"I appreciate Commissioner Goodell agreeing to our suggestion and the entire Washington Football Team remains committed to fully cooperating with all aspects of the...

The Jaguars released Running Back Leonard Fournette Monday morning after just three NFL seasons. The Jaguars released Running Back Leonard Fournette Monday morning. The former fourth overall pick has played just three NFL seasons rushed for 2,631 yards and 17 touchdowns. MMQB Senior Writer Albert Breer joins Madelyn Burke to discuss what’s next for Fournette.

With Leonard Fournette now on the waiver wire, let's revisit the decision to draft him fourth overall in 2017. Plus, which other running backs are watching Alvin Kamara's contract situation, Ja'Marr Chase opts out, Logan Ryan to the Giants and more. So here we are, 10 days away from the regular season… • The backstory of Leonard Fournette is relevant today, as the former fourth overall pick hits the waiver wire , and (fair warning) what I’ll write here is going to be painful for Jaguars fans to hear. After Gus Bradley was fired late in the 2016 season, the team started the process of finding a new coach—and a number of guys that interviewed for the job (Josh McDaniels and Kyle Shanahan were on the list) told the team in no uncertain terms that it needed to move on from 2014 first-rounder Blake Bortles. In fact, one reason Doug Marrone was able to win the promotion from interim coach was because he was pragmatic in his thought the process, and willing to try and get Bor...

Terry McLaurin was one of the best pickups of the 2019 fantasy football season. The Washington receiver led the team with 919 yards, seven touchdowns and 58 catches. With McLaurin and quarterback Dwayne Haskins having a full season of NFL action under-their belt, many expect an even bigger year out of McLaurin. According to the latest ADP data, McLaurin is coming off the board as the 49th player overall and the 22nd wide receiver. Sports Illustrated’s fantasy football analyst Michael Fabiano was joined by Chris Russell and discussed what to expect from the second year playmaker. Are you a Fantasy Footballer?

The Giants have had their share of excellent running backs in their long NFL history. Here is a ranking of their 10 best running backs, plus a few honorable mentions. Who Are the Greatest Running Backs in Giants History? As a fan of the Giants since the mid-1970s, I've had the privilege of seeing many of the greatest running backs in team history. And as a student of the Giants' long history, I've learned about some of the best running backs from earlier eras of the franchise. The Giants have had their share of great players at this position. Take the simple metric of the 1,000-yard season: There have been 10 Giants running backs who have rushed for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Seven of those players have done it more than once, led by Tiki Barber with six. In the 2008 season, two Giants players, Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward, both ran for more than 1,000 yards. Of course, the 1,000-yard season is a relatively modern metric. Ron Johnson had the Giants' firs...

The Eagles used their first round pick, 21st overall, to grab TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor during the 2020 NFL Draft. Thanks to an impressive training camp, Reagor was expected to make an impact from Day 1 and earned a spot in the starting lineup. But then the explosive rookie injured his shoulder during practice and will miss four weeks of action. Should fantasy football players hold onto Reagor if he’s already been drafted? What round should the rookie get drafted in now that we know he’ll miss a few games? Sports Illustrated’s fantasy football analyst Michael Fabiano and editor of EagleMaven Ed Kracz answer those questions in the attached video.  Are you a Fantasy Footballer?

Big departures lead to Fox shaking up its NFL broadcast teams this season. 1 . We haven't seen many significant changes to the Sunday NFL broadcast teams for CBS and Fox over the past few years.  That was set to change for the 2020 season when Charles Davis left Fox's No. 2 team, with Kevin Burkhardt, to join CBS's No. 2 team, with Ian Eagle. The gig with Eagle opened up when CBS parted ways with Dan Fouts. Fox announced its full roster of NFL broadcast teams for the 2020 season on Monday, and here's what it looks like: • Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Erin Andrews and Mike Pereira • Kevin Burkhardt, Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Pam Oliver • Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth and Lindsay Czarniak • Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma and Shannon Spake • Kevin Kugler, Chris Spielman and Laura Okmin • Chris Myers, Greg Jennings, Brock Huard and Jennifer Hale •  Additional play-by-play announcers:  Dick Stockton, Tim Brando, Joe Davis and Brandon Gaudin • Additional analysts:  Brady...

Many NFL rebuilds flame out with no payoff at all. The Jacksonville Jaguars' post-2013 run had many more lows than highs, but at least they had a brief peak of real excitement. We can sit here all we want and utilize Monday’s news that the Jacksonville Jaguars released Leonard Fournette as another launching pad to bang a team that has transitioned into a full-on sprint in the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. Do you remember when they drafted the Heisman Trophy winner over Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, with Blake Bortles entering his fourth year as their quarterback? Do you remember Luke Joeckel (No. 2 overall, 2013)? Remember Dante Fowler (No. 3 overall, 2015, now a Falcon)? Jalen Ramsey (No. 5 overall, 2016, now a Ram)? Do you remember budding star Yannick Ngakoue, who was traded to the Vikings over the weekend for a pair of mid-round picks? It’s the football equivalent of an easy, tired punchline. The Have you tried airline food!? of our bizarre world. But allow me for a...

Jacksonville spent the fourth overall pick on the former LSU running back in the 2017 NFL Draft and have now cut ties with the 25-year-old rusher. Just three years after taking Leonard Fournette with the fourth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Jaguars have released their 25-year-old rusher. The rocky relationship between the team and their running back is well-documented; withholding bonuses and suspending him for what the team deemed conduct detrimental to the team and benching him during games. Fournette will now hit the open market where several teams should pounce on the 2019 1,000 yard rusher. The Eagles, Bears, and Patriots are all rumored to be interested in signing the running back. As for the Jaguars remaining running backs, Chris Thompson and Ryquell Armstead are expected to split the workload in Jacksonville’s backfield. The team may also look to sign one of the many free agent veteran running backs including Devonta Freeman.

Tom Brady's training camp in Tampa Bay: high standards, encouraging words and a players-only meeting. Plus, how football took a back seat to social justice issues this week, Yannick Ngakoue's move to Minnesota, recapping Albert's camp trip and much more. TAMPA— I spent two days down here and, full disclosure, Day 1 had me wondering. There were throws in the dirt. There were drops. Maybe strangest of all, there was No. 12, the hyper-intense, hyper-detailed legendary prize-fighter of a quarterback, in the middle of it all, handing the situation with, weirdly enough … positivity? Nice play, Huddy! Way to go, Mike! Great bench route, Chris! All day, fellas! This, at least to me, looked like a different Tom Brady than the one I’d seen in New England over the last two decades. And coupled with the practice I was watching—the kind that would set him off on the practice fields of Foxboro—I started to think about, and probably overthink, what I was seeing. That was eight da...
