An NFL trade request doesn't really mean anything anymore; it's just the new version of a holdout

What this should teach us more than anything about the NFL is that a trade request doesn't really mean shit anymore. In the NBA I feel like if you request a trade... it's over. In the NFL, that's just the new holdout, right? Is requesting a trade.

Terry McLaurin's 'hold in' only worked because he didn't miss mental reps and stayed in shape

I like to think that Terry is a consummate pro... they were just giving him all the assignments, the playbook, all that stuff he was doing mental reps. He's gonna be in shape.

Trey Hendrickson's contract raise is a win-win for both the player and the Bengals

I think there's a win-win. You get more money for this year. You still get to be a free agent next year and maybe cash in one more time. And the Bengals... don't have to worry about it in the coming years.
