Mentioned in the story: Oregon’s Justin Herbert, Utah State’s Jordan Love and Washington’s Jacob Eason all plan to throw at the combine. Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa (hip) won’t work out in Indy but hopes to hold a personal pro day in April. No word yet on LSU’s Joe Burrow.

Ohio St. DE Chase Young will not work out at this week’s combine, but will be there for interviews and medical testing, per source. He will participate in position drills at the Ohio State pro day. He is fully healthy and ready to impress front offices.

He had 8 pressures and 4 QB hits in the Clemson game. He was not blockable. Again. You don’t know what you were looking at. Let Brian Baldinger explain it to you. https://t.co/9fydV6ZswN

Thought Claypool was a TE when I first watched him without knowing who he was.

Told y’all Claypool is a tight end.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) February 24, 2020
If he runs well at 238, which he probably will because he’s a monster, people are going to look at him as Delanie Walker 2.0. And I totally agree with that. https://t.co/NlWcJOAlbi

Patriots, Jaguars exploring pre-draft trade for @Ravens TE Hayden Hurst, but whether it happens will depend on what draft capital teams r willing to part with. Hurst, who Jags we’re going to draft in 2018 ,told me 2 months ago he wants opportunity to catch more passes. Stay tuned

Disagree here. Classic jerseys around the league are by far my favorite. Teams that have kept colors and designs keep their historical continuity/don’t look like entirely different organizations. Although I think that’s what Brent wants! #Redskins

Rivera first developed the philosophy while transitioning Cam Newton from a shotgun QB to a drop-back passer. Guessing we'll hear the theory invoked once or twice this offseason.

The proposed CBA will be put to a vote of all NFL players regardless of how the 32 player reps vote today, source says. The NFLPA's executive committee voted 6-5 not to recommend approval of the deal, same source says.

As I understand it, the issue isn’t the existence of the 17th game, but are they getting enough for it. Some players are still against 17 games period, but the majority of players and certainly union leadership is more focused on what they get for it vs are they doing it. https://t.co/SU5x9AQdhR

Packers President Mark Murphy, a competition committee member, on replay for pass interference: “Obviously it was a one-year rule. I’d say overall the results were not great. I think it really is putting especially the New York office in a really difficult position.”
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 24, 2020
Murphy said the Comp. Comm. is looking at a number of options on PI replay. Said very preliminary, but ultimately the committee will make a recommendation to ownership about what to do.

Some have speculated it's always the last Friday in February, even if that's during the combine, not before.
Others have speculated the CBA negotiations are delaying the release.
"A year ago, the guy probably would've gone in the third or fourth round, and this year, all of a sudden, he's Andrew Luck," an AFC executive said of Burrow. "And the [2019 LSU team] was very, very, very talented around him." https://t.co/0iiqc5DZ2S

The #Falcons are expected to pick up QB Matt Schaub’s $2 million option for 2020, source said. No guarantees, but Atlanta retaining Matt Ryan’s veteran backup as it heads into the offseason.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 24, 2020
He's constantly injured. He hasn't played more than 12 games in a season since 2016. If the team is going to pay a DE $15.5M in 2020 why not buy a FA who is a superior player and actually stays on the field? It's a tremendous FA class for Edges.

Former Browns’ DL Chris Smith, whose girlfriend was tragically killed in a traffic accident last September, is making a comeback and is looking to sign with an NFL team, per source. He is feeling better and ready to resume his career.

Stephen Jones says they’ve had “low” to “non-existent” activity on negotating Dak Prescott’s new contract. They last talked in September and negotiations stopped when “they were where they were and we were done where we were.”Says nothing acrimonious though and still their guy.

Stephen Jones tells me always a need for a top swing tackle but no concern about LT Tyron Smith’s health. Leighton Vander Esch, no real update yet following offseason neck surgery would “likely have limitations up to training camp before we turn him loose.”
— Jane Slater (@SlaterNFL) February 24, 2020
It's a fun product. Like what happens in the NFL I think week 3 showed a turn with teams getting 2 real weeks under their belt and the overall quality showing more improvement...except for NY. That team just looks like a disaster right now on offense.
