Rob Gronkowski Reveals Which Team He Almost Signed With

by

Rob Gronkowski is easily one of the best tight ends to ever play in the NFL. He broke numerous records during his time in the league. Additionally, he won four Super Bowls with the likes of Tom Brady. Overall, he could very well go down at the GOAT at his position.

Recently, Gronk has been teasing fans with a return to the field. He is constantly talking about what it would take to get him to come back. Furthermore, he has been talking about the likes of Josh Allen and how he would be down to play with him someday.

Rob Gronkowski Makes A Revelation

As it turns out, he wasn’t so far off from playing with Allen. While speaking to Travis and Jason Kelce, Gronk revealed that the Bills called him up last summer. In fact, he was thinking of making it happen. However, he ultimately decided against it as he wanted a bit more money. Not to mention, he didn’t have that drive to play football.

“I was like, ‘Ahh. Tom [Brady] retired, I’ma check out some other teams,” Gronkowski explained. “I was actually in talks with the Buffalo Bills a little bit. They wanted me to come up there.”

If Gronk does want to make a comeback, there are plenty of teams out there who will take him. However, it does seem like his best option is the Bills. They have the quarterback and they have the ability to get him that fifth Super Bowl. Although, the team just needs to back up the Brinks truck.

Let us know where you think Gronk should go, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world. We’re sure Gronk will continue to give us plenty to talk about.

Ravens’ Rumored Plan For Lamar Jackson Revealed

by

Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Unfortunately, however, he has had to deal with some serious injury issues. Ultimately, a knee injury kept him out of the team’s Wild Card game on Sunday. Consequently, the team lost by just a touchdown. Had Jackson been there, it could have been a different story.

Of course, Jackson is currently dealing with a contract dispute. The Ravens superstar wanted more guaranteed money than the Ravens were willing to spend. Now, heading into the offseason, the Ravens have a dilemma on their hands. Effectively, they need to make some big decisions in regard to Jackson.

Lamar Jackson Franchise Tag

Subsequently, there is a ton of reporting being done in regard to Jackson. For instance, Ian Rapoport was on Good Morning Football this morning where he spoke about the Ravens’ plans. Overall, the Ravens want to keep Jackson and will offer him a long-term deal.

However, if Jackson doesn’t like the guaranteed money aspect, there is a good chance that he will decline. From there, the Ravens will just hit him with the franchise tag, as they would rather not lose him.

In a report from Peter King, however, it was noted that the Ravens could use a different kind of franchise tag. This tag would allow other teams to offer Jackson a deal. From there, the Ravens can either match it, or let him walk for some draft compensation.

Per Peter King:

“I think it’s going to be hard for Jackson to get a long-term contract without significant protection for the team. Which means, to me, a significant likelihood that the Ravens may use the non-exclusive franchise tag for Jackson. If he agrees to a contract with another team, the Ravens could match it or be awarded two first-round picks (or a different deal the two teams could negotiate) if the Ravens do not match it.“

Based on these reports, it is clear that the Ravens know they need Jackson. Whether or not they will throw the proper money at him, remains to be seen.

Sean McVay Reveals His Coaching Future

by

Sean McVay is easily one of the best coaches in the NFL. He became a head coach at a pretty young age, and he immediately made an impact with the Rams. In fact, within just a few years, he had the team in the Super Bowl. However, they ultimately closed to the Tom Brady Patriots in a stinker of a game.

Subsequently, McVay went back to work and won the Super Bowl with the Rams last season. Unfortunately, the team has been horrible this past year and has missed the playoffs. Amidst all of this, McVay has been teasing a retirement from coaching in the NFL.

Sean McVay Finally Decides

These past few weeks have led to a whole bunch of speculation about McVay. Some believe he is on his way out, while others believe he will be back. Overall, there have been some polarizing opinions about this saga, especially since McVay signed an extension.

Well, today, McVay finally clued people into what he plans on doing. According to the Rams social media account, McVay has decided to remain with the team next season. This is obviously great news, especially since many players will be coming back healthy next year.

Unfortunately for McVay and the Rams, the league has started to catch up to them. There are some amazing teams in the NFC right now, and their path will become exponentially harder next season. However, McVay is seen as a coaching genius, and we’re sure he will figure things out.

Let us know what you think of McVay’s decision, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

“As a son and a parent I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, specifically Myles Garrett and his family,” Clowney said. “My words in the lockerroom were not only taken out of context, but completely misrepresented.”

Stephen A. has had some interesting sports hot takes this year. Of course, you can say that about any given year. However, there is no doubt that the NFL has given him plenty of talking points. This is especially true as it pertains to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If you have been watching the Bucs this year, you know that TB12 has not been at his best. Overall, the Bucs finished with an 8-9 record. However, they still made it to the playoffs. Now, they have a tough road ahead of them, and Stephen A. is well aware of this.

Stephen A. Gives His Hot Take

Today on First Take, Smith was asked whether or not he believes Tom Brady will ever go to the Super Bowl again. Brady is currently in his 23rd season and is 45 years old. If he doesn’t make it now, then it is likely he will not make it again. As it turns out, Smith is an agreement with this assessment.

Below, Stephen A. spoke about how Brady will likely retire at the end of the season. Simply put, Smith thinks Brady is done with football. The ESPN personality noted Brady’s off-the-field issues while also stating how the Bucs were in a transition period. Needless to say, he isn’t convinced Brady has another deep playoff run in him.

On Monday night, Brady and the Bucs will take on the Dallas Cowboys. Considering the Cowboys’ track record, one could assume that Brady will win this game. However, it is going to be a very tall order.’

Rob Gronkowski Reveals Which Quarterback He Wants To Play With

by

Rob Gronkowski is retired from professional football. However, he has oftentimes teased a potential return. His cryptic tweets and constant comments on the game have fans intrigued. However, Gronk has noted that if he does come back, he will need a record-breaking salary. At this age, it’s safe to assume that won’t happen.

However, Gronk is still beloved by football fans. He is arguably the greatest tight end ever, and he finished his career with four Super Bowls. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this kind of production.

Rob Gronkowski Speaks

Recently, Gronkowski spoke with Kay Adams on her show Up And Adams. During the appearance, Gronk was asked which quarterback he would love to play with. Of course, Adams made sure to note that he can’t say Tom Brady. Subsequently, Gronk explained just how much he loves Josh Allen.

“In a dream world, I’ll go with my hometown team, the Buffalo Bills, once again,” Gronkowski said. “If you just watch Josh Allen go out there and play, he plays the game freely. It also looks like he’s having the most fun out there out of any QB in the whole NFL. And on top of it, he knows how to extend a play. I love watching a quarterback that looks like they’re about to get sacked by three defensive linemen then somehow escapes the pocket and runs around, jukes a linebacker behind the field and then just whips the ball down the field 50 yards for a touchdown. Just his play is unbelievable and electrifying.”

Overall, the Buffalo Bills are a phenomenal team. They have a real chance of going to the Super Bowl this year, and as a Buffalo native, we’re sure Gronk would love that. It will be a tough road, however, they have the talent to get it done.

Let us know where you think Gronk could potentially play, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Odell Beckham Jr. Reacts To Plane Incident Footage

by

Back in November, Odell Beckham Jr. was removed from a flight after he fell asleep prior to takeoff. According to reports, he was refusing to put on his seatbelt. Subsequently, this led to police intervention where Odell was told to get off the plane.

In fact, everyone on board had to deplane. Overall, it was an embarrassing situation that led to quite a bit of criticism online. Now, the footage of the incident has since leaked online thanks to TMZ. As you can see below, OBJ was quite upset and even insulted a passenger.

Odell Speaks

In the aftermath of this footage hitting the internet, Odell has decided to speak out. In a series of tweets, Beckham Jr. said that the whole incident was extremely unnecessary. Additionally, he noted that when it comes to his character, he is never going to let people paint him in a bad light. Needless to say, he is upset about what has gotten out.

“Can’t address everything in this world, it’s exhausting. Errbody got an opinion on situations they weren’t involved in. All u can do is kno who u truly are. Purell only kills 99.9% of germs…there’s always gon be a lil left over,” OBJ wrote. “Krazy thing is since the SB. I been minding my own biz, staying out the way. Name ain’t been in nothin , and even during this free agency frenzy it was never me who caused any of that I beeen QUIET chilllin. “They” wrote the stories. Been enjoyin fatherhood and time wit the fam.”

Overall, this won’t exactly change how NFL teams feel about him. However, this has created a bit of an interesting dynamic between him and his fans. Some believe he did nothing wrong, while others believe he was incredibly inconsiderate. Consequently, Odell remains a polarizing figure.

Skip Bayless Calls Jerry Jones “Delusional”

by

Skip Bayless sure does love his Dallas Cowboys. Every single season, he tries to make up reasons for why they are actually going to be successful. Unfortunately, they have proven time and time again that they just don’t have the clutch gene that Bayless harps on so much.

Overall, it has been a rough two decades for Cowboys fans. They haven’t matched their success from the 90s, and it could be a while before they ever get back to a Super Bowl. Of course, they could do it this season, although it would take a Herculean effort.

Skip Bayless Vs. Jerry Jones

Recently, Jerry Jones claimed that Dak has superior DNA that makes it so he can’t turn the ball over. Of course, Bayless knows this is quite the opposite, and he said so on Undisputed. More jarringly, Bayless straight up claimed that Jerry Jones was delusional. These are some harsh words, however, we’re sure some Cowboys fans out there feel the same way.

“Jerry has delusionally convinced himself because he paid the man so much money that Dak is THAT guy,” Skip said. “I’m still waiting to see THAT guy emerge. But the harder I look, the worse it gets.”

The Cowboys are going to play the Buccaneers on Monday night. It is going to be a tough test, even though the Cowboys finished with four more wins. Brady is the GOAT and he knows how to win in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Cowboys under Dak Prescott have yet to prove such a thing.

Hopefully, for Skip and that fanbase, they can finally get it done. Let us know who you think will win, in the comments section down below.

Derek Carr Speaks

Today, Carr took to social media with a long message for all of the Raiders fans out there. As you can see, this message came from the heart as Carr truly gave a lot to the city. Even if you thought he was a mediocre player, you can’t help but realize how hard he worked.

“Raider Nation it breaks my heart I didn’t get an opportunity to say goodbye in person,” Carr said. “We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful and appreciative of the years of support you have to my family and me. We had our share of both heart breaking moments and thrilling game winning drives, and it always felt like you were there next to me.”

Carr continued by noting just how hard he worked during his time with the franchise.

“It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season,” Carr explained. “It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope that I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raider fans.”

by

Stephen A. Smith is easily one of the most recognizable faces on sports talk television. He always comes through with the hot takes, and he does so in an entertaining fashion. Overall, he is largely responsible for carrying ESPN’s programming over these last few years.

There have been plenty of hot topics in the sports world as of late. This is especially true now that the NFL playoffs are on the horizon.

Stephen A. Speaks

Stephen A. has always had some very strong opinions about Lamar Jackson. Simply put, he loves the Ravens quarterback. However, he believes the Ravens should just straight-up trade him. With their contract dispute in mind, Smith believes it would just be simpler for the Ravens to get rid of their QB.

“Let me be clear. Lamar Jackson is an electrifying talent that I want on my team any day of the week,” Smith began. “If you’re the Baltimore Ravens, clearly there is difficulty in getting him inked to a long-term deal. […] I would strongly look into what assets I could get for Lamar Jackson. Because I could get the house for this brother.”

A Lamar Jackson trade would be wild for numerous reasons. There is no doubt that the haul the Ravens would receive would be incredible. Although, it still remains to be seen what will happen here.

Let us know whether or not you agree with Stephen A. in the comments section down below. Additionally, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
