NFL Notes: Dez Bryant, Draft, Colts, Dolphins, & Eagles

Dez Bryant

Jeff Pash said that the NFL investigation into the Dez Bryant incident that reportedly took place in a Wal-Mart parking lot found no video evidence.

“We investigated and we did not find a video,” Pash said, per Bob Galuber.

Draft

  • Ian Rapoport reports that Alabama WRย Amari Cooper has emerged as the consensus No. 1 receiver in this year’s draft.
  • According to Rapoport, WVU WR Kevin White remains a close second to Cooper.

Colts

Colts owner Jim Irsay didn’t rule out the possibility of signing HC Chuck Pagano to a contract extension before the start of the season.

โ€œI really feel positive about Chuck and what heโ€™s done for us. Thereโ€™s no question that heโ€™s accomplished a lot since heโ€™s been here,โ€ Irsay said, via ESPN.com. โ€œAnd, obviously, we’re here for this gala because he had that illness in 2012. Really, itโ€™s only been kind of two years almost that heโ€™s been coaching. Heโ€™s done a very good job. Nothing rules out that we couldnโ€™t have an extension done before the season. If not, we can still, Iโ€™m sure, probably work things out.โ€

Previous reports had said that Pagano turned down aย one-year contract extension from the team.

โ€œThere were some efforts to talk about it and we just didnโ€™t get there,โ€ Irsay said. โ€œSometimes that happens and people have different opinions these days. If you go back to the old days, there were no agents involved. … Again, weโ€™re real positive about Chuck Pagano and the things heโ€™s done and itโ€™s not a sign of anything extremely negative. We just havenโ€™t gotten anything done in terms of a long-term contract.โ€

Dolphins

  • Joel Corry points out that Dolphins DE/OLBย Dion Jordan‘s suspensions in 2014 voided the $5,485,522 of guarantees in his contract for the 2015 and 2016 season, which makes it easier for Miami to cut him.
  • Dolphins VP Mike Tannenbaum said that they haven’t made any final decisions regardingย QB Ryan Tannehill‘s contract at this point in time. (James Walker)
  • According to Armando Salguero, theย Dolphins believe there are 19 first round players in this draft.

Eagles

  • Adam Caplan reports that theย Eagles offered RB Chris Polk the opportunity to come back at a lower base salary before rescinding his restricted tender, but the twoย sides could not come to an agreement.
