Darrelle Revis still needs a home for the 2017 NFL season, and a star wide receiver in Dallas is making a play for his services.

During the 2016 NFL season, Darrelle Revis and his New York Jets teammates severely under-performed. The result was the Jets cutting Revis loose, saying goodbye to arguably the best defensive player in the history of the organization. Revis may have some good years left in him, and Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant feels he could be a big part of the Dallas defense if Revis decides to head west this season.

Michael Vick and Roddy White are two of the biggest names in the history of the Atlanta Falcons franchise, and the organization plans to honor them on Monday. Vick and White will not be signing a contract to retire as a member of the team, but they are going to be celebrated for their contributions to the organization. Vick was one of the more polarizing players in NFL history during his time in the league, and as the starting quarterback in Atlanta, was the most electrifying player on the field whenever he took it.

Melvin Ingram is a huge part of what the Los Angeles Chargers do on defense, and they made sure it will stay that way on Sunday. The team signed Ingram to a four-year deal, worth $66 million, including $42 million of which was guaranteed. The Chargers placed the franchise tag on him in February, but moving to a new city, they needed to make sure they brought back the backbone of their defense for more than just next season.

The New England Patriots’ Super Bowl rings have the ultimate troll job in them. The rings feature 283 diamonds, which is no doubt in reference to the 28-3 deficit they had to erase in the fourth quarter to beat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. For Tom Brady, it was his fifth title as the starting quarterback of the team, making him the winningest Super Bowl quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Currently, Andrew Luck is the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, bringing in $24.6 million per season. Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders is looking for a new deal, and he finds himself making more than Luck going forward. Carr is expected to bring in a contract worth $25 million, but that deal needs to be done by the end of training camp because he will not discuss his contract once training camp begins, which is a scary thought for us Raiders fans.
