Month: March 2018

The Cardinals have asked safety Tyrann Mathieu to take a pay cut, Mathieu told Gregg Rosenthal of NFL Media.

Mathieu said he and his agent spoke with the Cardinals on Thursday. He sounded open to a restructure but not a pay cut.

But taking money out of my pocket. I don’t like how that feels, Mathieu said.

Murray was set to make $6.5 million in salary and bonus during the 2018 season and had the same cap hit. The Titans will get all of that money back once Murray is officially off the roster.

Murray ran 184 times for 659 yards and six touchdowns last season and missed the team’s final three games with a knee injury. Derrick Henry led the Titans in rushing and will take over as the No. 1 back now that Murray will be heading elsewhere to continue his career.

Lamar Jackson isn’t a wide receiver. Not even close.

The Chicago Bears reunite new offensive line coach Harry Hiestand with his former stud pupil, Nelson, while solidifying the middle of an offense that suddenly looks potent.

Nelson is one of the two or three best players in the draft regardless of positional value. He’s massive (6’5, 329 lbs) but moves like a smaller guard. He’s tough, physical, agile and can open up running lanes that will make head coach Matt Nagy’s offense tick. Selecting a guard in the top 10 might not be exciting, but Nelson has the tools of an immediate blue chip starter. 聽

Bennett had been widely perceived to be on the trading block as the Seahawks attempt to put together a younger, cheaper defense. Bennett and has three years left on his contract and has a cap hit of $7.4 million in 2018. The Eagles don’t have a lot of cap space, but they’ve decided to take on a fairly expensive veteran as they seek to win another Super Bowl.

Kids Tom Rathman Jersey This comes after Schefter reported the Miami Joc Pederson Youth jersey Dolphins released Suh following three seasons with the team.

The Cardinals are keeping one impending free agent from hitting the open market next week.

The team announced Wednesday that they have re-signed long snapper Aaron Brewer. Brewer signed a four-year deal with the team.

I met my fianc’e here, Brewer said in the team’s announcement. I’m from San Diego and it’s really close. They gave me an opportunity this last time. I’m happy to be here.

Brewer joined Brooks Orpik Authentic Jersey the team a few games into the 2016 season and saw action in their final 13 games. He missed eight games last season after breaking his wrist.

If it works out we might stay out there if they’re back-to-back, Wood said. It’s a possibility. We wouldn’t probably do that if they were scheduled back to back too early in the year ’cause it’s kind of too close to training camp. But if we could get those in the second half of the season and they were back-to-back we might stay out there and have kind of a midseason mini training camp.
Coleman is one of five restricted free agents for Seattle along with defensive end Dion Jordan, running backs Mike Davis and Thomas Rawls, and linebacker Dewey McDonald. Jordan is likely to receive a tender as well after recording four sacks in five games with Seattle last season.

Coleman seized control of Seattle’s slot cornerback job last season. He recorded 42 tackles with 1.5 sacks and nine passes defended while starting five games.

Joe Namath Jersey The only surprise will be if this isn’t the pick. Dating back to the combine, this is the noise the entire NFL has been hearing. It helps cement matters that Cleveland Browns?owner Jimmy Haslam was photographed sitting with Darnold’s parents at his USC pro day.
Limited Womens Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey
Darnold fits the mold of what the Browns need at the position’he’s smart, accurate, tough and has a lightning-fast release. He’s also steady enough in terms of personality to handle being the new savior of Cleveland football. ?

The Vikings have their new quarterback in Kirk Cousins, but they may have to find someone new to block for him.

Joe Berger, a guard/center who started all 16 games for the Vikings last year, is considering retirement, according to NFL Network.

But now the league appears intent on wringing any last drops of fun from the draft, thanks to an addiction to making as much money as humanly possible, no matter the consequences.

The NFL announced this week that Fox will air the first three rounds and ABC will show Rounds 4-7.?Thus for the first time ever the entire draft will air on broadcast television. Of course, it will also air on ESPN and the NFL Network, as usual.

The Panthers need a backup if not an eventual successor to Greg Olsen, and Willson has shown some flashes. He caught 15 passes for 153 yards and four touchdowns last season.

The player-agent relationship isn’t a win-lose proposition. A good agent can get more money for a player than a player can get for himself. So every player should have a good agent who can and will do just that.

But Sherman already has boasted that no agent could have gotten a better deal than Sherman negotiated for himself. Of course Richard Sherman would say that; would we expect anything else from one of the most confident personalities the NFL has ever seen?

Our panel really likes the kid, as do the Flyers, who rave about his blend of mobility and agility on a 6-foot-5-pound frame.They definitely do not run away.Last, Oklahoma and Texas combined to win 46. 25, New York Mets left fielder Mookie Wilson hit an innocent-looking groundball toward Red Sox first baseman Buckner the bottom of the 10 th inning of Game 6 of the World Series.

That kind of harassment has no place football or any sport, and should not be tolerated by any organization.From the 11 offensive tackles that I’ve had the opportunity to study far, is by far and away the best value.Even if his ankle makes a full recovery and he gives Toronto all of what he was Chicago, one of the other key problems with Bolland is his asking price.Fast forward to the present, and fans are clamoring for the 24-year old to be actively shopped.Play 2: Pass to Lockett for 8 yards Screen to Lockett on the left after he goes motion.

The Giants are creating a new-look linebacker corps, and they’re doing it with some guys they know.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Giants are signing Cardinals outside linebacker Kareem Martin.

Martin grew slowly into a role with the Cardinals, but the former third-round pick knows the scheme of new Giants defensive coordinator James Bettcher and should help implement it.

Elite Womens Kareem Hunt Jersey Neither Reid nor the 49ers have ruled out a return to San Francisco, the team that drafted him 18th overall in 2013.

But the 49ers have three safeties in place which would make it difficult for Reid to find a starting role.

Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh made Jaquiski Tartt the starter at strong safety when Reid went down with a knee injury Week 2 in Seattle and Tartt didn’t relinquish that starting spot when Reid was healthy.

It’s a potential consequence of breaking the bank for a free agent and bidding farewell to multiple ers who had been on the roster and in the locker room. The guys who were there Andre Hal Jersey may not warm up to the new guy who supplanted three other guys.

Game Eddie Lacy Jersey While some ers possibly feel that way, it’s hardly universal. Appearing on PFT Live, Paul Allen of KFAN said that some Vikings are privately elated by the news that Cousins is joining the cause.

Although the move increases expectations, perhaps unreasonably, for the Vikings, Allen is convinced that Cousins becomes a significant upgrade at the position. That won’t keep outsiders from regarding the Vikings as a Super Bowl-or-bust proposition over the next few years, with the Cousins experiment regarded as a failure if/when the Vikings continue a streak of futility that dates back more than 40 years, to their fourth and most recent los in the championship game.

There is聽$15 million聽in dead money from his $20 million聽signing bonus.

The true savings comes in 2019 and 2020 when Pierre-Paul is off the books.

Limited Womens Solomon Thomas Jersey With free agency three days away, the best defensive player in Denver keeps politicking for the team to sign one of the best available veteran quarterbacks. Von Miller wants Kirk Cousins to come to town.

I’m all in 100 percent, Miller told James Palmer of NFL Media. This is a big time for Denver and a big time for the National Football League. You don’t really have, especially quarterbacks, become free like that. So it’s an exciting time in the National Football League.

Cousins is the first healthy franchise quarterback under the age of 30 to become an unrestricted free agent. The class of free agents also includes several other potentially attractive options at the quarterback position.

Here’s an interesting direction that Miller may not like, but it would get Miller and Cousins on the same team. A reader recently suggested a trade between the Rams and Broncos, with Miller going to L.A., quarterback Jared Goff going to Denver, and the Rams then signing Cousins, reuniting him with coach Sean McVay. That would be a crazy outcome, but given the craziness of the last few days, how crazy would it really be

On Monday’s PFT Live, we may be spending some time discussing some potentially crazy trades that could happen. Feel free to suggest some that we could steal use below.

Now Rodgers-Cromartie, who turns 32 next month, will hit the open market and hope there’s still a Jermaine Gresham Youth Jersey team out there that thinks he can be a valuable contributor.

Defensive end Benson Mayowa was released by the Cowboys, but he may wind up staying in the NFC East.

John Keim of ESPN.com reports that Mayowa will be in Washington for a visit on Tuesday. That’s the second meeting with a defensive lineman that the Redskins have lined up as Muhammad Wilkerson is set to visit with the team as well.

Limited Womens William Perry Jersey Mayowa had six of his nine career sacks for the Cowboys in 2016, but slipped to one during the 2017 season. He’s also played for the Seahawks and Raiders since entering the NFL in 2013.

If Mayowa does land a job in D.C., it will likely come with a change in position to outside linebacker in their 3-4 base defense. With Junior Galette and Trent Murphy set for free agency, that spot could become a bigger need for the team in the coming days.

Womens Pete Maravich Jersey J.J. Watt is offering to helpfully intercede after a follower shared a photo of what appeared to be a football signed by the Texans defensive end with a misspelled last name.

Man, whoever faked my signature on that ball didn’t even know how to spell my name! Watt exclaimed Thursday on Twitter. DM me an address and I’ll send you a proper signed ball to auction off. We can’t have people doing charity like that.

To drop from No. 2 to No. 12, the Giants should get 1,400 points of value. That could be accomplished if the Bills send their second first-round pick (22nd overall, worth 780 points) and their two second-round picks (53rd overall, worth 370 points, and 56th overall, worth 340 points) to the Giants. That adds up to 1,490 points and represents fair value. The Bills most likely would stipulate one of the second-round picks would be in 2019.

One of the loudest knocks on Rosen is his personality and that he was not popular with his college teammates.

Authentic Don Barclay Jersey I disagree, Miller said. Josh came in No. 1 high school guy, a little cocky. Of course you hear off-campus stuff about him, but as the years went on he really matured. He’s really well-rounded. He doesn’t try to Authentic Nelson Cruz Jersey be more than what he has to be, a really good leader. I don’t really have anything negative to say about him.

Miller described Rosen as a really smart guy, really well-respected and did not hesitate when asked if he should be one of the top picks in this draft.

I would want to pick him if I were the team choosing, Miller said. What does he do wrong? That’s the question. Of course, I don’t watch him as much as other people, I just try to protect him.

If the Giants are interested in Mike McGlinchey, the statuesque left tackle from Notre Dame, they will most likely have to trade up from the second round and into the back end of the first round to get him. McGlinchey is another 6-8 athlete and weighed in at the combine at 308 pounds.

The Jets still haven’t announced the signing of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. But they will.

Shortly after we pointed out the absence of an official announcement on the signing, a league source told PFT that Bridgewater has passed his physical, and the Jets will announce that he has signed.

Bridgewater missed the entire 2016 season after suffering a serious knee injury in training camp, and he played only sparingly in one game in 2017.

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman could’ve done the easy thing this offseason, which was to re-sign one or two of his incumbent quarterbacks and hope either Case Keenum or Teddy Bridgewater proved to be a franchise player.

Richardson signed a one-year, $8 million deal with another $3 million in incentives. He’s a fantastic player in terms of creating pressures for those around him, even if he doesn’t always finish sacks. Per Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson, Richardson totaled 36 quarterback pressures in 2017, which will benefit new teammates Linval Joseph, Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen. That’s a scary-good defensive front.

The way it does impact the Browns is at No. 4. There is the potential now that each of the top three picks could be quarterbacks. At worst, the Giants pick Barkley at No. 2 and the Browns are left with the option of picking the best of the rest of the non-quarterbacks at No. 4.

There are two teams who could have real interest in calling Browns General Manager John Dorsey to discuss jumping up to the No. 4 spot. The first is Denver, sitting at No. 5. They could look to move up a spot ahead of the other team that would have interest in calling the Browns: the Bills.

Buffalo, of course, possesses all the ammunition with the No. 12 overall pick and the No. 22 overall pick and picks Nos. 53 and 56 in the second round as well as No. 65, the first pick in the third round that they acquired from the Browns in exchange for Tyrod Taylor. The Bills preference would likely be to move up to No. 2 — same with the Broncos, assuming they want a quarterback — but if the Giants are set on taking a quarterback there, No. 4 might become their target.

Blake Bortles will soon have another weapon at his disposal.
Elite Youth Robert McClain Jersey
According to ESPN, the Jaguars will be signing tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins to a two-year, $10 million deal.

And he comes at a cost that affords the Broncos more flexibility in reshaping their roster and adding to it in the upcoming draft,We all understand on how the quarterback position has a direct influence on how your team plays, Joseph said in February.

Obviously we have to get better there, whoever is going to be the quarterback.

Robinson was a former first-round pick by the Saints, but bounced around the league after New Orleans let him go. He developed into a potent slot corner last year while helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Davis developed into an elite three-down linebacker last season with the Jets, recording 135 tackles and five sacks. He will step into the Saints middle linebacker role, likely pushing Manti Te’o out to strongside.

The Saints still have Marshon Lattimore and Ken Crawley at cornerback, but needed depth. Robinson’s veteran presence should help the young starters develop.

Gareon Conley Mens Jersey Lang each had issues that lingered throughout the year, especially Lang, Cody Whitehair Authentic Jersey with nagging foot and back injuries,In total, the team used 10 different starting lineup combinations, which no doubt contributed to the career-high 47 sacks taken by quarterback Matthew Stafford and the league’s worst ground game,But if the individual pieces have better fortune staying on the field in 2018, there remains reason for optimism.

The Clippers are playing very well as a team now, having won 13 of their past 18 games, and are right in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. As such, they are likely to keep playing the roles that have worked for them thus far, so the fantasy pecking order for the past month should be solid moving forward.

Instead, a desperate Blues team is now one point back of Anaheim and Colorado for the final playoff spot in the West.

Limited Mens Sheldon Richardson Jersey
The Toronto Blue Jays won’t have shortstop Troy Tulowitzki for Opening Day as he continues to deal with a bone spur in his right heel.

Manager John Gibbons made the announcement Tuesday. Tulowitzki has participated in on-field work this spring but has yet to run at full speed.

I don’t think about it, because I have been in the game so long, Colon said through an interpreter. I just have my job and let them make a decision.

In a Sunday start against the Authentic Kerry Wynn Jersey Los Angeles Angels, Colon allowed one unearned run over four innings. He permitted two hits, walked none and struck out three. He threw first-pitch strikes to the 15 hitters he faced.

A lot of strikes, moved the fastball around, knows how to pitch, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. A lot of moxie on that mound and a lot of know-how, nothing rattles him.

The Colorado Rockies finalized a $5 million, one-year deal to bring back three-time All-Star and popular clubhouse leader Carlos Gonzalez.

His agreement was announced Monday and includes $3 million in bonuses based on days on the active roster.

I just felt like it, Lue said when asked about the timing of his decision to bench Smith.

It is the second time this season that Lue has demoted Smith from the starting five to the second unit, also making the move to start the 2017-18 campaign, when Dwyane Wade was still on the team.

The Eagles’ Nigel Bradham would be an upgrade in coverage, but he would hurt the Titans against the run. The Broncos’ Todd Davis is a strong run stopper, but like Woodyard, he is limited in coverage. Because the Titans need to accept a veteran drop-off in some form, they might just re-sign Williamson, who turns 26 on Friday.
Daryl Johnston Jersey
The Titans spent good money to get former Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan and former Jaguars safety Johnathan Cyprien in free agency last year. Then they used a first-round pick on cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and enjoyed a breakout second season from All-Pro safety Kevin Byard.

Cunningham, center, returned to the ice to drop the ceremonial first puck before a game between the Coyotes and Wild on April 8, Norm Hall/NHLI/Getty Images
The hockey world rallied around Cunningham’s inspiring tale of survival. Sixteen months later, he is still part of the sport, thanks to a full-time job as a Coyotes pro scout and a prosthetic leg he is so comfortable and proficient with that he can now travel on his own and do full fitness classes on the road. He also has his own foundation and an optimistic outlook on life.

If the Jets miss out on Kirk Cousins 鈥?and the belief is that they’re just behind Minnesota as favorites to get him 鈥?they need to get a starting quarterback with the fifth overall pick. With Darnold and Rosen gone, Mayfield would be an attractive option.

A run on quarterbacks in the top 10 is exactly what the Buccaneers want to see in the first round. That would mean one of Fitzpatrick, Chubb or Nelson is available. Any of the three are a no-brainer for General Manager Jason Licht. Nelson would help reinvigorate Tampa’s run game, regardless of who is carrying the ball.

If the Bears stick here, they could go after the huge upside of Edmunds, one of the more electric players in this year’s draft. Edmunds is a player who could line up opposite Leonard Floyd to play the run and drop in coverage.

On a line with Joe Pavelski and San Jose newbie Evander Kane, Donskoi is benefiting from keeping such company, with a goal and three assists in three contests. Providing underappreciated playmaking skills to that top line, the 25-year-old former Finnish pro is worth adding in deeper leagues, at least until the return of a healthy Joe Thornton. At that point, Donskoi is likely pegged for demotion.

Game Kids Derek Stepan Jersey We anticipate seeing Trouba back in the lineup next week, once the Jets are back from their six-game road trip. Fantasy managers in need of an upgrade on defense might consider acquiring the 24-year-old now, ahead of an anticipated jump in interest. Before suffering his ankle injury, Trouba collected 20 points and 129 shots in 50 games while averaging more than 22 minutes of ice time. He could factor into Winnipeg’s power play as well.

At 6-6, Gilgeous-Alexander straddles the line between point and off guard. He starts at point for the Wildcats nowadays, but plays plenty of minutes in lineups alongside former starter and fellow freshman Quade Green. In the NBA, his versatility should be a positive. Still, whether he does the bulk of the ball-handling or works as a Eddie Lacy Womens Jersey secondary creator will define much of his role.
