Evaluating QBs & determining QB draft position is a completely different animal from any other position. Nature & value of QBs dictate that.— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) February 11, 2014
This was mentioned earlier on ESPN NFL Insiders show, but #Bears have hired martial arts expert Joe Kim as a skill development coach.

Asked a personnel exec for some over/unders on Clowney at the combine-- size-6'6, weight-270, 40 time- 4.50, VJ-37. Freaky stuff!— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) February 12, 2014
The #Seahawks averaged 8 penalties per game in 2013, the most in the #NFL

I have a great deal of respect for Derek Jeter, who always treated me well. Class act. He even offered me a bowl of cereal once in Minnesota— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) February 12, 2014
And he refuses to rest his starters in the final regular-season game to preapre for the playoffs RT @damienwoody Father Time is undefeated.

Always remember this from Parcells: When you start talking about retirement, you've already retired. #Jeter— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) February 12, 2014
When team releases vets, as @Saints did today, not an impulsive thing. Likely planned on 2013 being their last season for a while.

Here's an incredible stat: The 4 players the Saints let go today -- Smith, Vilma, Greer, Harper -- started a total of 352 games for the team— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 12, 2014

The argument that college players don't own their number is misguided. Schools order #'s with apparel maker based on current star player

There isn't that much $ in jersey royalties. If A&M split with Manziel he probably would have made $10K-$15K— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) February 13, 2014
If schools split jersey royalties with star players based on their # sales, less than 10 players a year would make $5K

Depends what year you bought it RT @andrewhth I own a #1 Michigan football jersey, so who should have been paid to wear that one?

I believe that it was @JoshNorris who said that at this point, tight ends just need to be adequate and willing in blocking. I wholly agree.— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) February 13, 2014
We'll hear a lot about the tight ends in this year's draft and no general consensus on them because the top guys are different players.

Liked how Mike Pettine told reporters today that he moved within 'walking distance' of the Browns facility. Think he's a keeper.— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) February 14, 2014

I think we now have the first item on the NFL Spring Meetings agenda: Workplace Standards, Respect and Anti-Harassment.— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) February 14, 2014
They can, and they will. RT @mjsayler Can NFL office mandate standards, or is it left up to each team to decide and implement?

Lawyer for @68INCOGNITO disputes facts of Wells Report. Didn't think he would come out and say "Yup, that sounds about right!"..— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) February 14, 2014
Top NFL earners in 2013 -- Aaron Rodgers: $40 million; Roger Goodell: $44 million.

Not surprised by Goodell compensation. Revenues approaching $10B, ten-year favorable CBA, record TV deals, paid by billionaires...— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) February 14, 2014
His lawyer (Cornwell) and De Smith do not get along. RT @NFLxyz Why do you think Martin cooperated with Wells but not NFLPA?

Blame it on the team. RT @Gbnf4life how will the NFLPA handle any conflict of interest with martin & incognito?

Joe Philbin is a dead coach walking in 2014. Not sure anything short of a playoff win would keep his job beyond this year.

In 2012, Roger Goodell was paid $44.1M. The head of the NFL Network was paid $26.1M. The NFL's lead counsel was paid $7.8M
