University of Albany, 6th year Senior AJ Simon, a late round pass rush draft prospect, who just visited the Patriots on a NFL 30 visit, died last night at the age of 25. Cause of death has not been announced.
 Edit: "Found unresponsive on Tuesday night". No official cause of death, I'm assuming that is pending autopsy/toxicology. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By David_ESM: After wearing them in a few games last season, the Browns will do a full switch to white facemasks for 2024. They will also change the Browns signature helmet logo back to a white facemask (from black). The same logo was used from 92-95 and 99-05. https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/f_auto/browns/bag2m0qp436takxzsfv4 Better look (and a throwback)...still hard to polish the turd Brown. My high school colors were brown and gold, so I know something about that.

Via PFT : Rapid concussion blood test gets FDA approval, could be used on sidelines in future
A blood test designed to aid in the rapid diagnosis of concussions has gained FDA approval. The i-STAT Alinity test can detect two proteins released into the blood when someone suffers a concussion and, per statistics from its developer Abbott, has a 95.6 percent rate of ruling out concussions if the test is conducted within 24 hours of the injury. The test is faster than the existing i-STAT TBI test, which requires blood serum and the use of a centrifuge to process results. Dr. David Okonkwo, a University of Pittsburgh professor and the Steelers' team neurologist, helped lead the development team of the test and said it could be used during NFL games and other sporting events after further research. "The nature of the studies performed to gain FDA clearance for these tests were done in patients brought to level one trauma centers," Dr. Okonkwo said, via Abby Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We have every reason to believe there is significant overlap with the injuries to athletes who sustain a concussion, but we need to do studies specifically in that patient population to confirm that use." Abbott expects the test to be available in emergency rooms and urgent care centers this summer. |

Already mentioned the Texans will have 4 jerseys and 3 helmets this year. With one jersey being an "H-Town" tribute jersey designed by former players.
Is this a leak of the 3rd helmet style to match the H-Town jersey?  |

Walt Anderson is stepping down from his position as Senior VP of Officiating.
One source stated that his departure takes effect May 1. Anderson will apparently remain in the officiating department overseeing replay operations, however there are indications that his exact role going forward is not finalized. He was the 5th person to hold that position since 2010. Has long been characterized as a job that no one wants. His son is about to become a league official (up from the Big 12) so that also may have played into it. The NFL has listed the position internally for a replacement. Referee Bill Vinovich and Side Judge Eugen Hall are expected to be up for consideration. |

NFL League Office statement: Following a review, the NFL concluded there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that Zay Flowers engaged in any activity that violated the NFL's personal conduct policy. There will be no action taken by the league and Flowers remains eligible to participate in all team activities.
In regard to an alleged domestic violence incident in January that became news in February. There was a 911 call which contained a woman crying but then stated there was no emergency. The same woman then went to a police department a couple days later and stated she was bruised from an assault but she was hesitant to provide more information because the person involved was a "high profile NFL player". She never named Flowers but police identified him as the suspect based on the woman and social media evidence. She had stated his brother also pulled out a gun during the incident. As she refused to name the suspect, declined to press charges, and refused to file an official report, there were no charges filed and the investigation was suspended. |

The National Football League is pleased to announce the addition of five new officials to its roster for the 2024 season:
"Our entire family is very proud of Derek's outstanding career as a college football official. We are excited to see him have the opportunity to contribute as an official at the NFL level. With Derek's promotion, I expect to begin the process of transitioning to a new role as an NFL Rules Analyst & Club Communications Liaison, where I will focus on communicating with the clubs during the week and with our broadcast partners on gamedays. While I will no longer be making officiating decisions, together with a variety of stakeholders I will continue to look for new and better ways to promote excellence in officiating performance. I welcome this challenge and look forward to the opportunity to support the men and women who do such a tremendous job officiating our game at every level." |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bennjammin: Saw an article today where Kraft 'warned' the Falcons about Bill. Thought that was pretty shitty of Kraft. Via ESPN: Kraft delivered a stark assessment of Belichick's character, according to a source who spoke to two people: a close Kraft friend and a longtime Belichick confidant. The source quoted the Belichick source as saying, "Robert called Arthur to warn him not to trust Bill." That account was backed up, the source said, by the close Kraft friend. Multiple sources said that Kraft spoke with "some candor" to Blank about Belichick, though the sources declined to elaborate. One source close to Belichick said Kraft "was a big part" of why the Falcons passed on hiring him. A source close to Kraft told ESPN "[Kraft] found Bill to be extremely difficult and obstinate and kind of stubborn and, in the end, not worthy of his trust. And also very, very, very arrogant." A spokesperson for Kraft denied to ESPN that the Patriots owner said anything negative about Belichick during his conversations with Blank. |

Bill Tobin, former player for the Houston Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos, former General Manager of the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, has passed away at the age of 83.
His son Duke Tobin has been the Director of Player Personnel for the Bengals for the last 25 years. Bill joined his son working as a scout for the Bengals Personnel Dept for the last 20 years. He drafted 8 Pro Football Hall of Famers during his GM years including Walter Payton and 5 other Bears players related to the 1985 team. "He was a true NFL success story," said Bengals President Mike Brown. "He was a good person and I considered him a good friend. With Bill, I respected everything he said. I just took it as a given. He had an eye for players and what they would develop into. If he said the guy was a good player, then he was a good player; that's all I would need to know. We will miss him." |

Edit: Via The Athletic: The Pegulas are putting a chunk of the Buffalo Bills up for sale. The Bills confirmed to The Athletic that owner Terry Pegula has hired Florida-based investment bankers Allen & Company to handle the potential transaction but declined to say how much of the team is being sold. A source briefed on the discussions said the working figure is 25 percent, with the number not set in stone. "The Pegula family has retained Allen & Company to explore the potential sale of a non-controlling, minority interest in the Bills," the team said Friday in a statement. "These discussions only involve the Bills and no other team." No investment would be possible without Terry Pegula and the Pegula family maintaining a controlling interest in the team. Their continued commitment to Western New York, the new Highmark Stadium, our fans and the other teams in their portfolio remains unchanged. "Neither the team nor the Pegula family are able to comment further at this point." Three sources with direct knowledge of the process stressed Pegula eventually might not sell part of the Bills, but for the first time, he's ready to welcome a limited partner. |

The Bills were the 30th most valuable team in the 2023 Forbes estimations. $3.7B, only above the Lions ($3.6B) and the Bengals ($3.5B). Just below the Cardinals ($3.8B) and the Jaguars ($4.0B).
The sale price will certainly be above valuation, as both the Broncos and Commanders sales showed us, but as a baseline, 25% of $3.7B is $925M. So I would expect Pegula to net over $1B for that 25%. |

It's a crying shame, too, because he was really really close to completing an "all-time" career. Dude was absolutely beastly at the WR game. Many people still have no idea just how dominant he was for as long as he was. To think he got to play with Tom Brady in both NE and Tampa and flamed out both times. I still contend that if he had played his cards straight while in NE, he'd have two rings instead of one and Brady would have eight rings instead of seven. Remember, the Patriots started that year 8-0 and had a monster defense that was setting records left and right. When AB got shown the door, it was the end of the Patriots being legitimate contenders. at his peak, he was arguabley the best in the league. him and Julio were 1 and 1A, but two completely different recievers. Julio broke down physically and AB broke down mentally. |

I’ll disagree. He had two great seasons after that hit. But then he hit 30 and it went downhill fast. Father Time is still undefeated. |
