Drake London News
Tuesday, February 10, 2:00 PM
The Athletic's Josh Kendall writes that if new Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham's proactive approach carries over from Chicago, wide receiver Drake London "could get a new deal this offseason." London signed a four-year, $21.53 million deal in May of 2022, and the Falcons exercised a $16.82 million team option for the 2026 season in April of last year. A long-term extension makes sense for the 24-year-old, who established himself as one of the league's top wideouts over the last two seasons by catching 168 of his 270 targets for 2,190 yards and 16 touchdowns in 29 games. Kendall believes that London likely sees himself as the type of player who should make at least $30 million annually. Atlanta might view him more in the $25 million-per-year range, but either way, he's key to the Falcons' future.

Brian Thomas Jr. News
Wednesday, March 11, 8:21 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars do not appear to be shopping wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. "by any means," according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. There is "definite interest" around the league in Thomas, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation, but some teams thought to be previously interested have moved on to other options because the Jags don't seem to be in a rush to trade Thomas. The widely held belief across league circles is that the Jaguars have an "extremely high" asking price for Thomas and "do not see any reason to budge." The Buffalo Bills entered the offseason "extremely high" on the idea of trading for Thomas, but their acquisition of DJ Moore suggests they are out on Thomas. Teams believe Jacksonville's price for Thomas is "at least one premium pick." The former LSU star might have trouble reaching the heights of his rookie season again (87-1,282-10 line) with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington around, but a rebound from last year's 48-707-2 line is possible if he stays with the Jags heading into his third NFL season.
