Chiefs reach deal with ex-Seahawks safety Tedric Thompson
Thompson becomes the second veteran free agent added by the Chiefs on the eve of training camp, joining guard Kelechi Osemele, who agreed to a contract with the team after Laurent Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 season.
Thompson provides insurance for the Chiefs at free safety with Juan Thornhill recovering from a torn ACL, which he suffered last December. The Seattle Seahawks waived Thompson on May 31 with a failed physical designation. His 2019 season ended after six games because of a shoulder injury that required labrum surgery. Thompson, 25, was a fourth-round pick by Seattle in 2017 and was up and down in 16 starts over the past two seasons after taking over for Earl Thomas at free safety.

Source: NFL eyes virtual fans in stadiums for game days
The NFL utilized the practice during the virtual draft in April and has a similar template available in the absence of real fans. The NBA has found success with a similar model for its game action in its bubble on the Walt Disney World Resort campus in Florida.

Jake Fromm looks to make amends after 'elite white people' text
Buffalo Bilis quarterback Jake Fromm insists that text messages in which he said " only elite white people" should be able to purchase guns are not indicative of his character, nor do they represent the way he was raised. "That's not where my heart is," Fromm said Friday, speaking to local media for the first time since screenshots of the conversation emerged in June. "The one thing that I want to do here on this earth is love God and love people, and I fell short of that. I want to make amends and really be better from here on out so that I can earn their trust and really bring something to this football team." The text conversation between Fromm and a childhood friend occurred in March 2019. On the topic of guns, he wrote, "But no guns are good. They need to let me get suppressors," before adding, "Just make them very expensive so only elite white people can get them haha."

Lions trade CB Michael Jackson to Patriots for 2022 draft pick
The Detroit Lions traded cornerback Michael Jackson to the New England Patriots on Sunday, hours after announcing plans to release the veteran. In return, the Lions receive a conditional 2022 seventh-round pick in the NFL draft, a source told ESPN's Mike Reiss. Jackson played in one game for Detroit last season, a 19-16 loss at Washington, where he played two special teams snaps. Detroit had claimed him off waivers in September 2019, after he was cut by Dallas. Trading Jackson clears up part of one of the deepest positions the Lions have on the roster with a handful of cornerbacks still competing for backup jobs behind likely starters Desmond Trufant, Jeff Okudah and Justin Coleman. This is the sixth trade, not including in-draft moves, between the Lions and Patriots since Bob Quinn took over as general manager in January 2016.

NFL declines option to reinstate its full-time officiating program for 2020
The NFL has declined an option to reinstate its full-time officiating program for 2020, the final decision in a series of previously unreported twists during the past four months, according to multiple sources. As a result, officials will continue to work as part-time employees, a setback for many league decision-makers who view the program as a path toward better and more consistent officiating. The league operated a full-time program for officials in 2017 and 2018 but shelved it for the 2019 season while negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Referees Association. The new deal, signed last fall, provided for the program to continue if the participants received salaries that were roughly commensurate with full-time officials in other sports leagues. According to sources, the league activated its option in May to convert approximately 10 officials to full-time status. But last week, it informed the NFLRA that it had reversed the decision. The league cited costs in explaining the decision, according to NFLRA executive director Scott Green.

NFL puts some teams on hold while looking into COVID-19 tests from New Jersey lab
The NFL is working Sunday to assess a series of positive COVID-19 results that have all been traced to the same laboratory in New Jersey, raising concerns about the efficacy of the testing program established to minimize spread of the disease. "Saturday's daily COVID testing returned several positives tests from each of the clubs serviced by the same laboratory in New Jersey," the NFL said in a statement Sunday morning. "We are working with our testing partner, BioReference, to investigate these results, while the clubs work to confirm or rule out the positive tests." The Chicago Bears announced they received nine positive results from their Saturday test regimen. All nine were determined to be false positive results, meaning none were actual indications of infection. The Bears moved back their morning practice to Sunday afternoon "out of an abundance of caution" while they sorted through them.

Lawyers for ex-Washington employees call for NFL's own probe, Dan Snyder discipline
In a letter sent to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, lawyers representing more than a dozen former employees of the Washington Football Team requested an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment during their time with the organization and that owner Daniel Snyder be suspended pending the outcome. On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported additional allegations of sexual harassment within the organization and that a former team executive instructed employees to create a behind-the-scenes video for Snyder featuring clips of partially nude team cheerleaders pulled from a 2008 swimsuit calendar shoot. In a statement Wednesday, Goodell condemned the behavior and cited an independent investigation. Based on Goodell's input, Snyder picked attorney Beth Wilkinson to head it. The Post said that 25 former employees came forward for its latest report, joining 15 others who were part of a story in the newspaper last month that detailed other allegations against former Washington executives.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll implores coaches, white people to listen to Black people
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll delivered a passionate monologue during his news conference Saturday, speaking for more than 14 minutes about the need for white people to gain a better understanding of racism in America. "They don't know enough, and they need to be coached up and they need to be educated about what the heck is going on in this world," Carroll said.The Seahawks decided after a lengthy team meeting not to practice Saturday. Carroll was not scheduled to speak with reporters but did so after a last-minute change to the team's media availability. He began by acknowledging Jackie Robinson Day and saying he wanted to talk "about some stuff that's on my heart." "Black people can't scream anymore," Carroll said, "they can't march anymore, they can't bare their souls anymore to what they've lived with for hundreds of years because white guys came over from Europe and started a new country with a great idea and great ideals and wrote down great writings and laws and all of that, about democracy and freedom and equality for all, and ... that's not what happened because we went down this other road here.
