I submitted my letter of resignation to The Athletic. Everything I have to say about it is below.

The NFL informed its teams about when they could expect to see replacement officials visiting facilities if a deal is not reached by next month, when the current CBA with the NFL Referees Association expires:

John Harbaugh on Dexter Lawrence: “We’ll find out. I think the prospects are going to be high. Speaking for the Giants, we want Dexter here. And I believe Dexter wants to be here.”

Says he’s not spoken to Lawrence lately.

[Joe Person @josephperson]

Most thought the Panthers would draft defense at 8 last yr. It was a reasonable assumption. But Dan Morgan was high on Tetairoa McMillan early and never wavered.
It helped that Bryce Young also liked him.

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza is scheduled to visit with the Raiders today.

It’s the fourth touchpoint between Las Vegas and the presumptive No. 1 pick, who met during the combine, once virtually and after his pro day last week.

In texting with multiple league sources since Dexter Lawrence’s trade request was made public, expect the calls to only increase regarding the availability of the 28-year-old.

Teams were already interested in dealing for the Giants' DT prior to last season’s trade deadline.

Giants DT Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade, sources tell The Athletic. The three-time Pro Bowler will not attend the team’s offseason workouts.

@AdamSchefter was on it.

News: I’m joining @TheAthletic as a staff writer covering the Raiders.

Working for The Athletic was a career goal, and earning this opportunity is surreal. Thank you to all who helped make this dream a reality.

My first day is Monday. Raider Nation, I can’t wait to get to work!

At the league meetings in Phoenix, several high-ranking sources believed the draft picks rule proposal was a test balloon - and one that more teams than publicly shared are interested in: https://t.co/bFngeGOMrg

[Dianna Russini @DMRussini]

Kirk Cousins’ deal pays him $20 million fully guaranteed for playing in 2026, with $10 million coming next March in the form of a roster bonus that contains no offset language, per source.

The contract contains a built-in two-year, $80 million option.

[Dianna Russini @DMRussini]

The Raiders have added more experience to their QB room, agreeing to terms with former Falcon Kirk Cousins.

[Nick Kosmider @NickKosmider]

Aaron Rodgers is not coming to Denver for a visit.

When the Broncos take the field to start OTAs, they will be quarterbacked by Bo Nix.

Carry on.

[Dianna Russini @DMRussini]

Cousins had interest from several teams, including the Cardinals, Rams, and Packers.

[Dianna Russini @DMRussini]

Expect the Las Vegas Raiders to show interest in Kirk Cousins as they look for a veteran QB addition to help develop presumptive No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.
