NFL Notes: Chiefs, Jets, & Packers

Chiefs

Chiefs president Mark Donovan mentioned that they plan to begin marketing in St. Louis now that the Rams have vacated the market.

“The league has decided that they’re going to allow any team in the NFL that can put together an adjacent network, which is really confusing and very complicated, but basically means that if you can make a chain link of networks—broadcast partners, to get you to St. Louis, then you can broadcast your games there,” Donovan said, via Chiefs.com. “We knew that was coming and we have been working on this for the past few months. [Vice president of business development] Tyler Epp and his team have already negotiated deals, so our preseason games will be broadcasted in St. Louis. The plan is to have our shoulder programming, which is all the programming you see on our network, in St. Louis this season as well.”

Jets

• Rich Cimini takes a look at some players who’s stock has either improved or declined during offseason workouts.
• According to Cimini, three players who have helped themselves include CB Dee Milliner, LB Lorenzo Mauldin and LB Deion Barnes.
• On the flipside, Cimini singles out QB Bryce Petty, OT Jarvis Harrison and CB Dexter McDougle as three players who have seen their stock drop a bit.

Packers

Packers QBs coach Alex Van Pelt said he believes second-year QB Brett Hundley can develop into “a solid starter”  whether it’s for the Packers or another team.

“He’s right there with Aaron [Rodgers] (as a competitor),” Van Pelt said. “Those two go head-to-head in every competition we have. There’s a lot of talking between the two of them, a lot of bragging rights. He’s as competitive as there is.”
