NFL Notes: Demaryius Thomas, Browns, & Jets

Demaryius Thomas

• Jason Cole of the Bleacher Report doesn’t see the Broncos moving “budging significantly” in contract talks before Wednesday’s deadline to negotiate with franchised players.

Browns

• Ross Jones of FOX Sports reports that the rumors of Browns first-round pick DT Danny Shelton suffering a knee injury are inaccurate.
• A source tells Jones that Shelton is “100 percent” fine and was never hurt.

Jets

Jets NT Damon Harrison, who will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, mentioned that he considers himself to be the best nose tackle in the NFL.

“If you would have asked me after my first year starting about how I am as a player, I would have given you a humble answer. Not too confident but humble,” Harrison told Around The NFL on Tuesday. “But when you ask me now, I feel like I’m the best nose tackle in football. If you look at a nose tackle’s job description, nobody does it better than me and I’m confident in saying that.

“I’ve watched Vince Wilfork my entire life. Dontari Poe, Haloti Ngata even though he moves around.Paul Soliai, I watch everyone because you can always take something from someone. But it’s my time now.“
