In addition, Arizona made some solid moves on the defensive side of the ball while also dumping some bad contracts… Buffalo: The Bills made a statement here picking up Stefon Diggs, a game breaking wideout that has been missing for them. They are looking to seize control of the AFC East and upgraded what is already a top-3 defense… Miami: The Dolphins spent a ton of money adding 6 potential starters and were one of the busiest teams in the off season.

Additionally, the state of Florida has levied three formal charges against Brown for an alleged January assault that resulted in his arrest. Brown, 31, faces felony burglary conveyance, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal mischief charges, according to a Broward County court document. In January, agent Drew Rosenhaus terminated his relationship with Brown. That should tell you all you need to know about the character of Brown.
