In the spring of 2022, shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs had traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a bushel of draft picks, I had a conversation with an AFC general manager about the strength of the rookie class that was weeks away from being selected. He complained that it felt like a thin group on offense, particularly on the heels of the 2021 class. “The quarterbacks are weak,” the GM said. “Especially after last year’s group.” The fraternity he was speaking of included… Source link

Once again, Kirk Cousins won the checkbook Super Bowl. And once again, the victory will ripple across the NFL and into a multitude of different franchises, impacting the landscape of contract extensions, trades and the forthcoming draft. The subtext of Cousins’ four-year, $180 million pact with the Atlanta Falcons, includes $100 million in hard guarantees that will boost his earnings to at least $321 million over the course of his career. It’s another win in a long line of victories for… Source link

After falling 27-24 to the Atlanta Falcons, Justin Fields was carted off the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He had been seen earlier in the game receiving treatment on his hamstrings, and as the game ended, his left shoulder was clearly causing him pain. Fields had been riding a remarkable run coming into Atlanta. But his statistical achievements weren’t translating into wins. Coming into the game, Fields was 0-5 on the year when he had the opportunity to rally the Bears to victory from a… Source link

The Chicago Bears probably aren’t going anywhere this season. They’re 3-6, 1-5 in the NFC and moved two key defensive players at the NFL trade deadline. The goal is to improve and evaluate, get ready for a better day down the road. But it looks like they’ve found something at quarterback. And in the NFL, that’s always Job No. 1. Miami escaped with a 35-32 victory at Chicago on Sunday, but Justin Fields was the star of the day. Fields ran for 178 yards — a new regular-season record… Source link

The Chicago Bears gave Justin Fields the worst hand possible to play with this season. He has turned 2-7 offsuit into a big winner. The Bears haven’t helped Fields at all but he’s succeeding anyway. That is a great sign for the Bears moving forward, assuming they finally understand what they have and want to actually build around him. Fields was fantastic on Sunday as he continues to emerge as the best quarterback of the 2021 draft. Not that there’s been much competition there. The Bears lost… Source link

The 2021 NFL draft finally has arrived. It will be tough to beat the 2020 draft’s unexpectedly great theater, but five quarterbacks populating the upper reaches of this year’s Round 1 absolutely creates some early drama. In our final mock draft, we have a few big developments — namely two possible first-rounders – Alabama C-OG Landon Dickerson and LSU WR Terrace Marshall Jr. – sliding out of Round 1 because of medical concerns.  How much trade action will there be? That’s also a… Source link

NFL coordinator: Fields more ‘pure QB’ than Kyler Murray originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea Every year leading up to the NFL draft, analysts make comparisons between college prospects and players currently playing in the NFL. When it comes to Ohio State QB Justin Fields, the dual-threat QB has been compared to Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, or even a combination of the two. It all depends on who you ask, and how they evaluate the player.  One NFL coordinator views Fields as a better QB… Source link
