- Jarvis Landry skipped voluntary workouts this week (cleveland.com) - Like his friend Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry didn’t participate in Browns’ voluntary minicamp this week, league sources told cleveland.com.
- Joe Schobert is the most underpaid linebacker in the NFL (DPD) - Joe Schobert, star middle linebacker for the Cleveland Browns is the most underpaid linebacker in the NFL, and for that reason, it would make great sense to lock him up now with a significant pay raise and a contract extension.

NFL:
- Tyreek Hill ranks among biggest draft busts of all-time (Boston Herald) - Every list of NFL draft busts brims with quarterbacks chosen in the first round: Rick Mirer, Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Vince Young, JaMarcus Russell, Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel. The misses never stop. But not all the worst picks in NFL history were taken on the first day.

Not to dump on quarterback Daniel Jones, 21, the Giants’ No. 6 overall pick out of Duke. He is clearly a bright and well-intentioned young man who will work hard to validate his new team’s confidence. This pick, however, was a stunning reach, a jaw-dropping and seemingly desperate move by GM Dave Gettleman to get the Giants’ next franchise quarterback.
