“Badger football is about downhill running… we’re evolving to be more split.”
QB Ryan Hopkins wants to embrace Wisconsin’s hard-nosed identity while adding a new dimension to the offense with his ability to stretch the field vertically.

The #49ers are adding a WR, completing a trade for #Colts WR Keenan Allen, per me and @AdamSchefter. Another pass-catcher for Brock Purdy.

The #Falcons taking Jake Moody from the #Ravens leaves Baltimore without a kicker since Tyler Loop is on IR.

Sources: The #Chargers have been more receptive to trading players over the last 24 hours.
Khalil Mack is still considered a long shot, but other expiring contract players are available if the offer makes sense.

Just in: The #Eagles-#Bengals trade that was supposed to send DE Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati is not happening, per @Schultz_Report.
Had the trade gone through, there was a formula where the Bengals could’ve lost a compensatory 3rd-round pick for losing Trey Hendrickson in free agency. It's complicated, but the trade is off.
One NFC team?
Sources: #49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk passed his physical Monday and was officially reinstated.
The next step is hoping for a release from San Francisco, and I’m told at least one NFC team has internally discussed the possibility of adding Aiyuk to its practice squad if and when that happens.

What makes the Vikings pursuit of a QB today so unpredictable is the fact we don't know Nolan Teasley's tendencies as a GM. We haven't even seen him run a draft yet as he was hired May 30th. What we do know is he worked under John Schneider in Seattle. Schneider always values picks and building through the draft ... and at the same time has always made a key move at the deadline if he saw a Super Bowl run in his sights.
What we do know:
- Teasley and the Vikings still think Kyler Murray will continue to get better and grow in this offense. They knew it would take time.
- Teasley values picks in the first three rounds VERY highly.
- He also believes when a team is capable of a run he will do his part to be as aggressive as possible, within reason, to find a missing piece.
- Fit, especially midseason, is really important. They had no plan to acquire any player at any position at the deadline unless the coaching staff had a specific plan for how they will use the player and there was a quick path for that player to hit the field.
Now we wait and see how the Vikings operate. They have possible options. What do they view as the best path for the rest of the season and beyond?

Rams LG Steve Avila reaggravated his hamstring yesterday & is expected to miss several games. Sean McVay said that the Rams are hoping to avoid putting him on injured reserve because they're running out of IR return slots already (currently 3/8 I believe, not including Ferguson)
