It’s rare to find an off switch to the NFL news cycle, especially when the season is ongoing.
Even in the offseason, there are still a lot of items to report from free agent signings, contract extensions, trades, holdouts, and mock drafts.

Likewise, two offensive linemen can be traded to one another with ten kilograms of hot dogs as cash compensation.
What if undrafted rookies can be signed with hot dogs as salary?
