    NFL free agency 2020: The first grades are in

    NFL free agency is not only about doling out massive contracts. There are trades, salary-cap casualties, bargains and scheme fits to consider. The interesting thing about the first week of free agency in 2020 is the winners are an unusual crop of starved franchises. On the flip side, perennial playoff teams of the past decade …

    Jets cut Darryl Roberts as cornerback purge continues

    The Jets may be thin at cornerback, but that did not stop them from dumping another one from last season on Saturday. They released Darryl Roberts, who started 10 games for them last year, clearing $6 million in salary cap space. The timing of the move makes sense with $2 million of Roberts’ 2020 salary …

    Joe Douglas’ rebuild of Jets is far from over

    The Joe Douglas approach to free agency has become clear this week. The Jets’ general manager has eschewed spending big money on the top free agents and instead targeted value plays.

    NFL free agency 2020: Giants add Colt McCoy as Daniel Jones backup

    The Giants have a new quarterback. Daniel Jones’ starting job is safe, but there is a new favorite for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart — last occupied somewhat uncomfortably by two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning before retirement.
