girl injured in britt reid crash wakes from coma

I don't wanna spend a lot of time on this because I don't want to make it seem like I'm using this tragic story for clicks. But any good news is great news lately. Ex-Kansas City Chiefs outside linebackers coach Britt Reid (and son of head coach Andy Reid) was involved in a drunk driving accident, where he critically injured a five-year-old little girl. The latest update from the family's Go Fund Me page (which has raised a ton of money for her) says she has woken from her coma.

Jags add a director of roster management

The Jacksonville Jaguars' main objective this offseason is to, well, transform the entire organization. They've hired their new head coach, they're on their way to getting a brand new quarterback, and a.... director of roster management, Trip MacCracken​. 

The #Jaguars have hired Trip MacCracken as Director of Roster Management. A well-respected exec formerly of the #Browns and #Chiefs, MacCracken has a salary cap background. Jacksonville dismissed John Idzik last month.

First of all, what a name on that guy.

Second, while this sounds like a made-up position, it's something the Jags' front office has struggled with in recent years. Having someone with experience (MacCracken worked mostly in salary cap management before this) will hopefully benefit this front office, who needs all the help they can get.

The Miami Dolphins are planning on keeping kicker Jason Sanders around for a while, signing him to a five-year, $22 million extension on Tuesday. 

Miami Dolphins are signing kicker Jason Sanders to a five-year, $22 million extension that includes $10 million guaranteed and ties him to the Dolphins through the 2026 season, per source. Sanders is one of the league’s top kickers and now will be paid like it.

Usually, I'd say it was silly to sign a kicker to a deal like this, but 2020 has shown us all how important it is to have a competent kicker on your roster.

If there's anyone who deserves this kind of respect when it comes to making such a vital decision, it's Larry.
