Apr 27, 2023 11:32 PM

Three quarterbacks were taken in the first four picks of Thursday's NFL Draft, but Will Levis remained on the board through the end of the first round.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that one team called a left toe injury that caused Levis to miss time last year "problematic" and that another team thinks he might need surgery to repair the issue.

Levis believes his toe has fully healed and that he does not need to have surgery, the report added.

The Kentucky quarterback was invited to and present in the green room.

Eagles, Cardinals Settle Tampering Investigation With Pick Swap

Apr 27, 2023 8:11 PM

The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles have settled a tampering investigation by trading picks in the 2023 and 2024 draft. 

The teams are swapping third-round picks in 2023 (a 28-pick difference), and the Cardinals will receive the Eagles' fifth-round pick in 2024.

In a joint statement, the teams explained that Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with Eagles defensive coordinator — and now Cardinals coach — Jonathan Gannon in the days following the NFC Championship.

The conversation was a violation of rules. The statement contends that the Cardinals self-reported the issue.

Lions 'Felt Better About' Jalen Carter After Visit

Apr 20, 2023 2:30 PM

The Detroit Lions hosted Jalen Carter for a visit on Monday.

"He came in and he did a nice job. Again, it's always case by case. He came in, we enjoyed our time with him, he did a nice job," general manager Brad Holmes said of Carter's recent visit. "I'll say even after he left his visit, I felt better about him."

The Lions own the No. 6 and No. 18 overall picks.

Carter's draft status has been clouded after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing last month in connection with a fatal crash in January. He was sentenced to 12 months of probation, a $1,000 fine and 80 hours of community service and will attend a state-approved defensive driving course. His attorney, Kim Stephens, said that by resolving the matter, the state of Georgia is forever barred from bringing additional charges against Carter.
