lol. The Jags are in a tough position. He’s good but he’s not a star but wants to be paid like a star.,

A surprise: The #Jaguars are releasing WR Marqise Lee, source said. One of their most productive receivers is now a free agent – fully healthy and completely cleared medically — right before the draft.

Don't be surprised if the Eagles take a flyer on him.

Sources: Retired #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has told New England that he’s interested in playing football again — and would want to do it with the #Bucs and QB Tom Brady. A trade would have to be worked out for this to happen.

The #Patriots and #Bucs have had some communication, from what I’m told. It’s not unprecedented — the #Seahawks and #Raiders did a similar trade with Marshawn Lynch.

In non-Gronk news: The #Cowboys cut WR Lance Lenoir, source said. More moves before the draft.

You can tell that from the picture? I didn't know it was finished. Shows how much I keep up with stuff.

I've been meaning to address Allegiant Stadium...I follow stadium/ballpark/arena construction on the Skyscraper City forums...been meaning to talk about the Raiders' new place, especially since they're going to be the second NFL venue with a retractible field:

You can sort of see the field tray area in the South end of this picture...looks a lot like State Farm Stadium in the way it has been built for this venue.

This place has - as you can see - a fixed roof, using ETFE as the material on top that allows light in. Not completely transparent however. Same stuff is used on the roof at US Bank Stadium (Vikings), and is also in the process of being installed at SoFi Stadium in L.A.

The North end (shown here in the foreground where the scaffolding is) has doors that opens up to the Strip...will have an amazing view of the Luxor and Mandalay Bay, along with a giant torch dedicated to Al Davis. Those white lines around the exterior are LED lights - will light up at night, and they are installing a huge exterior video board on the East side as well.

One difference this stadium will have over State Farm Stadium, is that this place has permanent seating in the South end zone where the field rolls in...the supports (somehow) lift up to let the field tray roll in, and then go back down one it's in. Really interested to see how that's going to work.

The clock is running out on a deal for #Jaguars franchised pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue and there hasn’t been much traction to date. These deals are complicated and difficult — both in settling on compensation and doing an extension with his agent. At this point, unlikely.

Source: The #Texans have engaged in “very preliminary“ discussions with QB Deshaun Watson on a potential contract extension. With Laremy Tunsil’s contract complete, Watson is the next priority. The is team hoping to reach an agreement before the start of the season.
