Getty Images Reporters covering the Patriots generally don’t believe the team will sign free-agent quarterback Andy Dalton. Gamblers currently do. FanDuel has made the Patriots a -105 favorite to land Dalton, meaning that a $105 bet wins $100. The Jaguars are at +150, the Steelers are at...

Getty Images Presumably, Andy Dalton becomes the backup to Dak Prescott in Dallas. But with Prescott not yet accepting a franchise tender with a value in excess of $31 million, it’s reasonable to ask the question posed in the headline of this item: Would the Cowboys rescind Dak’s tender? Until...

Getty Images Safety Devin McCourty is heading into his 11th season with the Patriots, so he spent a lot of time in the same locker room as Tom Brady since entering the NFL. Brady won’t be in the locker room whenever McCourty and the rest of the Patriots are back at the team’s facility...

Tom Brady will throw for right around the same passing yards this year in Tampa Bay as he threw for last year in New England, at least if the betting odds are in the right range. The odds at Caesars Sportsbook have Brady’s passing yards over/under at 4,099.5, and he’s at equal -110 odds to go...

Getty Images In each of the first five years of Andy Dalton‘s career, the Bengals made the playoffs. His coach for those five seasons, and three after that, was Marvin Lewis. Lewis spoke to PFT by phone on Friday regarding Dalton, who was cut by the Bengals on Thursday. “Wherever he ends up,”...

Getty Images Tom Brady made a generous offer for a charity auction, resulting in a very large donation to feeding people who lost their livelihoods in the coronavirus pandemic. Brady offered up four tickets to his first home game with the Buccaneers, his jersey and shoes from the game, and an...

Getty Images Some within the league think that the Buccaneers took a swashbuckler’s approach to landing quarterback Tom Brady, ignoring rarely-applied tampering rules in order to ensure that they got their man. And it worked; no one has seriously questioned whether the Bucs had premature...

Getty Images Amazingly, 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to be available. Someone who has coached Newton won’t be amazed by the way he plays once he’s back in the NFL. “I’ve seen that look before,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn told Mike Tirico on NBCSN’s Lunch Talk Live. “He’s got something to...

Getty Images Saints coach Sean Payton said over the weekend that the NFL has only 10 or 11 relevant teams at any given time. If he’s right (and he is), the challenge becomes identifying the 10 or 11 relevant teams. It’s easy to peg six or seven of them. It’s harder to identify the last few, at...

Getty Images Ryan Tannehill heard the Tom Brady-to-Nashville rumors. How could he not? But the Titans quarterback kept a let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may attitude that has served him well in his seven-year career. It helped him handle his many injuries in Miami. It helped him last season when...

Getty Images The NFL has spoken. Even if plenty of teams won’t be buying it. After repeated requests for comment from PFT regarding last week’s news that Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady wandered into the wrong house while trying to meet with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, the league...
