Join Mike Garafolo and me on NFL Draft Kickoff NFL Network at 1 ET as we set the stage for Day 1 of the draft. Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead will be in studio. Plus, reports from around the country. Let’s Go!

Detroit cop:

“Everyone please use the sidewalk — except 49ers fans, who may roam freely in the street.”

Reunion? The #Cowboys met with old friend and former Pro Bowl RB Zeke Elliott today about a potential return to Dallas, per me and Tom Pelissero. The former NFL rushing champ and his old team don’t have a deal just yet. But they are in talks…

#Lions ’ Penei Sewell’s average of $28m is $3m above the previous top of the market. The 7th pick in 2021 gets rewarded for flourishing into one of the NFL’s top OTs.

Sewell and Amon-Ra St. Brown extended — two more reasons for Detroit to celebrate as it hosts the #NFLDraft .

Sources: #Lions All-Pro OT Penei Sewell has agreed to terms on a four-year, $112 million extension that makes him the new highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL.

The deal, which includes $85 million guaranteed, was done by Justin Schulman and Joe Panos of Athletes First.

We have extended Rashod Bateman through 2026❕

We have exercised the option to extend contract of WR Ja’Marr Chase.

Sources: The #Lions have a deal for one of the top young talents, agreeing on an extension for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. He gets 4 years and more than $120M with $77M guaranteed.

The deal done by @JobyBranion of Vanguard Sports Group makes St. Brown the highest-paid WR in the NFL.

#Utah S Cole Bishop joins me on The Insiders on NFL Network to discuss his zero pre- #NFLDraft visits (and why that’s a good thing), what Eric Weddle has told him as his mentor and why he can’t refuse a nutter butter.

From The Insiders on NFL Network on the #Commanders and #Patriots rebuffing offers to trade out of picks 2 and 3 with just over two days until they’re on the #NFLDraft clock.

The NFL reinstated today Philadelphia’s Isaiah Rodgers, who was suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL’s gambling policy. He may participate in all team activities, effective immediately.

🗣️ One afternoon only! The Insiders returns. Come join us. Now.

Not surprisingly, the #Raiders are among the teams who tested the #Commanders on moving out of 2, even after Washington GM Adam Peters told the media the team planned to stick and pick, sources say.

Always uncertainty over the last 10 picks or so of the first round of the #NFLDraft . Feels like even more so this year. Tom Pelissero’s look at some names that could sneak in.

From the NFL: The league’s review into the #Falcons and #Eagles potential tampering is ongoing and will not conclude this week.

If there are draft picks involved, sounds like it'll be next year's.

The trio continues.

We have signed Mark Donovan, Brett Veach, and Andy Reid to contract extensions.

#49ers GM John Lynch says they’re having “good talks” with WR Brandon Aiyuk and they’re “working through” being a part of the team “for the rest of his career.” Again, there’s been no trade request from Aiyuk. A long-term deal with the team is in play.

#49ers GM John Lynch on Brandon Aiyuk, 'Our wish is he is here for the rest of his career. We are working through that.'

Asked if they received trade calls for Aiyuk, 'Sure. We receive calls for a lot of players.'

🚨 🚨 🚨

Former #Jets starting QB and No. 2 pick Zach Wilson is on the move. Sources say he’s being traded to the #Broncos , hoping for a fresh start.

The deal includes a late-round pick swap (6th for a 7th) and NYJ will pay some of Wilson’s roughly $5.5M salary.
