• New Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel apparently has a "no bullshit" rule. While rumors swirled around (that made absolutely zero sense, but that's beside the point) that Tom Brady was being traded to the Dolphins, McDaniel shut it down quickly. Brady will be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, and that's all there is to it.

• HBO announced on Monday that the team chosen for this year's season of Hard Knocks would be the Detroit Lions. The Lions were one of the worst teams in the league last year and haven't had a winning season since 2017. However, their coach Dan Campbell is sure to come up with a few made-for-television soundbites, though, I'm sure.

• The NFL owners' meetings are underway, which means we get to hear from all the head coaches about how their lives are going. New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is heading into his 23rd year as head coach of the Patriots and didn't mince words when asked how he felt about it. You can tell by his face.

• During owners' meetings, new Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels was on the hot seat today. He was asked about his inconsistent quarterback before being very facetious about his future with the team. He didn't say anything to insinuate that Derek Carr wouldn't be with the team moving forward, but he also didn't exactly give him a glowing recommendation.

• If we've learned anything from this offseason so far, it's that no NFL player is un-tradeable. That, apparently, will not be the case for the New York Giants and running back Saquon Barkley. There's been speculation around the league that Barkley, a former first-round pick, was being shopped by the team to pursue a considerable return. I am in the camp that believes Barkley deserves better (his team is utter garbage), but the Giants have made their decision, and Barkley is staying put. At least for now.
  

Joe Schoen: “Haven’t called one team on Saquon Barkley.” He says they’ve had some calls but he’s a good player. Was the No. 2 pick for a reason.
