Camp whispers, beat-writer tea leaves and things a coordinator said with his eyes. Sourced where we can source it, flagged where we cannot.
He said the deal had to be done by camp. Camp came. He reported anyway, on exactly the terms he said he wanted to avoid, and Tampa handed him a reworked year instead of the extension. Folks, this is what declining to use your leverage buys you.
Klint Kubiak volunteered that a Day 1 starter is not necessarily a Week 17 starter. Fernando Mendoza took second-team reps for the first time. Then the rookie threw a would-be pick six. Folks, all three of those things are true at once.
Fernando Mendoza is signed, healthy and on the roster. Kirk Cousins is taking the first-team reps. Veterans report tomorrow and Las Vegas is already telling on itself.
Deshaun Watson is healthy. Shedeur Sanders got real spring reps. Todd Monken wanted a starter named before camp and did not get one. Friends, that is not a good sign, and I say that as a man who has never had a good sign.
They wrote rules to stop holdouts, so agents invented showing up to the building and refusing to go outside. Folks, that is not a labor tactic. That is my uncle at a family reunion.
