Colt McCoy News
Monday, August 19, 11:54 AM
Former NFL quarterback Colt McCoy has announced his retirement and will join NBC Sports for its Big Ten college football coverage. McCoy, a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist during his college career at Texas, set an NCAA Division I record with 45 career wins as a four-year starter from 2006 to 2009. He led the Longhorns to the BCS National Championship game in 2010, capping off a perfect 12-0 regular season with a Big 12 title. Drafted in the third round by the Cleveland Browns in 2010, McCoy amassed an 11-25 record over his 36 NFL starts. His final NFL stint was with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, where he played in two preseason games before being released due to elbow issues. Over his career, McCoy also played for the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland Browns, finishing with 7,975 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 56 games.

Geno Smith News
Tuesday, March 31, 8:10 AM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said new quarterback Geno Smith is "the guy that's going to lead us to the promised land," according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The Jets failed miserably with their free-agent acquisition of QB Justin Fields in 2025, and now they will turn to Smith, who led the NFL with 17 interceptions last year in his lone season with the Las Vegas Raiders. If Glenn is referring to the "promised land" as the No. 1 overall draft pick for 2027, we might believe him. Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and 2023 with the Seattle Seahawks, but he's regressed significantly over the last two years and will now lead a Jets offense that doesn't have many playmakers behind running back Breece Hall and receiver Garrett Wilson. The 35-year-old veteran won't have much upside as a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues. He completed 67% of his passes in 2025 for 3,025 yards and 19 touchdowns. After becoming a legitimate QB1 in Seattle, Smith is now looking more like the journeyman backup that he was earlier in his career.
