Bruce Allen on the NFL Network report that the Skins are planning as if they won’t have Alex Smith in 2019: "It’s nonsense. Alex is improving." https://t.co/D0oar3hid2

#Redskins Pres Bruce Allen to both @JPFinlayNBCS & @AdamWinkSports says the Alex Smith report by @RapSheet did NOT come from the @Redskins or the doctors. Of course, when given a chance to clarify Smith's future - he didn't say the report was wrong.

After 17 NFL season, Julius Peppers announced his retirement. He finishes fourth all time on the NFL’s sack list, behind Bruce Smith, Reggie White and Kevin Greene - all Hall of Famers.

Of all the great things Julius,Peppers accomplished in his career, perhaps the greatest is this:

In an age where playing a complete 16-game schedule without missing time is an achievement, the 39yo Peppers played in 176 consecutive games to close out his 17-year career.

Terrible news. The Cowboys just announced that longtime QB coach Wade Wilson has passed away.

Wilson was a Cowboys QB from 1995-97. He wound up coaching QBs for the team from 2000-02, and again from 2007-17. Today was his 60th birthday.

Prayers for him and his loved ones.

One piece of news that recently popped up and may be relevant when free agency arrives: Earlier in the fall, the NFL inquired into possible tampering by the #Cowboys regarding #Seahawks S Earl Thomas, sources say. The team cooperated fully, and the league found no wrongdoing.

Fourth and one in the Super Bowl: BEAST MODE ACTIVATED.

Are there other ways to sign things?
