Eric DeCosta "hopeful" to get deal done with Lamar Jackson before franchise tag deadline - ProFootballTalk
The clock is ticking on the Ravens and Lamar Jackson as the quarterback approaches unrestricted free agency at the start of the new league year this month.
Of course, no one really expects Jackson to simply hit the open market because the Ravens would presumably use the franchise tag.
At his Combine press conference on Wednesday, General Manager Eric DeCosta said the team has not decided if it would use the exclusive or non-exclusive franchise tag with Jackson. But DeCosta also said, “We’re hopeful that we’ll get a deal done with Lamar before that happens.”
Indianapolis hopes to keep Scouting Combine beyond 2024 - ProFootballTalk
A move to a larger market has seemed inevitable for several years. Although it hasn’t happened, Indy had to submit a bid for the first time, in order to retain the event for 2023 and 2024. After 2024, the Combine will be a free agent, again.
Via WISH-TV, the powers-that-be in Indy are trying to generate more fan involvement in the hopes of fulfilling the league’s goal of making the event bigger.
“As we look to our current bid that was one of our main pieces,” Visit Indy senior communications manager Nate Swick told WISH-TV. “We said, ‘All right, NFL, how do you want to grow this and how can we help you grow this event?’ And so that’s why you’ll see a lot more fan interactions the last couple of years.
Chris Ballard on what it would take to move up to No. 1 in draft- That this is no freaking doubt the guy - ProFootballTalk
The Bears will listen to offers for the No. 1 overall pick. It’s what every team does that has the first selection, especially those that aren’t in the market for a quarterback.
The Colts draft fourth, two spots behind their division rivals in the Texans, who also are in need of a quarterback. So, it’s natural for everyone to wonder whether the Colts will attempt to leap frog Houston.
Colts General Manager Chris Ballard pumped the brakes on speculation of a move up the draft board.
“I know this was coming up, because I know all the speculation out there,” Ballard said. “One, to move up, there’s got to be a guy worthy of it. This is what’s great right now: Everybody has just automatically stamped that you’ve got to move up to one to get it right. I don’t know if I agree with that. I don’t. But that’s going to be the narrative, and that’s OK. . . . But I don’t know if that’s the right course of business. When we meet as a staff and we say, ‘OK, this is what we need to do. This is the guy for the next 10 to 15 years,’ and we think he’s the right guy, sure we’ll do it. But who’s to say we won’t get one at four?”
NFL is "pleased" with ruling in Brian Flores case - ProFootballTalk
Well, maybe there won’t be any appeals of Wednesday’s mixed-bag ruling in the Brian Flores litigation.

Report- Jaguars are expected to use franchise tag on Evan Engram - ProFootballTalk
Tight end Evan Engram said recently that he and the Jaguars have had positive conversations about a new contract, but it doesn’t look like they are going to pay off in a new deal before next Tuesday.
That’s the deadline for the Jaguars to use their franchise tag and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Jaguars are expected to do that in order to keep Engram from hitting the open market. Engram would be in line for a $11.345 million salary under the terms of the tag and the two sides would have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal.

Doug Pederson- Next step for Trevor Lawrence is in the leadership role - ProFootballTalk
When the Scouting Combine took place last year, Doug Pederson had just been hired as the Jaguars head coach and one of the biggest questions the team faced was how quarterback Trevor Lawrence would bounce back from a dismal rookie season amid the Urban Meyer disaster.
It took a little time for things to fall into place, but Lawrence and the Jaguars got into a groove over the final months of the season and advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs. During a press conference at the Scouting Combine this week, Pederson was asked what Lawrence has to do after making a leap in his second NFL season.

Josh McDaniels- We'd love for Josh Jacobs to continue being a Raider - ProFootballTalk
Running back Josh Jacobs has expressed a desire to stay with Las Vegas on a deal that makes sense for him.
The Raiders have also said they’d like to keep Jacobs around for 2023. And they have the tool to do so with the franchise tag if the two parties can’t come to a long-term agreement before March 7 to keep him off the open market.

Dan Campbell- If anyone can get things turned around in Denver, it's Sean Payton - ProFootballTalk
At the Combine this week, Campbell said Payton returning to lead the Broncos did not surprise him.
“I felt like he just needed a breather, he needed a change of scenery. I had a feeling he would be back,” Campbell said in his press conference. “I didn’t know when that was going to be, but I would say this, he looks rejuvenated. He definitely looks rejuvenated.
“So, if anybody can get that thing turned around there it’s him.”
Payton has a tough job in fixing the Broncos, starting with quarterback Russell Wilson. But his extensive experience with crafting strong offenses should at least put Denver in a better position to win more games in 2023.

Chiefs planning conversations with Chris Jones, Frank Clark about contracts - ProFootballTalk
For General Manager Brett Veach, that process will include thinking about options involving defensive tackle Chris Jones and defensive end Frank Clark.
