Matt Ryan officially retired from the NFL on the same day that Zach Wilson was traded to the Broncos, and Wilson is the story. That's a sad and ironic footnote to Ryan's career.

He didn't play at all last year, he was already retired in most people's minds.

Pulling that announcement during draft week was going to get overshadowed regardless.

They can’t. The Eagles are restricted by the salary cap.

The Eagles can extend Brown, and for 2024 they'll be ok. However, Brown is the only current player whose contract can be significantly adjusted in or for 2025 or 2026. The situation is fine until something goes wrong. Hand to mouth after this move.

If anything they'll lower his 24-26 cap hits as part of the extension.

No. You’re wrong. It’s dire. They may not be able to put together a 52 man roster. Shit is dire with this cap.

Actually, Kelso was the starting FS.

Someone I've worked for lives in the same part of town as some of the players; Kelso used to be his neighbor.
This guy didn't follow football at all, and was talking to Kelso during some sort of school function that parents were at.
He asked him:
"What do you do for a living?" "I'm a pro football player."
"Who do you play for?"

The funniest part about that was at the time Kelso was getting a lot of negative press on a pretty regular basis.

Names fun with the UDFA signing notes for the Bills:

OG Keaton Bills, will have the same name on the front of his jersey as the back
CB Keni-H Lovely from Western Michigan, great name
RB Frank Gore Jr, legacy
QB Gunnar Watson and OT Gunner Britton
WR Xavier Johnson (finally got their WR Xavier after passing on Worthy and Legette)
LB David Ugwoegbu, no idea how to pronounce that one

and of course Bills draft choices included

C Sedrick Van Pran-Granger
LB Edefuan Olofoshio
