• Nothing can become official until the new league year starts at 4:00PM ET on Wednesday.

• Danny Amendola is now a Lion.
  • Miami cut him Friday, which allowed him to sign before the new league year starts.
  • He rejoins former Patriots coach Matt Patricia as a “locker room” guy.

• Tampa is trading DeSean Jackson to the Eagles.
  • Ape is two-for-two, having the right take on this as well:

Eagles should do right by DeSean Jackson and give him a “sorry Chip Kelly was racist” plaque before his first game back
