Jay Gruden makes a “Hard Knocks” suggestion, Nick Foles has an update, the Seahawks have a new assistant (to the) kicker and more from today in the NFL.
Jay Gruden knows just the guy for “Hard Knocks”
Namely, his brother. Jon Gruden’s Raiders are now far and away the fan favorite to appear on “Hard Knocks” this summer and Jay Gruden apparently agrees. The Redskins are one of five teams who could be forced to host the popular HBO show this season, but Jay thinks it’s at least a year too early for them.
The #Redskins are eligible for Hard Knocks but Jay Gruden thinks HBO would be crazy not to choose his brother.
Gruden: They can do us next year
Reporter: Not if you make the playoffs
Gruden: If we don't make the playoffs, I probably won’t be here anywaypic.twitter.com/hW1lNsumr8

Terrelle Pryor to Jacksonville
The Jaguars are Pryor’s fourth team since his 1,000-yard 2016 with the Browns. He appeared in 17 games in 2017 and 2018 with the Redskins, Jets and Bills. He totaled 492 yards (28.9 yards per game).

Ian Rapoport explained the connection that may have contributed to the deal.
The #Jaguars are expected to sign veteran WR Terrelle Pryor, source said. He worked out yesterday & the team quickly offered. The deal should be done today, with Pryor getting another chance to make his mark. He spent time with Jax OC John DeFilippo when both were in Cleveland.
