Eli Manning cringed at how his new understudy first greeted him on the phone. The New York Giants potentially drafted Eli Manning’s eventual replacement last weekend. The Giants selected Davis Webb in Round 3, and though Webb needs work and Manning shouldn’t worry about him this season, there could be a debate at some point — say, in two or three seasons — about Webb being the next in line at QB.
When San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York saw Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh — the brother of the man with whom York used to work — at the NFL’s owners meetings, John suggested that York sit down and have a bite with Jim Harbaugh at some point to clear the air. York told The MMQB’s Peter King that he’s open to the idea. No thanks, I’m stuffed.” What dinner between Jim Harbaugh (L) and San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York might be like.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Mays will make his case for a roster spot by working out for the Patriots during this weekend’s rookie minicamp. Mays signed with the Bengals last year a few days after learning he was suspended four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, but he was released by the Bengals during the summer after drawing an additional four-game ban. Mays played 14 games with the Raiders during the 2015 season and spent the previous four seasons with the Bengals after they acquired him in a trade with the 49ers. The Patriots don’t have a particular need at safety, but a good showing from Mays this weekend could allow him to stick around long enough to convince the team that there’s a spot for him on the roster.
