Getty Images We capped a solid week of PFT Live drafts with an idea inspired by the ongoing championship series in the NBA and NHL. Every other sport uses a best-of-seven format. If the NFL did, which Super Bowl losers would have won a best-of-seven series? Simms and I picked three each, and...

Getty Images The Saints traded for cornerback Eli Apple last October and he played a starting role in the secondary as the team’s defense improved over the second half of the season, but that wasn’t enough for them to pick up their option on his contract for the 2020 season. Apple would have...

The Jets asked Vikings assistant General Manager George Paton to interview for their G.M. vacancy in 2013 and again in 2015, but Paton turned down the opportunity each time. Paton’s answer reportedly hasn’t changed in 2019. The Jets are looking for a G.M. after firing Mike Maccagnan and Paton’s...

Getty Images The Saints have added another running back to the offseason mix. Former Browns and 49ers running back Matt Dayes has joined the Saints, per a league source. A seventh-round pick of the Browns in 2017, Dayes appeared in 16 games as a rookie, returning 18 kickoffs and adding five...

Getty Images With the Blues and the Bruins squaring off in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1970, it’s fitting to remember one of the most iconic images in hockey history: Bobby Orr, flying through the air after scoring the Cup-clinching goal in overtime. It’s also fitting to...

Getty Images When the Saints signed tight end Jared Cook in March, there were a lot of people who shared the view that his partnership with quarterback Drew Brees would be a productive one for the team. Cook’s size and athleticism were the biggest reason to think that he’d open new avenues for...

Getty Images Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is going to get paid. Perhaps soon. Certainly a lot. But the idea of not going through OTAs didn’t occur to Thomas, who has a valid claim as one of the league’s most underpaid players. “I’m a football player first — I like being at work,”...

Getty Images Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan keeps noticing defensive stars collecting gigantic new deals. And while he’s got a strong case for an eventual extension, Jordan said wanting to stay with the Saints is about more than stacking up the next big contract. Jordan has two years...

Getty Images The NFL’s decision to extend replay review to pass interference penalties may prevent another 2019 Rams-Saints outcome (if the coach of the team on the wrong side of the bad call still has at least one challenge left, and at least one time out), but it may not prevent another 1975...
