It’s the start of the NFL’s “lying season”, a time at which the NFL draft is coming closer, the combine is under way, and you can’t believe a word you hear. “Inside info” will be leaked from executives to insiders that’s more likely being leaked to prompt a response or reaction from another team. It seems there may be a case of this already with the Jets, and it seems fans are hoping it’s a lie.
