First & Ten: 10 Thoughts on What is Going on in the Football World

Life lesson with Jameis was a major flop.  By John Sarianides  1. Jameis Winston has matured a lot over the last two years but he still has a lot of growing up to do. The Bucs might want to limit his speaking engagements.  2. Does Bears GM Ryan Pace know that Jay Cutler is untradeable? Yes. I made up a word to describe Cutler’s non-existent trade value.
