Breshad Perriman loses his dreads. Eugene Monroe walks away from the game for good. Officiating crews will rotate in 2016. Ronnie Stanley is the third-highest rated rookie on Madden. Ravens, thy name is uncertainty.

Walking Away from the Game I Love

Eugene Monroe has decided to retire instead of trying to join another team. The 29-year-old explains his decision in an article on The Players’ Tribune.

Perriman Hopes New Hairdo Brings New Luck

Breshad Perriman decided to try a new look, losing the dreadlocks and shaving his head. I like the dreaded look, but it was frustrating when Torrey Smith would get tackled by them, for sure.
