The Seahawks’ left tackle got a false start on NFL free agency

Russell Okung wants every team in the NFL to know that his shoulder is going to be fine. There’s just one problem with that.

FREE AGENT FALSE START: Russell Okung got a false start on free agency. The Seahawks tackle sent an email to all 32 NFL teams to tell them that his shoulder would be ready to go by next fall. There's just one problem with that: free agents and other teams can't start talking until March.

SEPTEMBER SUPER BOWL PICKS: The Panthers were nobody's preseason Super Bowl 50 pick. Revisiting those Super Bowl picks from September is always fun.

BIG DAY FOR BIG MEN IN MOBILE: Looking for the NFL’s next great defensive lineman at the Senior Bowl. Defensive linemen got their turn to shine in Mobile this week. Guess who they’re comparing Louisville’s Sheldon Rankins to?

THANK YOU, CAM: Cam Newton finally said what we’ve been thinking for five years. HELL YEAH!

PRO BOWL DRAFT: The Pro Bowl rosters are official. Oh, hey. Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice filled out their rosters during Wednesday night’s draft. Can you feel the excitement? Susannah Collins has some advice for Pro Bowl viewing.

GET SERIOUS: The Browns want Johnny Manziel to prove he’s serious about football. Sashi Brown, the team’s executive VP, said Wednesday that they want Manziel to demonstrate “that this is going to be the most important thing in his life.” In the same chat, he added an ominous note about one player being too big of a distraction.

BUFFALO REMEMBERS: Buffalo and Wide Right, Broken Hearts and No Illusions. It’s been 25 years since Scott Norwood missed that kick. Here’s what the rest of America might never understand about Buffalo and its Bills.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE: Von Miller and the Broncos defense delivered one of the most thorough beatdowns ever seen. Led by the gyrating hips of Miller, Denver's defensive front delivered one of the most dominant performances in the history of the NFL playoffs. Miller took another shot at Tom Brady by saying his intercepted ball felt "a little flat."

UNSTOPPABLE: Cam Newton is the key to the Panthers’ unstoppable run game. The Panthers had the NFL’s most productive offense this season thanks to a creative running game built around their quarterback. Here’s what they can do that no other team can.

SUPER RECRUITS: How each Super Bowl 2016 starter was rated as a high school recruit. The Panthers are filled with former blue-chippers. The Broncos? Not so much.

MORE LOS ANGELES: Coliseum Commission to consider temporarily housing two NFL teams. Another sign that the Chargers are headed to Los Angeles?

REVISITING SUH’S CONTRACT: Ndamukong Suh contract restructure on the table. Even with the cap expected to rise, Suh’s $28.6 million cap hit is going to get some scrutiny.

JETS QB: Jets looking for a quarterback again? The team spent some time with Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott at the Senior Bowl on Wednesday.

GHOST OF PAST DRAFTS: Eagles could have drafted Patrick Peterson (or J.J. Watt or Julio Jones) if the NFL lockout didn’t happen. Here’s a depressing story for Eagles fans.
