Ravens Work Out Eddie Lacy
The Ravens worked out running back Eddie Lacy on Thursday, according to Mike Florio of PFT. Lacy was out of the NFL last season, but he’s looking to get back in the game.

Lacy, 29 in June, was the league’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and dazzled with his powerful running style in his younger days. Unfortunately, he hasn’t done much as of late. Lacy’s weight issues held him back over his final two years with the Packers and he averaged just 2.6 yards with the Seahawks in 2017.
The Ravens could give Lacy a prime opportunity to reassert himself as a go-to ball carrier. However, it’s not clear if Lacy has his weight in check. If signed by the Ravens or another NFL team, Lacy is likely to have incentives and stipulations built into his deal to encourage keeping the pounds off.
Colts Re-Sign J’Marcus Webb
The Colts re-signed tackle J’Marcus Webb, according to a club announcement. Details on the deal are not yet known.
Webb hooked on with the Colts in July of last year after a rash of injuries decimated their offensive line. Webb wound up as the club’s Week 1 starter, but a hamstring injury suffered in that game brought his season to an early end.
Despite injuries to Webb, Denzelle Good, Anthony Castonzo, and others, the Colts’ offensive line turned in a brilliant season. The Colts allowed just 18 sacks in 2018, the fewest in the league. They also had an impressive streak of allowing zero sacks on Andrew Luck 239 consecutive snaps, spanning across five games.
Webb, 31 in August, has 65 career starts to his credit between stops with the Bears, Vikings, Raiders, Seahawks, and Colts.
Cardinals’ Josh Rosen To Show For Workouts
Despite being the subject of trade rumors, Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen is expected to report to and participate in the start of the team’s offseason workout program on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears. Other players rumored to be on the block have declined to report to workouts this offseason, but Rosen is apparently taking a business-as-usual approach. 
The Cardinals, armed with the No. 1 overall pick, are rumored to be smitten with Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray. However, the Cardinals are still exploring other top prospects such as Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, so nothing is set in stone. It’s also possible the Cardinals could draft Murray and keep Rosen until they find a suitable deal for the UCLA product.
Statistically, Rosen had a lousy rookie year, but the Cardinals traded up from No. 15 to land him at No. 10 for a reason. Just one year ago, Rosen was considered to be one of the best QB prospects in the country, and the Cardinals are unlikely to give him away in a trade. If the Giants or other interested teams want to acquire him, it could cost them some significant draft capital.
Browns To Sign Morgan Burnett
The Browns are set to sign former Packers and Steelers safety Morgan Burnett, as Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com tweets. The veteran was not happy with the way he was used in Pittsburgh last year, but he’ll now have an opportunity to compete for the club’s starting job at strong safety. Burnett will receive a two-year deal that can max out at roughly $9MM, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
The Browns’ filled a need at wide receiver when they acquired Odell Beckham Jr. from the Giants, but they also created a need at strong safety by giving up Jabrill Peppers in the deal. They got even more thin at safety recently when they released Derrick Kindred, so Burnett should have an opportunity to shine in Cleveland. He’ll duke it out with Eric Murray, who just came over in the Emmanuel Ogbah deal with the Chiefs, for the right to play opposite of free safety Damarious Randall, his former Packers teammate.
The club also plans to sign former AAF quarterback Garrett Gilbert, Cabot adds (Twitter link). Before he was displaced by the spring league’s abrupt stoppage, Gilbert spent time with the Rams, Patriots, Lions, Raiders, and Panthers. He has just three career passes in the NFL, but evaluators regarded him as one of the best QBs in the AAF.
Raiders Work Out Charcandrick West
The Raiders worked out running back Charcandrick West, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). As previously reported, the club also worked out fellow running back Robert Turbin on Thursday, but Rapoport hears that both players will be in wait-and-see mode until after the draft. 
West, 28 in June, enjoyed his most productive campaign in 2015, when he managed 160 carries for 634 yards and four touchdowns. In 2016 and 2017, however, his rushing role with Kansas City declined. While he played more than 500 offensive snaps from 2016-17, West handled only 106 total carries in that span. Last year, he hooked on with KC towards the end of the year, but had only two carries for -1 yard.
Oakland is in the process of revamping its backfield, as both Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin are currently in free agent limbo. Last week, the Raiders agreed to a one-year deal with Isaiah Crowell, who looks to be the favorite for early-down touches. Restricted free agent Jalen Richard — tendered at the second-round level — will likely handle passing down work, while DeAndre Washington, Chris Warren, and James Butler comprise the rest of Oakland’s running back depth chart.
Seahawks Sign Cassius Marsh
Cassius Marsh is heading back to the team that drafted him. On Thursday, Marsh agreed to a one-year deal with the Seahawks, as Brady Henderson of ESPN.com writes. 
Marsh was displaced in March when the 49ers acquired Dee Ford. By cutting the left outside linebacker, the Niners saved $4.7MM against the cap with just $900K left over in dead money.
Marsh, who turns 27 in July, will help to fill one of the Seahawks’ biggest needs. Last year, Marsh amassed 5.5 sacks, bringing his career total to 11.5 across 68 games. He also saw action on roughly 50% of the 49ers’ special teams plays a year ago, and has nearly reached the 80% ST threshold in prior seasons.
Marsh was unhappy during his nine-game stint with the Patriots and didn’t win much with the Niners last year, but he now has an opportunity to thrive opposite of Frank Clark.
AAF Players Free To Sign With NFL Teams
On Thursday, it was reported that players from the AAF were not yet permitted to sign with NFL clubs. Soon after, the AAF formally announced that its players are now eligible to join the country’s premier football league.
Initially, the AAF’s players were in a holding pattern – although the league suspended operations, their contracts were not yet officially terminated, which barred them from signing with the NFL. The AAF, which has taken a great deal of flack for leaving its players in limbo, moved quickly to 86 those contracts and allow them to seek employment elsewhere.
The move likely won’t undo the hard feelings. Many of the AAF’s players were reliant on housing accommodations made by the league and were kicked out of their hotels soon after the league pressed the pause button. They also won’t be paid out for the remainder of the season, which still had two regular season games and a postseason on the docket.
But, on the plus side, ex-AAF players will be able to work out and sign with NFL teams before rosters are further packed with the incoming draft class. Former NFL players such as quarterback Garrett Gilbert, running back Zac Stacy, wide receivers Charles Johnson and Jalin Marshall, and defensive end Damontre Moore could draw interest from teams in the coming days.
Josh Sitton Retires From NFL
Josh Sitton is calling it a career. On Thursday, the four-time Pro Bowl guard announced his retirement from the NFL. 
In an interview on ESPN Wisconsin, Sitton dropped a double dose of major news. First, he announced the birth of his son. Then, he told the radio hosts that he was done with football.
Sitton, an 11-year vet, spent the first eight years of his career with the Packers. That run came to an end just before the 2016 season when the Packers made the surprising decision to release him. The next day, he inked a three-year, $21.75MM deal with the rival Bears. That deal was terminated after two seasons, leading to him signing with the Dolphins last year as a free agent.
Throughout his Packers tenure, Sitton was known for his toughness and durability. However, injuries have held him back in recent seasons. With the Bears, he still managed to play at a high level, but he missed six games across his two seasons in Chicago. Then, last year, he suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 that sidelined him for the rest of the year.
Sitton is the fourth former Packers Pro Bowler to retire this offseason, joining fellow guard T.J. Lang, receiver Jordy Nelson and fullback John Kuhn. We here at PFR wish Sitton the best in retirement.
Bengals RB Mark Walton Arrested
Bengals running back Mark Walton has been arrested for the third time in three months, according to Miami-Dade court records. The former University of Miami standout was cuffed on felony charges of carrying a concealed firearm, resisting an officer without violence, possession of marijuana, and reckless driving in connection with a high-speed chase in March. 
Walton, authorities say, was weaving in and out of traffic in his rented car. Eventually, Walton pulled over in the front yard of a home and initially complied with orders to fall to the ground. However, he quickly sprang up and took off running. Cops used a stun gun to try and subdue Walton, but he took off the prongs and fled the scene. When officers searched Walton’s car, they found 14 grams of marijuana, a 9 mm carbine rifle and several fully loaded clips.
This comes on the heels of two other incidents – Walton was charged with misdemeanor battery after a February skirmish with a neighbor was also arrested for marijuana possession in January. The 2018 fourth-round pick seems very likely to face NFL discipline for his off-the-field incidents and his future with the Bengals could be in jeopardy.
Despite injuries, showed serious promise with the Hurricanes, including a sophomore season in which he topped 1,100 yards on the ground and scored 14 touchdowns. Last year, however, he had just 14 carries for 34 yards as he played behind Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard.
NFL Teams Can’t Sign AAF Players
The Alliance of American Football suspended operations for the season and its future is very much in doubt. Still, the league’s players are not yet free agents by NFL standards, Mike Florio of PFT hears.
Multiple sources tell Florio the NFL has instructed teams to refrain from talking to AAF players or their representatives. Furthermore, any team that violates that order may be in jeopardy of losing draft picks.
As of this writing, the AAF player contracts are still in tact, even though they will not be playing in any more games for the league and will not be paid going forward. Therefore, NFL teams cannot negotiate with those players until the contracts are technically breached.
The AAF isn’t exactly star-studded, but the league does/did have a handful of players who could be on the NFL radar. Players like quarterback Garrett Gilbert, running back Zac Stacy, wide receivers Charles Johnson and Jalin Marshall, and defensive end Damontre Moore will have to wait until they’re out of contractual limbo before exploring their next chance in the NFL.
