NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported
Friday that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star will mull over
his final three options this weekend.
Several media outlets reported Thursday that McCoy, 31, finished
up a two-day visit with Baltimore after having also visited the
Browns last week, days after his release by the Tampa
Buccaneers. The Tampa Bay Times reported McCoy has drawn bids
from 10 teams with an offer as high as $11 million annually.
McCoy, the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, was
released by the Buccaneers on May 20 with three years left on
his contract. The deal called for him to make $13 million in
base pay this season. The original contract was for six years
and $95.2 million.
--The NFL suspended quarterback Chad Kelly two games for a
violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
The Indianapolis Colts signed Kelly this offseason, and if he
makes the team, he won't be eligible to play in a regular season
game until Sept. 22. Under the suspension, Kelly can take part
in offseason practices, training camp and preseason games.
Kelly, 25, last played for the Denver Broncos and was released
in October 2018 on the heels of an arrest for criminal trespass
while he was the Broncos' No. 2 quarterback at the time behind
Case Keenum, now with the Washington Redskins.
--Charges against former Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin
were dismissed, two weeks after the team released him following
his arrest in Nashville, Tenn.
Griffin, 29, was charged with vandalism and public intoxication
on April 27 during the NFL draft, which was held in Nashville.
He allegedly punched a hotel window and sustained a bloody left
hand in the incident.
He was released a day later on $1,750 bond, with a court date
set for Friday. The Houston Chronicle reported the charges were
dismissed at a settlement conference. Griffin was assessed $195
in court costs. Griffin was entering the final year of a
three-year, $9 million extension signed in March 2017.
--New Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur will have
surgery Sunday to repair a torn Achilles tendon, according to
multiple reports.
LaFleur was injured while playing "knockout" on a basketball
hoop at the stadium on Wednesday night, reports Mike Silver of
NFL.com. Silver suggests LaFleur will coach from a cart during
the upcoming OTAs and likely throughout the offseason, but could
return to the sidelines by the time the regular season starts.
LaFleur, 39, became the 15th head coach for Green Bay's storied
franchise after a month-long search in January. LaFleur replaced
Mike McCarthy, who was fired by Packers president/CEO Mark
Murphy on Dec. 2 after Green Bay was stunned by the Arizona
Cardinals.
