NFL Notes: Charles Woodson, Broncos, Cowboys, Dolphins, & Saints

Charles Woodson

• Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead reports that ESPN is replacing Keyshawn Johnson with Charles Woodson on “NFL Countdown.“

Broncos

• Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Broncos CB Aqib Talib received a $26,044 for an intentional facemask during the Super Bowl and taunting an opponent.

Cowboys

• Alex Marvez reports that the Cowboys have interviewed Gill Byrd for DBs coach vacancy.

Dolphins

• The Miami Dolphins announced Friday that they’ve mutually parted ways with assistant general manager Eric Stokes.
• The Dolphins also named Daronte Jones their assistant DBs coach.

Saints

Mike Triplett of ESPN takes a look at the Saints’ running back position and what we can expect to see from them this offseason.

• According to Triplett, the Saints are more likely to keep C.J. Spiller in 2016 or at least wait until June-1 to release him.
• Triplett would be “very surprised” to see the Saints invest heavily at running back during free agency or the draft.
• Triplett considers Mark Ingram to be the only back who is firmly entrenched on their depth chart.
• In regards to Khyri Robinson, who will be a restricted free agent, Triplett mentions that they’ll likely have to tender him at the mid- or low-round level, which would run them $1.5- $2.5 million.
• Triplett believes veteran RB Tim Hightower could come cheaper than both Spiller and Robinson and provide even more bang for their buck.
