The new 4-year extension for #Broncos S Darian Stewart is worth up to $30M, source said. $28M base. $17.5M in guarantees.

Apparently Brandin Cooks will be on the trading block entering the offseason. 

He'd be a fourth year receiver and I believe the team would have the option to exercise his fifth year option, which they likely would.

Cooks was a player I really wanted in the 2014 draft, so I'd be thrilled if the Ravens sent a second to the Saints for him.

There has to be some story behind that. It doesn't make whole lot of a sense to trade their arguably best receiver over last few seasons, then suddenly he gets no targets last week in a blow out win, now trade block...

I think they really like Michael Thomas and he's not satisfied with not being the guy anymore.

Just speculation on my part.

I'd take Cooks in a heartbeat. Would be a great option to replace Smith Sr. if he retires.

With SSS retiring Cooks would be a great trade for the Ravens, depending on the price of course.

That's kind of bad that he couldn't stay on their team. It's not like their LB position is stacked.

Browns have signed CB Jamar Taylor to a 3-year $15M extension through 2019. The Browns traded for Taylor during the Draft, he was a former second round pick in 2013 of the Dolphins. For those who take PFF seriously, Taylor has graded out positively as a nickel and on the outside.

Sounds like Tony Romo wants to go the Peyton Manning route and wants to pick his new team for next year. It is being reported that he may request a release as he wants to keep his options open. It is being said he is keeping an eye on the Broncos, and potentially Arizona and Miami.

It seems that Hester is back in the league.

Wish him luck, he's going to need it.

If he does what he did here, the Lions chances of winning went up.

I was picking the Lions as upset pick from the getgo, so with Hester joining the Hawks, my pick won't be upset anymore....
