Two Colts' Stars Named to NFL.com's 'Top 25 NFL Free Agents in ... (Stampede Blue)

The Colts have a top prospective free agent on each of their lines with still some time ahead of the 2023 offseason.

Pass rushers are held at a premium in today’s passing league, and the Colts were pretty fortunate to have a found an elite one again by landing Ngakoue this offseason. He’s a ‘lead by example’ leader in their locker room and franchise cornerstone. Rest assured, Nelson will become the highest paid offensive guard in NFL history one way or the other (if not by the Colts ultimately, another NFL team)—but it could be a situation where the Colts elect for the franchise tag over inking him to a long-term mega-deal (if an extension isn’t already reached still yet this offseason)—should injuries arise again.

Travon Walker flashes dominant traits in his NFL debut (NFL Spin Zone)

Jacksonville Jaguars top pick Travon Walker wasted no time showing off his outstanding traits in his NFL debut against the Raiders.

"It was exciting," he said. "It was good to be back. It was good." "Other than that, I think it was just bumps and bruise "They were engaged," he said. We have to be able to run the football and we have to be able to stop the run. "I challenged them in this game to really be a set of eyes for the young players who were playing. The guys stayed loose in the locker room and stayed hydrated, so it didn't change anything or impact what we did." "I thought he did some really good things," Pederson said. "We had great communication with the league and just made the necessary adjustments. Pederson said he liked what he saw from the starters who were held out of the game. He's going to be fun to watch, I think, all season."

Why Deshaun Watson Could Start the NFL Season on the Field ... (The Wall Street Journal)

As Watson's six-game suspension goes to an appeal, there are numerous scenarios for how this season could play out for the embattled quarterback.

The two sides could always end the drama themselves with a last-minute settlement. There are also numerous middle grounds, pending the decision from the appeals officer. Watson may be forced to sit out the entire season, as the league initially wanted, and face potential fines.

NFL's appeal of Deshaun Watson suspension takes big step forward ... (CBSSports.com)

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! After waiting 172 days, we finally got an NFL game on Thursday night and it was amazing.

The Steelerswide receiver was looking for an extension and he finally got it on Thursday when he agreed to terms on a deal that will add two years to his current contract. "It's a little bit abnormal for a quarterback, some of this stuff is things that MLB pitchers deal with, so it is something that we're kind of learning about on the fly and his feedback." At this point, it makes sense that the Rams aren't overly concerned -- because Stafford has plenty of time to heal -- but I would be at least somewhat concerned if I were them. If there's no settlement and Watson's suspension ends up getting extended by the NFL, there's a very real chance that this case could end up in federal court, but we won't cross that bridge until we get to it. "It is a tricky deal and you want to make sure that you're getting with the right people that are experts in this field," McVay said. The Browns play their first preseason gamenext week and you have to think that the league would like to have the appeals process finished by then. Watson's camp could use the response to point out why the NFL's appeal is flawed and they could also use it to argue that their client should only serve six games because that was a punishment that an independent disciplinary officer came up with. Also, and probably more importantly, this isn't the first time Harvey has been designated to handle a decision like this for the league. - What's next for Watson. The quarterback's legal team has until the end of today to file a response to the NFL's appeal. The fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame Game is usually unwatchable due to the fact that most NFL fans have never heard of any players on the field and it becomes even harder to watch when it's being played at midnight. This was a homecoming game for McDaniels -- he was raised in Canton, Ohio -- and there was no way he was going to lose. The Jaguars looked like the Jaguars. The Jaguars are the Jaguars because they regularly make embarrassing mistakes and we saw a few of those on Thursday night.

Deshaun Watson suspension: NFL appoints former NJ Attorney ... (Fox News)

The NFL has designated former New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey to oversee the league's appeal of the Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson after he was ...

The CBA affords the NFL or NFLPA the right to appeal the discipline imposed by the Disciplinary Officer," a league spokesperson said in a statement. "Every victim of sexual assault is watching Roger Goodell and the NFL right now. It’s never too late to do the right thing," he said during a news conference. "He has also served as a federal prosecutor. Judge Robinson found that Mr. Watson violated the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy on multiple occasions and suspended him for six games. "Mr. Harvey served as the Attorney General of New Jersey and is now a partner at the Patterson Belknap firm in New York," the statement read.

Tony Buzbee vaguely hints at potential litigation against the NFL (NBC Sports - NFL)

During his Thursday press conference that primarily focused on criticizing the NFL for its handling of the discipline of Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson ...

Whether he intends to proceed with one or more lawsuits or whether he simply hopes to pressure the league to drop the hammer on Watson remains to be seen. Buzbee could try to argue that the league is vicariously liable for Watson because he held himself out as an NFL quarterback in order to pursue his alleged habit/fetish of arranging massages that he then tried to convert to sexual encounters. The Texans arguably knew or should have known that Watson was engaged in misconduct, and arguably failed to put a stop to it.
