“For some reason the defense was giving me way too much space,” said Ward. “I just decided to wind […]

This NFL offseason has been the best in league history. There has been an unprecedented amount of player movement throughout only the first week of free agency action. We have seen countless trades and signings that will change the landscape of the NFL for years to come.
The first blockbuster trade to occur this offseason was when the Seattle Seahawks traded Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a couple of first round picks, and three players. This move made the already star studded AFC West even more loaded, but that would be far […]
