Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is retiring from the NFL after 17 seasons in the league, according to multiple reports.

Fitzpatrick, 39, was the ultimate journeyman quarterback having played for nine NFL teams: Rams, Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans, Jets, Buccaneers, Dolphins, and Washington Football Team. He threw for 34,990 yards with 223 touchdown passes and 169 interceptions resulting in an 82.3 career passer rating.

Oh man. No more Fitzmagic to look forward to

You never knew what you were going to get game to game but he was entertaining.

The Rams have re-worked Aaron Donald's contract to make him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.

Donald's new deal will reportedly pay him $95 million through 2024. It's a five-year deal with three functional years.

Aaron Donald will end up as a Rams lifer.

The Deshaun Watson lawsuit number is now 24.

Makes sense. Best player in the league, and has been for about five years.

If you're willing to spend a bunch of cash you can kick the can down the road

Baker Mayfield traded to Carolina from the Browns for a conditional 5th-round pick in 2024.

He had a salary of $18 million due this season and the Browns have agreed to pay $10.5 million of that.

Carolina plays Cleveland in Week 1

Baker taking a pay cut too so only $5m cost to the Panthers.

Probably the best all parties could have hoped for given the circumstances.

Apparently, Sam Darnold will remain at the Panthers too.

Kyler Murray has gotten his contract extension of 5 yrs/ $230 million with $160 million guaranteed which I'm sorry is utter madness.
