Getty Images With priorities firmly set on Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper for the Dallas Cowboys, cornerback Byron Jones is set to hit the free agent market when free agency begins in two weeks. According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Las Vegas Raiders will be among...

He’s didn’t say, “He’s not.” Or “let’s not.” Or “this guy.” (Or “yo yo ma.”) Enhanced audio has surfaced of the exchange between Julian Edelman and Tom Brady at Saturday’s North Carolina-Syracuse game. Apparently, Brady wasn’t even responding to Edelman says of Brady, “He’s coming back.”...

Getty Images If the Cowboys choose not to re-sign Jason Witten, which seems a possibility, it will be more about Blake Jarwin than about Witten. The Cowboys love Jarwin and need to get him more playing time than he had last season. He played only 39 percent of the offensive snaps, while Witten...

Getty Images Safety Justin Simmons expects the Broncos to use the franchise tag on him. Cornerback Chris Harris is more likely to hit free agency. Harris has expressed a willingness to stay put and said that “if they want me back, then I’ll be back,” but the team has taken the stance that it...

Getty Images Michael Thomas is going to be even more upset. The Saints receiver bristled at the news that the Tony Romo will make $17 million per year under his new deal with CBS. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post now reports that the deal is worth $18 million per year, over 10 years. It’s...

Getty Images The powers-that-be in Santa Clara have said and done all the right things in the 29 days since the 49ers lost the Super Bowl regarding the future of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But plenty of teams say one thing in February and do something else in March. Given that the 49ers have...

Getty Images As it goes with sizable football contracts, the best aspects of big broadcasting deals make the first headlines. The less impressive details emerge later. In the case of Tony Romo’s new contract with CBS, the initial impression created by the first wave of reports was that the...

Tom Brady quite possibly is a troll. And he quite possibly thinks Julian Edelman is a tool. Both attended Saturday’s North Carolina-Syracuse game, along with (who else?) Jimmy Fallon. A video of Edelman clearly mouthing to an ESPN camera “he’s coming back,” in even more clear reference to...
