Demovsky ESPN GB: Martellus Bennett had a unique way of describing how he'll get on the same page with his new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. "I learned a lot from Tom [Brady] last year about how to communicate even better with the quarterback. And from Jon Kitna to Tony Romo to Eli [Manning] to [Jay] Cutler, I speak several different quarterback languages, so I've just got to learn which one speaks to Aaron."

Salguero Miami Herald: Dolphins, Patriots taking different philosophical paths during free agency
http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article138454363.html
Salguero Miami Herald: What to expect from Dontari Poe’s visit to the Miami Dolphins; PLUS a dark horse name who might be better
"Here’s another option: Why haven’t the Dolphins thought about Johnathan Hankins?
If you’re not familiar, he’s a free agent defensive tackle who started 16 games for the New York Giants last year. Unlike the Dolphins (30th in the NFL against the run) and Kansas City where Poe played (26th versus the run), the Giants actually were good at stopping the run last season. The Giants were tied with New England for third in the NFL against the run.
And Hankins was a good part of that.
Indeed, he played better than Poe, which is mind-numbing because everyone has this Poe, Poe, Poe obsession.
I’m not saying I’d pay Hankins $8 million per season, either. But I’d offer him the contract I outlined above before I would even pay for a Poe plane ticket.
The Giants, by the way, haven’t re-signed Hankins because they’re watching their cap pennies these days. Hankins hasn’t gone on two or three previous free agency recruiting trips that have been reported. That suggests there is no significant bidding to compete against.
Johnathan Hankins & gt; Dontari Poe assuming Hankins doesn’t bury people he’s killed as a hobby or something crazy like that.
Johnathan Hankins ... Wouldn’t be surprised if that name begins to circulate if/when Poe leaves."

Palazzolo PFF: Mock draft 5.0 is here, featuring a trade up by the New York Jets to nab their QB of the future.
"23. New York Giants
O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
This move is all about loading up on playmakers for the Giants’ offense. They already brought in former Jets WR Brandon Marshall to pair with Odell Beckham, Jr. and Sterling Shepard, and Howard adds a middle-of-the-field complement to the strong receiving corps. Howard wasn’t used often in the passing game at Alabama, but has the size and speed to stretch the seam; he averaged 7.1 yards after the catch per reception over the last three seasons."

The Jaguars, Falcons. Chiefs, Giants, Broncos and Colts were among the teams who sent scouts.
The standout may have been a fullback, Shane Smith, who set a school record with 36 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press and also had a vertical leap of 37 inches. Smith, who measured 6-1, 244 pounds, was Tyler Ervin’s lead blocker in 2015 when Ervin set the school’s rushing record with 1,601 yards. Smith also had a team-best 10 1/2-foot broad jump and ran his 40-yard dash in 4.77 seconds.
