Ah. Not a QB. My mistake.

Nope, not a QB, which Cleveland desperately needs, but Barkley is too good to pass up. They will be kicking themselves if they don’t take him.

Good for Cleveland that they also have the #5 pick and can get a top QB prospect with that pick.
 
More legal fun and games for the NFL. I swear the NFL lawyers must make more than all the players and NFL brass combined. Anyway last year Old Jerry must have REALLY pissed off his fellow owners. Funny thing is when he was going after Goddell he said he had 20 plus owners on his side. lol I guess not. He lied and now those 'allies' are after his ass.

NFL to seek millions from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as reimbursement for legal fees..

The NFL is demanding reimbursement in excess of $2 million from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for court costs related to star running back Ezekiel Elliott's suspension and Jones' threatened litigation over commissioner Roger Goodell's contract, sources told ESPN's Dan Graziano.

The owners are citing a rule that has been on the books for more than two decades, that says if an owner participates in bringing litigation against other owners, he must reimburse them for the legal fees.

An earlier report by The New York Times characterized the reimbursement as a fine to be levied on Jones by Goodell.

The league will order Jones to pay all fees that the compensation committee incurred while legally defending itself from the longtime Cowboys owner's threats to sue over the extension of Goodell's contract. The Cowboys never followed through on that suit. Jones will also have to compensate the NFL for all its legal fees spent defending the Elliott suspension.

The reimbursement action was generated by fellow owners, not Goodell, and has been approved by the league's finance committee, sources told Graziano.

Jones clashed with Goodell and the league on multiple issues in 2017. Jones was a vocal advocate of delaying a contract extension for Goodell and proposed on Dec. 1 to implement a six-month moratorium on finalizing the deal. Jones also threatened to sue the league if the compensation committee approved Goodell's extension, and was publicly critical of Elliott's six-game suspension.

The Cowboys did not offer a comment when contacted by ESPN.

The issues between Jones and Goodell went back to training camp. Jones asserted during training camp last summer that he did not believe Elliott would be suspended. When Goodell made his decision to suspend Elliott for six games, lead investigator Michelle Roberts was not counseled, nor was her opinion of the case taken into consideration. That played a big part in the legal back-and-forth between Elliott, the NFL Players Association and the NFL. The Cowboys offered "statements of support" through the legal system from their team attorney, Jason Cohen, who attended the hearings in Texas and New York.

Cousins is a preacher's kid from Michigan. I think Minnesota has the edge.

Out of the four 'finalists', Minnesota would seem to be stocked at the QB position. Keenum, good playoff run, Bradford, high value trade from Philly and Bridgewater, a high draft pick. All the other three have less options, imo.

All three in MN will be free agents, and the team doesn't like any of them as much as they like Cousins.
NYJ can offer the most money, but I don't think Cousins wants to play or live in NY.
Denver would be second choice.
AZ doesn't have enough cap space.
 
Barkley was a beast in the combine. He’s easily the best player available in the 2018 draft, and he will be a star in the NFL.

and it appears cleveland is willing to make him available to the highest bidder
 
The AFC South is REALLY going to be interestinf.

Watson. After a strong rookie performance before going down with an ACL he was lightning it up for the Texans.

Luck. Luck has been one of the top QBs in the league when healthy. If he is healthy again, Colts become a problem in that division.

Jaguars. One of the best defenses and an upcoming team. If Bortles shows consistent improvement we can be talking about this team as an SB caliber team.

Titans. Mariota dissapointment season was particullary due to the fact that the system sucks and his injuries. But when healthy they have the roster to compete with anyone
