Lions use franchise tag on DE Ezekiel Ansah

-
The Detroit Lions used their franchise tag on Defensive End, Ezekiel Ansah. From what I understand, the Lions are using their tag on him is because he proved to be one of the best Edge Rushers in 2017. The Lions are paying Ansah $17.5 million for 2018.

NFL COULD change Defensive PI to a 15-yard penalty

-
The National Football League COULD change the Defensive Pass Interference penalty to only a 15-yard penalty. If they actually changed the rule, it would be a minor let down for offensive teams that like to draw contact. I agree and disagree with their try. I agree because I think offenses are getting some of their yards without EARNING the yards. I disagree because this isn't a very necessary time to make a proposal to change the rule. With all of the "Catch Rule" drama, the NFL should deal with that first. For more info visit:  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000917735/article/nfl-could-change-defensive-pi-to-15yard-penalty

Seahawks DE Michael Bennett traded to Eagles

-
 Seattle Seahawks Defensive End Michael Bennett to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles got Bennett and a seventh-round pick, and the Seahawks got Wide Receiver Marcus Johnson and a 5th-round pick. If I were the Seahawks I wouldn't have made this trade. Because Michael Bennet is a REALLY good player, and Marcus Johnson, he isn't that good. So the Seahawks should have AT LEAST gotten a first or second-round pick instead of a 5th rounder. But I'm not the Seahawks owner, he probably had something else in mind.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles contract extended to 2020

-
 The Jacksonville Jaguars gave QB Blake Bortles an extension of 3-years worth $54 million. Bortles helped the Jags go from a losing season to an AFC Championship Game appearance. I think the Jags made the right move. Because Bortles is a good inside the pocket thrower but he can run when he has to. With one player released (Chris Ivory) this offseason, Bortles wasn't 100% sure about getting his contract extended.  I also agree with his salary and the length of his contract. $54 million is the right amount of money for a player like Bortles. Bortles also (in the next 3 years that he has) can take the Jaguars into the playoffs again and possibly take them into the Super Bowl. And I think 3 years is enough to develop a relationship with his teammates and coaches. That will allow him to know what moves the players will make and what calls the coaches will make.
