"I saw his tweet, just like you did," Brees said Tuesday. "I think that's just frustration a little bit, just because, they draft a guy at your position, but I think the message that was sent to him was, 'By no means look at that as the fact that you're getting shown the door, that we don't want you or anything like that.'

AROUND THE LEAGUE:

Eighth circuit grants NFL’s request for expedited hearing | ProFootballTalk

Same judges who are handling stay request will handle appeal | ProFootballTalk

If both judges find that the stay should be granted, there will be a whole lot of nothing going on in the NFL between now and the resolution of the appeal.

Packers move forward with Super Bowl rings, despite lockout | ProFootballTalk
In March, Bill Pennington of the New York Times reported that the Packers had not yet ordered Super Bowl rings, because they were not able to consult with the players regarding the design of the rings.

Fox: Broncos will address defensive tackle, running back in free agency | ProFootballTalk
