Adrian Peterson is one the biggest names in the NFL free agency. But so far, the running back has yet to find a team. Peterson is coming off an injury-plagued season wherein he played 3 games. At 32 years old, it seems that teams are reluctant to sign him but according to the player, finding the right team is most important.
The New York Giants reportedly don't have an interest in signing Adrian Peterson mainly because of one specific reason. That specific reason involves the way the New York Giants handled kicker Josh Brown.
Tony Romo claims a 97.1 career passer rating with 248 touchdowns and 117 interceptions over 156 games with the Cowboys.
Darrelle Revis may be looking to reunite with his former team in the New England Patriots if rumors are to be followed. The Patriots have signed Brandin Cooks to a lucrative deal that might lead to the eventual departure of Malcolm Butler. This leaves them with an open roster spot for the CB position to which the veteran Revis could fill in the spot.
Ezekiel Elliott is grabbing the headlines for the wrong reasons this offseason, and Cowboys legend and Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin gave him some advice.
FBI has returned the stolen Super Bowl jersey of New England Patriots' quarter-back Tom Brady on Thursday. This jersey was found out on Monday when the thief Ortega was seen stealing it on a video. The guy is not arrested yet.
The New England Patriots and LeGarrette Blount did discuss a possible deal but both sides couldn't come to an agreement.
The New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers offered more money but ultimately Dont'a Hightower turned both offers down and decided to return to the New England Patriots.

The No. 1 Chiefs lost their first game. The No. 30 team is 3-2. The Jaguars have the worst DVOA ever for the top-ranked defense after Week 6. These are among the signs of how strong parity has been so far during the 2017 NFL season.
Return scores galore and an important return for Marcus Mariota. Also: Atlanta blows another one, while Oakland finally blows one (to the Chargers no less). Finally, the best 0-6 team ever, the But Fumble?, and Detroit gets close to the largest comeback in NFL history.

World Cup soccer in the United States is not just about watching a bunch of players run around a field. It's about coming together, with people from all walks of life, to support a common cause. And we all lost that on Tuesday night.
Plenty of deep-seeded systemic issues within American soccer led to the USMNT's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but there were also plenty of problems solely on the senior team level. Here are ways U.S. Soccer can fix things.
Notre Dame may have went 4-8 last year, but it's already surpassed that win total with a 5-1 start in 2017, lifting it to No. 16 in the AP poll. Facing a tough remaining schedule, the Irish hope that a strong run game and improved defense can carry them to a playoff push.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been reinstated by the New York Giants. For all intents and purposes, that ends a scenario that has been quite bizarre. But according to the cornerback himself, that’s only fitting.Despite abruptly leaving the team and getting suspended for doing so, Cromartie is saying that he didn’t ask for a trade. He’s just a little crazy and dramatic. In addition to being crazy and dramatic, we can also add brutally honest.But in a way, this is a fitting way to sum up DRC’s ordeal with his team. It was dramatic and crazy. Hopefully, we can now say that it’s truly over.
NFL executives and owners met with players on Tuesday to discuss the issues surrounding national anthem protests, and commissioner Roger Goodell says there have been no plans proposed to prohibit such demonstrations going forward.Goodell, did, however, make it clear that the league and its owners would prefer if players stood during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”“We believe that our players should stand for the national anthem,” he told reporters on Wednesday, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “We want our players to stand, we’re going to continue to encourage them to stand.”The NBA currently has a rule in place that requires players to stand, but Goodell said the NFL is not going to go down that road. Instead, executives and owners are trying to find ways to raise awareness and make a difference in the community without protesting during the anthem.“They are not doing this in any way to be disrespectful to the flag, but they also understand how it’s being interpreted, and...
Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned. The Green Bay Packers will likely be without Aaron Rodgers for the remainder of the season after he suffered a broken collarbone last week. Kaepernick is a Wisconsin native and grew up a Packers fan.There’s obviously some train of thought out there that includes Green Bay picking up the phone and signing Kaepernick. How that would play in the rust belt remains to be seen, just ask former Packers tight end Jermichael Finley.While signing Kaepernick remains a major long shot, one Packers fan in California started a petition for the team to bring in the former Super Bowl quarterback. The petition now has nearly 17,000 signatures.“Aaron Rodgers is possibly out for the rest of the season but there’s a Wisconsin-born QB who should be on our team! Lets makes sure the organization know we support Kaepernick to the Packers,” the Change.org petition read.We can’t be sure how many are actual Packers fans. While...
Despite eking out a win Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Redskins suffered would could ultimately be a major injury moving forward this season.According to ESPN’s John Keim, rookie first-round pick Jonathan Allen will be out for the remainder of the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in the game.“Redskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen will miss the rest of the season, a source said. Allen suffered a Lisfranc injury in Sunday’s win over San Francisco,” Keim reported Wednesday.The 17th overall pick out of Alabama in April’s draft, Allen started each of the Redskins’ first five games at defensive end. Seen as an elite-level run stuffer, he recorded 10 tackles and a sack during that span.With Allen out, Washington will likely look at the veteran free agent market to fill his spot on the 53-man roster. Look for free agent acquisition Terrell McClain to start at defensive end for the remainder of the season.Washington heads into Week 7 ranked in the bottom...
Teddy Bridgewater was cleared to return to Minnesota Vikings practice this week 14 months after suffering a horrific knee injury. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer on Wednesday tried to temper any expectations related to Bridgewater’s remarkable return by opting to “put the brakes” on any speculation on how things would play out in the coming weeks. Bridgewater not only was cleared to practice, a report surfaced Wednesday that the quarterback will have “no limitations” moving forward. Zimmer also cautioned against any belief that even the Vikings know what to expect out of Bridgewater after such an extended absence. Bridgewater, Zimmer said, must prove one things above all else before taking any semblance of a next step. “He’s been in a very controlled environment for the last 14 months,” Zimmer said, via the Star Tribune. “So, eventually, we have to work him into some uncontrolled environments.”The Vikings have a three-week window beginning Wednesday to make an ultimate roster...
Cleveland Browns quarterback Kevin Hogan’s time under center with the team was very short-lived. After suffering a rib injury in Week 6, Hogan has been relegated to the No. 3 quarterback role behind starter DeShone Kizer and backup Cody Kessler. Hogan was called upon to start in Week 6 following the endless struggles of rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer. However, the second-year quarterback did not perform much better than Kizer. He completed just 54.05 percent of his passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. He also tossed three interceptions and took four sacks.The Browns are between a rock and a hard place with Hogan dinged up. The team has no other real choice but to start Kizer again in Week 7 and appoint Kessler as his backup. Kessler started in eight games last season and completed 65.6 percent of his passes and threw for six touchdowns versus two interceptions.Up next for the winless Cleveland Browns is a home matchup against the 3-3 Tennessee Titans. Earning a first win of...
The NFL has instituted a new referee hotline, where players, coaches, and mascots can lodge complaints, ask for explanations, and whine about calls without fear of a fine. It’s like 411 means 4th-and-11. Here, we’ve compiled the best of the week’s questions and responses, which are about as authentic as Jay Cutler’s love of football. We know when the hotline blings, that can only mean one thing – a Jets tight end is about to get his phone taken away.Jets vs. Patriots Dear Austin Seferian-Jenkins, We understand your frustration at having your touchdown reception taken away. However, the replay clearly shows there was a millisecond where you lost control of the ball, before you retained it, and thus the referees called a touchback and… I’m sorry we can’t do this anymore. OF COURSE it was a touchdown! Anyone could see that in real time, and especially on replay. But you have to understand, we had no choice! You see, you were playing the Patriots. That’s Bill Belichick’s team! And he’...
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn’t simply an impactful player when he’s on the football field. The former NFL MVP continues to drive up interest in the team’s product in the smallish Wisconsin city.Now likely lost for the season after suffering a collarbone injury in Week 6, Rodgers’ impact is being felt in a big way. Resellers in the area are seeing a dramatic drop in ticket prices for Packers games moving forward this season, with a ton of fans looking to sell their tickets.“Taking perhaps the hardest is Ticket King in Green Bay which says retail ticket value for the upcoming home game has already gone down at least 50%,” WBAY in Green Bay reported.Green Bay’s Super Bowl aspirations took a major hit when Rodgers went down against Minnesota on Sunday. It’s readily apparent that fans understand this full well.Even then, to see a mass exodus of those wanting to attend games isn’t a good thing. Green Bay is known as a football town. It’s all about the Packers. Lambeau...
Colin Kaepernick’s attorney, Mark Geragos, proclaimed this week a “high degree of confidence” his client will prevail in a collusion grievance filed against NFL owners.Geragos, speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper Tuesday night, added that a “smoking gun” exists that will prove owners colluded to keep the quarterback out of the league.“I am going to predict right now that we will have a smoking gun,” Geragos said on “AC360” Tuesday night, via CNN. “There are people who are not going to get into an arbitration proceeding and they are not going to lie. They are not going to lie. They are going to tell the truth and they’re going to say what happened. They were told no, you’re not going to hire him.” Kaepernick has yet to find a job after opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers this past offseason. A widely held suspicion is that owners are reluctant to sign Kaepernick over potential backlash due to his social activism and how he was the harbinger of the controversial...
As Teddy Bridgewater returns to practice for the first time since August of 2016, the largest question on everyone’s mind is just how he’ll respond to the practice field.Bridgewater suffered a horrendous knee injury in practice during training camp leading up to last season. He’s since been out for nearly the past 14 months recovering.Having been activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Monday, the Vikings have a three-week window to either put him on the 53-man roster or send an injured reserve designation the quarterback’s way.It looks like the former might be the case here. According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, Bridgewater has no physical limitations as he returns to practice. Barring a setback, there’s a chance the former first-round pick could start here in the not-so-distant future.That could be good news for a Vikings team that just recently saw Sam Bradford reaggravate the knee injury that cost him three games earlier in the season. It’s not yet known...
