Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports, citing two unnamed sources close to Peyton Manning, that he passed on the chance to become the lead analyst for Monday Night Football because this year’s schedule includes a pair of Giants games.

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell responded Wednesday to a report that head coach Adam Gase did not want the team to sign the ex-Pittsburgh Steeler in the offseason. 

"There's been a BUNCH of false reports and speculation about me in the past about things I've said and done, so I'm used to this," Bell tweeted. "I don't jump to conclusions when I hear or see a story that may affect me.

Brady wasn't present for the opening week of the Patriots' offseason workout program, which was also missing one of his favorite targets in tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is reportedly still considering whether to play this upcoming season.
