News prior to camp opening...

[Phicinfan]

Rumblings that Calvin Johnson Wr formerly of Detroit is visiting folks, he says he is still retired, but if he comes back, it can be a cap issue for Detroit, as they have retained his rights.

Evidently Fowler of Jax likes to get tickets, he has up to 40 different tickets, and now some story of assaulting a police officer is out. Not a good start of season for NFL with this and Zeke.

Rookie John Conner is selling jersey's like candy. He is the hottest rookie selling this year. He is also being touted as Bell's replacement next year.

Speaking of Bell, Pittsburgh release some of the numbers, but evidently they only wanted to guarantee 2 years.

Geronimo Allison Wr GB gets a one game suspension for Marijuana possession

Jason Garrett just gave out a statement of support for Zeke, can you say big suspension coming......

 

[Phicinfan]

Per HC, Kessler goes into camp as starter at QB, but obviously that could change once Camp gets going or pre-season starts.
OT Duane Brown could hold out if team doesn't redo his deal
Vikings sign Everson Griffin DE to a 4 year extension
Wr Jordan Matthews - not practicing due to knee....or contract? Per sources some felt he could have been participating more, but he is in last year of rookie contract and he wants an extension. Stupid move as he isn't that good and they just signed two FA wrs.
Jags talking extension with Allen Robinson Wr
Cam throwing in camp, got healthy clearance and came in at 246 lbs, he played at 260 last year - hoping he will be more mobile this year.

Flacco has back injury - team reports its minor, and will just need rest, a few other sources say he cracked a disc and could miss significant time. Keep an eye on this one
Lucky Whitehead, innocent of crimes, fired due to crimes(way to go Dallas but keep Zeke......) has signed with the Jets, so his season went to crap
LB Jaylen Smith had his first padded practice - good to see him back on the field!
Los Angeles Chargers has traded with Buffalo for Cardale Jones....yes you saw that right, it was for conditional picks. Not sure who will back up Tyrod this year, they did draft Peterman later in the draft. Oh T.J. Yates.....yikes!
Dallas signs Rb Ronnie Hillman - no no worries on Zeke there.....
Devonte Booker Rb Den - supposedly pushing to start - has a wrist injury - up to 6-8 weeks missed time.....sigh...
Meanwhile Jamaal Charles is practicing for Denver - good to see him back!
Siemian is starting for Denver, but Lynch is still vying for starter
Bears confirm Mike Glennon will be starter this year.....

 

[Phicinfan]

Oh, and last but not least, and I know you all won't believe this, but TE Jordan Reed Was is hurt again, with a significant toe injury..........good grief.

 

[Phicinfan]

In more magic from Philly, Eagles announce they are cutting Alan Barbre OG, and instead trade him to Denver for a conditional pick - that is smooth there.....

Devonte Booker Rb Den - supposedly pushing to start - has a wrist injury - up to 6-8 weeks missed time.....sigh...
...

Is having surgery, expected to be out until start of season, but they think he will be back for week 1....

He's going to let Charles take the lead out there.

Love to see Megatron come back. Especially if it means more Optimus Prime commercials.

is he? last I heard he is still owned by Detroit, so not sure he would come back for that.

 

[mudloggerone]

Lions would be over the cap if he came back, same situation Lynch had the Hawks in.

Very true. He could push them. I just don't buy it..... have to wait and see.

Well camp is open so this news isn't prior to but I didn't want to clutter up the Camp News thread with it.

Cleveland PD has forwarded Raiders first-round CB Gareon Conley's sexual assault case to a grand jury.

The grand jury will decide whether to pursue official charges against Conley, who was accused of rape prior to the draft in April.

 

[mudloggerone]

Ed Gallek of FOX 8 in Cleveland reports a grand jury has decided not to indict Raiders first-round pick Gareon Conley on sexual assault allegations made against Conley prior to April's draft.

that is good news for Oakland, wonder if he will get signed now?

 

[mudloggerone]

He signed over the weekend I think.

 

[mudloggerone]

Seemingly comfortable with his legal situation, the Raiders signed Conley to a four-year deal on Friday.
