We know you are ready for the NFL regular season to kickoff!!!
In the meantime, we want to keep you updated on what’s going on around the league right now.
Monday’s NFL Roundup includes the Seahawks "Legion of Whom" looking to impress, the Giants show Odell Beckham the money, and Eric Decker calls it a career.

Legion on whom?
The Legion of Doom is now the Legion of Whom and they look ready to surprise people, this according to Peter King of NBC Sports. "The whole thing is weird. No Kam Chancellor or Sherman or Earl Thomas. No Michael Bennett or Cliff Avril. No Jimmy Graham, no Jon Ryan. No Tom Cable, Darrell Bevell or Kris Richard. For the first seven months of 2018 in Seattle, the sky fell. Now, on the eve of the season, there’s actually some hope that this won’t be just a bridge-to-2019 season, a carry-us-to-six-exciting-wins-Russell-Wilson year."

Jags lose Lee for season
The Jaguars lost big-play receiver Marqise Lee following a nasty hit to the knee in the team’s preseason victory over the Falcons on Saturday. If you ask his teammate Jalen Ramsey, the NFL’s new helmet rule is to blame. Take this excerpt from a piece by CBS Sports “You can't be mad at 27 [Kazee]," Ramsey said. "You have to be mad at the NFL; not mad at them, but that is how the rule is. People are scared to tackle normal because I guess they don't want to do helmet-to-helmet and get flagged. ... Game-changing stuff could happen. You don't really want to blame anyone, but you feel bad for him. I don't know, man, that's just tough to see it happen to one of my teammates, period, but you can't really blame 27."

Something is wrong with Wright
The Seahawks could be without a key part of the defense to start the season. Linebacker K.J. Wright underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday and the timetable for his return is unknown. As Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR points out, "If Wright is unable to play in Week One, it would likely lead to rookie Shaquem Griffin making the start for Seattle at strong-side linebacker."

Pleasant spent the previous six seasons with the Houston Texans and signed with New England just prior to training camp.
