Welcome to the St. Patrick’s Day edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
It’s a good thing the NCAA Tournament started yesterday, because NFL free agency was starting to put me to sleep. During the first week of free agency last year, we saw Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams and Russell Wilson get traded. This year, it’s like NFL teams forgot that trades are legal.
Of course, if free agency is slow today, that’s more than fine, because it will give me more time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and to also celebrate the five-year anniversary of the time Rob Gronkowski showed up at my Bachelor Party dressed as a giant leprechaun (Yes, this actually happened.

- Daniel Jones. “The Giants are really betting on their medical staff this year with the signing of three offensive weapons who have all battled serious and/or persistent injuries in recent years (the re-signing of Saquon Barkley, plus the additions of Darren Waller, Parris Campbell). … The young QB has more playmakers at his disposal — not to mention a big raise courtesy his own $160M extension.”
- Sean Payton. “Regardless of what happens with Russell Wilson, the Broncos’ new…
