And there is every reason to continue the Draft-a-Thon, which raised more than $100 million in support of coronavirus relief efforts,
Pretty awesome.

@AdamSchefter:

Former Bucs’ Jameis Winston and the Saints have been discussing a deal that
@CharlesRobinson reports is being finalized. Winston and the Saints now looks close to being a reality.

that's a smart decision. He wasn't going to be a starter anywhere and he'll certainly benefit from learning from Brees.

TE is one of the biggest holes for the Bears (good one, anyways) and while theybmaybhave 10 TEs, none of them are any good. Their leading TE had 91 yards receiving on the year.

Even if they don't sign him to an extension it's a 3rd and a 5th and they would likely get a comp 3rd back so incredible value by Lynch.

Sadly likely means the rumours of Staley retiring are true but they just got a 31 year old Hall of Famer replacement and didn't give up much at all.
Fixed that for you

so the Saints sign Winston and also re-sign Hill to a 2 year, $21m deal on the same day. That's going to be interesting.

I predict both guys catch more passes this year than they throw!

Not to mention also traded back into the Draft yesterday to take Mississippi State QB Tommy Stevens, who is allegedly a Taysom clone and also idolizes him. Saints going QB crazy the past couple days.

I just watched the TSN story on Alex Smith's battle with sepsis after a post surgery infection. Horrifying stuff, his wife was fracking heroic through all of it.

He did get 7 TD's last season but I can't remember a player ever getting this kind of money for as few touches as he gets. I get that they want to keep him around post-Brees but it's a lot of money.

The Cleveland Browns returned to their roots when they unveiled new uniforms

Eh the Browns costumes always look the same, there’s only so much you can do with the same two shades of orange and brown. They’re nice enough.

Yeah those were bad..I especially hated the 90s youth soccer style numbering, just awful. Going back to their classic look is much better. I've always low-key liked their classic look.

Yeah the numbering is so much better. I wish all teams would rid themselves of using raised fonts for numbers.

Isn't that all a bit misleading? Rodgers has enjoyed some amazing weapons, even if they weren't first round picks.
