Rams Decline C John Sullivan’s Option https://t.co/LjgdlvI7nl pic.twitter.com/brtbESPmdA

This is interesting: The #Rams did not exercise veteran center John Sullivan’s 2019 option, sources say. He's 33 but hasn’t missed a start the past two seasons. One of NFL’s smartest guys up front, now about to hit the market.

When I spoke to Eric Weddle during Pro Bowl week, he said he’d heard from opposing offensive coaches who told him he still affects what they’re trying to do with the way he covers the field. Affirmed his belief he still had good football left. We’ll see what develops for him.

From Up to the Minute: The #Ravens have not placed the franchise tag on LB CJ Mosley, who is set to be quite rich. pic.twitter.com/u6ipvoSt3F

The New England Patriots, with three notable free agents - DE Trey Flowers, OT Trent Brown & K Stephen Gostkowski - are not planning to use franchise tag on any of them, sources tell @FieldYates and me. Barring last-minute change, the three are now scheduled to hit open market.

"There is no way new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury is telling anyone anything about the Cards’ draft plans...Kingsbury became the head coach of the Cardinals to save quarterback Josh Rosen, the Cards’ first-round pick from last year, not to trade him." https://t.co/A9Z8JJfD5r
— Tarik El-Bashir (@Tarik_ElBashir) March 5, 2019
Keep in mind that a chunk of the NFL establishment thinks Josh Rosen has character issues because he has independent thoughts and sometimes expresses them.
— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) March 4, 2019
2. They’d get a young QB they like on extremely cap-friendly deal. Allows flex while still under Smith contract. Key. But: to me value drops once start to shop and that could lead to lower price tag. (Of course also depends how many teams involved). Stay tuned.

Some sources think, "Washington would try a big move into the Top 5 to select Murray if the Cardinals don’t take him at No. 1," per @JPFinlayNBCS.

Charley is currently doubling down on air: "It was the worst report I ever heard on a top-ranked quarterback from an interview standpoint." Says he spoke to more than two teams and got the same reports from all. https://t.co/ntoDxrOOIM

If the Cardinals are shopping Josh Rosen, Kyler Murray aced the only interview that matters.

Some context surrounding Josh Rosen's 2018 rookie season:

•Switched OCs mid-season
•Played behind NFL's worst pass pro O-Line & was extremely inexperienced
•Extremely inexperienced receiving corps
•Of any rookie QB:
-Faced most top-15 pass Ds
-Faced least bottom-15 pass Ds pic.twitter.com/tEX0nnlGSL
Doug Williams was the one who actually said they weren't trading him. I think they will let him run the draft like last year

Folks, I led you the wrong way on this one last week. Gotta take the L here. I gave you bad info following @JosinaAnderson’s report Collins believed his days with the team were over. Looks like he saw it coming. Apologies on my end. Gotta be better. https://t.co/q5A4YE5FSB
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 4, 2019
Landon Collins is 25 years old, has made three Pro Bowls and been a first-team All-Pro. The locker room loves him. The fan base loves him. For the team that drafted him to let him walk when they can hold him in place for $11.15M is just a brutally bad decision.
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) March 5, 2019
Watching Collins’ game film right now. And I think his man-coverage technique vs. TEs has improved. Is he (or any safety) going to win every rep? Nah. But I love the way he competes. And that makes your secondary better. https://t.co/a7KXgZ5tzi
— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) March 6, 2019
Dave Gettleman better be careful. This sent a dangerous message to the locker room. Landon Collins was a quality player, captain, did everything they asked and the Giants showed little desire to keep him. https://t.co/60HrtIy9ar

Landon Collins has been a nightmare for opposing offenses to gameplan around.

Clinton-Dix is a tough sell. His leadership was amazing and he's a great dude, but he really struggled with everything.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) March 6, 2019
He really can't play over the top with Collins in the box, which is where he's at his best. https://t.co/vt07A0mmo8
From @gmfb: The #Chiefs are open to trading pass-rusher Dee Ford, with the thought being that he's a better 3-4 fit. If no trade, they'll be happy to keep him for another season. pic.twitter.com/1rzy0dylQ3
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 5, 2019
While it may happen eventually, sources say the #Chiefs have not released OLB Justin Houston, contrary to one report. They continue to have trade discussions involving Houston, on a day several pass rushers have been taken off the market with franchise tags.

Not surprise here, but the #Eagles have restructured Lane Johnson’s contract, NFL source confirms @caplannfl report. No details yet, but his base salary was converted to signing bonus (allocated over years) to create cap space.

Thai idiocy:TV program “MasterChef Thailand” thought it was a good idea to use 2 endangered spotted stingray fish (Aetobatus ocellatus/narinari) for their cooking show. A very good reason for sensible people to switch off the program. No apologies or explanation were forthcoming. pic.twitter.com/4V8dhmDx9e
— ThaiMythbuster (@thaimythbuster) March 5, 2019
MasterChef reacts stingray controversy: Nothing wrong with cooking endangered Stingray; other TV cooks have done the same and eaglleray is commonly eaten in local cuisine in Petch Buri. No law hasjas broken as Thailand has no law against eating endangered stingray. I rest my case pic.twitter.com/DWgJveakwZ
