#412: Latest NFL News & Notes + Week 1 Preseason Preview (with Hal Bent)

Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Does the suspension of Charles Omenihu give Chris Jones additional leverage in contract negotiations with the Chiefs?

2. IF the Chiefs end up trading Chris Jones, what kind of package should they expect in return?

3. If Joe Burrow is just say 80-85% on the eve of the season opener against the Browns, should the Bengals rest him for the first game or two, if not longer?

4. What is the case for the Bills to be the team to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC as opposed to the Bengals?

5. With Dan Snyder now (finally) out of the picture, does this whole ridiculous episode prove that Jim Irsay is now the worst owner in the NFL? If Jonathan Taylor is either traded or doesn't play this season, do you fear his absence will stunt the growth of Anthony Richardson?

6. If the Commanders offense doesn't gel quickly, do you see this as a situation where the wheels fall off fast given Ron Rivera's comments about Eric Bieniemy?

7. The Tennessee Titans are doing something very interesting for their preseason opener against the Bears. On Friday and Saturday (which is the day of the game), HC Mike Vrabel will transfer head coaching duties to Assistant Head Coach/DL coach Terrell Williams, who's regarded as a promising potential HC in league circles. I am personally a big fan of what Vrabel is doing here. So my question is Hal, should the NFL require every team to give one of their assistant coaches, especially a minority, a chance to build their resume by letting him be the acting head coach in a preseason game?

8. What are you watching for in the Texans/Patriots game tonight?

9. What are the main things you’ll be paying attention to in the rest of this week’s preseason slate?
