Nothing official yet, but Ian Rapoport says the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign a one-year deal with QB-turned-TE Tim Tebow.

The NFL's all-time leading scorer, Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, Adam Vinatieri, has officially announced his retirement at 48 years old after 24 seasons.
599 regular-season field goals, the most of all-time.
2,673 career points, the most of all-time.
An 83.8% field goal percentage.
Two Super Bowl-winning kicks.

The Bills have reportedly opened up over $7.8 million of salary cap space in 2021 by converting wide receiver Stefon Diggs' base salary into a signing bonus.
Rumors continue to circulate that we may be eying Eagles TE Zach Ertz

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Don't know why the Eagles would give up Zach, he is great at finding ways to get open, hope they are not using the last 2 years to get rid of him when it was the QB not noticing when guys were open that killed us. 

So many times Wentz took a sack when he should have thrown it to Zach.

So tired of all the Aaron Rodgers crap here. Feel the same way I felt about Favre when he was being a diva at the end of his career here. It's been a good run, but it's time to move on. (Unfortunately moving on from Rodgers not going to be as easy as move from Favre due to state of rest of the team now vs then - and yeah, that kind of plays into Rogers complaints, but still it's time).

Yeah I see a new article with nothing more than speculation on what AR is going to do..
I remember that Favre soap opera and yeah there are some similarities..

So the Bills are planning a new open air stadium in OrchardPark. Could be done by 2025. With lease expiring on current building in 2023, playing away from Buffalo for a season or two is possibility. The project is expected to require 3-5 years start to finish. The team still needs to obtain government approvals and funding.
The current stadium has been in use (48 years) for almost as long as I am old (52 years old) I guess it's time..

The NFL just informed clubs that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will FORFEIT and be credited with a loss for playoff seeding.

Colts announced HC Frank Reich has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now in quarantine. Reich was fully vaccinated

The Packers and QB Aaron Rodgers are in the final stages of a reworked deal to bring him back for the 2021 season, source said. It should be official soon. Rodgers had planned to arrive for camp thanks to a thawing over the past few days.
Now, he will.
