NFL News, Rumors, In/Out - 2 weeks prior to NFL draft

[Phicinfan]

KC - Rashee Rice has been charged with 8 felony charges for his accident and fleeing the scene - although he has not yet been charged with fleeing.
NFL - has changed the uniform rules to allow teams to use up to 3 different helmets now - before they could only use 2
GB - sign CB Gemon Green
BAL - signs WR Deonte Hardy to a one year deal
PHI - reports out team and WR Devonta Smith are close to an extension
NFL draft rumors:
QB draft order expected right now - Williams, Daniels then Drake Maye - although there are a ton of rumors Maye is dropping
Expectation is for someone to get to the #4 QB they will have to trade to #4 or #5 to get in before Giants
Giants are playing a game - first they said they need a QB, now they are saying they are focused on best player available - sorry guys genie has left the bottle
I believe betting odds are Vikings will move up to #4 or #5 to get QB McCarthy - using both 1st's this year and maybe on next as well

TB - good work being done to get new contracts for Antione Winfield and Tristen Wirfs
NFL - has received word that 13 rookies will be there for first day of draft - QBs: Daniels, Williams and Maye - McCarthy was invited but he never responded so his invitation was revoked. Pennix and Bo Nix NOT invited. Joe Alt and Brock Bowers also declined to attend.
Betting odds have Raiders taking Pennix Jr at 13 - I don't believe it, I don't think he is 1st rd material

SMU - has suspended CB Teddy Knox due to his participation in the Rashee Rice event(some suspect he may have been driving the other car)

I could see SF giving him a call if Purdy suffered a season ending injury. That's about it.

Jets if Aaron goes down again?

Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons has lobbied to be the team's punt returner and special teams coordinator John Fassel thinks he would be up to the task. However, the decision would not be Fassel's to make and it is unlikely that the club would risk having such an important player sustain an injury on special teams.

Jets if Aaron goes down again?

I could see that too.

I think he would love the SF scenario, winning a super bowl with his hometown team. Purdy better watch his back. A random attack and a broken right arm in his future.

Ceedee Lamb and Justin Jefferson skipping early camp activities- both looking for new deal

[Phicinfan]

DEN - Courtland Sutton underwent off season ankle surgery
DET - OT Taylor Decker had foot and ankle surgery this off season
DET - also reports that there is ongoing discussions on an extension for Jared Goff

 

[Phicinfan]

DAL - signed Royce Freeman RB to a one year deal - all in ... yup...
SF - signs FA WR Trent Taylor

 

[Walter34]

Dallas all in - lol

I hadn't followed them much in the off season but see that they are in a bad cap situation with so many poorly constructed contracts. Dad is a 55M cap hit this year and their other star players are contract problems as well - Lamb and Parsons looking for huge deals, aging offensive line, barely enough money to sign their rookies this year.

I see Dallas heading for down times and a possible reboot. Some murmurs they may want a rookie QB. Dak is good enough, but not at the price tag he has now.

2024 NFL draft prospect AJ Simon has tragically passed away, reportedly due to heart attack.

AJ was a pass rusher at University at Albany and had dreams of being drafted this year. He was just 25-years-old
