ARI - HC slot seems to have come down to 3 people - former Dolphins HC Brian Flores, NYG OC Mike Kafka and Bengals DC Lou Anarumo
CLE - Myles Garrett suffered a dislocated toe at the Pro Bowl games over the weekend
CAR- Panthers hire former Denver DC Ejiro Evero as their new DC
SF - OT Trent Williams guaranteed he will play next year
DAL - name Brian Schottenheimer as new OC
SEA - per QB Geno Smith, he and team have started new contract talks, and he feels it will get done
PHI - Eagles have reached a contract extension with OL/Running game Coordinator Jeff Stoutland
LVR - Raiders have announced former Commanders OC Scott Turner has been hired as passing game coordinator
DEN - Sean Payton officially named HC of Denver - 5 year deal roughly just shy of $20 million a year
NFL - reports concussions were up 18% this year
MIA - Dolphins have released OL coach Matt Applebaum
BAL - reports out that the team and QB are not close on an extension - specifically on guaranteed money. They can FT him though
LVR - the QB situation is a joke now. So for those who don't know, and that is probably not many.... Raiders benched Carr last year, and have made it clear they want to move on from him. He has a contract guarantee for money this year for roster bonus Feb. 14th. So they really have to deal him or the contract hit is too high. Or they can buy out rest of deal for much, much, much lower amount and just cut him. Issue is Carr has a no trade clause, so he can just say no to any trade and force the cut, which would make him a FA and allow him to pick his own team. Just so poorly handled by Raiders. Supposedly team has told Carr's agent they can ONLY talk to teams that have agreed to compensation for trade with Raiders, which is no one as most feel they will be forced to cut.

The 18% increase in concussions is due to the handling of the first Tua concussion. The violent looking hits seem way down to me.

I couldn't believe Kelse didn't get popped on his TD last week.

What a total joke. It's looking like Rodgers is going to Vegas???
