Kennedy, an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro selection, spent his entire 11-year NFL career with the Seahawks, who have retired his No. 96 jersey. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

All season long, we have been raking it in on DraftKings and FanDuel by targeting sleepers, under-the-radar value plays, and high-upside dart throws. We scour the DK and FD player pools to pinpoint the best investments based on matchups and stat trends. By capitalizing on affordable sleepers in certain DFS roster spots, we leave ourselves the budget to greatly improve other roster spots with weekly studs. Let’s face it, in order to afford a Travis Kelce ($7,900 on DK), you must invest in the occasional DeAndre Carter ($3,900)....

This year, with DraftKings Billion Dollar promotion, there has been extra attention on trying to obtain the perfect lineup, which sadly no one was able to accomplish. Even without the promotion, I can’t stress enough how important it is to review each week. I understand combing through the information and recognizing what is useful versus what is noise can be tedious, but that’s why I’m here, bringing you this piece every week of the 2017 season....

Here is look at which NFL teams will be represented this weekend at a slew of top college football games. MORE: SN’s latest mock draft Virginia at No. 3 Miami — Arizona Cardinals (Terry McDonough, vice president of player personnel) — Baltimore Ravens (Andrew Raphael, scout) — Carolina Panthers (Marty Hurney, interim general manager) — Indianapolis Colts (Morocco Brown, director of college scouting) — Philadelphia Eagles (Andy Weidl, assistant director of player personnel)...

The Oakland Raiders, rebuilding on both sides of the ball, were thankful that the four teams ahead of them passed, and they grabbed Mack, the versatile outside linebacker, at fifth overall on Thursday night. LIVE DRAFT BOARD: Follow every first-round pick on the Draft Board Mack was virtually unstoppable as a senior and impossible for offenses to stay away from. He totaled 100 tackles, 10 1/2 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles and three interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns....

It was late in the second round before any running back was drafted, Washington's Bishop Sankey going 54th overall to the Titans. That's the latest in the history of the draft. And while running back picks gained steam immediately thereafter, with LSU's Jeremy Hill drafted 55th by the Bengals and Ohio State's Carlos Hyde going 57th to the 49ers, the message is louder than ever. Running backs will never mean what they once did to the NFL....

Davis, who will announce the team’s first-round pick in Philadelphia, doesn’t want Carolina to waste the selection on another linebacker. And he’s willing to take matters into his own hands if they decide to go that route. MORE: Latest NFL Draft rumors Davis does make some good points: The Panthers already have a combined six Pro Bowls between him and Luke Kuechly. Carolina also has third-year pro Shaq Thompson, who was the team’s first-round pick in 2015....

Mark Korte is the next one trying to make a name for himself at the next level. The offensive lineman from Spruce Grove, Alberta has football in his blood and always had the goal of continuing that family trend. His father played defensive end for the University of Alberta and his older brother was the next to follow suit, as a linebacker for the Golden Bears, two years ahead of Korte....

Oakland has the No. 4 pick and it might be considering selecting a quarterback, according to an NFL Network report. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported: Carr, 28, has spent his entire career in Oakland. He threw for a career high 4,049 yards in 2018, but also tallied a career-low 19 touchdown passes. The signal-caller ranked 12th in passing yards and 21st in touchdown passes last season. The Raiders offense could use some improvement, as it ranked 22nd in the NFL after its latest campaign....

So, knowing that, we kept track of all the trades that happen throughout the draft. And we’ll warn you, there were a ton of trades. Recapping all the trades of the 2019 NFL Draft Day 1 First Round The Steelers acquire the No. 10 pick from the Broncos and take inside linebacker Devin Bush out of Michigan. The Broncos received the No. 20 pick along with No. 52 and a third-round pick in 2020....

The LSU quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner was a shoo-in to become the first quarterback drafted with the first No. 1 overall pick by the Bengals since they selected Carson Palmer in 2002 and so it proved, with Burrow the opening name called out by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The Washington Redskins selected Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young with the second pick but don’t have a second-round pick....

Starting on Thursday, all the mock drafts, predicted picks and speculation as to who will be the next wave of NFL talent will be put on hold as phone calls are made and lives are changed forever. Unlike in past years, this draft doesn’t feel so cut and dry. There’s no consensus No. 1 overall prospect like there was last year in Trevor Lawrence, who was taken first by the Jaguars, and the draft has been praised more often for its depth than its star talent at the top....

Saban’s own time in the league is remembered primarily for his unsuccessful stint as Dolphins head coach in 2005 and ‘06. It’s actually in the aftermath where Saban has made a greater impact on both the pro and college games. The NFL is now flooded with players Saban has produced since he left the AFC East and became the Crimson Tide’s version of Bill Belichick. All but five NFL teams (Dallas, Minnesota, Carolina, Pittsburgh and Cleveland) have at least one Alabama gridiron alumnus on their rosters....

The deal doesn’t allow the league to stream entire games (which was rumored in 2013), but the NFL will upload in-game footage.

Indianapolis recently worked out veterans Matt Cassel and Brandon Weeden, according to a report from NFL Network, which cites unidentified league sources. The team also has visited with Brock Osweiler. Cassel has started 81 games over his 14-year career and made two appearances as a backup for the Lions last season. Weeden, meanwhile, was a first-round pick in the 2012 draft but has played more than 14 games in a season just once ⁠— as a rookie with the Browns....

The Boston Herald reports Wilfork has already cleaned out his locker with the team, including removing his nameplate from the front of it. That’s a pretty good indication he’s moving on from New England after being the run-stuffing linchpin of Bill Belichick’s defense for a long time. The five-time Pro Bowler is coming off a season-ending injury (torn Achlles’ tendon) at 31, and the price tag makes him expendable in the Patriots’ eyes....
