Trying to talk himself into playing another season for the Bengals
.@MattFtheOracle sees RB Jeremiyah Love going to Tennessee at No. 4. "With a three-down skill set, workhorse frame, and home run speed, Love could be one of the NFL's top backs as a rookie. If he lands in a functional offense, he could draw Round 1 investment in fantasy drafts."
The Saints have not received any calls about a potential trade for retired QB Derek Carr, per @ProFootballTalk Carr could emerge as an option if a contender suffers an injury at QB.
Derek Carr said he'd be willing to mentor incoming Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza: "If that's something that they would like, if it brings him value, I would absolutely help him in any way. I know that building, our fanbase, and what it means to be a Raider." (via @AM570LASports)
Kenneth Walker III said it "means a lot" that the Chiefs made it clear they wanted him in free agency. "You feel appreciated and wanted, you know. That's what everybody wants." His goal now: "Trying to go get another one." (via @kmbc)
@Jions wtf are u smokin?.. hes just sitting there
Mike Evans on Brock Purdy: "He's a true professional. Really, really underrated player. I feel like I could help him out a lot and get him where he wants to go... Super Bowl champion, potential MVP." (via @NBCS49ers)
Mike Evans on why he chose the 49ers: "It was always going to be hard to leave Tampa, but I've always appreciated how the Niners compete and the way Kyle [Shanahan] calls games. I felt like they were one piece away, and I think I'm that piece." (via @49ers, @brianajeannel)
