"The NFL Combine is finally underway. Players are beginning to stand out, in ways both good and bad. For now, I’m going to take a look at five guys who stood out on Friday, improving their draft stock and, potentially, giving themselves a chance to be selected earlier in the draft and earn a more lucrative rookie contract."
Wonderlic Test: What is it and can you pass? (Cincy Jungle)
"The NFL Combine is underway, and things are already getting interesting. Jared Goff has been criticized for having small hands, several players have been scrutinized for refusing to participate in certain drills and plenty of others will likely endure a fair amount of warranted and unwarranted criticism–perhaps from their results on the notorious Wonderlic test."
NFL Salary Cap set at $155.27 million, per reports (Cincy Jungle)
"The Bengals are coming off a great season and they hope to build off of it and make a deeper postseason run next year, but to make that happen, they need to re-sign most, if not all of their key free agents.With the NFL Scouting Combine now here, it won’t be long until they’ll be making some hard decisions regarding next year’s roster. As of now, Cincinnati is set to have double-digit starters hit free agency in March unless their contracts are extended between now and then.The good news is, the NFL salary cap is going to be bigger than it’s ever been in the coming season. That may help the Bengals be able to re-sign their own players, but then again, it may also help another team try to overpay for Cincy’s free agents.Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network and Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk are hearing that the salary cap for next year is going to be $155.27 million."
