Every day, in civil and criminal cases throughout the country, deals get made to resolve cases. That’s what happened today in the NFL’s in-house justice system.

Teams looking to bolster their wide receiving corps before Week 1 can consider adding Kendrick Bourne. According to multiple reports, the Patriots will release Bourne.

Some of the initial reports regarding the Terry McLaurin contract extension were, as they often are, overstated.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles shared his outlook for when wide receiver Chris Godwin might be able to return to the field on Wednesday. The Bucs put Godwin on the 53-man roster rather than the physically unable to perform list, which indicates that the team thinks there’s a chance he’ll

The Seahawks really like rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe. They like him enough to give him a package of plays, despite being the backup quarterback.
