So the Jacksonville Jaguars have just announced that they will be playing two games in London back-to-back in 2020. The opponents have not been named as of yet But they did announce the games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears will be in Jacksonville.

That only leaves, Tennessee, Houston, Indy, Cleveland, and Detroit as the possible teams to travel to London.


There are now rumors that the Jaguars will be discounting home game tickets because they will only play six games in Jacksonville.

 

[MongerKhan]

The Jaguars have also hired former 49ers general manager Trent Baalke as Director of Player Personnel.

 

[Phicinfan]

LVR - have hired Rod Marinelli as DL coach - Go Raiders!
PHI - will not hire OC - HC will call plays and they have set up run coordinators and passing coordinators like SF does
CLE - Haslam is NOT happy with Kareem Hunt and his behavior, he is still a Brown for now...
Jay Cutler is getting offers for some networks to do games

 

[Phicinfan]

PIT - GM Kevin Colbert signs a one year extension to stay with Steelers
LVR - resign Rb Jalen Richard

 

[Phicinfan]

LVR - has passed the date where $2.9 million of Carr's salary is now guaranteed. The other $16 million however is not. Per reports they may play for Brady in FA
CIN - differing reports coming out if Joe Burrow wants to play for Bengals or not. He and his Dad have stated they are pleased to be considered #1, knowing full well where that leads...., but now he has signed Carson Palmer's brother Jordan to train him for the combine, and Carson has come out publicly ripping the Bengals for not wanting to compete for superbowls. I will say it again, if the Bengals are really getting offers from Miami for multiple 1st round picks, I would do it in a heart beat.
SF - Te George Kittle will not need any off-season surgery for ankle, knee or shoulder - but will be looking at a huge salary coming soon
JAC - fans are starting a rucus about losing two home games to London - knew this was coming....
NFLPA - is meeting today to talk about 17 game regular season schedule
PIT - Art Rooney II - is stating the team is fine at Qb with Roethlisburger, Rudolph, Hodges and Paxton Lynch - but may target Wr and Rb in FA
CLE - Browns hoping for reinstatement for DE Myles Garrett
SF - Jerick McKinnon is willing to do what he can to remain with the 49ers. If he could stay healthy, he would help with Breida and Wilson going FA this year.

 

[MongerKhan]

Rams safety Eric Weddle has called it a career.

 

[Phicinfan]

BAL - sign back up OT Andre Smith for a one year deal
SF - in a interview with Shannahan say they are locked and loaded with Garoppolo for next year - so they won't be shopping for Brady... However, per another report, Shannahan has confirmed he didn't scout out Mahomes since they were locked into signing FA Kirk Cousins instead - and then pivoted to trade for Garoppolo. Wonder what happens in 2021 when Kirk is a FA?
TEN - Mike Vrable confirmed he will be HC and DC on the team this year

 

[Phicinfan]

DEN - per new OC, no decision has been made on Flacco as of yet, still needing confirmation his neck is good, as well as his cap hit is hard. He is making $20+ million with $13.6 million of that dead money if cut
LAR - more talk that Team will insist Gurley take a pay cut or they will walk away. He is due for a big hit March 20th as a bonus becomes guaranteed.
DAL - Stephen Jones is getting texts from Dez Bryant that he wants to come back to Dallas - uh...yeah.

 

[Phicinfan]

DAL - stories coming out that Dak rejected deal that would have paid him $33 million a season

Hello Tom Brady.

 

[Phicinfan]

LAC - now confirmed by both team and Rivers that he won't be back with the team and is looking to go elsewhere as a FA
CIN- more and more the feeling is Burrows does NOT want to go to Cincinnati, he evidently is listening heavily to Carson Palmer, his brother and T.J. Houshmandzadeh on how cheap Cincy can be.
XFL side note - it was reported that Colin Kaeperick's price was way too high to play in the XFL - and he sucks....
N.O. - Sean Payton expects someone to make an RFA offer sheet on Taysom Hill
DET - Darius Slay wants to be highest paid Cb in league

 

[MongerKhan]

LAC - now confirmed by both team and Rivers that he won't be back with the team and is looking to go elsewhere as a FA

 

[Remote Controller]

Lol!

 

[Phicinfan]

PIT - still looking for Wr coach, is talking to former player Jericho Cotchery - who played for them a few years and has been on coaching staff of CAR.
SF - are lamenting on their cap situation, they are very tight and have Armstead, Sanders and Ward set to be FAs
A. Brown - his lawyer that was handling his civil case for Rape and sexual battery has filed a motion to withdraw. Still not going well for Brown
DAL - rumors are flying Brady to Dallas - I think this is NO WAY as they need to keep Dak, but if they tag him he is gonna sit for off season...with new offense to learn
P. Rivers - has stated he still wants to play but only wants a two year deal max....
WAS - Quinton Dunbar Cb has requested a trade or release
Taysom Hill - says he can and should be a franchise Qb, Saints HC has said so as well, but as RFA will anyone bite and make an offer? Okay I may be daft here, but does anyone else think he could be a Cam clone? Car would probably be a very, very good fit, with their tools
Tua - had another scan of his hip and it was a positive look
CLE - Myles Garrett met with commisioner yesterday morning. No word on reinstatement
LA - in a fluke kind of thing - the new LA stadium the Chargers and Rams are playing at will hold a Wrestlemania before an NFL game.....

 

[Phicinfan]

LAC - with an interview with LAC GM, he stated he is okay with current internal options for starting QB - Tyrod Taylor and Easton Stick(R) - however, he then later stated they may look at FA or draft as well. Ya think?
CAR - Owner David Tepper on teams plan on Cam - "tell me he is healthy and we can talk" - Yup.
NFL - looking to put flexing option for Monday night games for this year - that would be really good
JAC - owner Shad Khan says "having two competent Qbs is an embarrassment of riches"- Looks like they plan to stand pat on both Minshew and Foles
TEN - Tannehill has changed agents - he has moved to CAA - who also handles Henry and the GM in Tenn.
BUF - DT Star Lotulelei has agreed to restructure his contract to give them some more cap relief.
