  • All of these companies showed interest in this package of games last year, but Twitter managed to come out on top by bidding $10 million for 10 games.
  • Wagner expects the NFL to have a decision at some point in the next month or so.

Draft

  • Washington CB Kevin King has worked out for the Buccaneers and has a visit scheduled with the Jets. (Tony Pauline)

Eagles

  • Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com takes a look at three draft prospects that would make sense for the Eagles to consider trading up for in round one.
  • Kempski mentions Ohio State CB Marshon Lattimore, Stanford DE Solomon Thomas and Alabama LB Reuben Foster as three prospects worthy of moving for this year.

Jaguars

  • Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports that the NFLPA is investigating the Jaguars for a violation of the collective bargaining agreement.
  • According to O’Halloran, Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin sent a letter to several players under contract saying that they were required to take a physical in Jacksonville this March. However, Jaguars’ players are barred from being at the team’s facility until April 10.
  • An agent of one of the Jaguars’ players notified the NFLPA about Coughlin’s letter.
  • Potential punishment, according to one of O’Halloran’s sources, could include the loss of an OTA workout this spring.
  • For what it’s worth, this is the second time the NFLPA has looked into a situation involving the Jaguars since Coughlin was hired.
