After finishing his latest free-agent visit with Carolina on Friday, six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy will reportedly decide on his 2019 team among three suitors: the Panthers, the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star will mull over his final three options this weekend.
Several media outlets reported Thursday that McCoy, 31, finished up a two-day visit with Baltimore after having also visited the Cleveland Browns last week, days after his release by the Buccaneers.
McCoy, the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, was released by the Buccaneers on May 20 with three years left on his contract. The deal called for him to make $13 million in base pay this season. 
The original contract was for six years and $95.2 million. The Tampa Bay Times reported McCoy has drawn bids from 10 teams with offers as high as $11 million annually.
Rapoport reported on Wednesday that McCoy was seeking more than $10 million from the Browns and Ravens but apparently didn’t get it.
“The Ravens absolutely want to sign McCoy,” Rapoport said on the NFL Network. “They had him visit with the intention of signing him, but this is also one of the more principled and disciplined organisations when it comes to money, so they’re not going to do something that is out of their price range.”
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said recently he’d be interested in adding McCoy to the roster. 
“I think a guy with his ability could come in and help most certainly,” Rivera told reporters.
McCoy has 296 tackles, 54.5 sacks, 140 quarterback hits, six forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 123 career games. Along with his six Pro Bowls, he was named first-team All-Pro in 2013. Last season McCoy failed to make the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2011 despite extending his streak of seven seasons with at least five sacks, the NFL’s longest active streak among defensive tackles. McCoy finished with 6.0 sacks and 28 tackles in 14 games for the Buccaneers in 2018.
Meanwhile the NFL suspended quarterback Chad Kelly for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy on Friday. 
The Indianapolis Colts signed Kelly this offseason, and if he makes the team, he won’t be eligible to play in a regular season game until September 16. Under the suspension, Kelly can take part in offseason practices, training camp and preseason games.
He last played for the Denver Broncos and was released in October 2018 on the heels of an arrest for criminal trespass. 
Englewood (Colo.) Police Department said a man had entered a residence on South Lincoln Street one morning shortly after 1 a.m. 
An occupant at the residence chased the man out, and a search ensued. Kelly had been attending a Halloween party at teammate Von Miller’s house prior to the late-night incident.
At the time, he was the Broncos’ No 2 quarterback behind Case Keenum. Kelly, 25, has no guarantee to be more than a training camp arm. 
The Colts are locked into their top two quarterbacks, Andrew Luck and Jacoby Brissett, and Phillip Walker is currently listed behind them on the depth chart.
Charges dropped against 
free-agent TE Griffin
Charges against former Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin were dismissed Friday, two weeks after the team released him following his arrest in Nashville, Tenn.
Griffin, 29, was charged with vandalism and public intoxication on April 26, the night of the second and third rounds of the NFL draft, which was held in Nashville. 
He allegedly punched a hotel window and sustained a bloody left hand in the incident. He was released a day later on $1,750 bond, with a court date set for Friday.
The Houston Chronicle reported the charges were dismissed at a settlement conference. Griffin was assessed $195 in court costs.
Griffin was entering the final year of a three-year, $9 million extension signed in March 2017. 
He was set to count $2.7 million against the cap, but Houston will save all of that figure.
A sixth-round pick by the Texans in 2013, Griffin had 24 catches for 305 yards in 14 games (11 starts) last season. 
Through six seasons, he has 136 catches for 1,491 yards and seven scores in 77 games (36 starts).
