One look at DeShon Elliott’s career overall grades and the first word that comes to mind is “consistent”:
2019 - 69.7
2020 - 66.6
2021 - 65.6
2022 - 66.5
You will absolutely take that for a depth player on a very cheap contract. Another solid move by Miami

Brown gives the Bengals more stability at LT. I think the biggest specific upgrade he offers is protecting inside-out & anchoring against power which will make the pocket more firm. The corner will still be a little short, but Burrow can work off of that easier.

No one buys their way to relevancy or success in the NFL. It comes down to draft and development, and using FA to supplement. That may not sit well with @Raiders fans right now, but Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels hope they come to appreciate it. My story: https://t.co/wkHQAsMpJg
@willlbonn @devz562 I’ve had a problem with the whole cheap and “they are disrespecting him” narrative that has been spun in some circles. Second biggest deal in history of nfl is cheap and disrespectful? I don’t fault Jackson for not taking it, but it’s a joke not to consider that a legit effort
#Buccaneers Baker Mayfield one year, $4M (gtd), salary $2M (gtd), $2M roster bonus 5th day league year, $4.5M playtime-playoffs, passing stats incentives
Sources say #Chargers are among the teams to have shown interest in #Cowboys FA TE Dalton Schultz. So far, price has been too high, but the Bolts also hired former Dallas OC Kellen Moore, so there is a connection there.

D.J. Moore on his relationship w/ former Panthers WR Steve Smith: "When I had bad games he would text me and be like 'what was that?' in explicit ways...he was kind of like a mentor. When I was doing good, he gave me praise. But if I was doing bad, it was bad, bad conversations"
Brissett said he's never had a desire to hire an agent. "Saving money is always worth it," he said. Of Lamar Jackson, he says, "I don't see anything wrong with repping yourself."
The Bills and RB Nyheim Hines have now officially agreed to a renegotiated contract that includes a $1M signing bonus and the chance to earn more than the $4.79M in cash he was previously due, per source. It helps Hines’ upside, Buffalo’s salary cap.

Per NFLPA records, the Patriots were able to trade TE Jonnu Smith’s entire contract to the Falcons. He is due $11m this year with $6.25m fully guaranteed, and the Falcons assume all of it.
That’s a win for the Patriots, even if they only got a 7th round pick out of it

My Honest Reality
March 19, 2023

Don't get me wrong, I want to play as long as I can. But when you look at the facts, it's my honest reality.

I got to extend my career longer than I deserved.
Then, I left the game after 2017. And after 3+ years, I came back in 2021.

The reality is I am one of a large number of players that find themselves in this "in-between" space.
