With three games to go, the Falcons are washing their hands of the man who was supposed to help fix a moribund return game in 2025. Jamal Agnew did not provide that kind of help, and after costly miscues and a lot of forgettable returns, the team announced Saturday that they’ve cut him. Veteran cornerback […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers This division makes no sense.

Tampa Bay’s defense could not stop Kirk Cousins and the entire Falcons offense, and on the […]
The long-term future of Kyle Pitts was bound to gain more attention.
