Coming at you
NE - Patriots owner admits he is frustrated in not winning a playoff game 3 years straight...
CLE - signs C Ethan Pocic
SF - Shanahan is now repeating what Lynch said, we will not release Jimmy G just to release him - trying to generate a trade market?
NO - Taysom Hill to focus on TE this year - bout time...
JAC - Doug Pederson on 1st pick of draft - "can't have enough OL men...."
LAR - still interested in Bobby Wagner
Unless they need to free up cap space immediately, no reason for SF to not play this out until the draft to see if a trade can be made. Plus, they can still restructure Jimmie Ward if they need some additional cap space.

If they decide they want to go in on someone like Gilmore, then that might change. Kind of odd Gilmore hasn’t signed yet. Word is his market isn’t what he expected, but maybe he is waiting for after the draft to sign a deal.

Just to clarify, this is the option raised by Eagles and Colts, this means even if first team scores a TD or FG, the other team will get at least one try to also score. If 2nd team scores more they win, if they tie, it goes to sudden death and the next team to make any score wins.

Again, this change goes into effect for 2022 and ONLY in the playoffs

LAR - working on extensions for Aaron Donald, Les Snead and Sean McVay
CLE/Watson - per NFL the Commissioner Exemption list is not in play, but suspension is possible. Also some of the testimony from the depositions for the civil trials have been leaked, and of course since it is mostly negative for Watson it is believed it is leaked by Buzbee. Nothing too bad out yet per sources.
WAS - per Goodell Daniel Snyder is still not involved in any day to day decisions for the team, and will remain so until Goodell changes that.
NFL - per Goodell concussions were reduced in 2021 even with the extra game added
BAL - per GM and others, the NFL is going to be hampered in future negotiations with Qbs due to the mostly guaranteed deal Cleveland signed Watson to. It is currently effecting the negotiations with Lamar Jackson and Baltimore.
