#Dolphins C Aaron Brewer is one of the best OL in space in the NFL. His explosiveness is rare.
Jun 10
Just in: The #Dolphins and All-Pro C Aaron Brewer have agreed to a 3-year, $52.5M extension, per @AdamSchefter.
A former undrafted free agent, Brewer was a finalist for the NFL’s Protector of the Year Award last season.

When the #Texans hired DeMeco Ryans as HC in 2023, special teams coordinator Frank Ross thought they were getting a super energetic, bounce-off-the-walls type of guy.
Then came their first meeting...
Ross says he quickly learned about Ryans' resolve and calm demeanor — a lesson that's stuck with him ever since:

#Texans Special Teams Coordinator Frank Ross got to be a contestant on “Deal or No Deal” while he was in college, with the goal of raising money to get better equipment for his football team.
The story is so good. 💼💰

It might sound crazy, but it’s within the realm of possibility that Deshaun Watson ends up as the #Browns’ QB1, plays well this season, and hits free agency next offseason with a chance to land another contract.
From all accounts, he and Todd Monken have built a great relationship so far.

It’s a known fact Lamar Jackson wanted a fully-guaranteed contract during his last extension talks, and the #Ravens weren’t willing to do it.
With Lamar due for another extension, it’s fair to assume he’s once again pushing for a fully-guaranteed deal.

The Matthew Stafford contract extension from last week gave him a $5M raise for this season.
There was also $50M added for 2027, but none of it is guaranteed until March of next year. And with Ty Simpson now on the roster, that’s a notable detail.

There’s a very real scenario where Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is on an NFL team for training camp via the NFL Supplemental Draft.
It’s a fascinating situation, and we should have an answer very soon.

It’s one of the bigger “what ifs” in Super Bowl history...
#49ers S Ji’Ayir Brown talks about the freak injury to Dre Greenlaw in the Super Bowl vs. the #Chiefs and the impact it had on the team:
“He is the spark plug. He’s the engine. … It drained us. I think if Dre Greenlaw played that game, the Chiefs never pass the 50-yard line. Honestly.”

Terrion Arnold says there was a RB at Alabama who tried to truck Brian Branch during a drill where you’re not supposed to hit anyone...
Branch told him: “Remember that.”
Next time they ran it, Branch knocked him out. 🤯

The #Chiefs getting CB Mansoor Delane, DT Peter Woods, and DE R Mason Thomas feels like three potential immediate-impact players for a defense that desperately needed to get younger and add serious reinforcement.

The #Browns were able to draft 4 players many viewed as potential 1st-round picks (Fano, Concepcion, Boston, and McNeil-Warren), while also adding two 2027 4th-round picks during the draft, giving them 10 total picks next year.
The picks. The process. I loved all of it.

Malik Nabers speaking his mind and being authentic is a good thing — and something we should want players to do.
Nabers will learn more about roster building and NFL business as time goes on, but I really hope this doesn’t make him afraid to speak openly going forward.
