our conversation for podcast listeners.

There was a Bills bombshell here at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Leslie Frazier is stepping down as the team's defensive coordinator, and plans to return to coaching in 2024. Likely for another team. The what now? Come again? To make sense of it all, we plug in co-host Jim Monos. He knows the coach who was added to Buffalo's staff this offseason: Al Holcomb. We also discuss the Continuity vs....

The conversation continues with a look a the other three quarterbacks whose futures are unknown. Jim Monos loves what the Ravens are doing, and sees this franchise shelling out a long-term deal soon. Daniel Jones won't get 45 mill, but he should at least ask. He remains fascinating: https://www.golongtd.com/p/is-daniel-jones-the-future Derek Carr? The Saints make sense...
