Buzz - Lamar Jackson will visit Ravens

Top NFL draft prospect Lamar Jackson will visit with the Baltimore Ravens , and will probably be one of his last visits before the NFL Draft at the end of April. The Louisville quarterback, who has drawn comparisons to Michael Vick (the best Atlanta Falcons quarterback to date), and RG3 - that time before he was broken. 

This is interesting considering the Ravens just signed RG3 last week. I'm not here to make any assumptions, I don't know whats going on behind Ozzie Newsome's eyes, but plenty of people will make that connection. 

While I think Jackson will ultimately be gone by the time the Ravens are on the clock, Newsome did say, "You may be surprised by who we pick at 16 this year." I'm calling smokescreen.

buzz-worthy-

• The NFL is pushing Johnny Manziel's comeback HARD. Why? For a league that blackballed Ray Rice, pretends to care about women by setting aside a month to sell pink merchandise, and let Greg Hardy play again? I'll never know. Manziel threw a TD in a Spring League game and NFL's Twitter account lit up like it was New Year's Eve.
• Thomas Davis announced he tested positive for PEDs. The Carolina Panthers linebacker issued an apology on Twitter. He'll be suspended the first four games of the season. 

This is by far one of the saddest days of my NFL career. I never thought that this would happen to me. I’ve worked extremely hard to do things the right way on and off the field. Panther Nation please know that I am not a cheater. #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/zUppMfm6yk

• The Cleveland Browns trade Kevin Hogan to the Washington Redskins for some reason.​ The Redskins and Browns also swapped 2018 sixth-round picks. Poor Kevin Hogan - going from bad to really bad.
• Austin Howard visited with the New Orleans Saints. The Baltimore Ravens chose not to pick up their option on Howard this season, making him a free agent. Baltimore expressed interest in re-signing him if the price was right.
• The Saints are signing WR Cameron Meredith to an offer sheet. The Chicago Bears, his former team, have until Wednesday to match the offer. The Ravens were also a contender, as they offered him a contract before he signed with New Orleans.
• Colin Kaepernick attended Ozzie Newsome and John Harbaugh depositions. Despite reports that I did not retweet on Twitter, Kaepernick was in Baltimore this weekend to attend these hearings. This is mostly lawyer talk that I do not understand, so please click the link if you choose to read into this.
• Cam Newton's car was hit by a dump truck. This dude has terrible luck when he's in cars. He's fine.
• “Based on last year, he does very few things really well.” - a Cowboys staffer on Dez Bryant.
• Teams called Giants about Odell Beckham, Jr, although the Giants still insist they won't trade him. Odell also made sure to mention that he'll be at Giants workouts, which begin today.
  
• Aldon Smith got arrested again. Drink. I'm not sure what it's for this time.​
