The NFL reinstated Commanders DE Shaka Toney, who was suspended indefinitely for violating the league’s gambling policy.

Last year’s run of gambling suspensions affected a few teams’ starting lineups, but a handful of depth-level players were banned for at least a year. Five players — including #Commanders DE Shaka Toney — are on the way back https://t.co/PfTsvTrAJE

I’ve been asked if the 49ers hosted the 2021 QB class together pre-draft. (Lance, Jones, Fields, Wilson).
They did not but that was because it was the covid draft year so they weren’t allowed to do top-30 visits. Very possible they would’ve in a normal year.

Belichick used to bring in a dozen draft picks at a time. Niners do group visits too. It’s about efficiency. It’s only a big story here bc it’s QBs. Nobody would blink if they took a bunch of OL/DL to Top Golf.

Here is Bill Belichick explaining why the Patriots would bring in a dozen-ish prospects together pre-draft. Cited efficiency, information-gathering.

Jayden Daniels’ odds are dropping at DraftKings.
He is now just -180 go 2nd after reaching -330 yesterday.
Drake Maye was as high as +270 and is now just +130 at DraftKings. https://t.co/26lygMDxMi

Adam Peters says “we’re real close” to making a QB decision but that he’s a process guy and will run all the way through to next week pic.twitter.com/MjvO2e4xaM

The Washington Commanders are a prime candidate to move back into the first round of the NFL Draft.
They have a lot of extra picks to make a move up to get maybe a left tackle.
I asked Adam Peters about his philosophy when making a trade in the Draft.

#Commanders GM Adam Peters during his pre-draft press conference today:
“Me personally, I don’t want to pick a guy who’s going to start in 3 years in the 1st round. You might be a little more patient in later rounds”
Sounds like a guy who wants a more NFL ready QB prospect pic.twitter.com/EVjDFxlgg5

Adam Peters on Josh Harris’s involvement ahead of the draft: “He’s been extremely supportive. If we’ve needed something, he’s been there to provide for us. But I’d say that’s the extent of it. … He’s been awesome about letting us do what we do.”

This will change when rosters have to be cut down and draft salaries are factored in for the season but right now the top 5 spenders in the NFL average cash spending is $100M higher than the average of the bottom 5 spenders.
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) April 17, 2024
The Browns lead the NFL with $326M followed by the Eagles, 49ers, Texans (!), and Jaguars.
At the bottom are the Cowboys with $189M. The Chargers, Packers, Lions and Raiders are the other four at the bottom.
