[NO - QB Drew Brees plans to make decision soon]( Source: NOLA.com - Amie Just Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints impending free-agent QB [Drew Brees]( said he plans to 'give it a month or so' before determining if he will return to the team for the 2020 season or retire. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] He had previously stated that he is not considering playing for any other teams. That means if it's the Saints or bust for Brees. He will make a decision soon enough for the team to go in a different direction if need be. Teddy Bridgewater is an unrestricted free agent in 2020 but loves the staff, his teammates and the city. He went 5-0 as the Saints starter when Brees was down in 2019 and could step in as the starter if Brees ends up retiring.

[PHI - DT Fletcher Cox gets into end zone at Pro Bowl]() Source: ESPN Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox was credited with a 61-yard interception return for touchdown at the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Nobody was going to get in the big man's way...especially in a game where tackling is not a thing. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [IND - TE Jack Doyle records touchdown at Pro Bowl]() Source: ESPN Indianapolis Colts TE [Jack Doyle]( posted three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown on four targets for the AFC at the Pro Bowl Sunday, Jan. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Doyle will continue to be a big part of the Colts passing game in 2020. However, we have questions about who his quarterback will be. The Colts could be in the market for a guy like Philip Rivers in free agency or they might draft a player like Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. Either way, we expect them to add competition for Jacoby Brissett. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [JAX - DJ Chark scores for AFC at Pro Bowl]() Source: ESPN Jacksonville Jaguars WR DJ Chark Jr. registered two grabs for 67 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown in the third quarter, for the AFC at the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chark had a breakout season in 2019. His 2020 outlook is a bit cloudy because we don't know who the quarterback will be. The Jaguars have not committed to either Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew. We'll see a QB competition this offseason and into training camp and the preseason. Chark should be a favorite target no matter who wins the starting job. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [BAL - TE Mark Andrews shows out at Pro Bowl]() Source: ESPN Baltimore Ravens TE [Mark Andrews]( ended up with a game-high nine receptions for an AFC-best 73 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets at the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Andrews is a favorite target of Lamar Jackson and that will continue in 2020. The second-year pro finished 2019 as the No.2 fantasy tight end in standard-scoring leagues...in large part due to his 10 touchdown receptions. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [DAL - WR Amari Cooper scores TD at Pro Bowl]() Source: ESPN Dallas Cowboys WR [Amari Cooper]( finished with three grabs for 24 yards and a touchdown on seven targets for the NFC at the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 26. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Now, the Cowboys need to pay the man...not because of anything he does in the Pro Bowl but because he's one of their best weapons and he wants to stay with the team. The Cowboys have not yet opened talks with Cooper. They have to play him, QB Dak Prescott and CB Byron Jones somehow/someway this offseason. OverTheCap.com has the Cowboys with the 5th-most salary cap space ($79.8MM) in 2020. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [NFL - Javon Kinlaw a top prospect at Senior Bowl](=) Source: NFL.com - Bucky Brooks South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw was one of the most impressive prospects at the Senior Bowl this week, in the opinion of NFL Network's Bucky Brooks. Kinlaw showed an exceptional combination of strength, power and athleticism in one-on-one drills during practice. He played mostly at defensive tackle during college but has the skills to play defensive end in a 3-4 defensive alignment. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kinlaw had a bit of Aaron Donald to his game during the practices at the Senior Bowl (where Donald looked dominant too years ago). He should be a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft and might land in the top 10. His game is all about disruption, strength, quickness and penetration to get after the quarterback. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [HOU - QB AJ McCarron may be re-signed]() Source: ESPN.com - Sarah Barshop Houston Texans impending free-agent QB [AJ McCarron]( is a candidate to be re-signed this offseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We can't imagine the market being too wild for McCarron. The Texans might want to keep him around as he knows the system and gives them veteran depth behind Deshaun Watson. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [HOU - TE Darren Fells could return]() Source: ESPN.com - Sarah Barshop Houston Texans impending free-agent TE [Darren Fells]( is a player the Texans will try to re-sign this offseason, but he probably will receive interest from multiple teams in free agency. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fells could have a larger market than some think. However, the Texans have a good group of tight ends with guys still in place like Jordan Thomas and Jordan Akins. They might lose Fells but still be more than okay at tight end because of those two. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [NFL - Lofty comparison for Harrison Bryant]() Source: ESPN.com Florida Atlantic TE Harrison Bryant 'can be [George Kittle]( 2.0,' according to an NFL scout who attended the Senior Bowl. 'He's really polished,' the scout said. 'He's athletic, runs good routes, can catch over the middle of the field.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Let's not get too carried away with the comparison game. Bryant is a receiving tight end through and through. He's lined up like a wide receiver or in the slot more than he is as an in-line tight end because Bryant isn't much of a blocker. Scouts should be interested in Bryant because of his upside but we're not going to put him on the Kittle level. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [PHI - Mile Sanders a complete back](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jeff Legwold Philadelphia Eagles RB [Miles Sanders](' 1,327 yards from scrimmage in 2019 ranked 16th in the NFL, and his 50 receptions were the most among rookie running backs. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Sanders is the top back for the Eagles and should get a larger role in 2020. He spent part of his rookie season a little banged up, or splitting time in a RBBC. The Eagles should use a committee at the position but with Sanders as the clear lead runner and receiver out of the backfield this upcoming season.
