Former Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted publicly to domestic violence for the first time during an interview with Good Morning America, as Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com writes. However, he insisted that he never hit her. Brown, 37, still wants to return to the NFL, but he admits that he’s not sure if he’ll get that chance. On Wednesday, commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters that Brown‘s domestic violence investigation remains open.

- There’s lots of speculation about Tony Romo‘s future, but former NFL coach Mike Singletary believes that his best bet is to stay pat with the Cowboys. “If I’m Tony Romo, I better stay here in Dallas,” Singletary told 105.3 The Fan (link via SportsDayDFW.com). “Let me put it this way: You’re the backup, but that is the best job in the NFL if you’re a backup on the Dallas Cowboys. I think they have one of the best lines, they’ve got a great running game.” The Broncos are said to be Romo’s ideal landing spot and they could pursue him in free agency, if he is available. The Texans are likely to draft a quarterback this year, but they won’t be targeting Romo.
- Mark Bullock of The Washington Post ran down 3-4 defensive ends that could be in play for the Redskins at different price levels. He starts by listing Kawann Short, a high-priced option who lines up as a three-technique defensive tackle in Carolina’s system. Value options for Washington could include Nick Fairley and Bennie Logan. The Redskins reportedly will target Logan in March, if Philly does not re-sign him before that point.
- Is center Jason Kelce on the chopping block? When given an opportunity to dispel rumors, executive vice president Howie Roseman didn’t exactly shoot down the rumors. By cutting Kelce, the Eagles would open up $3.8MM in cap space for 2017.
