As recently mentioned, the NFL gambling policy was seemingly written by lawyers for lawyers. The document is not particularly easy for a non-lawyer to understand. At least one team has taken the information and tried to re-work it into something the players (and the rest of the organization) can better comprehend. That was the message […]
The Dolphins parted ways with cornerback Byron Jones some time ago, but they haven’t realized the financial implications of that move yet. That will change on Thursday.

He hopes to make the same impact with the Rams […]
