NE: Welker still not practicing

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and his family were unharmed after an attempted burglary of their home Saturday morning, according to the Tredyffrin Township Police Department.

"They were home, and fortunately, as you know, with any situation like this, our main concern is that the residents of that home at the time were unharmed, which they were. They were fine afterwards, obviously unsettled as anyone would be,"

There were no injuries to any of the family members.

Alvin Kamara’s agent Brad Cicala tells me and @RapSheet
the new deal for his client, which @nick_underhill and @T_Armstead72 reported was imminent, has been agreed to. “Alvin’s goal, and the team’s goal, was for him to remain with the Saints and retire a Saint,” Cicala says.

Related Players: Travis Etienne, Devin Neal, Kendre Miller

This is actually pretty terrible fantasy news, particularly for tertiary pieces like Neal and Miller. Kamara doesn't project as a useful add on his own, but there is a good chance that he claims enough touches to pull away from Etienne's ceiling. The Saints look like an ascending offense, but Etienne should be treated as a low-end RB2 after this news.

The veteran quarterback has chosen to retire. The Panthers placed him on the reserve/retired list on Wednesday. The 31-year-old Will Grier was originally a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2019, and signed a one-year deal here before the draft. He has also spent time with the Cowboys, Bengals, Patriots, Chargers, Eagles, and the Cowboys again. He appeared in two regular-season games, both here during his rookie season.

Related Players: Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett

The Panthers will now hold Young, Kenny Pickett, and undrafted rookie Haynes King heading into training camp. Pickett is an interesting hold/waiver target in very deep SuperFlex Dynasty leagues.
