Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.

New York Jets RB Le’Veon Bell is not guaranteed to return to the team next season since general manager Joe Douglas said he would be willing to listen to trade offers for him this offseason. ‘Like I said, if teams do call, I’m going to listen. How those conversations go, I can’t speak to that. That’s hypothetical. When teams call, I will listen,’ Douglas said.

Footballguys View: The team will listen to offers for Bell but they may not get that many. Bell’s contract is huge but the Jets might bend over backwards to get him out of the building.

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals LB Chandler Jones (thumb) had surgery to repair ligament damage in his thumb Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Detroit Lions linebackers coach Al Golden was fired on Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Free-agent WR Jaylen Smith was signed to the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday, Jan. 31.

Texas A&M WR Quartney Davis announced his intention to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Footballguys View: Davis is declaring in what is a deep and talented draft class at the wide receiver position. He’s got a good size/speed combination but Davis has never played up to his potential in college. Expect him to be a mid-to-late-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) reportedly has a medical checkup scheduled in February that will be ‘significant in terms of mapping out what is next,’ according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Footballguys View: Roethlisberger insists that he’s going to keep playing football for years to come. The reality is that Father Time has to be catching up to him…just like it did his draft classmates Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. We should see him severely limited this offseason with an eye on a return for the veteran quarterback during training camp.
