Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians compared rookie quarterback Kyle Trask to former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who Arians worked with as a rookie.

Cameron Champ Unplayable At Memorial Tournament

Cameron Champ has missed back-to-back cuts on tour and hasn't looked good doing it.

Packers Restructure Robert Tonyan's Deal

The Green Bay Packers made a rare maneuver with tight end Robert Tonyan, treating most of his $3.384 million restricted free-agent tender as a bonus for salary cap purposes.
