“It’s just time.”

Philip Rivers retiring from NFL after 17 seasons.

Will be interesting to see what the Colts do. Brissett is a free agent and made 15 mil as a backup to Rivers last year. I can't see them offering him that kind of money again. They'd likely have to trade up to get one of the top five QBs in the draft this year.

Jay Morrison tweeted a picture of an Odds sheet for the Colts starting QB in Week 1. Some interesting names near the top.

1. Jacoby Brissett +300
2. Matthew Stafford +400
3. Andy Dalton +500
4. Jacob Eason +800
5. Brian Hoyer +1000

If I were them, I'd do what they did with Rivers and throw a bunch of money and try to steal Prescott away from the Cowboys. The guy may still be sour about the Franchise Tag and they can't use it again on him this year.

Steelers are bringing in both Dwayne Haskins and Hue Jackson for visits.

I'm ready for a Steelers team with Hue Jackson at Offensive Coordinator and Dwayne Haskins at QB.

Sources: The Steelers are planning to sign ex-first-round QB Dwayne Haskins today. Haskins is meeting with the coaches now, and if all goes well, a deal will be hammered out.

The Eagles are zeroing in on #Colts OC Nick Sirianni as their new head coach, per me, @MikeGarafolo and @TomPelissero. A young, impressive coach who received a strong recommendation from Frank Reich.

Good fit for both. You get a guy who got fired for seedy things backing up a guy who should have been in jail for seedy things

With the #Lions and Matthew Stafford parting ways, the focus of the offseason is increasingly on QBs: Deshaun Watson, Carson Wentz, and now Stafford. High-stakes deals coming.

Honestly because I don't have a fight in this whatsoever, but I have never truly heard of David Culley.... I'll have to look him up

Deshaun Watson officially has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, per league sources. He actually did it weeks ago. Their new head-coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking.
