Spoke to Matt Paradis (

) right after he was done being examined by the doctors initially. I asked him how he was and he kept interrupting me b/c he was cheering so loudly for his teammates on tv. Incredible player and teammate, he’ll be back and better than ever 💯
Cool story. My guy
@TySimmons_3
worked out at Georgia Pro Day this week. He texted me someone from the Steelers was showing interest. Ty calls me and it's Steeler GM Kevin Colbert on the line saying he wants to offer him on the spot. Always compete, you never know who's watching.
Good to see Matt Paradis (
@two_dice
) these past few days in Denver. His surgery was a success, and he’s scheduled to make a full recovery. He’ll be back and good as new in 2019!

Can’t say enough about
@RashadWeaver
this
@seniorbowl
week. Has lined up inside a bunch during practice and now in the game (something he hasn’t really done before) to help the team out where they’re thin a bit. Showing off his talent, versatility, and leadership 📈
In my opinion, power rushers have more value today than ever before. The ball is out so fast, having the ability to crush the pocket has bigger impact than speed getting run around the edge while the ball is gone.
Congrats to

Rashad Weaver is out there balling. Just got pressure once again. Mike Vrabel said Weaver was one of the guys he was most looking forward to seeing play today.

There's currently 816 certified NFLPA Contract Advisors;
459 Contract Advisors have at least 1 active NFL client;
107 Contract Advisors have at least 10 NFL clients;
Only 1 agent (

) certified in 2018 class has 10+ clients.
So every NFL front office member I’ve spoken to in the past few days thinks that free agency is going to be delayed. Sure would be nice to have some clarity with the legal tampering period opening tomorrow ⌛️

.....Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!
