-- LeVeon Bell Watch --
Mon May 21, 2018 --from FFMastermind.com
The Post Gazette reports RB LeVeon Bell has not signed his $14.544 million franchise tender yet so for the second straight year, he likely again will not attend Pittsburgh Steelers spring drills, a precursor to his expected absence for the entire preseason if he does not come to terms on a multi-year contract. He has even threatened to hold out into the season this time, although he did back off that later. He stayed away last year until six days before the regular season opener after he finally signed his $12.12 million franchise tag. There's little reason to believe he won't follow suit again if no long-term deal is reached. GM Kevin Colbert has taken an optimistic approach that the sides will come to terms, the same outlook he had last year right up until the deadline when no deal was reached.

-- Aaron Rodgers Offers Advice to DeShaun Watson --
Sat May 19, 2018 --from FFMastermind.com
NBC Sports reports Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson (torn ACL) soon could be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The man generally regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL likes what he has seen. "He did some amazing things," QB Aaron Rodgers recently said regarding Watson. "Obviously he's extremely gifted athletically and can throw all over the field. That gives him a lot of different weapons to use in that offense." So what advice could Watson use as he prepares for the second year of his career? "As he'll find out, the second year is maybe the toughest year for a quarterback because you have an entire offseason for teams - especially teams in your division - to study you," Rodgers said. "It makes things a little harder. I played pretty decent my first year and came back in '09 and was seeing some different looks because there's a lot more film on you."

-- Eagles to Use Darren Sproles a Lot --
Sat May 19, 2018 --from FFMastermind.com
NJ.com reports Philadelphia Eagles HC Doug Pederson feels RB Darren Sproles (torn ACL) is a perfect fit in his offense, and that likely won't change next season even if the veteran is coming off of a torn ACL. Sproles was the team's starting running back last season prior to going down, and was their main back in both their hurry up offense and their third-down packages. The Eagles are not bringing him back for a feel-good story, they are bringing him back because they plan on using him. That could change slightly with the emergence of RB Corey Clement last season, but it would not be surprising at all to see Sproles near the top, if not at the top, of snaps on the field for the running backs next season.

-- Ballard Speaks on Andrew Luck --
Fri May 18, 2018 --from FFMastermind.com
NBC Sports reports Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard says he understands that there's "still going to be doubt" about QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) until he steps on the field for the first week of the 2018 season but that's not stopping him from looking ahead to life with Luck back in the lineup. Ballard took questions from the crowd at a fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Zionsville on Thursday and some of them had to do with Luck's status after missing all of last season with a right shoulder injury. Ballard said Luck is the healthiest that he's been since Ballard was in Indianapolis and pointed to something else on his shoulder that's developed over the last couple of years as a reason for optimism about what's to come. "I think it's a great thing when you have a great player with a chip [on his shoulder] - and we've got one," Ballard said, via the team's website. "And that's going to be fun for all of us."

"It was all a money scheme," Ennis said. "I didn't want to get this far in the news. It was about money."
