NFL Roundup:

According to the Miami Herald, former NFL quarterback Michael Vick allegedly owes around $1.2 million to a group of creditors. Vick’s home in Southwest Ranches, Florida is protected due to state law; however, other assets may be at risk. As updates come up, they will be included in the roundup.

ESPN ranked the most underrated player on all 32 NFL teams. The two players that stood out were Russell Gage and Antonio Gibson.

Tom Brady recruited Gage to Tampa Bay during the off-season. Gage is expected to be the third option behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin; however, tighter coverage on Evans and Godwin could open up more opportunities for Brady to target Gage. He could be in for a career year in Tampa Bay.

The Washington Commanders have a new quarterback, and that means more passing back opportunities for Antonio Gibson. Gibson may see reduced goal-line work, but he may see more targets, allowing him to work in the open field. Gibson could also be in for a career year if J.D. McKissic is utilized as a slot wide receiver instead of a passing back.
