    Jordan Mailata getting some high praise.

    Mailata has a good chance to make the 53 man squad now, which I didn't think was possible when I heard about him. If the Eagles pop him on the practice squad, there's a good chance some other team claims him.

    If he makes the squad and sticks for the season, he'd make a cool $750,000(NZD) this year. That's peanuts for football, but it's a lot more than he'd of gotten if he stayed in league. If he plays out his contract, he'd make close to 4 mill.

    One of the Browns' rookies did a parody of Jarvis Landry's speech from the first episode of Hard Knocks.

    @dice Second biggest news is Browns new signing Mychal Kendricks, who won the Superbowl last season with the Eagles, has been charged with insider trading.

    that is the least expected NFL headline of all time.

    @dice The Browns won't. I think they saw him as one of their starting outside linebackers.

    I used to love using him in Madden as he always had ridiculous speed for a linebacker.

    By the way Sneak the NFL Fantasy Draft pick generator seems to love you as it's given you Pick 1 for the draft on Sunday. This annoys me even more because it gave me pick 2...

    Mailata is having another good game. He's mostly bullying these pass rushers.

    His pre-season is honestly better than Hayne's pre-season. Left tackle is such a hard position.

    Big call.

    Even though he's playing against back-ups, his level of play is unreal for how little experience he has. He looked like the best player on the field today.

    @dice The same scouts who "found" him were holding try-out camps this week in Auckland with former league & union players.

    @sneakdefreak Yeah, they held open combines for anyone aged 21 - 25 out here.

    I hope they find someone useful, but from the guys I saw on TV doing it, it didn't look too promising.

    There was this one guy who looked about 50kg doing the drills with shades on.:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

    The Jets probably have the weakest pass rush in the NFL though (definitely if you just look at the outside pass rush), but still good to see him doing well and he can only perform against what's in front of him.

    Teddy Bridgewater has gone to back up Drew Brees at the Saints, meaning Sam Darnold at the Jets is almost certain to be the youngest ever opening week QB. Jets have 3 games in 11 days to open the season so will be a baptism of fire for the 21 year old.

    Looks like the only one of the five first round QBs that will be starting though - Mayfield and Jackson clearly behind the starters, likewise with Rosen but who knows if Bradford will be fit. Josh Allen is a slim chance to start.

    Teams are settling on their 53-man rosters for the season. No big names cut yet (only player I have heard of before is RB Charles Sim from the Bucs)

    Cuts tracker: NFL teams finalize 53-player rosters

    Cuts tracker: NFL teams finalize 53-player rosters

    The NFL preseason is over. The season is less than a week away from kicking off -- and that means it's time for teams to trim their rosters to 53 players before Saturday's roster deadline.

    Khalil Mack to the bears for a package that includes 2 first round picks. The bears must be extremely confident that Trubitsky is their franchise QB.

    49ers big $ offseason signing running back Jerrick McKinnon has torn his ACL and is out for the season. Big blow.

    @cyclops That's a big balls move by the Bears. Not only did they have to give up two 1st rounders, they also had to pay Mack 141 mill on top of it.

    @cyclops If the Bears suck this season and next than the Raiders win the trade easily but that's a tough move by the Raiders (they even sent a second round pick to the Bears in the trade).
