John McClain calls for the Texans to trade Deshaun Watson

The Houston Texans seem to think they’ll win a standoff with quarterback Deshaun Watson. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle knows that the team won’t.

McClain, who has covered the Texans since their debut in 2002 and the Houston Oilers before that, makes the case that the time has come for the Texans to trade Watson. McClain’s voice is an important one; he’s been part of the fabric of Houston sports for decades. His words have impact. His voice has influence. Any Texans fans who don’t already understand and support Watson’s concerns will be more likely to do so once reading McClain’s column on the matter.

Many national voices have been saying for weeks what McClain is currently saying. It will be much harder for the Texans to ignore McClain than it has been for the team to ignore the opinions of outsiders.

Ranking veteran QB options for Patriots: Jimmy Garoppolo headlines group, don't rule out a Cam Newton return

The Patriots are a team without a quarterback at the moment, which is essentially the last place you want to be in the NFL. For the second offseason in a row, they are looking to replace Tom Brady, who seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit as he celebrates his Super Bowl LV title after inking a deal with the Buccaneers last March. For his old club in New England, it's back to the drawing board after a 2020 season that saw them under .500 for the first time since 2000 and on the outside looking in for the postseason. 

What Bill Belichick has working in his favor this offseason is that his club is now armed with a ton of cap space and owns a number of draft picks -- including No. 15 overall -- that he can utilize to improve the collective talent of his club. However, finding the quarterback needs to be priority No. 1. We're going to highlight and rank a number of realistic options the Patriots could target to be their next quarterback heading into 2021.

NFL demographics report shows Eagles requested an interview with Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy

The Philadelphia Eagles caught a lot of flack when Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid denied the report that the Eagles had requested a formal interview with OC Eric Bieniemy. Philadelphia eventually hired former Colts OC Nick Sirianni.

“Well, no, there was no formal interview for him sent in,” Reid told reporters ahead of Super Bowl LV. “They had talked early about it, but there was nothing formally sent in.”

Now some new information shows that the Eagles did in fact notify the league and the Chiefs of a formal interview request for Bieniemy. According to an NFL demographics report shared by Eagles beat writer Robert Maaddi, Bieniemy was the only minority coach to receive requests from each of the seven teams with head-coaching vacancies.

Why Nick Sirianni believes Jalen Hurts, any young quarterback can succeed in Eagles offense

The Philadelphia Eagles hired Nick Sirianni to help the franchise in the post-Carson Wentz era, a time the franchise will be developing a young quarterback to lead the organization for years to come. Whether that quarterback will be Jalen Hurts or a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is unknown, but Sirianni is confident any signal caller will succeed in the offensive system the coaching staff is creating. 

The Eagles have a young offensive coaching staff in place, starting with offensive coordinator Shane Steichen -- who already received rave reviews from NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert. Sirianni saw the progress Herbert made in 2020, convincing him Steichen can do the same in Philadelphia.

Tom Brady wanted to match Peyton Manning's rare championship feat, Buccaneers QB coach says

Tom Brady has always measured greatness by winning championships, a feat that cemented his status as the GOAT by winning his seventh Super Bowl championship this past season -- the most for any player in NFL history. While Brady has the most NFL championships for any player in the league's 101-year history, there was a feat he did not accomplish prior to this past season that a Hall of Fame quarterback achieved. 

Words can’t express the bond we have formed over the past 17 years @AGuerreroTB12. I’m so blessed to have you in my life! We have spent countless hours together, laughing, crying and everything in between. I couldn’t do it without you! Love you my brother @tb12sports pic.twitter.com/nHskIWQupo
