West Palm Beach, Fla. – Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor talked about several topics During his 50-minute press conference at the NFL’s yearly gatherings, he addressed the condition of the guard position. The Bengals identified one of their primary needs during this offseason as bolstering their guard position following the release of Alex Cappa.

Cordell Volson is back and will join the competition after relinquishing his starting role in the previous season. The team also brings in an experienced guard.

Ravens Mull Lamar Jackson's Contract Extension in Internal Discussions

Image
PALM BEACH, Fla. — When quarterback Lamar Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension with the Ravens in 2023, it immediately made him the highest-paid player in the NFL. But things move quickly in the league, particularly when it comes to the game’s most important position. Despite Jackson having twice been named NFL Most Valuable Player and becoming the first player to pass for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 900 in the same year, as he did last season, there are now eight other quarterbacks averaging more money per year than Jackson’s $52 million. That's merely one of several factors prompting internal discussions, as mentioned by Coach John Harbaugh during Monday's press conference at the NFL's yearly owners meeting, regarding an extension for the quarterback's contract. “How far along that is, I don’t know,” Harbaugh said. And what might the value of a new contract for the star quarterback be? “The value is the top,” the...

Steelers Insider Unveils Team’s Future Blueprint at Quarterback

Image
The query on everyone's mind is Pittsburgh Steelers Fan query: Could you clarify what the team's strategy is for the quarterback position in the long run? I discussed this with Steelers insider Mark Kaboly, as many supporters are quite concerned following the recent frequent changes at the quarterback spot. Kaboly provided supporters with an honest assessment of the current situation. No strategy is penned in pen and on parchment since many things could shift within twelve months, Kaboly explained At present, their greatest chance is to utilize their possible four compensatory picks next year and create a trade bundle to move higher in the draft to secure someone they fancy. This indicates that Pittsburgh's plan for securing a long-term solution at the quarterback position centers around the 2026 NFL Draft rather than making an immediate move this year. Although they might choose to draft aQB who needs time to develop in 2025, it's evident that the team’...
