NFL News, Rumors, In/Out - Post draft

[efactor]

I want to see the numbers on the deal. I don't think this is really a 4 year deal, my gut says 2 years and they can get out from under it.

170 million guaranteed so sounds like at least 3 years.

ESPN officially has signed former Eagles standout Jason Kelce to a multi-year deal. Kelce will join Monday Night Countdown, leading into Monday Night Football, then appear again at halftime.

He replaces the virtue signaling RG3

NEWS: Packers rookie OL Trente Jones has retired from football after signing with them a couple of weeks ago.

Jones says he hurt his back and thought this was the best decision.

Jones will now be a TikTok influencer, where he has over 350k followers.

Thoughts: What a fn loser. Give up the NFL for Tik Tok. God I hope it gets banned

So I guess my Christmas wish of the Kelce brothers going away won’t be granted.
