5 HRS AGO - It has been just over a month since the 2020 NFL Draft concluded, and the Seahawks now have the first member of their eight-player draft class under contract. Fourth-round pick Colby Parkinson and Seattle reached an agreement on a deal, according to the NFL’s transaction wire. As Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times noted, all rookie deals are for four years with total values based on draft position. As always worth noting, all rookies get four-year deals with overall values based on where they were drafted. But the actual signing does have some salary cap implications once the contracts are officially processed and the full contract counts against the cap. https://t.co/3sEAAH1mG1— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) June 2, 2020 Though details of Parkinson’s deal aren’t yet known, for a point of comparison last year’s 133rd selection—where Parkinson was taken in 2020—was Jarrett Stidham. His four-year deal with the Patriots is for $3,156,112 according to Over the Cap. Once Parkinson, and Collapse

We are going to ease this rule up but only because this article itself has politics involved. If this becomes partisan mudslinging or just trashing specific politicians — whether warranted or not — then that’s a no-go.) Last week’s killing of George Floyd by (the since fired and criminally charged) Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has sparked ongoing calls for justice, protests, rioting, vandalism, and looting across the United States. This particular death has led to international outcry and demonsrations, as yet another unarmed black man has succumbed to police brutality, and once again it’s on video for the world to see.

5 DAYS AGO - Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images For the second year in a row, an onside kick alternative has failed to win that 75% support from NFL owners. It was an improvement from last year, but 50% ain’t gonna cut it. The Philadelphia Eagles modified what the Denver Broncos had proposed last year, which is the option to skip the onside kick and instead go for it on 4th and 15 from your own 25. Conversion means the drive continues, while failure means the opposition gets the ball at the spot where the play concluded. A good ol’ fashioned onside kick would not have been eliminated, hence “alternative.” This rule proposal is in clear response to the drastic decline in onside kick recoveries now that changes to the kickoff have thus far made it harder for the kicking team to get the ball back. Even if proposed 4th-and-15 alternative passes today, traditional onside kick would still be allowed. But it’s harder to recover under current rules: 49 of 299 in 2013-17 (16.3%), 12 of 114 in Collapse
