So new Saints DE Chase Young gets $5.01 million, and the remaining $7.99 million will be tied to him being on the active roster on gameday—which protects the team, in the case that he’s not ready to roll.
FWIW, this is probably the biggest per-game roster bonus number I’ve seen. https://t.co/fUlnZYVXaV

Some background on Saints DE Chase Young’s deal: Scans on his neck made it tough to find a suitor. No one would clear him on his physical. The condition was initially found after he had a stinger last year vs. the Browns in preseason.
He’ll have neck surgery tomorrow.

Caleb Williams to @wyche89 when asked if he is now fully expecting to go No. 1 overall to the Bears.
“I wouldn’t say it’s my full expectation. Obviously things can happen. Things can change throughout this time. I think it’s around 33 days, 30 days or so until April 25. A lot…

Ohio State Pro Day is today, and teams have been informed that all-everything WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will not be working out for scouts. Will be relatively quiet in Columbus, with so many high-end draft prospects choosing to stay in school, no GMs or HCs scheduled to be there.

There also is no formal proposal by the NFL competition committee on the electronic system to measure first downs that has been tested. But the league has said that it will seek input from the owners on whether to push forward on utilizing such a system by the ’24 or ’25 season.

The underlying issue with hip-drop tackling is it’s the outgrowth of coaches teaching Seahawk tackling—which is rugby-style, designed to take the head out of hits. The NFL recognized this, and used rugby to define the hip-drop.

Chris Simon was one of my first “favorite players” on the Caps. Back in the mid-90s, he was one of my guys. Peter Bondra, Chris Simon, Sergei Gonchar, Calle Jo.
Devastating to hear of his passing at just 52. RIP. ♥️https://t.co/w0hxDA4N5S
