Ryan Jensen signed a record contract for an NFL center with the Buccaneers ($42 million over four years), in part because they’re a team he believes provides the best chance for immediate success.

After being medically cleared to return from a concussion while sitting out the 2017 campaign, safety Su’a Cravens was ready to return. And on Thursday, the Redskins traded him to the Denver Broncos.

NFL former head of officiating Mike Pereira doesn’t like the idea the new lowering-the-head rule, nor does he think it’s the solution to the NFL’s efforts to remove the helmet as a tool/weapon when initiating contact.

Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard is struggling to wrap his mind around the league’s new rule that calls for a 15-yard penalty and possible ejection if a player lowers his head and makes contact with another player.

In a surprise move, the NFL announced at its annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., a new rule that calls for a player to be penalized 15 yards and possibly ejected whenever he lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.

As far as Jay Gruden is concerned, the Washington Redskins’ offseason has been a success. It began with the trade that sent quarterback Alex Smith from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Redskins.

Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden is not among the coaches who believes that the NFL’s proposed change to the catch-no catch rule provides a solution to making more correct calls.

Travis Kelce is ready for a significant change to the Kansas City Chiefs’ passing game in the 2018 season.

There was a lot of talk about the rain, that it helped Sam Darnold prove to NFL talent-evaluators he can handle adverse weather. Brady Quinn, for one, wasn’t buying that.

When you’re presumed to be one of the top quarterback prospects in the NFL Draft, you tend to draw a lot of attention. That’s the case with former Wyoming standout Josh Allen, especially as he gets ready for Friday’s Pro Day in Laramie.

Former Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson is thrilled to be joining the Redskins, who have both the role that suits his skills and the quarterback in Alex Smith who can take advantage of them.

For Allen Robinson, there never was much of a question about which teams showing interest in him as a free agent would provide the best landing spot. It was always the Chicago Bears.

Kyle Williams’ hunger to win a championship with the Buffalo Bills drove him to return to the team for a 13th season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut Cameron Brate not once, not twice, but three times.

K.J. Wright can’t hide the emotional pain. Two outstanding teammates, and close friends, are gone from the Seattle Seahawks.

DaeSean Hamilton didn’t run the 40-yard dash at the recent NFL Scouting Combine, saving that event for his March 20 Pro Day at Penn State. Hamilton isn’t concerned about the one question some scouts have about the sort of impact … Continued

Pat Kirwan sees no way the Miami Dolphins can afford to pay the $8.5 million guaranteed roster bonus defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is scheduled to receive if he’s on their roster on March 19th.

As a pending free agent, guard Jack Mewhort can’t be certain of the identity of his next NFL employer, assuming there is one. He would like to remain a member of the Indianapolis Colts, with whom he has spent the past four seasons, but he realizes that anything is possible.

For Saquon Barkley, his best showing at the NFL Scouting Combine last week wasn’t on the field. It was what he did behind closed doors during the 15-minute interviews with each team that requested one with him.

As far as new Houston Texans General Manager Brian Gaine is concerned, everything about Deshaun Watson’s second season with the team looks to be encouraging.

The whirlwind that has been Mike Vrabel’s first month as coach of the Tennessee Titans has seen him pull off one of the more impressive moves by anyone to hire a defensive coordinator. Vrabel managed to land one of the best in the business by convincing Dean Pees to end the retirement he began only four weeks earlier as a member of the Baltimore Ravens’ staff.

John Elway sees no point in resisting the trend. Quarterbacks emerging from college football mostly work from spread-type offenses with ample run-pass option (RPO) plays.

Jon Gruden is ecstatic with his quarterback. And why wouldn’t he be? Derek Carr has shown difference-making ability for the Oakland Raiders.

Steve Wilks is a new NFL head coach, but he has been around the league long enough to fully appreciate how vital it is to find the right quarterback.

Following a devastating loss in Super Bowl LII, would it be fair to say that the culture has changed within the New England Patriots organization?

The NFL Scouting Combine is under way in Indianapolis, and many of the nation’s top college prospects are in for a rigorous stretch of long days spent meeting with team representatives, going through medical examinations, participating in drills, and taking tests. For former Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, the challenges might not be as great as they are for other players.

By the start of the 2018 NFL season, Josh McCown will be 39 years old. He doesn’t see that as a deterrent for continuing to play quarterback in the league.

Wyoming coach Craig Bohl loves the arm strength of his former quarterback, Josh Allen, but he also recognizes the largest flaw in his game.

Reggie Wayne is tired of seeing the team with which he was a part of so much success wallow in so much failure. The former standout Indianapolis Colts wide receiver believes there’s a way for the Colts to return to strength, and it’s obvious: Quarterback Andrew Luck must get and stay healthy.

Frank Reich won’t start digging into the type of team he has until next week. That’s when the new coach of the Indianapolis Colts plans to start “exhaustively” watching videotape and studying all of the details of his roster along … Continued

Baker Mayfield is really tired of hearing Johnny Manziel’s name when evaluating the former Oklahoma quarterback’s downside heading into the NFL Combine and Draft.

After eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Morgan Burnett feels the sort of attachment to the team that won’t be easily broken. At the same time, he wants to keep playing in the NFL. He’d like it to continue … Continued

In the midst of all of the euphoria since hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy earlier this month, the Philadelphia Eagles want it known that they have no intention of this being a one-time thing. As safety Rodney McLeod recently pointed … Continued

The relief is tremendous. Larry Fitzgerald is more than a highly talented wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. He is standard setter, the catalyst, the difference-maker on and off the field. ‘I kind of thought it was going to go … Continued

Saquon Barkley knows that many NFL draft prospects before him and some in the Class of 2018 don’t believe that working out at the Scouting Combine is a good idea. The former standout running back at Penn State wholeheartedly disagrees with that perspective.

Brady Quinn remembers both the teammate, but especially the man with whom he spent one season as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Derrick Johnson evokes those kinds of feelings for what the linebacker did on and off the … Continued

The Detroit Lions had more than one candidate to fill their head-coaching opening. Nevertheless, it was going to be difficult for someone to have anything approaching the connection that General Manager Bob Quinn had with the man he hired, former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

Proud doesn’t do justice to describe the way Marv Levy feels about Frank Reich becoming the new coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Levy, who coached the Buffalo Bills when Reich was the backup quarterback behind Jim Kelly, is absolutely ecstatic.

Josh Rosen thinks he knows the biggest questions he’ll have to answer for NFL teams leading up to the draft. They’re the same as the ones pretty much everyone else who has been evaluating the former UCLA quarterback has.

In the end, Pat Kirwan thought Jimmy Garoppolo received maybe $1 million more than he expected, but was hardly surprised that the San Francisco 49ers signed the quarterback to a five-year, $137.5-million contract making him the highest-paid player in the … Continued

Former coach Charlie Weis reacted the way so many others did to Tuesday night’s news that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was backing out of his agreement to become head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. “I was befuddled,” … Continued

Until the former standout linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens heard the knock on his hotel room door from Pro Football Hall of Fame president Dave Baker, who would inform him that he had been chosen, Ray Lewis felt as anxious as his fellow finalists.

Nick Foles went from backup quarterback to Super Bowl MVP. What’s next for the NFL journeyman?

Randy Moss had the numbers that said he should be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What the star receiver wanted to make clear Saturday after being voted in as a first-ballot finalist was what was behind … Continued

Nick Foles knows that the New England Patriots are notorious for playing mind games with opposing quarterbacks. That’s why the Philadelphia Eagles’ QB intends to do his very best not to allow him to get sucked into that little cat-and-mouse … Continued

James Harrison didn’t struggle with having to adjust his mindset from being a linebacker with the Pittsburgh Steelers for virtually the entire 2017 season before suddenly signing as a free agent with the New England Patriots.

How much do the folks in Minneapolis actually know about the Super Bowl? Jenny McCarthy roamed the Mall of America to find out.

A little cold weather couldn’t stop SiriusXM from going all out for Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.

Talk about a wild ride. One day, Jay Ajayi was a member of the Miami Dolphins, the team that made him a fifth-round draft pick in 2015. The next, he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are seeking their sixth Super Bowl victory with the Patriots, which would only enhance their already historic stranglehold on winning the big game. But Brady wants to make one thing clear: he takes nothing for granted when it comes to the chance to hoist yet another Lombardi Trophy.

Brandin Cooks has any number of number of teammates who can tell him all about the Super Bowl experience.

They’re looking at the basics. Not simply the ones that apply to all that happens on the football field — blocking, tackling, running and throwing — but also those that are vital to what takes place in daily NFL off-field live. Such as meetings.

The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots are set to face off in Super Bowl LII in Minnesota next Sunday, but before then some of the biggest names at SiriusXM are taking a trip to the cold to give listeners the first-hand experience leading up to the big game.

Terrell Owens knows the perception around him, but that’s not going to stop him from speaking his mind.

Once again, Terrell Owens is a finalist for selection into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Once again, his candidacy will be discussed during the Hall’s annual selection committee meeting on Feb. 3 in Minneapolis, the day before Super Bowl LII.

They have been doubted. And they have fed off of that doubt. Now, the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves facing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Early in the season, the New England Patriots’ five-year, $65-million contract for free-agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore hardly made Bill Belichick look like his football-genius self.

As far as the veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis is concerned, the Jaguars are in good hands with Blake Bortles behind center. He couldn’t be more impressed with how he has watched Bortles grow and develop into the passer and, especially, the professional he has become.

Say what you will about the absence of star power among most of the quarterbacks in Sunday’s conference championship games. For Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen, there aren’t enough good things he can say about his quarterback, Case Keenum.

It has become a source of humor, something that allows the Philadelphia Eagles to laugh at something that would seemingly have been feeling a bit less than jovial.

All of the controversy caused by ESPN’s bombshell story seemed like a distant memory after the New England Patriots took care of business with last Saturday night’s 35-14 divisional-round playoff pounding of the Tennessee Titans that caused them to advance to Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The doubters were many, and their voices provided ample fuel that helped drive the Jacksonville Jaguars to their divisional-round playoff victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. Yet, no one’s voices apparently did more to propel the Jaguars to their 45-42 triumph than those of the Steelers, some of whom made it clear they were looking past the Jaguars by talking about facing the New England Patriots.

New Orleans defensive end Cam Jordan believes the melding of the team’s younger defensive players with the rest of the unit has gone a long way toward helping the Saints advance to the divisional round of the playoffs.

New Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy had the chance to thoroughly study his quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, while Nagy was offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.

One of the bigger questions surrounding the Oakland Raiders giving Jon Gruden a second chance to guide their team is how his aggressive, in-your-face coaching style will work with the players. In particular, one player: Quarterback Derek Carr.

Rumors have been circulating lately that Bill Belichick might be interested in coaching for the New York Giants.

Dean Blandino has great empathy for the man who replaced him as the NFL’s vice president of officiating.

The Tennessee Titans needed a lot of things to go right to rally from an 18-point deficit in their wild-card playoff victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. Finding the necessary grit to get the job done was one of them.

Mark Dominik isn’t the least bit surprised to learn the Oakland Raiders have called a press conference Tuesday to introduce Jon Gruden as their new head coach.

Bill Polian isn’t a fan of widespread discussion the presumed top three quarterbacks in the 2018 NFL Draft are going to be “franchise” players. The Hall of Fame general manager thinks that the media has gotten carried away with talking up the respective potential of USC’s Sam Darnold, UCLA’s Sam Rosen and Wyoming’s Josh Allen.

It was a one-two punch to the gut that Arizona Cardinals center AQ Shipley figures he will feel awhile.

Ted Thompson’s exit as general manager of the Green Bay Packers has created an opportunity for someone to overhaul a team that, with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, still very much has a chance to be a contender.

The Arizona Cardinals might very well find themselves scrambling for a replacement for Bruce Arians, who announced his retirement from coaching Monday.

Unlike at least one other NFL coach who criticized the league’s decision to move games involving teams in the playoff race from 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. ET, Dan Quinn is thrilled the Atlanta Falcons’ game against the Carolina Panthers has been shifted to the later time.

Bud Dupree was expecting that fellow outside linebacker James Harrison would serve as a good example to him and Harrison’s other younger Pittsburgh Steelers teammates. That never happened.

Dean Blandino once sat on the hot seat that Al Riveron occupies as the NFL’s Vice President of officiating. He fully understands how much hotter it has become since Sunday, when Riveron reversed an on-field ruling of a touchdown catch by Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin in the Bills’ loss at New England.

It goes without saying but we’ll say it anyways: It was a great year to be a sports fan.

It could have easily gone the other way, which would have been something the Carolina Panthers would have lamented for a long time. Panthers cornerback Daryl Worley knew his team wasn’t giving the sort of inspired effort that they usually did in Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After six seasons of being a playoff spectator, New Orleans Saints linebacker Craig Robertson is finally getting a chance to see how the other half lives.

Kareem Hunt thinks every team facing the Kansas City Chiefs should expect to have its hands full. And as far as the rookie running back is concerned, that’s especially true of the Chiefs end up reaching the postseason.

The Minnesota Vikings have a chance to clinch the NFC North championship against the Green Bay Packers Saturday night. What they don’t have is a crack at one of the NFL’s all-time great quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers.

At 10-4, the Carolina Panthers have every reason to feel good about their chances of reaching the playoffs. For now, they hold the fifth seed, with the 10-4 New Orleans Saints holding a tie-breaker for the NFC South championship. If the Panthers were in the AFC, they’d pretty much be assured of a spot in the postseason.

When it comes to facing the New England Patriots Sunday, Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback has only one thing on his mind. An opportunity to enhance the Buffalo Bills’ chances of making the playoffs.

Another week, another controversial ending to a marquee matchup between two of NFL’s heavyweights.

Aaron Donald is in his fourth season with the Rams. Even while establishing himself as one of the top defensive linemen in the NFL, during two years in St. Louis and the Rams’ first in Los Angeles, he experienced plenty of lean times.

The level of excitement within the Green Bay Packers and among their entire fan base is through the roof.

Members of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense are especially proud of the fact that they’ve done some of their best work against some of the NFL’s best quarterbacks.

It was the last thing Lane Johnson, his teammates, coaches or anyone else with a rooting interest in the Philadelphia Eagles ever wanted to see. But Johnson is convinced they can rebound from Carson Wentz’s season-ending knee injury.

Had the game been played under even semi-normal conditions, it would have been considered pretty wild.

How are the Panthers going to win the NFC North and achieve their goal of reaching the postseason? The same way they approached their victory against the Vikings.

It starts in practice. That was the beginning point of what happened Thursday night, when Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones leapt high in the air to snag a pass from New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

Hall of Famer James Lofton thinks the Browns’ new GM should have a say in who coaches the team.

The way the season started, the Los Angeles Chargers had no business thinking they would be contending for the division championship. Yet, at 6-6, that’s exactly where they find themselves in the AFC West, tied at the top with the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders.

Will he won’t he? That’s the question that has been swirling lately about Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians.

Sammy Watkins knows he’s part of something special with the Los Angeles Rams.

When the Minnesota Vikings signed Case Keenum during the offseason, they were expecting him to be a solid backup quarterback. They ended up getting so much more.

Duane Brown saw the immediate difference after joining the Seattle Seahawks, the sense that he was a part of a team that had no doubt about its stature in the NFL.

Golden Tate is on pace for his third 1,000-yard receiving season in the past four years. That doesn’t mean the Detroit Lions’ wide receiver takes anything for granted.

As dominant as the Philadelphia Eagles have been in all phases, their players have to fight the urge to look too far ahead and get caught up in thoughts about being a Super Bowl team. So how do they remain focused on the present?

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t spend a whole lot of time savoring their back-and-forth, down-to-the-wire, 31-28 victory against the Green Bay Packers Sunday night.

To win seven games in a row, the Minnesota Vikings are doing more than playing well in all phases. They also have tremendous cohesion.

Members of the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense knew they were part of something good in 2016, when Jim Schwartz became the team’s defensive coordinator. They’re part of something even better this season.

The New Orleans Saints’ eight-game winning streak has seen the team excel in all phases.

Defensive end Brandon Graham is quick to recognize one factor that stands out above the rest in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 9-1 record: the play of second-year quarterback Carson Wentz.

Attitude matters, and that’s something Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph believes has served Case Keenum well as the team’s quarterback. Sunday, Keenum led the Vikings to one of their biggest victories of the season against his former team, the Los Angeles Rams.

Dan Quinn knows Russell Wilson better than most opposing coaches. Before becoming head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Quinn was defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks, so he saw plenty of the quarterback in practice.

Terron Armstead has been through the bad times, when the New Orleans Saints struggled through three consecutive 7-9 seasons from 2014 to 2016 after going 11-5 and reaching the Super Bowl in his rookie year.

With Sean McVay as coach, the Rams are playing in the 3-4 look of new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. And they’re excelling in it on the way to a 7-2 record.

A.J. Bouye loves the common thread in all of the talent the Jacksonville Jaguars have added to their defense this year.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford likes most of what he has seen through a 5-4 start, especially with the way the club elevated its game in the second half against the Browns.

To listen to safety Micah Hyde, the 5-3 Bills are right where they need to be entering Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

The Washington Redskins’ Week 9 win at Seattle put the team at 4-4. According to linebacker Zach Brown, it also sent a strong message to the rest of the NFL.

Safety Mike Adams says that he and other players who joined the Carolina Panthers during the offseason — such as Julius Peppers and Captain Munnerlyn — along with everyone else on the defense have benefitted greatly from the guidance of first-year coordinator Steve Wilks.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson doesn’t think Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green should have allowed his to reach the level it did after he was shoved to the ground by Jags cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

When the New Orleans Saints began the season 0-2, it was time for some soul searching.

Given the limited options to replace Deshaun Watson as the Houston Texans’ quarterback, Mark Dominik thinks it would make sense for the team to reach out to one who is sitting in a broadcast booth.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis makes no attempt to hide his joy over the fact the trade that was supposed to send AJ McCarron to the Browns didn’t get done.

Deion Sanders was beside himself in trying to sort out the Cleveland Browns’ unsuccessful attempt to make a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals for quarterback A.J. McCarron.

The Seattle Seahawks are on a roll. With four consecutive victories, they now have a 5-2 record and look as if they’re hitting their stride.

Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly was back from concussion protocol and feeling good Sunday.

After the Baltimore Ravens snapped a two-game losing streak with Thursday night’s 40-0 victory against Miami and improved their record to 4-4, the question has to be asked. Where exactly is this team headed?

The doubters have expressed their opinions. They expected very little from the Chicago Bears, especially when it became clear during last April’s NFL Draft they were committed with going with a rookie quarterback.

Defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., is an integral part of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ pass-rushing dominance.

To Lane Johnson, Jason Peters is so much more than a fellow tackle on the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line.

To win their third game in a row after going 0-4, the Los Angeles Chargers must have made some major adjustments, right?

How good can the Los Angeles Rams’ offense be? “I don’t even think we’re at our expectations yet,” wide receiver Robert Woods told Bruce Murray and James Lofton on the SiriusXM Blitz. “I think we’re still getting started, still getting going. We feel like we can be unstoppable.”

Carson Wentz has done more than his share to help pick up the slack with a season that has done plenty to validate his being the second overall pick of last year’s draft. The improvement he has made since his rookie year has gone a long way toward making the Eagles arguably the best team in the NFL.

Defensive end Cliff Avril has been placed on injured reserve with neck/spine problems resulting from Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett accidentally stepping on his chin during an Oct. 1 game, coach Pete Carroll told Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on Movin’ The Chains.

Adam Gase wasn’t scrambling to make adjustments when his Miami Dolphins players when they entered halftime trailing the Atlanta Falcons, 17-0, last Sunday.

Malcolm Butler has learned more than a few lessons in nearly three-and-a-half seasons as an NFL cornerback. One is that, whenever a ball-carrier is reaching for the pylon, do everything possible to try and punch the ball loose. Another is that there’s nothing that can change the results on the field, so accept them … especially when they go your way.

For an NFL defense, challenges don’t get much greater than facing Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen knows that all too well from many NFC North encounters with Rodgers through the years.

Eric Weddle sees plenty of reason to expect that he and the rest of the rest of the Baltimore Ravens’ defense will have their hands full when they face Chicago Bears rookie Mitchell Trubisky Sunday.

The Los Angeles Chargers faced a gut-check last Sunday against the New York Giants.

Geoff Schwartz should know a thing or two about Adrian Peterson. The former NFL offensive guard blocked for Peterson when they were teammates on the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. That was the year Peterson ran for a career-best 2,097 yards.

The Los Angeles Rams’ high-flying offense started fast, but it was the Seattle Seahawks’ opportunistic defense that did what was necessary to finish the job Sunday at L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

Wide receiver A.J. Green knows is that since Sept. 25, when the Bengals made Bill Lazor the new man putting together the offensive game plan and calling plays, Green and his teammates on offense have felt a greater sense of urgency.

They have different backgrounds. What they share, however, is the desire to help make the Buffalo Bills a winner. And that, says safety Micah Hyde, has become a strong bond on the way to the team’s 3-1 start.

As someone who played football at Harvard before entering the NFL in 2014, Cameron Brate had a fairly close view of the New England Patriots’ dynasty.

Ever wish you had the play-by-play schedules of your favorite teams sent right to your phone? Well, you’re in luck.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back. And as far as Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier is concerned, it isn’t only a one-week thing.

The Los Angeles Rams aren’t much for making statements with the outcome of games.

Rams running back Todd Gurley sees new coach Sean McVay as the major difference-maker in his and the rest of the team’s offensive improvement.

They have the talent. They have the coaching. They have the perfect record. But that isn’t all the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs have going for them, according to standout linebacker Derrick Johnson, whose 14 tackles are also a factor.

Ryan Kerrigan sees the steady progress. Week by week, the Washington Redskins’ defensive line shows the capacity to dominate.

The 3-0 Atlanta Falcons fully anticipate a tremendous challenge to remain unbeaten when they face the 2-1 Buffalo Bills at home Sunday.

Case Keenum wasn’t merely adequate in helping the Minnesota Vikings beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday.

As an undrafted rookie entering training camp with the Oakland Raiders last year, running back Jalen Richard didn’t know what to expecting, including whether he would be able to land a spot on the roster. This year, he has emerged as a dynamic presence in their offense.

Jarvis Landry had no doubts about what Jay Cutler would bring to the Miami Dolphins.
