- There are three left on the table:
- Robbie Gould – 49ers
- Jadeveon Clowney – Texans
- Grady Jarrett – Falcons

- Gould wants to leave & go to another NFC contender (the Bears), and they want to get something in return.
- SBNation has a pretty good 2019 tag breakdown here, although they haven’t updated it to remove players who have signed or been traded.
- There are three left on the table:
- The Cardinals made the only pick in today’s Supplemental Draft.
- They picked Washington State safety Jalen Thompson in the fifth round.
- Thereby surrendering their 5th rounder in the 2020 Draft.

- As of Tuesday night, Seymour had 2.75 million chips, which was the 35th highest chip total of any player.
- As of my typing this Wednesday afternoon at about 3:30, he’s since dropped to 102nd place & is down to $2.0 million chips.
- You can follow the chip counts here.
