In case you missed it, here’s a look back at some of our recent originals:
- Tim Tebow hasn’t played in a regular season game since 2012, when he was with the Jets. Now, he’s vying for a spot on the Jaguars’ roster. Will he pull it off? Sam Robinson asked PFR readers to weigh in and, so far, ~46% of you say that the former University of Florida standout will make the cut. Meanwhile, about 25% say he’ll make the practice squad and ~30% think that he’ll be released outright.
- Six years ago, the Chiefs promoted Chris Ballard and Brett Veach to larger roles in John Dorsey‘s front office. The move vaulted Ballard up the NFL ranks, leading him to the Colts’ GM job. Meanwhile, Veach stayed and wound up as Dorsey’s successor in Kansas City. As Sam notes, the Chiefs are happy with the way things turned out. Despite going 50 years between their second and third Super Bowl appearances, the Chiefs have become the AFC’s best team to start this decade.
- Meanwhile, Ben Levine took us all the way back to 1999, when the NFL approved Dan Snyder as the new owner of the Washington football franchise. Snyder’s first season at the helm saw ten wins, but fans have been less-than-thrilled over the last 20+ years.
- Victor Cruz will always be remembered for his standout Giants seasons and his iconic salsa dance. But, in 2017, Cruz tried to start a new chapter in Chicago. Here‘s a look back at his short-lived Bears tenure, his Giants contract, and an important reminder for NFL players — always insist on guaranteed cash.
