I don't think there are any. The team improved as he cleaned out his desk.

Remember the time he was sitting on the bench during the 4th quarter of a tied game?

Wisely he skipped today’s practice that was open to the media. He can’t run from the media forever. Will have to face them soon.
Bottom line, if Cleveland doesn’t race out to a great start, high chance ODB does what divas do...which is implode.
Leopards never change their spots.

I doubt much at all. Ian Rapaport provided good insight into why Christopher Johnson did what he did and the timing behind it. I applaud him for making the move however unpopular it was at the time yesterday.

ESPN Richmond just confirmed, Douglas (PHI) is in talks to become the next GM of the NYJ with Daniel Jeremiah expected to be Director of Player Personnel. If this happens, I love these two hires.

This certainly doesn't help the Cardinals get out of the gutter:

Adam Schefter

Arizona’s eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson is being suspended the first eight games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, league sources told ESPN.

Edit: Schefter has updated his report and it's a six game suspension.

Dang..

Isn't the time for a new GM before the draft, not immediately after? Just seems like odd timing.

Gase has a tendency to get people fired.

Just so I understand correctly, Peterson asked the team to restructure his contract to reduce the financial hit?
Wow. Just wow!

Definitely unexpected news for Patrick Peterson.

Slightly but not unheard of, it's been done several times before. I mean, they put in a ton of time into scouting players FOR the draft, doesn't make sense to fire them before it happens.

Yeah, he had a fundraiser last night and was apparently none too pleased that the news was leaked right before it started.

Correct, and the interesting thing about Dorsey was he was the one who drafted Mahomes, so there's that.

Sorry; wasn't insinuating that. More as to the fact that he has an eye for talent (personal character aside).

No sorries at all, brotha, I feel ya. But yes, clearly an eye for talent.

Josh Norman wants to put Giants GM Dave Gettleman on the Redskins payroll because he 1) let Norman sign with Washington after withdrawing the franchise tag in Carolina, 2) let Landon Collins walk in free agency which led to him signing with Washington, and 3) drafted Daniel Jones which allowed Washington to draft Dwayne Haskins.
