Senior Bowl practice notes: Day 2

by Jimmy Kempski

MOBILE, Ala. – In past Senior Bowls, there always seemed to be one player who clearly stood out above the rest during the week of practices. For example, it was clear a couple years ago that Aaron Donald was unblockable. In 2013, Lane Johnson was dominant, and he vaulted up draft boards. This year, no player has emerged as "that guy," although a lot of players have had a couple good days of practices. Here's what we saw Day 2.

Report: Eagles sign Brent Celek to contract extension

by Jimmy Kempski

Celek was originally scheduled to make $5 million in 2016, with no cap penalties if the Eagles cut or traded him. There was no way the Eagles were going to bring him back at $5 million. Instead, Celek took a pay cut and will remain with the team.
