Around the NFL: Titans backfield

The departure of Derrick Henry heightened the interest in Tennessee's second-year back Tyjae Spears. That was quickly taken away by the signing of Tony Pollard in free agency, at least somewhat. But I remain very interested in Spears, who seems to have a lot more breakout potential.   more »

Around the NFL: What rebuild?

The dust has settled after the major waves of the free agency period, and a couple of teams were surprisingly (to me, anyway) aggressive.

Around the NFL: Sunday Night Recap

If you like fumbles, boy do I have a game for you. What looked to be the ‘Game of the Week’ ended up being yet another Cowboys’ multi-score victory. Sunday’s game marked the eighth time this season that the Cowboys have won by two or more touchdowns. They look phenomenal on both sides of the ball. Meanwhile, the Eagles didn’t score an offensive touchdown this game, which marks the first time in 95 regular-season games.  more »

All three will now have to play the 2023 season on their franchise tenders, worth $10.09 million for running backs. Barkley and Jacobs have not signed their tenders and are not expected to attend training camp. Pollard, meanwhile, has signed his tender and is expected to be ready to go for training camp. Less

It’s been a tough offseason for running backs, with Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott and Leonard Fournette all released and Aaron Jones forced to take a pay cut. Joe Mixon may be next to move, and there was talk about the Titans moving Derrick Henry. It’s not a marquee position anymore.   more »
