Its official - Brian Flores is Vikings new DC
Saints hire Zach Strief as their new OL coach
SF - Per reports Brock Purdy is trying to avoid Tommy John surgery on his UCL, instead going with some kind of bracing surgery that will keep him out 6 months. Decision still has not been made, but if he did get Tommy John, he would miss the whole year probably.

PIT - Steelers want Mitchell Trubisky back next year, but not at his current salary which is a $10+ cap hit. For him to stay they need to rework the deal and have him take a pay cut. Also Mason Rudolph is an FA and has basically said he won't re-sign with Steelers after being demoted to #3.

What I was trying to figure out is how do you come out of the darkness retreat into the light. Seems like a tough adjustment for your eyes after four days in darkness.

In any case my prediction is he emerges from his four day retreat with the enlightenment he is going to play and collect his 50 mil from someone. Perhaps the Packers or maybe the Jets.

Is Schottenhemier the new player caller or is it McCarthy? If it's McCarthy than what is Schottenhemier going to do, I thought the point of the OC was to call plays.

It’s believed the Saints and Raiders have a rough agreement on a trade for Derek Carr, but no idea if Carr will waive the no trade clause

Derek Carr has informed Saints that he will accept NO trade to any team. He is going to stick it to the Raiders and make them cut him. Good for him, he will be FA and have full control of his own future. On Feb. 15th the raiders will have to pay Carr $40.4 million, so expect his release before then.
