Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks took a hit at the quarterback depth as Trevone Boykin plead “no contest” to resisting arrest for an incident where he struck a police officer.  Compounding this issue is that their suspected “Plan B” at the backup spot, Seneca Wallace, was arrested for threatening to kill his girlfriend last week.  The Seahawks got some good news by signing wide receiver Doug Baldwin to a four year extension worth up to $46 million.

  • Chiefs’ Take: There’s really no telling what the NFL will do here.  A fight, in and of itself, isn’t a big deal.  However, he struck an officer and the NFL relies on local police departments for security from both on and off duty officers.  They may want to avoid appearing to go light on him.  In that case, the Seahawks may be in the market for a backup quarterback, and the Chiefs have one too many.

Washington Redskins: Kirk Cousins is now expected to play the 2016 NFL season on the Franchise Tag.  This could be a huge blow to the Skins as it would likely put Cousins in line for Free Agency in 2018 if he has a healthy and quality season.

  • Chiefs’ Take: Though Cousins could end up as a free agent in 2017, I would put the chances of him ending up in KC at very slim, bordering on none…for those who were thinking there might be a chance.
