Jacksonville approves $1.4B renovation of Jaguars stadium
The Jacksonville City Council voted 14-1 Tuesday night to approve an agreement between the Jaguars and the city on a $1.4 billion renovation of EverBank Stadium. That brings the Jaguars one step closer to securing the long-term stability of the franchise, with the final hurdle getting the agreement approved by 24 of the NFL's 32 owners at the league's meetings in October in Atlanta. The Jaguars and the city have agreed to each contribute $625 million to the renovation, but the city also has agreed to pay $150 million over the next two seasons on maintenance and repairs to prepare the stadium for construction. That means the city will be responsible for 55% of the total cost. In addition, the agreement calls for Jaguars owner Shad Khan to be responsible for cost overruns of the renovation as well as 80.4% of the game-day expenses.

NFL tells teams it won't hold supplemental draft this year
The NFL informed its teams Wednesday that it will not be holding a supplemental draft this year, according to a league memo obtained by ESPN. It's the fourth year out of the past five in which the league has elected not to hold a supplemental draft, which is the league's right under the collective bargaining agreement. The supplemental draft, when it exists, is for players who for one reason or another were not eligible when the April draft was held. It runs for seven rounds, and any team making a selection forfeits its pick from the corresponding round in the next year's April draft. (Ergo, the Cardinals surrendered their 2020 fifth-round pick by selecting Thompson in 2019.) Bernie Kosar, Cris Carter, Terrelle Pryor and Josh Gordon are among the NFL players who have entered the league via the supplemental draft.
