Peter King shares some of his takeaways from his recent conversation with
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and what it says about the skyrocketing values of
NFL teams and broadcasts.
In the wake of a racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, the Bills
sprang into action to support their local community and donate $400,000 to
local response organizations.
Peter King and Mike Florio discuss the pros and cons of the Giants' decision
to decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year option and look ahead at what the QB
could accomplish with his new head coach.
While Peter King doesn't see Baker Mayfield starting anywhere this season,
there's a real chance the Browns will need the unhappy QB this fall depending
on how the NFL disciplines Deshaun Watson.
