Too bad about Gladney. Lots of problems since being drafted

Re: Justin Jefferson, is that even a decision for them? His first 2 seasons have been basically historic

Only if you're one of those old fossils who go even whiter at the prospect of paying a wide receiver that much scratch.

Jeff Gladney died in a car wreck. RIP.

WTF??!!!

Aw man that is F'd up. Just last week he signed with someone after being let go by MIN. He fought being lied on and having his name dragged. And now... RIP young man. May the next life treat you better then this one.

Wa did U say sonny?

I think moving forward you’re going to see 2 different philosophies around WRs….

-some GMs are going to be very willing give up picks for the right to pay an established WR 20m per

-other GMs are going to see WRs with a Kleenex-box mentality. There’s going to be good young ones in the draft every year….why pay 20 for that position.

I look at a deal like Hill got….It may pay off for a year or so but I don’t think it’s going to age well.

I've seen it reported though that both Hill and Adams were offered contracts similar to what they got with their new teams but wanted out anyway. Marquise Brown wanted out due to the system they ran in Baltimore. AJ Brown is the only one that wasn't getting offered the money he wanted. I think there's at least a solid chance the not wanting to pay WR's narrative is overblown.

Of course there will be guys like Stefon Diggs or Amari Cooper but that's more of a factor of not being able to pay three receivers and having to make a decision on who to keep.

No way are the Bears D any good without him. Yay

Buccaneers add Akiem Hicks, which likely closes the door on Ndamukong Smh

For the Bucs, “Hello, Hicks” likely means, “See ya, Suh.”

The Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with veteran defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The contract is worth “up to” $10 million.

The development likely means that Ndamukong Suh won’t be back for a fourth season with the Bucs. The second overall pick in the 2010 draft, Suh has played for the Lions, Dolphins, Rams, and Bucs.

He appeared in Super Bowl LIII with the Rams, and he won Super Bowl LV with the Bucs.

Hicks joined the Bears in 2016. He was a third-round pick of the Saints in 2012. He spent part of the 2015 season with the Patriots, following a trade from New Orleans.

I would welcome Suh back

Memorial Day weekend is now a memory. You likely spent most of it not checking out the non-work websites you typically check out only while at work.

So now that you’re back to work and checking out the various non-work websites that you check out only while at work, here’s what you may have missed while not working.

The Aaron Donald retirement watch is back on.

Donald is doing business with Donda Sports.

WR Antonio Brown says he won’t be playing in 2022.

A baseball player was suspended three games for fighting with another baseball player over fantasy football.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says WR CeeDee Lamb is an upgrade over Amari Cooper.

Cowboys WR Simi Fehoko is getting first-team reps in OTAs.

During the scouting process, Saints assistant G.M. Jeff Ireland thought WR Chris Olave conjured memories of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is talking up one of his less-known receivers.

Bears QB Justin Fields is talking up all of them.

Packers WR Christian Watson eventually will be a “problem” for defenses; the sooner that happens, the better.

It would possibly happen sooner, if Packers QB Aaron Rodgers were attending OTAs.

Bucs WR Travis Jonsen was arrested for DUI.

With Patriots OT Isaiah Wynn skipping OTAs, OT Trent Brown moved from the right side to the left side. Could he stay there?

Despite turning 70, Patriots coach Bill Belichick remains as intense as ever.

DE Jadeveon Clowney thinks that the Browns have a shot at winning the Super Bowl.

S Justin Reid quickly has become the leader of the Chiefs’ defense.

No QB has ever lost to all 32 teams; Matt Ryan can be the first to lose to 31 this seasons, if he loses to the Jaguars and the Raiders in 2022.

Cowhoys rookie OL Tyler Smith is honored to wear Hall of Famer Larry Allen’s number.

Broncos DE Bradley Chubb wants to keep his team’s losing streak against the Chiefs from getting to 14.

New Steelers WR Miles Boykin was programmed to hate Pittsburgh during his time with the Ravens.

Could Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster be a viable candidate for Comeback Player of the Year?

Raiders TE Darren Waller is a bargain for the team — too much of a bargain.

The NFL has tweaked the timeline for head-coach interviews.

Vikings CB Kris Boyd is raising money for the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde.

Former first-round CB Jeff Gladney died in an automobile accident in Dallas.

I would welcome Suh back

I wouldn't be against it as I thought the dude was honest on his way out about his motivations. It probably doesn't make sense though if they are confident in their young guys.

[jaadam4]

It may pay off for a year or so but I don’t think it’s going to age well.

I don’t think it’s going age well at all for Miami. They can pay Hill a ridiculous salary because Tua is on a rookie deal but Tua sucks. Hill won’t change that.

[jaadam4]

I would welcome Suh back

I would too but Suh won’t come back to Detroit

[froot loops]

I don't see why he wouldn't, but at this point he is replacement level.

[chemiclord]

I don't see why he wouldn't, but at this point he is replacement level.

Pretty much. He'd be a decent rotational piece that might on occasion flash his old stuff... but anyone signing him should expect a JAG for the most part.

[jaadam4]

If Campbell wants tough as nails players you won't find anyone better than Suh. He was ready to kill Stafford for nothing in the NFC Championship
