“We expect our guys to be in there,” Taylor said. “We have a great group that’s really focused on helping this team do well. Business is business sometimes, but these guys are really dialed in and bought in to the things that we’re preaching. So we’re expecting everyone to be there.”

Bengals Uniforms are Defined by Stripes
There are people in the world who simply think that animal prints are gaudy or tacky. Those people probably shouldn’t even attempt to redesign the Bengals uniforms.

Around the league
Niners sign Robbie Gould to 4-year, $19M contract
The two fully guaranteed years are worth $10.5 million at signing, Pelissero added. The figure makes sense, as it's about what the kicker would have made if he played the next two seasons on the franchise tags.

"My purpose in life is bigger than the game," Morgan said. "What football taught me was the power of influence. My goal is to create better and more meaningful opportunities for marginalized communities to break the cycles of generational poverty and build greater wealth and economic mobility.

Franchise tag deadline: Clowney, Gould yet to sign
Players may sign the tender at any point after officially being tagged. Until the tender is inked, the team can rescind the franchise or transition tag. Once the sheet is signed, the player's salary is guaranteed for that season. If a player does not sign the tender, they remain without a contract, and therefore are not subject to fine schedules for skipping offseason workouts (as we saw with Bell last year). A player who has not signed the tender can also not be traded.
Melvin Gordon: 'I want to end up with the Chargers'
The Pro Bowl running back recently approached the team to request a new deal while noting he's prepared to demand a trade and not report to training camp. Gordon addressed his contract kerfuffle Saturday and stressed his desire to ink a new deal, specifically with the only NFL team he's ever known.
