J. Phillips - LB

CLE

Browns signed third-round LB Jacob Phillips to a four-year contract.

Phillips (6’3/229) was a two-year starting inside linebacker at LSU who led the SEC in tackles (113) as a junior during the Tigers’ National Championship season. He’s an instinctual player who plugs gaps against the run while remaining in control of his body, but his best trait is his reliable tackling. He finished 5th in PFF’s tackling grade among 460 FBS qualifiers, only missing 5-of-75 potential tackles. He was serviceable in coverage (7.2 YPT allowed) as well, although shiftier NFL players will give him more trouble. Jacobs, a 35th percentile athlete with 4.66 speed, could compete for starting reps on defense but should at least be an asset on special teams given his vision and high-end college production. Phillips just turned 21 years old on draft night.

J. Phillips - LB

CLE

Browns signed third-round LB Jacob Phillips to a four-year contract.

Rookies are signing their contracts later in the offseason than we're used to because of the pandemic. They're now starting to filter in more and more. Phillips (6’3/229) was a two-year starting inside linebacker at LSU who led the SEC in tackles (113) as a junior during the Tigers’ National Championship season. He’s an instinctual player who plugs gaps against the run while remaining in control of his body, but his best trait is his reliable tackling. He finished 5th in PFF’s tackling grade among 460 FBS qualifiers, only missing 5-of-75 potential tackles. He was serviceable in coverage (7.2 YPT allowed) as well, although shiftier NFL players will give him more trouble. Jacobs, a 35th percentile athlete with 4.66 speed, could compete for starting reps on defense but should at least be an asset on special teams given his vision and high-end college production. He will barely be 21 years old on draft night.

D. Swift - RB

DET

Lions second-round RB D'Andre Swift suggested he's still unsure what his role will be.

"I can't even give you my role," Swift said. "Whatever role they have for me, I just gotta make sure I'm in the best shape and know all of the plays so I'm ready to take it on full force. But I'm not going in there looking to do anything, just doing what I've been doing." Having missed 14 of a possible 32 games since being drafted as Detroit's No. 43 overall pick in 2018, Kerryon Johnson's monopoly as the team's two-down grinder is threatened by the sheer presence of Swift out the gates. The Georgia product only dropped three targets while averaging 9.1 yards per reception on 73 career catches at the collegiate level, inevitably pinning him as the runner with receiving upside among this backfield. For what it's worth, Swift is currently being drafted four rounds ahead of Johnson in high-stakes fantasy leagues.

C. Jones - DL

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Chiefs and unsigned franchise player DT Chris Jones have begun contract negotiations.

"They've at least started negotiating," Fowler confirmed. "It's just unclear how far [the Chiefs are] willing to go at this point." Jones would pocket $16.126 million on the franchise tag in 2020 but has openly stated that he "won't play" without a long-term deal ranging from $20 million-plus annually; for reference, Aaron Donald and DeForest Buckner are the only interior defenders scheduled to collect that amount this season. With Patrick Mahomes' extension now in the past, it's still possible both sides meet in the middle prior to the July 15 deadline.

S. Michel - RB

ESPN's Mike Reiss reports Patriots RB Sony Michel (foot) has been rehabbing at the team's facilities for several weeks.

It's the first we've heard of Michel's recovery since he underwent foot surgery in June. He recently posted a photo on Instagram without a walking boot on, suggesting he's been rehabbing in Foxborough without it. His ADP has dipped to the mid-ninth round as the overall RB42 the past month, which is a slight value if healthy for the New England's season opener. Michel remains in line for 200 carries if upright for a full 16 games.

B. Dupree - LB

PIT

Franchise-tagged Bud Dupree filed a grievance to be classified as a defensive end rather than linebacker.

It's the same thing Bucs franchised edge rusher Shaq Barrett is doing in Tampa Bay. The defensive end tag is worth about $2 million more than the $15.828 million linebacker version. Ravens franchise edge rusher Matt Judon split the difference with Baltimore and will make over $16 million this season. Dupree is coming off a career-high 11.5 sacks.

S. Barrett - LB

Franchise-tagged Shaq Barrett filed a grievance to be classified as a defensive end rather than linebacker.

The difference is roughly $2 million more than the value of his current $15.828 million tag as a linebacker. Last season's sacks leader with 19.5 could travel a similar path as Ravens franchised edge rusher Matt Judon, who agreed to split the difference with Baltimore at over $16 million.

A. Brown - WR

ESPN's Field Yates reports the Patriots have reached settlements in their Antonio Brown and Aaron Hernandez grievances.

The settlements recoup the Pats $4 million in salary cap space from Brown and $2.55 million from Hernandez. They have now shot up from under $500,000 in space to $7.794 million. Slowly but surely, Brown is clearing the deck of various legal issues.
