NFL’s funding rule isn’t mandatory; did the Browns make escrow payment for Deshaun Watson deal?
In the immediate aftermath of last year’s fully-guaranteed $230 million Deshaun Watson deal in Cleveland, we reported that the NFL’s funding rule requires the Browns to place $160 million into escrow by March 31, 2023.
So March 31, 2023 has come and gone. Did the Browns place $160 million into escrow before the supposed deadline?

Darius Slay: I was almost a Baltimore Raven
During the opening week of free agency, the Eagles gave cornerback Darius Slay permission to seek a trade, then planned to release Slay, before agreeing on a new two-year contract that kept Slay in Philadelphia. Slay now says that during that process, he almost went to Baltimore.
On his Big Play Slay podcast, Slay explained that the Ravens were offering him a contract he was satisfied with, but Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman ultimately convinced Slay to stay.

Report: Odell Beckham, Jr. is thought to now be looking for $15 million on a one-year deal
He’d previously been seeking $20 million per year. There were no takers, and OBJ bristled 15 days ago at the notion he wants $20 million — while also complaining that no one had offered more than $4 million.
Given the current market at the position, he was right to initially be looking for $20 million. But with no one wiling to make that commitment until he proves himself healthy and capable, he needs to lower his sights.
Cimini suggests that a deal in the range of $10 million to $12 million plus incentives “seems more likely.” However, there’s no reason to think there’s an offer like that on the table.

Kenny Pickett- I'm expecting a big jump in Year Two - ProFootballTalk
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said last week that he’s excited about how much he believes quarterback Kenny Pickett can grow in his second season with the team and Pickett didn’t take much time off before getting to work on doing that growth.
Pickett said that he took about a week off after the end of the Steelers season and then resumed training because he felt he “wasn’t acting myself” without it. He worked out with teammates last month to get a jump start on the offseason program and continue the progress he felt he made over the course of his rookie season.

Report- Ravens offer Odell Beckham Jr. a contract - ProFootballTalk
The question is: How much is the offer?
A report Sunday indicated Beckham is seeking a one-year, $15 million deal, down from the $20 million he originally was believed to want. Two weeks ago, Beckham complained that the best offer was $4 million.
The Jets and possibly the Rams remain teams in the running for Beckham.
He became a free agent more than a year ago, but after missing all of last season with rehabbing from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, 2022, no one has been willing to meet his asking price . . . whatever that is.
