Drew Brees apologized for the public backlash, not for his actual stance on kneeling
Drew Brees apologized for the backlash like he apologized because he pissed off America. Drew Brees never said, 'I apologize for my stance.' He basically went to bed last night and couldn't sleep.

And hopefully he learns it's not going to be as easy as sending an apology because this is the same stance he had in 2016.

The quarterbacks for Jacksonville, Miami, Philadelphia, and Arizona are the highest-paid players on their teams but are not the best players
Jacksonville, Miami, Philadelphia, Arizona—you know what those four teams have in common? The quarterback is the highest paid player on the team, but he's not the best player. ... when you have that dynamic... there's always something when the guy making the most money is not the best player.
This will be AJ Brown's last season with the Philadelphia Eagles
This is my gut feeling. I think this is AJ Brown's last season in Philadelphia. I think regardless of whether they win the championship or not, I think they're gonna move on from him. And Howie Roseman will continue to do what he's done masterfully, which is rebuild this team.
