- The lead story, and yet, simultaneously the least surprising, is that Drew Brees has officially announced his retirement. We pretty much all knew he was done already, as it was clear after the Saints lost to the Bucs in the playoffs, that he was absorbing it all in, as if it would be the last time he ever suited up...because it was. Not long after his official retirement announcement, NBC announced he would be joining their announce team...also completely unsurprising, as we have known he signed a TV deal before the season even began...
- The Detroit Lions resigned Romeo Okwara, keeping Romeo and his brother Julian on the same team. I am happy with this, Okwara was one of the very few defensive bright spots last season. I wish they had found a way to keep BOTH Okwara and Golladay, but, better to sign one at the cost of the other, than to lose both...glass is half full, I guess. - Rumor has it that the Saints are looking at resigning Jameis Winston to be their starting QB now that Brees has retired. For their sake, I just hope Jameis paid a lot of attention to Brees, so he learned how to cut a lot of the stupid decisions. Winston has a monster arm, that's never been the problem...He spent a year under a master decision maker, if he learned what he needed to, more power to him. Otherwise, the Saints could platoon the position, switching between Winston and Hill...who just got a massive extension on his own. - The "Russell Wilson to Bears" rumors just won't die...and I just don't see how Chicago can possibly afford Wilson, without trading away half the team...they just don't have cap space to get a player like Wilson without sacrificing multiple key players... - Gronk says he wants to "dip his toes" in Free Agency. To that, I say, I'll believe it when I see it. He'll entertain a few offers, and then sign a contract for less money to stay in Tampa, so him and Tom can try to win another Super Bowl next year...Gronk is gonna stay in Tampa as long as Brady is there, and then he'll retire.
