And they ain't done yet. This defense is FRESH!
The #Dolphins are taking Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez at No. 43.
The heartbeat of Texas Tech’s defense, Rodriguez brings elite instincts and playmaking ability, totaling 128 tackles with 7 forced fumbles and 4 INTs last season.
The #Texans are taking Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald at No. 36 after trading up with Las Vegas.
McDonald, viewed by some as the top DT, excels against the run and earned Unanimous All-American honors last year.
Sources: There is a new highest-paid kicker in the NFL, as the #Cowboys and All-Pro Brandon Aubrey have a deal.
Aubrey gets a 4-year, $28M, record-setting extension with $20M guaranteed in a deal negotiated by agents Todd France and AJ Stevens of @AthletesFirst.
Just in: The #Cowboys and All-Pro K Brandon Aubrey have agreed to a 4-year, $28M contract, making him the highest paid K in NFL history, per @AdamSchefter.
Powerful: Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer says he does NOT wear sunglasses around his players to show respect.
"My father taught me as a young coach that coaches do not wear sunglasses. The players have to see your eyes when you coach them."
👏👏👏
Heartbreaking: The Commanders offered Osa Odighizuwa more money last year, but he wanted to stay in Dallas and took less money to do it.
Osa also just built a new house in Dallas.
The NFL is a ruthless business 😔💔
