Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
It’s the Ides of March, which is kind of fitting for today, because it’s definitely backstabbing season in the NFL. Between now and the start of the NFL Draft, you can’t believe anything you hear from anyone. Don’t believe the leaks you hear, don’t believe it when a general manager says they’re in love with a certain player, and well, just don’t believe anything. Everything is a smokescreen, and even things that don’t seem like a smokescreen are actually smokescreens.
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let’s get to today’s newsletter where we’ll be taking a look at Aaron Donald’s surprise retirement announcement, plus we’ll be breaking down possible landing spots for the best available free agents … or will we?!

As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. Let’s get to the rundown.

New England needs some serious help at tackle, and getting a guy as talented as Smith would certainly be an upgrade over what they have now.
- Xavien Howard: Lions. If the Lions could still use one thing in free agency, it’s a solid corner. Fortunately for Detroit, there are a few to choose from. They could try to sign Howard — who was cut by the Dolphins earlier this year — or they could look to sign Stephon Gilmore.
- Jadeveon Clowney: Panthers. Clowney has already visited with the Panthers and this move would seem to make sense for both sides. The Panthers need some pass-rushing help, they have money to…
