Now that the draft has ended, time to move to a new thread:

It is official - TE Jason Witten has retired - and will move to ESPN to be Monday night football analyst.

No one wants Dez Bryant - even at a 1 year deal - it has been reported by multiple teams that there is little movement here. He did receive a 3 year deal from Baltimore he turned down, and they have since moved on to Snead and drafted a Wr.

Suddenly, Big Ben wants to play 3-5 more years...funny how that news has changed since they drafted a Qb in the 3rd round. Might have been a bit late with that info Ben.

Brady has finally come out and confirmed that he will play this year- like he ever wasn't... , also looking to play for about 2 or so more years. Gronk also will be back.

Lots of players getting their 5th year option picked up. A few that are not - Ray LB for Denver, White Wr for Chicago.

Wheaton is garbage.

Not surprised about White. Very low odds that he turns it around and would be worth the 5th year

Some early draft signings already by many teams, that is always good to see.

Also in a really no big surprise - N.O. has cut Coby Fleener Te.

And...in the bone head move of the year, Stories are out he will not participate in any work outs this off-season til he gets a new contract. He still has 2 years left, AND now suspended. I would not be shocked to see him booted from N.O.

So, in the catagory of things that make you go hmmmm......

Eli Manning settled all his cases of Fraud stemming from the 2014 civil lawsuits filed for selling of "game material" that might not have been game material. Now, the key here is the settlement is locked as confidential, so those who filed can't say what the real deal is. Curious to see if the NFL reacts to this at all, as in other cases setting has been seen as agreeing to guilt.

Meh, I think most of the time these type of lawsuits include confidentiality clauses. I don't see an issues, and don't think the NFL would have any recourse due to it.
