Rich Eisen· Mar 3, 2025

Delivering his annual "top five rumors I heard at the combine," Eisen said Dallas will re-sign pass rusher Osa Odighizuwa, that Minnesota's plan A is bringing Sam Darnold back on a multi-year deal, and that Indianapolis wants Daniel Jones as competition for Anthony Richardson.

“There's no question he's gonna have a star on the side of his helmet.”
