Starting pitching was a weakness for St. Louis in 2023. Concerns about new catcher Willson and the pitching staff were raised, but president of baseball operations John Mozeliak eventually committed to bring in at least three new starters during the offseason. He kept that promise by signing Gray, Gibson, and Lynn, with…

The Philadelphia Eagles will need to address the running back issue this offseason, as D’Andre Swift, Boston Scott, and Rashaad Penny are all eligible for free agency.

With a huge need at cornerback, Jared Ramsey of The Detroit Free Press advocated that the Lions sign veteran Stephon Gilmore, who has already won the honor. Ramsey identified Gilmore as one of six Lions cornerbacks “to watch” this offseason. “Long been considered one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, even taking home a Defensive Player of the Year in addition to his two All-Pros and five Pro Bowls, and delivered a solid 2023 season for the NFC East-winning Cowboys,” Ramsey said…

Aidan Hutchinson, one of the league’s top young edge rushers, plays for the Detroit Lions. Due to the dearth of other significant EDGE presences, teams were able to send several blockers to account for the Michigan product.

Brugler projected that the Lions would take Penn State defensive end Chop Robinson at No. 29 overall. The former Nittany Lion had a terrific performance at the NFL Combine,…

The Steelers were active in the 2023 NFL Draft under new general manager Omar Khan, trading up for Broderick Jones, their next franchise left tackle. Is Pittsburgh intending to do the same in 2024, targeting one of the class’s top playmakers? According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Steelers were one of the teams that spoke with Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, and he believes it should not be disregarded. “The reason why those are interesting is those would be potential trade up teams,” Rapoport told ESPN. “It’s rare to see a large…
