Given that top 5 QB ranking that he recently did, he's one to talk about that.

At least new logo on the helmet now makes sense.
Wilson was offered to the Browns for the #1 overall pick in 2018.

I find this hard to believe. Wilson is basically their whole team. Would they have taken Mayfield then? I find the Myles Garrett rumor to be more believable than this.

Why does this remind me of OJ Simpson raiding a room with a gun in Las Vegas? Then ending up in jail for several years!

Worst... Idea... Ever.
BREAKING: NFL owners will vote next week on a resolution that would improve a team's draft position if it hires a person of color as head coach or general manager, per sources. Currently there are only 2 black GMs & 4 HCs of color, matching 17-year low https://t.co/867umaUe4o

click bait in a sense - would affect 3rd and 4th round picks by a maximum of 16 spots (if both GM and HC were hired)
there's also this on the resolution table:
Under the proposed resolution, clubs would be prohibited from the end of the regular season to March 1 from denying an assistant coach the opportunity to interview with a new team for a "bona fide" coordinator position on offense, defense or special teams. Any dispute about the legitimacy of the position would be heard by the commissioner, and his determination would be "final, binding and not subject to further review."
If a minority assistant left to become a coordinator elsewhere, his former club would receive a fifth-round compensatory pick. And if a person of color leaves to become a head coach or general manager, his previous team would receive a third-round compensatory pick.
basically would help coordinators move around to positions where they feel they can advance better without being blocked
One final provision: Any team that hires a person of color as its quarterbacks coach would receive a compensatory pick at the end of the fourth round if it retains that employee beyond one season. The provision is an attempt to get a more diverse pool of coaches working with quarterbacks, since the trend of late is to hire head coaches with offensive experience -- 24 of the past 33 hires have been from the offensive side of the ball -- and it's considered even more beneficial to have worked with quarterbacks. Currently there are only two African-American QB coaches in Pep Hamilton of the Chargers and Marcus Brady of the Colts.
and this is why they're being proactive - often minority coaches end up on the defensive side of the ball which has become a log-jam with offensive coaches dominating the pool of candidates for HC positions
the headline is pretty "sensational" but honestly i dont see anything particularly crazy in the actual rule changes they are proposing - it's incentivising the increased opportunity for coaches, head coaches and executives from minority backgrounds - but not forcing you to hire them... given the backwards motion away from POC HCs, GMs and other positions of power in the sport this seems like a positive next step to me...

Browns make two front office moves as they have hired 49ers Director of Football R & D as their new VP of Football Operations. Ryan Grigson, the former Colts GM has now been promoted to an undisclosed full time position after being brought on as a Draft Consultant.

His incompetence lead to Andrew Luck's retirement. You would think that a GM who has a QB of Luck's caliber would invest resources into their OL to ensure he doesn't take as many hits as Luck did on a routine basis.
