Still has bone spurs in his ankle and will require more surgery. He has already had 2 surgeries on that ankle, but the spurs keep coming back. That is why he may retire.

CLE - Browns and Baker Mayfield have had no real talks about extension - may go into this season
PIT - It's a business right? Steelers got $6 million + in cap savings by releasing hurt DeCastro and signing FA Trai Turner - some question the NFI designation for DeCastro's release, as he said he had the issue all last year...
NYJ - sign FA ROT Morgan Moses - looks like Jets trying to fix O-line this year - good for them and rookie Qb
NFL - 65% of all players are vaccinated for Covid
TB - Bucanneers state it is not a matter of if but when for Creamsicle uniforms to return
CLE - Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb think they both can reach over 1000 yards this year - that would be fun for them, but watch out for OBJ ;)

That's great news. Sucks for an 8 year old to have heart issues

On another positive note, Pete Carroll says he expects a great season out of Greg Olsen once his son is healthy and he can focus entirely on football

Great. The guy I was screaming for my Niners to take instead of Rueben Foster 🤬

I seriously should have been GM in 2017. Niners would have had Watson, Ramczyk and Kamara in the first 3 rounds.

The bears are cap-strapped but have been stupid with regards to AR. He is reportedly excited about Justin Fields and has been a very good citizen and they are already on the hook to pay him the FT money. I think the issue is that the Bears have cap problems for the next 2-3 years with all the money they have spent on defence and they keep kicking the can down the road moving the problems into future years. Do you invest in a WR at his age on a 4 year, 75M deal at this point? That is the question

More information from the WFT settlements - Daniel Snyder can only return to full CEO status with approval from Goodell. His wife per the document for now is in control indefinitely. Also, minority owner Dwight Schar is permanently banned from any form of NFL ownership as well. per one report this was a voluntary move by Daniel Snyder

also the fine will be increased by $5-$7 million as Snyder must pay the fees to cover the firm hired to do the investigation.
