Josh Rosen gets settled
The Cardinals traded Rosen, the 10th overall pick in 2018, to the Dolphins the day after selecting Kyler Murray first overall. Rosen tweeted about the transition to Miami.
Feels like the first day of school all over again lol

Doug Baldwin plays coy regarding his retirement rumors.
I’ve read all the comments and heard all the theories. This journey through 8 seasons has been an incredible experience and the story is still not done. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens next. But I want to be the first one to say it… (cont)

…John Snow has to die for Khaleesi. He is the rightful heir to the throne but doesn’t want it. His drive is to save humanity. Khaleesi only knows conquest and sacrificing himself for her will teach her true love, thus how she should rule—with love. You heard it here first! #GOT

It’s safe to say Christian McCaffrey was satisfied.
Greatest television episode of all time. Period. No discussion. Thank you @GameOfThrones

ESPN’s Mike Clay piles on the Giants.
Giants just traded for the Night King

Former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz thought it was a poor exposure for the White Walkers.
I’ll tell you one unit that’s grading out poorly tonight … the Night King’s army of soliders to protect him. Low PFF grade

Sebastian Janikowski retires
Janikowski spent 18 years with the Raiders and one with the Seahawks before calling it a career. If nothing else, the former 17th overall pick’s career was a financial success.
Sebastian Janikowski told ESPN that, after 19 seasons, he is retiring from NFL at the age of 41: “It was a good run. I still think of the Super Bowl – it still hurts.” He plans to turn into a cab driver, taking his 3 girls to school. Seabass made more $ than any K in NFL history.

Seahawks punter Michael Dickson was an All-Pro as a rookie and thanked Janikowski for his help.
Enjoy retirement legend. Couldn’t have asked for a better vet to show me the ropes my first year. pic.twitter.com/EfIfOBz8XU

Now that Janikowski is gone, only one player from the 2000 NFL Draft remains.
Incredible stat from @FieldYates: With Sebastian Janikowski retiring, the man whose name was called from this card, as the 2000 Draft’s 199th pick, is now the last active player from that draft to still be playing in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/efo2oxpLcM

Panthers add The Real Deal’s son
Elijah Holyfield, the son of former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, joined the Panthers as an undrafted free agent. Holyfield was just 32 yards shy of being the Georgia Bulldogs’ leading rusher. A power back, he’ll compete to be a change-of-pace option behind Christian McCaffrey.
