Wherever you place Joe Burrow among the best QBs in the NFL, there’s no denying he’s in the top five. Meanwhile, you can make a strong argument that his backup, Joe Flacco, is the best thrower of footballs coming off the bench. So it’s no surprise that CBS’ Jordan Dajani has the Bengals QB room […]

Year two of Nick Caley’s run as offensive coordinator will reveal exactly where this Texans offense is headed. The plan is clear: ease the burden on C.J. Stroud and spread it across a roster built for defined, specialized roles. Every move Houston made this offseason points to that shift. Instead of stacking depth with similar […]
Here are three teams that should consider trading for Michael Porter Jr. before the season as his contract situation remains unsolved.
Fourteen Years Ago Today The Blue Jays and the Astros made a ten-player trade: Happ played for us for 2.5 seasons. He was hurt quite a bit, including one injury when a line drive hit him in the head, and he ended up on the DL with a leg injury. In 2.5 seasons, he had […]
