Regarding Jones, GB's running game is a mess. Maybe Montgomery is still the best play. Definitely Rodgers and the WRs \ Graham will carry the mail.

NFL is working diligently on getting more information from Georgia law authorities as well as the lawyers in the McCoy case. McCoy now has gotten the same lawyer that Ray Lewis used in his murder trial.

on a side note S Brandon Bryant (mississippi state) is expected to sign with the Jets very soon - he went undrafted in supplemental draft

Years since anyone was taken in the supplemental draft and then 2 this year. Are these guys that special or are the teams that needy? Hmmm.

I think in the case of Giants, they want better work in secondary, and this is basically great value at a 3rd round pick.

Washington the same, cheap help is just that, and the corners were not that deep in this years draft

So the deadline to sign any FT player has come and gone, and none are signed.

per his Agent, this could be Le'Veon Bell's last year in Pittsburgh - he has been tagged twice now.
Detroit has already said they won't extend Ansah.

And....as expected, Bell will miss all of training camp and be back sometime around week 1 of regular season......

Brandin Cooks has spent time with three teams over the last two years, but he won’t be moving on to a fourth anytime soon.

The Rams announced Tuesday that they and Cooks have agreed to a five-year contract extension. The Rams acquired Cooks and a fourth-round pick in exchange for first- and sixth-round picks in a trade with the Patriots this offseason.

No financial terms of the deal have been announced.

So....
Cardinals GM Steve Keim has pled guilty to aggravated DUI and has been suspended by the team for 5 weeks with no pay, and fined $200,000 - NFL action is still pending.
Randy Gregory DL of Dallas has been reinstated
Terrell Owens is pushing hard to get back into the league, and has filed paperwork to get some action in the CFL as well. Man wants to play.
Reports on what Pittsburgh offered L. Bell are out, and it really looks like Pittsburgh didn't want him all that bad. The Team leaked they offered him 5 years at $70 million with $34 guaranteed. More has leaked since that the only guaranteed $$$ were $10 million. No wonder the Agent has said he won't play for Pittsburgh next year.

 

[mudloggerone]

They'll be running his wheels off this season then just as the Saints will do with Ingram. In Bell's case they've been doing that for years.

Kamara owners should be happy. No threat to carries while Ingram is out............
