It's starting to get rumor-y . . .
Jeremy Fowler is reporting that Teddy Bridgewater is getting a lot of interest from teams and could get a multi-year deal at $30 million per year.
Better somebody else's than my team.

Teddy Bridgewater will definitely get paid but $30 million I find a hard time believing. The Taysom Hill "hype" is getting hilarious to me though. People are acting like they can make him the next Lamar Jackson when he's thrown like 8 career passes and is nearly 30.
In regards to my own team, each day that goes by and the Packers haven't cut Jimmy Graham scares me that they're going to bring him back.

Simmons was referencing his conversation with Dave Grohl about why the Foo Fighters won't break up. As far as Brady goes, I have no idea what to think. I spent the entire season expecting it to be his last here, now I'm leaning toward him coming back. Every time I become convinced it makes more sense for him to stay/leave, I start thinking about reasons why the opposite makes more sense for both sides.

The Taysom Hill chatter is strong enough that I think the Saints are going to slap a 1st round tender on him.

Eagles about to release LB Nigel Bradham
Was begging for this last year during the draft - load up on the secondary - better do it this year
All CBs, Safeties and LBs - any draftee that is not one of these positions - go O-Line - can never have too many O-Lineman - that's where you build your team first IMO - it all starts up front.
Fix the WRs during free agency and well as some rotating DE's.

Falcons aren’t bringing back Vic Beasley, making it even more likely they will focus on drafting pass rushers in the draft. The Falcons have struggled with getting pressure on the QB the last couple of seasons and Beasley had been disappointing after his excellent 2016 season.

Greg Olsen chose a one-year deal with the Seahawks. The good thing about getting released is you get a jump start on the free agency rush.

It's being reported that the Collective Bargaining Agreement will have an increase of 7 teams in the playoffs per league. If that would have happened, the Steelers would have gone to the Chiefs and the Rams to the Packers for Wild Card Weekend (with only the Ravens and Niners getting byes).

The NFL playoffs are GREAT as they are, why the need to fuck it up with more teams? And why the push for an 18 game schedule? Things work great as they are for the NFL, adding more teams to the playoffs is beyond stupid.

I'm not sure where the 17th game would be pulled from. Nothing would be fair or make sense. Outside of just having that last game be picked lottery style, I'm not sure how they'll try to rationalize what it would be. At some point, let the product sell itself - - the networks are still going to buy.

Things work great as they are for the NFL, adding more teams to the playoffs is beyond stupid. I'm in total agreement when it comes to the schedule. 16 games is enough, the players don't want more and if safety is something you actually care about, then the players should be listened to in this case. However, I have no problem with adding one more playoff team. You get 3 games on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, then back to 2 apiece the next week. Seems pretty cool to me. I wouldn't want any more playoff teams added after that, though. |

It's not that big of a jump from 12 to 14, it's not like we're going from 8 to 14. Plus, like I said, what's wrong with a 3rd game for each night that first week? I would stop at 14 teams for sure. |

NFL does not need more playoff teams, NCAAF sure as hell doesn't either.

If they insist on expanding the regular season, then take half the preseason. The playoffs are fine as is.

Stefon Diggs apparently back on the market.
Curious as to what type of Draft Compensation the Vikings would get back for him.
I'd give up a 3rd Rounder - tops even though they'll be looking for me undoubtedly. Otherwise fill the hole in Free Agency since we can't draft WRs for sh*t.
Need secondary help first and foremost.
