Plenty of interesting nuggets were dropped during the first day of the NFL’s annual meeting on Monday, but no one topped the Patriots owner.
Plenty of news to get to, after the NFL’s first full day in the desert …
• I thought Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s words about Jerod Mayo on Monday were very notable. Because of the way the rules are, teams can’t formally put succession plans in place. That said, Kraft walked right up to the line in explaining how Mayo is well-positioned to become New England’s next coach whenever Bill Belichick walks away.

PHOENIX — Lamar Jackson didn’t have a team that was publicly interested in him — until Monday. But now the Indianapolis Colts are that team.
As expected.
And now it gets really interesting.
On the same day Jackson announced to the entire Earth he’s asked to be traded and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh could not guarantee the team’s starting quarterback would return, it became open season for the star quarterback.
