Here's everything you need to know about the NFL for June 23.

Owens was one of the best defensive backs in franchise history for Washington. Over the course of his 12-year career, he picked off 36 passes, which is still the second-most in team history. Although we know the Patriots will be wearing red in 2022, we don't know when. Following the 2012 season season, the NFL implemented a one-helmet rule, which meant that teams had to stick with one helmet color for the entire season. The Patriots could have worn red at any point over the past 10 years, but the team didn't want to do it unless it could also wear its Pat Patriots helmet with it, but that wasn't possible due to the NFL's one-helmet rule. Several of them released a photo that was taken on Snyder's yacht near Cannes, France. The photo includes the hashtag "workwithprettypeople," which probably isn't the best hashtag to be using when your franchise is being investigated for possible sexual misconduct allegations in the workplace (Youcan see the photo here). The NFL did release a written report for theDolphins' bullying scandal and another one for Deflategate, but for some reason, the league refused to release one for this incident. After ranking the NFL's top 10 offensive tackles on Wednesday, we're going to move inside and rank interior offensive linemen for today. The 2000 Ravens defense is one of the best in NFL history and Siragusa played a big part of in that. Siragusa was also one of the reasons that "Hard Knocks" took off as a TV show. From 2003 to 2015, Siragusa worked for Fox Sports covering the NFL. As if that's not enough, he also took several acting roles that included appearances in both "The Sopranos" and Spike Lee's "25th Hour." According to a storyfrom the Washington Post, Siragusa only ended up getting a contract from the Colts after selling himself as backup long snapper, which is probably why he ended up getting backup long snapper money. The former defensive tackle spent 12 years in the NFL and ended up winning a Super Bowl ring in 2000 with the Ravens.
