Unless Cousins is willing to negotiate a significant cut in his salary for the upcoming season(s) I sincerely doubt anyone will be interested in trading for him. Per Google quoting ESPN: Kirk Cousins' salary this year (2025) with the Atlanta Falcons is $27.5 million, which is his guaranteed base sal...

Well, as a fellow center named Jay I am all in favor of his inclusion in the Hall of Fame. I'm very happy we (at least) got him into the Hall of Very Good in 2020. ...and anyway whose favorite player is a center? That'd be me. My favorite player is Chuck Bednarik (and yes, I played linebacker, too)....

Are we talking regular season only? If so my answer wouldn't change (1973) but other teams would rank higher in my view This is certainly not an in-depth study of each team. I was curious as to how each team ranked that season compared to other teams in their league/conference so I looked at the to...

I don't know that I have a final opinion on ranking Shula's best teams but I did find their relative offensive/defensive placement interesting. PFR's listing based on points (as opposed to yardage): 1964 Colts: 1/1 of 14 NFL teams 1965 Colts: 3/4 of 14 NFL teams 1967 Colts: 2/2 of 16 NFL teams 1968 ...

Was Eli ever a Charger?

I think the answer to this question depends on the time and context of the individual being discussed. This probably is currently the case: Your rights go to that team immediately until and unless you are released, so that's another way to look at it. You're not anything else once you're drafted. Yo...

Assuming it is OK to post these links here (please delete them if this is not the case), The Football Learning Academy's Hall of Honor has "enshrined" each of those three and dedicated a page on their site to them (which is an excellent source of information): Hall of Honor - Herman Kercho...

Not to start a firefight or anything quite so dramatic but you're continuingly telling us that is entirely not the case.
Here's an example from earlier today...

I think (at least mathematically) the current division/conference alignments make sense. 32 teams divided into 2 conferences each of which has four divisions of four teams... it is simple and elegant and makes the standings and playoffs (relatively) easy to comprehend. And it is relatively easy to s...
