Jaguars reportedly have shown interest in Sammy Watkins

Some more info on the Rams’ restricted free agents .
Exclusive rights free agents usually get one-year contracts at minimum salary and can either sign the tender or sit out the season. So, they’ll sign. Troy Hill is the No. 5 CB on the depth chart right now, but two guys ahead of him, Kayvon Webster and Sam Shields, face serious questions. Malcolm Brown is Todd Gurley’s backup, unless the Rams sign a Lance Dunbar-type change-of-pace running back. Other ERFAs on the Rams: OLB Garrett Sickels, T Aaron Neary, K Sam Ficken, FB Zach Laskey. Restricted free agents, who must be tendered contracts by 4 pm ET: OLB Matt Longacre, LB Cameron Lynch, T Darrell Williams. Rams must keep Longacre; may keep Williams.

Technology, younger GMs have led to more active NFL trade market before free agency starts
Gary Klein@LATimesklein
If the Rams’ defense is as relentless in the upcoming season as the team’s front office has been in reassembling it, the future could be bright.

Bengals acquire left tackle Cordy Glenn from Bills
Jason La Canfora@JasonLaCanfora
The full Bills/Bengals trade, via a league source. Bills trade Glenn, and picks 21 and 158 for picks 12 and 187. Love it for Buffalo
Bills were plenty content with how the OL performed when Glenn was hurt last year. Now at pick 12 they’re in shouting distance of top 5
Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
Based on what the #Bills received in the Cordy Glenn trade, I’d be surprised if they don’t end up in the Top 10.. or Top 5 by Draft Night. They are on the move for a QB and everyone will be calling.
@TomPelissero says the #Vikings have reached out to Tom Condon on Drew Brees. I can add, so have the other QB-needy teams. #intrigue
Teams are now shopping players they may have to cut when the league year begins. Among them: #Rams Tavon Austin, #Eagles Vinny Curry, #Dolphins Ja’Wuan James. … That time of year.
