NFL Rumors: Andrew Luck, Jaguars, Packers, Rams, & Ravens

Andrew Luck

Colts GM Ryan Grigson told reporters on Thursday that they and Andrew Luck‘s representatives are motivated to get a long-term contract in place this offseason.

“Both sides are motivated,” Grigson said, via Stephen Holder. “We obviously want Andrew here. I really don’t anticipate any issues with that. I can’t talk about any numbers or anything like that. We haven’t started any of those discussions. But that will probably happen soon.”

• McCarthy said he would like to see DT B.J. Raji re-signed. (Michael Cohen)

Ravens

• According to Jeff Zrebiec, if the Ravens are, in fact, able to re-sign Kelechi Osemele, they will likely designate OT Eugene Monroe as a post-June 1 cut.

• Ravens HC John Harbaugh joked with reporters about QB Joe Flacco’s contract: “I don’t think Joe is talking about taking any pay cuts that I’m aware of. Would be great if he would.” (Jeff Zrebiec)
