It seems relatively quiet on the breaking bad news front.

In no way do I wish anything negative on any of the hard working guys starting their professional lives this week, but is anyone else surprised by the relatively lack of bad news, rumor or even innuendo that usually hits in early April? I would have thought that given the Covid rules and all the amateur news people about, we’d see more reports of injury or character concern pop up later in the process. It really would be nice to have a year with no / minimal bad stuff come out.

I think his downfall really freaked people out in professional ranks and agents have drilled that as a warning to all of their clients. With less info available, teams are not going to gamble on off the field concerns. Teams will be more likely to black flag those players this year.

Why this year is riskier.....it's easier to hide the bad stuff
