Around the League Draft and Free Agent News

[Mr. Scot]

Stuff happening around the NFL during draft week...

Free agent signings tend to be few and far between in the days leading up to the draft, but word that the Bills have signed runningback TJ Yeldon. I know one or two folks were interested in getting him here. You were close. He went to Panthers North.

A new team has apparently entered into the Frank Clark trade discussion, specifically the Kansas City Chiefs. PFT's Josh Alper mentioned them as an option, with the Jets and Panthers North also on the radar.

And this from the broadcast world: The Sporting News reports that "barring a miracle", Peyton Manning will not be joining the Monday Night Football crew. Apparently, Peyton doesn't want to risk having to do commentary on games where his brother Eli is playing. Makes sense, and at least potentially leaves that gig as an option for Greg Olsen next year.

Feel free to post more news as it happens...

Yooooooo I hope this is true! We could actually grab Sweat! 

[LinvilleGorge]

I can't imagine Sweat's heart evaluation was THAT bad of he was allowed to actually participate at the Combine. Then again, it could be some other issue getting flagged.

Either way, I call BS. That wouldn't just be leaking out now. That would've been known for weeks if not months.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, I'm not buying that whole line that he'll drop out of the first.

I do grant it's possible. And I'd add that people shouldn't assume just because prior players' heart issues have been no big deal that his will also.

Yea very true. This could be something more serious than Star but I do want him with our 16th pick.

[Mr. Scot]

Lots of talk that our first pick will be an offensive lineman.

Obviously, I hope we go BPA.

With three days remaining before the 2019 NFL Draft kicks off, trade rumors continue to heat up.

The biggest name available ahead of Thursday's first round is Seattle Seahawks franchise-tagged defensive end Frank Clark.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday on Good Morning Football that the Seahawks have been talking to several teams about Clark, including the Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets.

I guess we know why Mayock sent his scouts home. cant trust them and they are from the previous regime so they will be fired anyway

Re:Sweat, I was watching NFL network last week at some point, and I'm almost sure Rapoport said Sweat's issue is an enlarged heart.  That was the first I heard of the actual condition.

[Mr. Scot]

PFT now says the Jets aren't interested in Clark.

Watch them trade for him tomorrow.

Could mean they try to move up to 1 for Murray.
