This is Tabani Richards.
Tabani is the Assistant Athletic Trainer with the
@BuffaloBills
. He rode in the ambulance with Damar Hamlin last Monday night and has been with him in multiple hospitals every day since. Tabani set the Hamlin-Bills Zoom session up Friday. He’s amazing.
As I just reported on FOX, multiple teams have contacted Kliff Kingsbury for their vacant OC job.
He bought a one way ticket to Thailand and has told teams (respectfully) that he’s not interested at the moment.
@NFLonFOX
Quarterbacks 25 and under are 1-41 all-time in regular season games played in Gillette Stadium.
The only QB 25 or younger to win one?
Colin Kaepernick, 2012.

Six years ago, the infamous "Gas mask video" of Laremy Tunsil surfaced on NFL Draft Night.
Tunsil lost about $7M by falling in the draft.
Now, Tunsil is selling a 1-of-1 NFT of the video, with proceeds benefitting cannabis criminal justice reform.
I am assuming it's very, very, very unlikely.
But...
Just imagine Damar Hamlin in a number 3 Bills jersey...coming out of the tunnel alone...walking on to that field...leading the Bills on to the field in pre-game introductions on Sunday.
How are those goosebumps doing?
“Baker is a DUDE and the players saw it right away. He took the OL to the Bahamas during camp after final cuts to golf. He’s spotted around town at dive bars with receivers, with Mike Evans, with Godwin. He’s that guy. He’s the man. And it’s not fake.”
Josh Allen is amazing. And to say THIS after that crushing loss? Class. 👏🏼
“The rules are what they are, and I can’t complain about that because if it was the other way around, we’d be celebrating, too. So, it is what it is at this point. We didn’t make enough plays tonight.”
Might be time to recognize how good the
@49ers
franchise is.
5 NFC Championship Games in 11 years.
Lost Saleh and Mike LaFleur; didn’t miss a beat with McDaniel and Ryans taking on bigger roles.
Very well run organization that has long developed players, coaches & scouts.
Video of
@TomBrady
speaking with Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis at yesterday’s
@Fanatics
lunch with
@michaelrubin
and
@trvisXX
…
Awesome message from Brady to the four rookie QBs.
@gmfb
Cool story out of Denver.
I’m told when Broncos got to the locker room, Vic Fangio shouted out Kendall Hinton, and told the team how proud he was for their fight today. Just about every player on the Broncos then came over to Hinton and dapped him up.
Respect.
@gmfb
@NFLonFOX
Raiders were silent assassins this week.
Silent the first two days of free agency.
Chandler Jones, Rock Ya-Sin, Brandon Bolden, Jakob Johnson, Alex Bars, Mack Hollins, and ... Davante freaking Adams over the last 24 hours.
@gmfb
Michael Penix, Jr. measurables are the buzz right now.
6-foot-2, as expected.
The rest…
81’ wingspan, 10.5 inch hands, 33 5/8 arm length.
His hand size is in the Top 10 all-time for QBs at the Combine, and is same as Anthony Richardson (6-foot-4) last year.
@nflnetwork
I’m told Kyle Shanahan just gave a chilling, emotional speech in 49ers locker room. Discussed the meaning of “team” and importance of the bonds they share in light of the tragic loss of C.J. Beathard’s brother Clayton earlier this weekend.

NFL Defensive Player of the Year is as wide open as it’s ever been.
A name I’m throwing in the conversation:
@Vikings
DE Danielle Hunter.
While constantly being chipped and doubled, has 67 tackles, 13.5 sacks, 3 FFs, and 2 FRs; been the best player on a great defensive unit.
Can’t say enough about the Buffalo game day experience. Top to bottom, the fans and stadium staff were fantastic. The
@BuffaloBills
are a truly special team and the fans are savoring it. And that QB is pretty good too…
As the
@49ers
prepare for Super Bowl LVIII, I’d like to make this statement before a week of analysis of the game…
Patrick Willis belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I texted McCown this week. Here’s the exchange.
Me: “Josh, is this your first playoff game?”
McCown: “No. I was on the 2008 Panthers.”
Can’t make this stuff up.
Derrick Thomas passed away 24 years ago today.
He wore # 58.
With it being Super Bowl 58, I can’t help but think of him this morning. Discussing now on
@gmfb
.
@Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes went 16-21 as a starter at Texas Tech.
Credit to the
@Chiefs
for trusting the way they graded the player on film, getting to know him as a person pre-Draft, and believing and trusting everyone who raved about his leadership skills.
@Chiefs
@ArrowheadPride
Lamar Jackson says Patrick Mahomes is a Hall of Famer.
Present tense. Not will be.
Which begs the question — if Mahomes were up for contention right now for Canton— would he get in?
And the answer is yes. Emphatically, yes. First ballot.
One of the most important people in the Giants entire organization this week?
Jabrill Peppers.
Played a big role in the recruitment of Kenny Golladay, including a dinner together in Hoboken. Now, he’s chatting with FA CB Adoree Jackson, making case for Big Blue.
A closer!
More details trickling in...
Stafford wanted to play for McVay and be in LA. Lions did him right in the end. There were other offers. Very good ones, too.
Detroit and Rams front offices both knew that this was the trade that made all parties happiest— teams, player, coach.
Giants just beat Russell Wilson in Seattle with their backup QB. That may have been the single best win any team has had this season. Break up Big Blue.
I’d imagine a lot of Derrick Thomas 58 jerseys in the crowd today. The Chiefs fans have rallied around “58 for 58” all season. If you see any Chiefs fans wearing a 58 jersey— tag me. Would love to showcase all of those DT jerseys.
Last player to leave the field Saturday night after the drills?
Caleb Williams.
Hung and said goodbye to all the folks who ran the drills and worked the event.
Kudos to Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock for what might be the deepest rookie class I can recall.
This
@Raiders
rookie group is the first to have 10-plus sacks and 10-plus touchdowns over the first 10 games of the season since the sack became a stat in 1982.
A lot of shrugged shoulders around the NFL when the
@Browns
took Denzel Ward 4th overall back in April.
Five weeks into the 2018 season, Ward leads the entire NFL with 9 pass deflections and is tied for the DB lead with 3 interceptions.
Again, credit to Dorsey/Wolf/Highsmith.
The stories coming out of KC locker room re Frank Clark sound made up. They’re not.
Terrible stomach virus.
Lost twelve pounds since Monday.
Was in hospital.
His “Flu Game” and was biggest win of
@Chiefs
season.
@ArrowheadPride
Lot of jokes about the Bills the past two weeks. That’s Fine. But let’s give credit where credit is due. Josh Allen played his tail off today. That’s a hell of a win for Buffalo.
Congrats to the Chiefs!
Amazing feat considering how many “Near interceptions” (fake statistic ?) and “close wins” they “suffered” through this season.
I’m being a brat. Can’t we just enjoy greatness ?!
@ArrowheadPride
As I'm employed by the NFL, I don't have an AP vote. My ballot if I did:
OROY: Baker Mayfield
DROY: Darius Leonard
Coach of the Year: Matt Nagy
Defensive Player of the Year: Aaron Donald
Executive of the Year: Ryan Pace
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
What's yours ?
@gmfb
The
@packers
O-Line of YOSH NIJMAN, JON RUNYAN, JR., PATRICK LUCAS, ROYCE NEWMAN, and BILLY TURNER handling that Rams front 7 might be the story of the week. What an effort.
@gmfb
Fun nugget from Sherman-49ers signing today.
A five-hour negotiation w/ Sherman representing himself in room. Rare deal where player goes head-to-head with team execs.
@RSherman_25
knew the intricacies of his contract. Deal was hammered out over five hours.
@nflnetwork
@gmfb
I’ve spoken to multiple teams this morning who made calls TO the Rams in regards to Goff, too. This wasn’t some throw-in. The Lions wanted him. He had a market. Around NFL, Goff is regarded well. 25, multiple playoff wins, beat Brees and Wilson in their buildings in postseason.
De’Vondre Campbell isn’t even an Alternate? I don’t get worked up over Pro Bowl snubs, but that one seems a bit egregious. Campbell’s been awesome for
@packers
all season.
@gmfb
“I'll be honest with you. I just texted Brock [Purdy] the other day. I tried to track down his number. I just wanted to tell him how much respect I have for him. What a terrific game he played. He’s such a quality guy, strong Christian man, and I respect him.” - Steve Spagnoulo
From the
@chiefs
side, 5 picks for 1 non-QB player is about as much as you can possibly get on the market in a post-Herschel world. You’re now banking on one of the best front offices in NFL to maximize a boat load of cheap draft picks and 70M in cap space over the next 3 years.
