    Browns RB Isaiah Crowell apologizes for social media reaction to police killings
    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/16...olice-killings


    Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell apologized and said his social media reaction to last week's killing of two black men by police was "very wrong."


    Crowell said he made an "extremely poor decision" when he posted a drawing that graphically showed a hooded individual putting what looks like a machete into the throat of a police officer.

    NFLPA sends James Harrison affidavit to NFL denying claims in Al-Jazeera report

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...nhancing-drugs

    James Harrison said in an affidavit provided to the NFL that he has never violated the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs and also has never met the man who alleged to Al-Jazeera America that he supplied thePittsburgh Steelers linebacker with an illegal substance.
    The affidavit, dated July 11, 2016, was included with a letter from Heather M. McPhee, the NFL Players Association's associate general counsel to Adolpho Birch, the NFL's senior vice president of labor policy. A copy of the letter was obtained by ESPN.
    The union included the affidavit, along with a transcript of the only references to Harrison in the Al-Jazeera report, to support its position that there is no need for Harrison to agree to an in-person interview with the NFL as the league lacks evidence to support such an interview.

    Patriots QB Tom Brady has Deflategate appeal denied by 2nd U.S. Circuit Court

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...-circuit-court


    NEW YORK -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's latest attempt to avoid serving a four-game Deflategate suspension to start the new season was flatly rejected Wednesday by an appeals court.


    The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued a one-sentence rejection of requests by the National Football League Players Association and Brady to reconsider an April decision that found that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acted within his powers by suspending the star quarterback for his role in a scheme to doctor footballs used in a January 2015 playoff game.


    "We are disappointed with the decision denying a rehearing, as there were clear violations of our collective bargaining agreement by the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell," the NFLPA said in a statement issued Wednesday. "Despite today's result, the track record of this League office when it comes to matters of player discipline is bad for our business and bad for our game. We have a broken system that must be fixed.

    Ravens' Justin Tucker vows to not re-sign if long-term deal isn't reached

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...al-not-re-sign


    Baltimore Ravens franchise kicker Justin Tucker has grown frustrated enough with negotiations that he is vowing not to re-sign with Baltimore after this season if the two sides do not have a long-term deal in place by Friday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.


    "Justin's disillusioned with the process right now and the Ravens' position with him on his contract," Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, said Thursday. "If we don't get a long-term deal done by Friday, Justin will not entertain offers from [the] Ravens after the season."


    There was hope of progress recently; however, that hope dissipated Thursday, when the Ravens provided Tucker with an offer that actually paid him less than their prior offers and less than Mason Crosby of the Packers.

    Tom Brady won't appeal suspension to Supreme Court

    Tom Brady announced Friday that he will not appeal his four-game Deflategate suspension to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying in a message on his Facebook page that he will "no longer proceed with the legal process."


    New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement Friday. "The league's investigation into a football pressure matter was flawed and biased from the start, and has been discredited nearly unanimously by accredited academics and scientists.

    Johnny Manziel breaks silence, hints at a possible future in football

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jo...e-in-football/

    That changed on Friday though, when Manziel broke his silence by sending an 87-word statement to the Washington Post. On July 15, the Post published a lengthy feature on Manziel, and although he didn't agree to be interviewed for the piece, he did let his spokeswoman send in a statement to give everyone an update on his life.
    "I'm actually doing well. I have good friends around me supporting what I do and I try to support them in what they want to do," Manziel said.
    According to Manziel's friends, the quarterback has been sober since July 1, when he made the pledge to stop drinking. Manziel says the pledge won't last forever, but he is clean right now.
    "I'm not saying I'm never drinking again, but for now just mostly being healthy," Manziel said. "I've got a killer gym in my house and I can spend time working out."

    NFL likely to insert data chips into game balls in preseason, Thursdays

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...ason-thursdays

    The NFL is finalizing plans to insert custom-made data chips into the game balls used in the 2016 preseason and Thursday night regular-season games, a league source said Sunday night.
    The data would be used for research that could spark significant changes in officiating, kicking and other areas as soon as the 2017 season.
    The Toronto Sun reported earlier Sunday that the league would use chips in K-balls to help determine the potential impact of narrowing the goalposts sometime in the future.

    Justin Durant returns to Cowboys with one-year deal

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...ain-suspension


    IRVING, Texas -- With Rolando McClain suspended the first 10 games of the regular season and inexperienced depth across the linebacker position, the Dallas Cowboys signed Justin Durant to a one-year deal on Monday.


    Durant was a starter for the team in 2013 and '14, serving as a defensive captain in his last season. He signed a free-agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 but was released in February.


    McClain was re-signed to a one-year deal in March that included a $750,000 signing bonus and is worth up to $5 million. If the Cowboys release McClain, which remains possible, they would not be able to recoup any of the signing bonus.

    Dez Bryant files countersuit against ex-adviser Royce West


    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...ser-royce-west


    A month after he was sued, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has filed a countersuit against former adviser Royce West, claiming West and his business associates breached the professional and fiduciary duties owed to him.


    According to the lawsuit, West, a Texas state senator, "capitalized on Bryant's notoriety and hard-earned success to improperly line his own pocket and those of his business associates."


    The suit claims West and his law firm, West & Associates L.L.P., received more than $300,000 in compensation from Bryant while West "simultaneously was breaching his fiduciary duties and other obligations to Bryant." Also, David Wells, who served as West's "hand-picked" financial manager, is said to have "absconded" with over $200,000 owed to Bryant under endorsements and other agreements.

    Cardinals' S Chris Clemons may face assault charges


    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...-chris-clemons


    TEMPE, Ariz. - Scottsdale police recommended to the city prosecutor's office that assault and disorderly conduct charges be brought against veteran Arizona Cardinals safety Chris Clemons for a May 8 incident outside a Scottsdale night club. The recommendation was made two weeks ago.


    Clemons allegedly assaulted a female outside of International, a night club in the Old Town area of Scottsdale, according to a police report. The victim was knocked out for 20 to 30 seconds by a punch to the face after an altercation in a parking lot near the club, according to the report. According to the victim, whose name was redacted in the report, Clemons punched her with a closed fist, which caused her to bleed from her nose and mouth, fall and hit her head.

    NFL medical adviser Elliot Pellman retiring; move prompted by Roger Goodell
    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...llman-retiring


    The NFL will replace longtime and controversial medical adviser Elliot Pellman with a new full-time chief medical officer, commissioner Roger Goodell wrote Wednesday in a letter to club executives.


    For years, Dr. Elliot Pellman has been a central figure in the NFL's concussion crisis.
    Pellman will retire, Goodell wrote, but the commissioner made the decision that prompted Pellman's retirement, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Goodell understands that the NFL must demonstrate strong leadership on health and safety and that its players and fans need to trust in the league, the sources said.


    Pellman is retiring after a 30-year career with the NFL. A rheumatologist, Pellman had served as New York Jets team doctor and was also chairman of the league's powerful research arm.

    Josh Gordon met with Roger Goodell on reinstatement


    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...-roger-goodell


    Suspended Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this week to discuss his return to the NFL, according to sources.


    The meeting was first reported by the NFL Network and confirmed by ESPN.


    Gordon can reapply for reinstatement to the league on Aug. 1, and the meeting had been scheduled as part of that process. Sources tell ESPN's Dan Graziano that a decision on Gordon's status is not likely before the start of the season.


    Gordon was suspended two games in 2013, 10 games in 2014 and for the entire 2015 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He was denied reinstatement in April after reports he failed a drug test because of a diluted samples that also tested positive for marijuana. The level of marijuana did not meet the NFL's threshold for suspension, but the diluted samples are considered the same as a positive test.

    Packers confirm NFL will interview Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers over PED allegation


    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17...ped-allegation


    GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy confirmed Thursday that the NFL will interview Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, who were named in an Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance-enhancing drugs.


    It was the first acknowledgment by anyone from the Packers' organization of the interviews, which are expected to take place in Green Bay when training camp opens next week.


    "The league is pursuing that," Murphy said following the team's annual shareholders meeting. "I know there's been some resistance from the NFLPA about the credibility of some of the sources there, but I don't think we know much more than that."
