Peyton Manning realizes Drew Brees is coming for his career passing yards record, and he said the Saints quarterback deserves it.

I don’t think it’s a matter of if, it’s just a matter of when, Manning told NOLA.com on Friday during the Manning Passing Academy. He deserves it. He’s been a great player for a long time.

After the 2015 season, Manning retired with 71,940 career passing yards and 539 touchdown passes — which are both all-time NFL records.

One concern for the cheerleaders may be FLSA findings involving the Oakland Raiders and their cheerleaders, the Raiderettes. In 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor concluded that the Raiderettes are seasonal workers under the FLSA. Seasonal workers, who are exempt from the FLSA, are employees of amusement and recreational businesses that operate for seven months or fewer during the year. Whether this classification is appropriate can be debated: NFL teams operate throughout the year and between tryouts, practices, games and various public appearances, cheerleaders are engaged in many months of work.

The team is due for an upgrade: It has trained at the facility at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, since 1993. The facility has undergone renovations and improvements, including the addition of an indoor practice field in 2006, but it doesn’t compare to the new facilities around the league.

Many in the Dolphins’ organization have yearned for years to have all team employees closer together. Currently, the ticketing and business staffs work at the stadium in Miami Gardens while football operations are up the turnpike in Davie.

If the Dolphins elect to move to Miami Gardens, owner Stephen Ross’ total investment in his stadium property will top $600 million since 2015, according to Beasley.

In this week’s mailbag, looking at how much stock to put into Michigan and Notre Dame’s Week 1 showdown, which teams have the best offensive lines heading into 2018 and thoughts on ordering in food for tailgating.

I often say dumb things, but this week’s first question reminded me of one of the dumbest things I’ve said in the past few years. It also provided an excellent reminder…

I felt reasonably confident saying that because we all thought Notre Dame was going to be quite good, and if Notre Dame was good, that meant Texas—which had just beaten Notre Dame—also would be good. Both teams made me look very stupid. The Fighting Irish went 4–8 and Brian Kelly overhauled the bulk of his coaching staff. Texas went 5–7—including a loss at Kansas—and Strong was fired.

Chris Nowinski is the co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation. Nowinksi, as told to SI senior writer Greg Bishop, reacts to SI’s story and documentary on Tyler Hilinski, a Washington State quarterback who committed suicide in January. Hilinski’s family later found out that Tyler had Stage I chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE.

I wish I was more surprised by the diagnosis. One thing I consistently struggle with is that nearly all of the college and professional football players whose brains we’ve looked at had the disease. And even if you factor in who the sample is coming from, families should not be right 95% of the time at guessing this.

This is the third active college football player that we know about that had CTE. We’ve seen CTE in football players who just played a few seasons. So we don’t know where the floor is. But it’s safe to assume that one season of football in theory could give you CTE. The risk is not zero after one season. It just goes up each additional year you play.

I truly regret my incredibly poor judgment and inexcusable actions. Everyone associated with the NFL and its teams is held to a high standard of behavior and I obviously failed to meet that, Keim said in a statement.

I sincerely apologize to our organization and its fans as well as to my family. I accept full responsibility for my actions and hold myself completely accountable. Moving forward, I will take the steps to ensure that I never put myself or the Cardinals in this type of situation again.

The Bears will incorporate some two-tight sets with second-year player Adam Shaheen ready to raise his game. Big and strong, the 2017 second-round pick also provides a little wiggle and good hands, making him the easy inline front-runner over Dion Sims.

Compared to the targets to whom he threw last year, Trubisky suddenly is rich with options all over the field and for every game situation.

At this point, the only thing Schneider, Carroll and other team and league office execs can do is continue their efforts to keep such players out of harm’s way as much as possible in order to prevent situations such as that of Chancellor.

The Rams made one of the largest turnarounds last season, as second-year pro Jared Goff looked like a future star at quarterback and running back Todd Gurley returned to Pro Bowl form.

But heading into the 2018 season, Los Angeles is especially confident about its receiving corps despite the loss of Sammy Watkins, who signed with the Chiefs.

We got a lot of fast guys, we’ve got big guys, we’ve got guys that can run the third-level of the route, the second-level, the first-level, passing game coordinator Shane Waldron said, via therams.com. I feel good that if any of the guys the guys that were the starters last year, [and] competing to be the starters again this year if they get tired, we feel good about those spots and hopefully we don’t miss a beat.

Some people thrive in that environment. They need that feeling of sheer terror that any mistake you make will cost you your dignity and potentially your job. Some of us don’t. We don’t respond to threats of belittling if we screw up.

So if you’re like me and don’t think your own mental well-being and winning are mutually exclusive concepts — and you have an appreciation for a little weirdness — then you’d pick Carroll.

He took the Patriots to two postseasons; at the time, that tied the franchise record for most career playoff appearances as a head coach. The problem for him is that he was succeeded by Belichick, who got at least a little bit lucky with the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft, fought through a 5-11 debut season, made some roster tweaks, and then made Carroll look like a dummy.

For every Browns employee who joined him on the jump, Jackson pledged to donate $100 to the Hue Jackson Foundation, which combats human trafficking.

The 150-person group brought the total to $15,000 from Jackson. It was matched by Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, bringing the total to $30,000.

After a productive offseason, there’s reason to be optimistic about the future of the Browns, and to believe that a page will actually be turned. But if the team finishes 0-16 or 1-15 again, don’t expect Jackson to be on the payroll for another jump into Lake Erie.

Here are a few of our own laughably bad ones.

But the Browns were even worse in 2017, becoming just the second team in NFL history to finish a season 0-16. So on Friday, Jackson held up his end of the promise he made 18 months earlier and marched into Lake Erie with a huge group of team employees — including Browns owner Dee Haslam.

Four bills are currently being debated in Michigan based on state regulation of sports betting. HB 4060 would allow wagers within state limits, but only after a successful referendum with voters. HB 4926, authored and amended back in 2017, would regulate and authorize both sports and online betting following the repeal of PASPA — while charging an inexpensive $200,000 for gaming licenses. Both will likely be heard in upcoming sessions.

I have reached out to T.O., texted him, been in touch, and that will remain private, but the point was I wanted him to be good, I wanted him to be all right, Dawkins said. It is his choice.

Not a lot of people get to this position and into the Hall of Fame. For me, my point is to be appreciative to others … I’ve got to watch it, cause I’m getting into my speech for the Hall now. But when you are blessed and play this game and get to this point, there are so many people who have helped you get there. And you just like to get the chance to give the credit to them.

In one of our earliest interviews at the 49ers’ complex, he insisted we conduct it in my rental car. In the 49ers’ parking lot. First, inside the car, then outside the car, hanging out. He said he wanted to breathe.

It was of little surprise he announced he will skip his Hall of Fame induction Aug. 3 in Canton, Ohio. He said he will find another way, another place to celebrate. He could change his mind. I hope he does.

Because what he covets, he could find in Canton.

History suggests the punishment will pay off. The past two times Baltimore got dinged by the league during the preseason, it saw a three-game improvement from the previous year. In 2010, a violation of collective bargaining agreement offseason rules forced a week of cancellations at June OTAs. That fall, the Ravens went from 9-7 to 12-4, losing the AFC North title to the Steelers in a tiebreaker.

In 2016, Harbaugh and his team drew even bigger fines — $137,223 and $343,057, respectively — for a similar violation. Seven months later, his team improved from 5-11 to 8-8.

A similar leap would put Baltimore firmly in contention for a division title. The Ravens went 9-7 last season while gifting a playoff berth to the Bills by losing their Week 17 game against the Bengals. Upping that total to 12 would ensure not even a final-game meltdown could derail the team’s playoff hopes.

But while Baltimore was penalized for breaking rules in their pass coverage drills, it may want to focus more on the other side of the ball. The Ravens won nine games despite starting the league’s least-efficient quarterback in 2017. Joe Flacco’s 5.7 yards per pass was the lowest among qualified starters last season, somehow worse than Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer.

The Bruins will be fine. The Lightning will be fine. The Islanders? Not so much. Examining the aftermath for all the jilted suitors.

We’re keeping track of every notable signing and trade throughout the offseason right here, with a signing tracker and expert grades.

San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson, who cleared cap space and boasted a championship-ready roster, thanked his own world-class players who have continually chosen to bypass a chance at unrestricted free agency in recent years because they want to play in San Jose. (Of course, this is the same team that lost Patrick Marleau to free agency last summer).

The Jets were saddled with 16 restricted free agents to take care of, including 12 for whom they made qualifying offers. They also need to figure out an extension for Patrik Laine. Even still, GM Kevin Cheveldayoff found a way to clear cap space — via a stealth unloading of Steve Mason’s bloated contract to the Canadiens — with the goal of retaining their trade-deadline rental, Paul Stastny. After all, Stastny was terrific with the Jets, especially through the playoffs, as a complement to Laine on the second line.

The Dodgers staked Kershaw to a 3-1 lead before he departed after five innings because of a pitch limit.

He’s that good where he can rehab in the big leagues, Rizzo said. It’s amazing.

The Cubs jumped on reliever Walker Buehler (4-2), who arrived earlier in the morning from Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he had been set for a rehab assignment. Albert Almora Jr. homered on Buehler’s second pitch and Russell’s sacrifice fly tied it at 3 in the sixth.

Some bad pitches to good hitters, Buehler lamented.

The Capitals found a way to make it work with the No. 1 defenseman on the market, John Carlson. They are also welcoming two of their ascending playoff performers back — Devante Smith-Pelly and Michal Kempny — while fending off suitors who were willing to offer more in money and term. Washington returns essentially the same exact roster next season; in the salary cap era, this is something that has proved incredibly difficult for Cup winners (see: Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks).

Sanchez is making his 271st career start. The first start of his career occurred June 25, 2006, at old Yankee Stadium when he allowed seven hits in 5 2/3 scoreless innings for the Miami Marlins against a lineup featuring Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano.

Including his major league debut, Sanchez is 4-1 with a 3.79 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees. He last faced New York on Aug. 1 with the Detroit Tigers and held the Yankees to two runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings in a 4-3 win at Yankee Stadium. It also was his last win with the Tigers.

I feel great that we have a lot of players that people like and want, Ainge said. That’s a great feeling to have. That’s not always the case, and that’s the reason we like our guys, too, is we have a lot of talent on our team. I’m excited about our team going forward.

Ainge believes Boston is a title contender as currently constituted. The Celtics took the Cavaliers to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals before bowing despite playing without stars Irving and Gordon Hayward.

Gleyber Torres hit his first career triple and scored on Andujar’s single in the second. Torres added a sacrifice fly in a four-run fourth, capped by back-to-back homers from Andujar and Bird.

Bird added a solo drive in the eighth. The Yankees lead the majors with 131 home runs.

No matter who you facing, if you miss on the plate that’s what’s going to happen, Rodriguez said.

3B/1B Brandon Drury was called up from Triple-A and likely will see action with Boston starting left-handers the rest of the weekend. Acquired from Arizona, he began the season as the starting 3B, but went on the DL in early April with blurred vision and migraines. He provides a righty-hitting option at 1B. The team considered promoting Tyler Austin, but he has back trouble.
