In his first game with that big contract, Julio Jones was worth every penny.
Jones hauled in nine passes for 141 yards, including a pair of touchdowns, and the Atlanta Falcons came back after squandering a 17-point halftime lead to beat the Philadelphia
The Eagles have released Tim Tebow, ending the former Heisman Trophy winner’s bid to win the No. 3 quarterback job for Chip Kelly in Philadelphia.
Tebow was one of 22 players released Saturday by the Eagles, who also cut veteran offensive lineman John Moffitt and rookie running back Raheem Mostert.
All NFL teams must reduce their rosters to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, but Tebow appeared to be in contention for a roster spot after Philadelphia traded Matt Barkley to the Arizona Cardin
Tim Tebow of the Philadelphia Eagles warms up prior to the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 16, 2015 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
In wake of the fights breaking out at joint practices—the Rams and Cowboys this week, the Redskins and Texans earlier in August as depicted on HBO’s Hard Knocks—it isn’t that shocking to hear that there was nearly a fight between the Eagles and Ravens Wednesday.
That is, until Tim Tebow intervened.
From reports, it was unclear exactly who
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III (10) is examined after an injury during the first half of an NFL preseason football game against the Detroit Lions, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015, in Landover, Md.
With zero help from his offensive line, Robert Griffin III repeatedly wound up on the turf until leaving with a concussion after being sacked three times and fumbling twice Thursday night in the Washington Redskins’ 21-17 exhibition victory over the Detroit Lions.
Griffin went 2 for 5 fo

It was hardly a “U mad bro?” type of moment for Richard Sherman when Tom Brady’s name came up after the Seattle Seahawks finished off a camp practice this week.
It was more a matter of Sherman feeling Brady’s pain.

For the second year in a row, Rawsrvnt's music has been used in a CBS telecast of a Miami Dolphins game.
This year's track, titled "Go Hard," features West Coast artist Transparent and will be played during the team's pre-season game against the Chicago Bears on Miami's WFOR-TV. It will also broadcast on the station's CW network channel (WBFS-TV).
In 2014, Coach Joe Philbin played Rawsrvnt's "Game Changer" song during a regular segment on his show for th

If it’s preseason it must be time for Robert Griffin III to utter meaningless quotes that are ridiculed for his complete lack of self awareness. And (checks watch), it’s time.
Here was the Redskins quarterback, who should no longer be referred to as “RG3” because nicknames are for people who aren’t in quarterback battles with Kirk Cousins, speaking to Alex Parker of Washington’s ABC affiliate right before the ‘Skins broke camp (via DC Sports Bog):

With a healthy Aaron Rodgers ready to resume his pinpoint passing, the Green Bay Packers will start the season as the No. 1 team in the AP Pro32 power rankings.
In balloting by the 12 media members who regularly cover the NFL, the Packers finished ahead of the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
Green Bay received six first-place votes and 375 points, with the NFC champion Seahawks earning four first-place votes and 367 points. The Super Bowl champion Patriots totaled two first-place
This is not a popular opinion. Eleven months after the awful video surfaced showing him punching his soon-to-be wife, Rice remains a pariah. Most Americans view him as the personification of domestic violence, and he says he understands that. Most NFL teams are afraid to touch him, fearing the public onslaught that is certain to come should they bring him in, and he says he understands that, too.

In March, Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was asked when the NFL would have a female coach.
The answer was Monday.
The Cardinals hired Jen Welter as an assistant coaching intern for training camp and the preseason to work with inside linebackers. She is believed to be the first female coach of any kind in the NFL.
“Someone asked me yesterday, ‘When are we going to have female coaches?'” Arians said. “The minute they can prove they can make a player better, they’ll be hired.”
Welter took
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has upheld Patriots quarterback Tom Brady‘s four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on integrity of the game, the league announced Tuesday.
Brady was suspended four games in May after footballs used by the Patriots during the AFC Championship Game against the Colts were found to be inflated under the minimum level prescribed by the league. Along with the NFL Players Association, Brady challenged his penalty and testified before Goodell at an appea

As the old saying goes, quarterbacks usually get the credit when a team wins but also take the brunt of the blame during the down times. FOX Sports Senior NFL Writer Alex Marvez takes a look at 11 QBs who enter the preseason under even more pressure than what playing the position customarily brings.

The Jameis Winston era is about to begin this fall in Tampa Bay, and Winston seems to have made a positive first impression on his new teammates. During an appearance on Sirius XM radio, veteran receiver Louis Murphy lauded Winston’s competitive spirit and compared him to Eagles backup Tim Tebow.
“He competes. He doesn’t like losing. He wants to win and that’s a guy I want to play with. He’s young, kind of similar to Tim Tebow in a way, he just wants to win. He’ll do anything it takes to wi
The New Orleans Saints should see Cam Newton for several more seasons with the Carolina Panthers. The Charlotte Observer and USA Today are among many outlets to report Newton will be paid at least $20 million per year over a five-year extension that will run through 2020.
The contract will put Newton in the company of the Saints’ Drew Brees as a quarterback with a $20 million average annual salary. Other quarterbacks with $20 million per year deals are the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers, Steelers’
The Minnesota Vikings will open their optional team practices this week without Adrian Peterson.
The star running back has told coach Mike Zimmer that he will not attend the three days of team work that begin Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Sunday night. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue.
Peterson did attend the optional workouts last summer while Zimmer was orienting himself in his first
The Deflategate controversy took an interesting turn on Tuesday when Robert Kraft threw in the towel instead of challenging the NFL like many thought he would.
On Sports Tonight, Michael Felger suggested Kraft did an about-face with his argument because he and coach Bill Belichick were starting to believe that Brady wasn’t being completely transparent with what he told them.
That’s when Ron Borges threw out an interesting piece of information.
“Belichick never believed his story, from what I
Despite a near constant stream of trade rumors, the Titans held onto their No. 2 pick and landed Marcus Mariota.
The 2014 Heisman Trophy winner was thought to be coveted by his former college coach, Chip Kelly, as well as higherups from the Browns, Bears and Jets.
In the end, though, the Titans liked him enough to decline any and all offers that headlined one of the busier pre-draft periods in recent memory.
Mariota will provide a challenge for Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who will need
Class is in session, and Robert Griffin III is taking notes.
The Washington Redskins quarterback got a firsthand look at how Tom Brady and the New England Patriots operate last preseason when the two teams held joint practices in August. The squads then went in completely opposite directions, as Griffin’s Redskins finished 4-12 while Brady’s Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl.
Yet apparently RGIII’s observations of New England stuck with him. In a recent interview with NFL Media’s Jeff
Just days after Johnny Manziel admitted that he needs to take his job ‘a lot more seriously,’ the rookie quarterback was late to report to the team for medical treatment after, according to ESPN, throwing a party on Friday night that led to teammates Josh Gordon and Justin Gilbert missing team meetings (Gilbert was deactivated for the season finale, and Gordon was suspended).
Manziel’s misstep off the field has reignited the debate over whether or not he’s committed enough to become a succes
