Bradbury is 31 years old in a couple weeks, has had an ok career honestly. Overdrafted a bit probably, but been a starting center his whole career. He's no superstar and has his limitations and it probably appears his time as a starter is over.

It will be interesting to see what the Bears do. What if Jones gets hurt? Right now their only other center is a rookie UDFA. Is having a competent, experienced starter as a backup worth more than whatever late-round pick you can get for him?

ESPN sources: The Broncos and Sean Payton have reached agreement on a new five-year contract.

F Sean Payton and Nick Swardson agrees.

Short answer - Yes. He is more valuable as a backup.

Ruggs, a 2020 first-round draft pick and Raiders wide receiver, drove his sports car at speeds up to 156 mph in the city on Nov. 2, 2021, and slammed into a vehicle, killing driver Tina Tintor and her dog, Max. Tintor was 23.

Prosecutors at the time said his blood alcohol level taken within the required two hours after the crash was 0.16%. Before the crash, he was at TopGolf, a sports entertainment venue in Las Vegas, according to prosecutors.

23 years old, horrifically sad...

I knew it wasnt going to be quick and the timeline the Packer org. put out recently was laughable....the first 2 years of this guy's career as a Packer are going to be mixed.....

BREAKING: Packers star DE Micah Parsons, who’s still recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in mid-December, is expected to miss half the season, according to his brother Terrence Parsons Jr.

In response to a report stating that Parsons would miss “upwards of half the season”, Terrence Parsons wrote, “they weren’t tryna listen.”

Terrence Parsons also clarified that his brother is likely to make his season debut in Week 8.

The initial expectation was that Parsons would miss the first four games, but it’s looking like he’ll be out longer.

If you’re asking “which was the worse knee injury?”:

• Darrisaw’s was likely the more severe / more complicated injury

  • ACL + MCL is generally a bigger deal than an isolated ACL tear

  • multi-ligament injuries can mean more rehab complexity and sometimes a slower or less straightforward return

• Parsons’ was still a major injury

  • a torn ACL alone is obviously serious and season-ending

  • but based on the public reporting I found, it doesn’t look like it was described the same way Darrisaw’s was

Short version

• Parsons: serious ACL tear

• Darrisaw: more serious ACL + MCL tear

My expectation for “year 1 back”

1) Who likely returns to play sooner relative to the injury?

Darrisaw actually came back pretty fast relative to the date of injury — roughly the classic 9–10 month window. Parsons is on a similar clock from surgery, just shifted later on the calendar because his injury happened in mid-December 2025.

So in pure calendar terms:

• Darrisaw: back by training camp / early 2025 season activity

• Parsons: likely misses the start of 2026 and returns in-season, probably October-ish

2) Who do I trust more to look like himself quickly once active?

Parsons.

Why:

Parsons’ injury profile looks a bit more favorable than Darrisaw’s

• Darrisaw’s was ACL + MCL, which is usually a bigger rehab challenge than an ACL with a minor meniscus cleanup.

• Parsons’ additional meniscus work matters, but it still does not sound like the same level of ligament complexity as Darrisaw’s reported ACL/MCL combo.

Parsons’ position is more forgiving for a managed ramp-up

For an elite pass rusher:

• you can limit snap count

• use him in more obvious pass-rush situations early

• keep his workload targeted

For a left tackle like Darrisaw:

• every snap asks for anchor strength, lateral recovery, knee bend, power, balance, and trust in the knee

• there’s less room to “hide” him if he’s at 85–90%

That’s a big reason I’d expect Darrisaw’s first season back to be bumpier than Parsons’ first stretch back.

Maybe it shouldn't matter...but, it likely will at some level:

"J.J. McCarthy's NFL and college merchandise remains highly sought-after, with his official gear driving notable sales. In his rookie season, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback made headlines by generating a massive $4 million in jersey and licensing sales through the NFLPA, making it one of the most successful rookie sales campaigns in recent years"

So this goes down in Feb and he gets to turn himself in in June? 🤦‍♂️ Until Hillsborough County shows otherwise, I'm waiting for this to go like James Pierce Jr. and Josh Jacobs: Abribecadabra and "POOF" everything vanishes 🙄

Less cynically, the fact that 2 of his accomplices have already pled guilty and will likely be testifying against him just might result in actual consequences 😏 By 2028 🙄

Now I'm curious about the Lions draft. The crime occurred 2 1/2 months before the draft. You'd think the Lions would have heard about the investigation. Yet the only CB in their draft class was Keith Abney taken at #157. A great value but if they knew this was coming wouldn't they have taken someone earlier? Seems like the Lions were blindsided either by the investigation or by Hillsborough County being serious.
