New England Patriots: The Patriots have suffered their first casualty as tight end Michael Williams will miss the 2016 season with an ACL tear.

New Orleans Saints: The Saints have re-signed veteran safety Roman Harper to help fix a pass defense that was absolutely terrible despite big investments.  The Saints have lost pass rusher Hau’oli Kikaha to a torn ACL.

Pittsburgh Steelers: There appears to be some conflict between Steelers defensive backs coach Carnell Lake and former defensive back Brandon Boykin.  Lake told some fans at a fantasy football convention that Boykin had a degenerative hip problem.  Boykin believes that this has prevented him from getting a job anywhere in the league.

Chiefs’ Take

: A lot of Chiefs fans wanted the team to persue Boykin this offseason, and many will point to this as the reason why the team didn’t (and some will fire back up their desire for him).  The Panthers did sign Boykin earlier this offseason, and then unloaded him rather unceremoniously despite not appearing to have really brought in a solid replacement.  Very telling.

The 49ers OL was terrible last year…but apparently not terrible enough that they want Anthony Davis back.

San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers were dealt a huge blow last season when offensive tackle Anthony Davis decided to take a year off.  Apparently they aren’t aware of how big a deal it was to lose him, because the team is now making it clear he won’t have an easy route to making the roster.

To be fair, Davis has made it known he doesn’t want to be a part of the 49ers organization.  So what’s the issue?  San Francisco still controls his rights.

  • Author’s Take: This is some poor posturing by the 49ers.  They should be exploring trade opportunities or convincing Davis he wants to be a part of what they are building.  This stance does neither of those things.  They should have already released him to avoid any situation like this.

Well, that’s going to do it for me, Addicts.  Be sure to check back in next week for another round up of all the NFL news and rumors from around the league.
