by Evan Macy

Over the last few days details have emerged about the revamped 60-game season and one of the biggest changes is roster size. Teams will have 30 players suiting up on game day, with a "taxi squad" of three members serving essentially as the MLB's version of the NFL's practice squad, in addition to a player pool consisting of the rest of the team's roster options. These are a solution to there being no minor league baseball this season.

What they're saying: The Eagles are desperate for a playmaking receiver, bargain bin RB options and more

by Evan Macy

In an alternate universe, one absent the pandemic that has taken nearly 120,000 lives and decimated pro sports schedules, the NFL would be finishing up mandatory minicamps right now. Players and coaches would be preparing to "go dark" for about a month before training camps open in late July.
