Tom Brady’s contract extension might seem like a top-flight player signing a deal below his market value, but the New England Patriots QB shrugged off the idea he’s underpaid.

The Oakland Raiders will consider Central Michigan OT Eric Fisher with the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft, if Texas A&M OT Luke Joeckel is gone within the first two picks.

Most scouts see former Louisiana State CB Tyrann Mathieu being selected around the third round of the NFL Draft as a kick returner and slot corner.
NFL | Tyrann Mathieu likely to play special teams
Former Louisiana State CB Tyrann Mathieu said he believes he could cover Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson in a game. ‘I feel like if I was to check somebody like a Calvin Johnson, he’ll make his plays, but I’m definitely going to get mine, too,’ Mathieu said. ‘He’s going to catch his five balls, but I’m going to get my two turnovers, so we’ll be even.’

NFL teams try to catch prospects off guard when they interview them at the NFL Scouting Combine. Did a question to Colorado tight end Nick Kasa about sexual preference cross the line?

Negotiations between the New York Giants and restricted free-agent WR Victor Cruz are at a stalemate. Cruz still has a desire to sign a long-term deal as soon as possible. ‘Hopefully we can end that talk soon, man,’ Cruz said. ‘Hopefully we can get a deal done, if not with the Giants then unfortunately somewhere else. But I want to be a Giant for a long time, so we’ll see how it goes.’ At this point, the most likely scenario still appears to be the team placing a first-round tender on Cruz, guaranteeing him a one-year salary of approximately $2.9 million. That would give Cruz the right to seek offers from other teams; however, the Giants would have the right to match and the right to compensation in the form of a first-round pick if they don’t.
Giants | No progress with Victor Cruz
