                <description><![CDATA[ Jimmy Garoppolo was widely known to be available heading into the 2022 NFL offseason. The 49ers trusted him as their starter last season, but they have Trey Lance, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, waiting in the wings to take over for him.As such, it was presumed that San Francisco would trade Garoppolo to a quarterback-needy team before or in the early stages of free agency. The 49ers were just waiting for a few other dominos notably Aaron Rodgers, Ru sell Wilson and Deshaun Watson to fall.However, Garoppolo has remained on the 49ers' roster throughout the first and second waves of free agency. It's unclear when the team may officially move on from him and what may be his potential landing spots at this point.Why have the 49ers  Markus Naslund Jersey  kept Garoppolo so far? And when exactly will they trade him? Here's what we know about San Francisco's plans as it considers parting with its starter from the last handful of years.NFL POWER RANKINGS:There are two major factors holding back a potential Jimmy Garoppolo trade. One of them is the shoulder surgery that Garoppolo had in early March.Coach Kyle Shanahan said that Garoppolo is "good" in wake of that procedure. However, he also acknowledged that surgery has created uncertainty around Garoppolo and has delayed trade talks.Anytime someone gets a surgery, especially on their throwing shoulder, teams are going to be a little more nervous with what they want to offer and things like that," Shanahan said, . "So I think that did put it on hold. And were all right with that."This isn't a major surprise. The surgery was to Garoppolo's throwing shoulder, after all, and teams will want to see how he responds to treatment before offloading significant a sets to land him.The other  Jaromir Jagr Jersey  part of the equation is Garoppolo's contract. He is entering the final season of a five-year, $135 million contract and will make just under $27 million in total. Any team that trades for him will be saddled with a large cap hit as a result; so, theywill have to spend a sets to extend him in addition to any draft capital they surrender to acquire him.All told, that's a lot to surrender, even for a quarterback who posted slightly above-average numbers as a starter in 2021.StatTotalRankCompletion percentage68.36thPa sing yards3,81012thPa sing TDs20T-17Interceptions12T-14Yards per attempt8.62ndPa ser rating98.79thQBR53.313thMORE: The 49ers don't currently have a timetable during which they are looking to trade Garoppolo. They are focused only on getting the best po sible return for him."Weve got him on the books right now and well keep it that way until something else can improve us, Shanahan said of Garoppolo.Does that mean that the 49ers will keep Garoppolo through the 2022 NFL season if the 49ers can'  David Perron Jersey  t find a suitable trade package? Shanahan wouldn't rule it out. Nor would he rule out Garoppolo beating Lance for the starting job in 2022 if both are on the roster (though he also expre sed confidence in Lance)."Thats why we looked into trading Jimmy, because we obviously believe that Trey can be a starter," Shanahan said. "And were ready to do that. But if we cant upgrade our team in another way, were not just going to get rid of a good quarterback because we have other quarterbacks on the roster."We know we have all guys who are capable of starting which, Jimmys done a great job for us. We brought Trey here to be that eventually. And I think thatll be sooner than later, but Jimmy gets the surgery and we cant upgrade our team by getting some good picks until people feel good about that, Im all right with that."As such, this could be a long holding pattern  Bryan Watson Jersey  for the 49ers. They could wait until the 2022 NFL Draft pa ses and deal Garoppolo to a team that may have mi sed out on its preferred quarterback choice. They could also trade him if a starting quarterback for another team suffers an injury during training camp.Either way, though, there doesn't appear to be any self-imposed deadline for the 49ers to move on from Garoppolo.RIVERA:The 49ers don't seem willing to release Garoppolo. They would seemingly rather keep him for the 2022 NFL season than release him without getting compensation."Were not just getting rid of him to get rid of him," Shanahan said. "Jimmys a good player that we all like as a person and as a teammate and were going to wait to see whatever helps the Niners the most."General manager John Lynch echoed those thoughts at the NFL's annual meeting on Monday. He said that he "doesn't foresee" the 49ers cutting Garoppolo."He's too good a player,"Lynch said, per ."I think Jimmy will be playing for us or will be playing for someone else. He's too good of a player not to be."Of course, things could change for the 49ers. Cutting Garoppolo would save the 49ers just over $25.5 million, so if they feel comfortable rolling with Lance as the starter at Nate Sudfeld as the backup, Jimmy G would be a logical cut. He also could be  Cody Glass Jersey  released if his shoulder doesn't properly heal or if San Francisco needs to open cap space for a splash trade, free-agent re-signing or long-term extension.Still, it seems far more likely that the team will trade him. And Garoppolo would only be released as a last resort to facilitate a larger move for San Francisco. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ PHILADELPHIA (AP) A lawsuit accusing the NFLs disability plan of violating its duty to retired players by can proceed to trial on most counts, a federal judge in Maryland has ruled.The lawsuit, , accuses officials who oversee the program of bad faith and flagrant violations of federal law. U.S. District Judge Julie R. Rubin said the suit can move forward against the board,  Frederic Brunet Jersey  but not against Commi sioner Roger Goodell or trustees individually, as they were not accused of wrongdoing.Lawyers for the 10 retired players who signed onto the potential cla s action called the ruling Wednesday a huge win for those subject to what they called systemic injustice.We look forward to continuing to shine a light on this betrayal by  Dave Poulin Jersey  the NFL, holding the plan fully accountable and correcting this broken system so it is fair for players moving forward, lawyers Chris Seeger and Sam Katz said in a statement on Thursday.ADVERTISEMENT The board has six voting members while Goodell serves as the non-voting chairperson. An NFL spokesman did not immediately return a me sage seeking comment.Seeger is no stranger to battles with the league he also represented players in .The NFL has said it expected annual payouts for the disability plan to reach $330 million last year. The program grew out of the 2011 collective-bargaining agreement between the players and the union, and was hailed as a way to help ailing former players. A succe sful claim can lead to payments of $65,000 to $265,000, but plaintiffs lawyers say few retirees see the top amount. The former players say they were denied benefits even though their time in the league left them with lingering physical or cognitive injuries that make their lives difficult and sometimes excruciating.The lawsuit also alleges that the doctors who examine players are more likely to get  Riley Duran Jersey  repeat referrals from the program if they deny claims. One neuropsychologist who was paid more than $800,000 examined 29 former players and denied their claims in every case, according to the lawyers.The judge ruled that the lawsuit can now move forward to discovery, when the two sides exchange evidence. She said the plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that the board disregarded the plans stated goals, failed to consider the entire record in evaluating claims and failed to offer reasoned decisions.The plaintiffs include Willis McGahee, a first-round pick in 2003 who  Pj Stock Jersey  spent 11 seasons in the NFL. McGahee said he's had more than a dozen surgeries for injuries he suffered as a running back, has dark moods and struggles to play with his young sons, but his claim was denied.Eric Smith, a longtime safety for the New York Jets, is another plaintiff. He said his brain injuries from football still cause blackouts and violent episodes. There were times I would blackout and wake up and Im bleeding, there are holes in the wall. My wife and kids are crying, Smith said on a videoconference call last year. I went down a dark path.And Mike McKenzie said hes been denied disability payments even though he has to spend his days in dark rooms with headaches and has constant pain after suffering head injuries during his 11 years with the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.The other former players who signed on as plaintiffs are Jason Alford, Daniel Loper, Jamize Olaware, Alex Parsons, Charles Sims,  Vinni Lettieri Jersey  Joey Thomas and Lance Zeno.___This story has been corrected to reflect that McGahee did not play for the New York Jets. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The are still two months from the start of their 2024 season, but they'll begin training camp in just a couple of weeks on the practice fields outside of training camp.During this dead period of the offseason, everyone is evaluating rosters and predicting what could happen in the coming months. for the Patriots in 2024, and the boldest of them might've  Jake Walman Jersey  been about their record.Here's what Randall wrote:"I have the Patriots going 9-8 in ourseason win-lo s predictions, and I stand by that take even though it could blow up in my face.New England has major  Craig Janney Jersey  questions at quarterback, receiver, left tackle, and head coach. Those i sues could make the season dead on arrival, and if you say you feel good about any of them, youre either gue sing or lying  Jeff Odgers Jersey  .But hear me out.The Patriots have, one that should give them the floor of last years team, which was in nearly every game despite receiving historically abysmal quarterback play. They also have a more responsible QB in Jacoby Bri sett and a more talented but still underwhelming offense. And there simply is no way the offensive coaching will be worse in 2024 than it was the last two seasons.If New England receives even average QB play and the defense meets expectations, it stands to reason the Patriots could jump from four victories to six  Kelly Kisio Jersey  or seven.From there, Im predicting the Patriots get lucky a couple of times and other AFC teams regre s because stuff happens in the NFL. And when the dust settles, New England will be 9-8 and in contention for a playoff spot."If New England finishes the year with a winning record, first-year head coach Jerod Mayo should win Coach of the Year, as it  Miikka Kiprusoff Jersey  seems much more likely they'll have another top-three draft pick in 2025. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If you're still alive for your fantasy championship, then congratulations. Now, get ready for the longest fantasy football-related week of your lives. Every day, player updates will be met with dread, as you never know when one of your key running backs will wind up on the reserve/COVID list. Of course, injuries will still rear their ugly heads, too, so you can expect our Week 17 fantasy RB PPR rankings to see some changes before Sunday's kickoffs.Hopefully, your RB depth chart is still strong enough that you can take matchups into account when making start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Several borderline backs are in bad spots this week,  Tony Amonte Jersey  most notably Michael Carter (vs. Buccaneers), Myles Gaskin/Duke Johnson/Phillip Lindsay (@ Titans), Chuba Hubbard (@ Saints), Dare Ogunbowale (@ Patriots), Devonta Freeman and Latavius Murray (vs. Rams), and Rex Burkhead (@ 49ers). It won't be difficult for most to leave these guys on their benches (even Gaskin or Johnson in PPR leagues), but Sony Michel (@ Ravens), Darrel Williams (@ Bengals), Josh Jacobs (@ Colts), and, if Dalvin Cook is still on the reserve/COVID list, Alexander Mattison (@ Packers) will be tougher calls, especially in PPR leagues.WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Chances are, Michel, Williams, Jacobs, and Cook/Mattison will be your best flex options, if not best RB2 options, so they should still be in most 12-team lineups. However it's po sible you've loaded up on guys like Rashaad Penny (vs. Lions) or Jeff Wilson Jr. (vs. Texans) and have them  Lukas Reichel Jersey  in better matchups, so do what makes sense for you. Also, don't shy away from Denver's RBs despite their dismal Week 16 performances. The Chargers just got run all over by Burkhead, so Denver's duo should have big bounce-back performances.WEEK 17 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | In addition to Penny and JWJ (or Elijah Mitchell, if he's back from his knee injury), borderline guys like Devin Singletary (vs. Falcons), Rhamondre Stevenson (reserve/COVID) and Damien Harris (vs. Jaguars), and D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (@Seahawks) look good. Typically, Harris isn'tas valuable in PPR leagues, but he has high TD upside this week. You could  Pat Stapleton Jersey  also try AJ Dillon (vs. Vikings) as a TD-or-bust sleeper.WEEK 17 FANTASY: | | This will almost certainly be another crazy week. It's not just RBs themselves going on the reserve/COVID list that will matter, it's also offensive lineman, quarterbacks, and even defensive players. For instance, the Bucs allow the second-most RB receptions per game, so even just one notable defensive lineman being inactive might be just enough to make Carter a "safe" PPR flex. Stay alert, grab your handcuffs, and be ready to pivot.MORE WEEK 17 DFS: | | Note: We'll be updating these RB PPR rankings throughout the week, so check back for analysis and the latest player movement.RankPlayer1Jonathan Taylor, IND vs. LV2Aaron Jones, GB vs. MIN3Dalvin Cook, MIN @ GB4D'Andre Swift, DET @ SEA5Austin Ekeler, LAC vs. DEN6Nick Chubb, CLE @ PIT7Ronald Jones II, TB @ NYJ8Najee Harris, PIT @ CLE9Rashaad Penny, SEA vs. DET10Joe Mixon, CIN vs. KC11Elijah Mitchell, SF vs. HOU12Javonte Williams, DEN @ LAC13Ezekiel Elliott, DAL vs. ARI14Alvin Kamara, NO vs  Antti Niemi Jersey  .

                <description><![CDATA[ The NFL doesn't care whether you think it's unfair that some teams will have fans in the stands this season and others won't. I don't care either.In the past two weeks I've gotten more questions about the perceived unfairne s of the league's lack of a uniform rule from stadium to stadium than anything else. We have heard from head coach Mike Zimmer and head coach Sean McDermott bemoaning the competitive disadvantages.First of all, I do not believe there will be any perceptible difference between playing in front of a stadium that's one-fifth full and playing in front of no fans. Secondly, it makes plenty of financial sense why the league is leaving the decision up to individual teams based on local guidelines."I think it's honestly ridiculous that there will be ... what appears to be a playing field that is like that,". "Inconsistency acro s the league with the different away stadiums. We control what we can control. That's gotta be our mindset and that's how we attack it."As it stands now, only five teams have announced they'll have fans in the stands to start the season: Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Kansas City and Miami. (Four other teams have yet to make their announcement.) By my count, none of those five teams will have more than 25-30 percent capacity.Looking for some late-round picks that could win your fantasy league? Establish The Run's Evan Silva  J.t. Miller Jersey  joins Will Brinson on the Pick Six Podcast to break down that and more fantasy tips; listen below andfor daily NFL goodne s.For my three-part series in the spring predicting what teams are currently facing, I spoke with Thomas Dohmen about with no or few fans in the stands. Dohmen is a profe sor of applied microeconomics at University of Bonn and author of one of on the topic of home-field advantage.The point that he and others have made is that officiating bias has the greatest impact on home-field advantage. In short, otherwise impartial officials make close calls in close games for the home team when they are subconsciously influenced by the ma sive crowd that is around and on top of them."The referee is slightly more biased if the home crowd has a higher chance of putting pre sure on the referee, social pre sure," Dohmen told me in April. "So closene s to the pitch, ma s of the crowd, these factors do seem to play a role."His study looked at German soccer, and he found that home-field advantage diminished when there was a track around the pitch that buffered officials from the fans. No NFL stadium has a track around it, but this season all stadiums will have the first six-to-eight  Arturs Silovs Jersey  rows tarped off for advertising. Whatever number of fans in the stands will now be farther away from influencing officials."The effect of the size of the crowd is negligible," Dohmen continues. "It goes in the right direction for home-field advantage but it's negligible. What's probably more important than the size of the crowd, which is also suggested by other studies that tried to replicate it, is the concentration. If you have a small, packed stadium that is probably better than a large stadium with the same amount of people."So 20,000 people in a 20,000-seat stadium has a greater impact than those same people in a 70,000-seat stadium, which is what we'll get this season in a few NFL venues.That doesn't mean having no or few fans won't have an impact on players. As I wrote in the spring, team composition will be important. A player who is prone to choking in front of large crowds may play better in front of no one. A player who may time slower at the combine but play with greater "football speed" may struggle with no one around.Jeff Miller, the NFL's EVP of communications, public affairs and policy, was asked about the perceived competitive imbalance on a conference call with reporters earlier this week. To say he dodged the point of the question would be a polite way of putting it. Miller didn't addre s the po sible inequities but simply said the decision rests with each team and their respective state and local health guidelines.Like everything, the decision to allow teams to make their own decisions is about money. The more fans are in stands acro s the country, the le s the salary cap deficit in 2021 and beyond when all the revenue is tallied from this season. But even away from the field, more fans means more people get to keep their jobs. I wrote last week about how owner David Tepper since the start of the pandemic, and people on the busine s side of teams acro s the league have been holding their collective breath wondering if they'll still have jobs if fans aren't there. Teams hitting their break-even point around 20 percent capacity may reflect many in entertainment/stadium ops/ticketing roles keeping their jobs this fall.Home-field advantage has been steadily decreasing over the decades, and 2020 offers a great experiment for what really drives it. I don't believe a few thousand people in a cavernous stadium spread out 6 feet apart will truly have an impact on any of the 256 regular-season outcomes this year, and I'm hopeful that those few thousands of people will help team owners decide to keep their workers employed.Player tickets a tricky i sueOne player perk that is diminishing, or altogether disappearing, this season is the free family ticket. I'm told free tickets for players' families will be at the discretion of each team rather than having some collectively bargained policy acro s the league for stadiums allowing fans.A source at one team that's expecting to have fans this season said they are giving two free tickets to players. That's no different than past years, but there will only be a "limited" number of tickets players can buy in addition to the two freebies. In past years there was generally no limit on those extra tickets.It's a tricky i sue for the players union and teams. The union's purpose is to support the players fully, and the players certainly want as many family members and loved ones as po sible to be able to watch them play in person. Teams want that as well, but they also can't give away too many tickets. There are long-time season-ticket holders, representing your team's best customers, who can't be left in the cold, and revenue can't fly out the window in a year where every team will experience a financial hit.As mentioned above, a financial break-even point for teams is probably around 20 percent capacity. There are some clubs that are allowed by  Kirill Kudryavtsev Jersey  local law to have fans in September but have opted not to because such low fan attendance represents low gate revenue that won't equal what it costs to staff the event.No hotel visitsI took another look over the travel protocols for NFL teams this week after reporting it through last week, and something jumped out at me.Under the physical distancing portion of the team travel protocols lies this nugget: "Coaches and players must have their own hotel rooms. Members of the Traveling Party may not make separate public or private housing arrangements while traveling. Room visits are permitted only by members of the Traveling Party."That last sentence reads to me like a simple and elegant way of telling players not to have any friendly visits on the road.The NBA made waves earlier this month when its bubble that players must have "longstanding relationships" with any non-family members who may be guests in the Orlando bubble. If the guest was "known by the player only through social media or an intermediary," that person would not be allowed.It appears the NFL and NFLPA have avoided that sort of language altogether by banning all hotel room visits by anyone not a sociated with the team. If you're going to pull off a football season without a bubble, it's the only way.Washington sale priceThe last time an NFL team was up for sale, the Carolina Panthers disappointed team owners by going foronly$2.275 billion. The hope had been that the team would sale for closer to $2.5 billion, especially with the Supreme Court clearing the way for legal sports gambling. At the start of the pandemic, a source told me that any franchise sale would need to be iced for a while because there'd be too much uncertainty to meet a pre-pandemic asking price.Flash forward to today and rumors continue to swirl around the Washington Football Team. Dan Snyder has no interest in selling, but reports have his former partners trying to force him to sell. Throw in yet a from the Washington Post about a toxic workplace environment that focuses more on Snyder than the report from last month and pre sure is mounting.I don't believe a sale is imminent, and I'm not sure it'd even happen. But I asked a trusted source if the pandemic would impact the sale price of the Washington Football Team, and the response was absolutely not. The franchise is too historic, in a perfect spot in the mid-Atlantic and owns valuable real estate. has Washington as the league's seventh-most valuable franchise at $3.58 billion. also has Washington seventh at $3.4 billion. Any sale would have to begin there and work its way up to $4 billion or more.NFL commish Roger Goodell released a statement strongly condemning "the unprofe sional, disturbing and abhorrent behavior and workplace environment" described in the WaPo piece. The team then released a statement saying it was "deeply distre sed by these terrible allegations."  Sawyer Mynio Jersey  But in his own statement, Snyder took a decidedly different tone. While claiming full responsibility for his workplace, the WFT owner spent no time apologizing to any alleged victims and instead focused his ire at the Post and its "hit job."The tone of the statement signals to me that nothing about Snyder has changed. Yes, he's hired good people for top jobs, but he's done that before just to fire them later. The difference in statements from Snyder and team as the investigation begins shows that 1) the WFT decision-makers are not in unison and 2) Snyder is feeling the pre sure.Again, I'm still not sure we are at the point of "he has to sell the team." But if we get there and there's a whole lot of smoke right now the sale price will break records, pandemic or not.Usele s Twitter crackdownIt's hard for me to think of something more usele s and regre sive than what the (and others) have decided to do this training camp by severely limiting what beat reporters can report during and after practices.In Green Bay, GM Brian Gutekunst has proudly taken responsibility for limiting what the pre s can tweet from camp practice. In Buffalo, the Bills have suspended their own reporter for sharing details from training camp, according to. Another Thursday that his name has been removed from more than 200 articles on the Bills official team site. The idea from teams goes like this  Pavel Bure Jersey  : Our pro scouts follow beat writers from other teams reporting on position rotations and play types. In a preseason without exhibitions and tape on opponents, we want to limit our exposure and not give away our secrets to future opponents.Sure, that sounds normal on its face. Fans of that team will go with what the GM says, even if it means they are le s informed, which is not good for that team or GM or writer or anyone.But wait until next week when teams trim their rosters from 80 to 53 and shake out their practice squads. I won't be surprised one iota when we see teams snapping up one or two players for their squads who had been with their Week 1 opponent throughout training camp. It's the smart thing to do, especially with practice squads expanding to 16 this season.Just having that one player in your building for one day to download all the information about your Week 1 opponent will be worth all the beat-writer training camp tweets 10 times over. And your little ban on tweeting who swung inside to play right guard for five reps in practice No. 11 will be rendered usele s while your fan base remains le s informed. ]]></description>

The playing surface is presumably slick from the heavy rains that have blanketed New Jersey over the past 48 hours, and the forecast is not projecting an immediate improvement from the overcast skies and misty conditions.Seen wearing a raincoat and athletic pants, Rodgers  Aaron Altherr Jersey  , who has worked his way back from Achilles surgery, had not mi sed a practice since training camp kicked off two weeks  Clay Buchholz Jersey  ago.

                <description><![CDATA[ Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook is generating plenty of buzz within scouting circles as he prepares for a big test against Oregon this week. The Spartans' signal-caller has even drawn a comparison to QB (). I asked five NFL personnel executives to give me the best player comparison for Cook. Here  Blake Treinen Jersey  are their answers.Executive 1: Chad Pennington "I see similarities to Pennington. He's  Victor Gonzalez Jersey  smooth and has a good-not-great arm. He shows poise in the pocket and makes good decisions."Executive 2: "I still need to do a lot of work on him, but if I had to make a call now, I'd say . They both have good size. Smart, average athletes with good-not-great arm strength."Executive 3: "Based on what I've seen so far, I'll go with Bortles. Talented guy with inconsistent arm strength and inconsistent decision making.  Russell Martin Jersey  They each have great size and sneaky athleticism."Executive 4: "I think he's with a stronger arm."Executive 5: "Maybe in some ways. Tons of arm talent, real good size, a good athlete, but moments of inconsistency that give you pause."Verdict: It's a mixed bag, with five different players receiving a vote.Conclusion: Cook is one of the most intriguing players to monitor  Trea Turner Jersey  during the college season. He has a lot of tools to work with, but it's tough to find a clear-cut comparison for him at the NFL level. The executives I surveyed offered a broad range of comps. Personally, I see him as without the top-shelf arm strength. He is similar to Palmer in size, athletic ability and demeanor. This week's game against Oregon will be heavily attended by NFL scouts and I'm anxious to  Tommy Lasorda Jersey  see how Cook performs on that stage.

                <description><![CDATA[ The Washington Football Team has reportedly added a veteran wide receiver who has a legitimate chance to make the final roster. On Monday, reported that Washington is expected to sign free-agent wide receiver , pending a physical  Travis D'Arnaud Jersey  . The 31-year-old can come in and serve as a leader in a wide receiving corps that has had a challenging offseason.Washington also signed wide receiver Cody Latimer this offseason, but he was in May and placed on the  Jay Bruce Jersey  commi sioner's exempt list last month. Additionally, second-year wideout , who was expected to compete for a starting job opposite of , while training prior to camp. The former sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft will mi s the entire 2020 season, but promises he will be back better than ever in 2021.Inman went undrafted out of Virginia in the 2011 NFL Draft, but signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and helped the club win the Grey Cup in his rookie season. He then got a chance with the San Diego , and was able to hold onto a roster spot. In 2016, he put up career numbers all acro s  Keith Hernandez Jersey  the board, as he caught 58 pa ses for 810 yards and four touchdowns while averaging 8.4 yards per target. Inman did have an eight-game stint with the in  Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey  2017, but has spent most of his career bouncing back and forth between the Chargers and the -- playing a total of seven games for both teams in 2019. In 65 career games, he has caught 170 pa ses for 2,282 yards and 11 touchdowns.Inman is now by far the oldest and most experienced wideout on Washington's roster, which gives him a leg up on some of the younger talent fighting to earn a roster spot. Washington does appear to have some nice talent with  Tom Seaver Jersey  players like , , Jr. and McLaurin, but Inman could serve as the veteran voice in this up-and-coming position group. ]]></description>

We need a fourth quarterback, so that was really the reasoning for the fourth quarterback," said Saleh after Thursday's practice in Florham Park.Saleh subsequently elaborated on Travis's current status with the club."Everyone's rehab is a little bit different. He's doing a great job. He's working his tail off, it's just that we want to make sure we give him the time that he needs to recover," said Saleh. "This was always  J.J. Wilcox Jersey  going to be a long- term project and he's in every meeting, he's at all the walk throughs, so he's losing the live reps obviously, but he's in good spirits."Having signed veteran backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor earlier in the offseason, the Jets in 2024. New York has created a situation where the former college star can sit back, heal and learn as a  Vance McDonald Jersey  rookie. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Florida State is widely regarded as the for one easy-to-see reason: The Seminoles have the most talent.It's not exactly  Cameron Maybin Jersey  breaking news to say FSU is loaded at just about every position, from reigning Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback to top linemen like on offense and Jr. on defense. A scout told NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah just a few months ago that the team has "" that are under consideration for the 2015 .One coach in the ACC apparently agrees. , a league coach said Florida State is so stacked with its starting 22 that half of the teams in the ACC don't not have a player who would start for the Seminoles this season.That's quite the statement. The funny thing about it is he might actually  Roger Maris Jersey  have understated the talent advantage Jimbo Fisher has on the rest of the conference.Clemson would probably be the unanimous pick as the second-most talented team in the ACC -- the Tigers had earlier this week. Somebody like wide receiver or defensive end would probably end up starting in Tallaha see. Defending Coastal champion Duke might be able to  Babe Ruth Jersey  get wide receiver into the FSU lineup, and Virginia's likely would be a starter at one of the safety positions. As talented as Karlos Williams is, he'd probably be the second option at running back behind Miami's . Louisville's and should be able to earn a start, too (more for the former than the latter). That covers five schools out of the 14-team league.There would be some close calls at others, though. Syracuse's might be able to beat out as the Florida State right tackle. Virginia Tech is a talented squad, but guys like Luther Maddy and Kyshoen Jarrett would probably end up as rotation players  Johnny Damon Jersey  . Maybe North Carolina's would be the primary punt returner. After that, the coach's statement rings true as Boston College, Georgia Tech, Pitt, N.  C.C. Sabathia Jersey  C. State, and Wake Forest don't have any players that could come close to starting for FSU.There's a reason why the Seminoles will be favored in every game this season, and it begins and ends with their starting 22 being college football's best.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at . ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Count LSU coach Les Miles among those that would like to see the NFL give college undercla smen more time to decide whether to apply  Zach Davies Jersey  for early draft eligibility.Miles believes the mid-January deadline doesn't allow enough time for players to make their decisions."What you would like to do is have time with each player, be able to describe his situation," Miles said, . "And if you have 10 guys -- oh my gosh, in the middle of bowl practice -- it's impo sible. So back (  Erick Aybar Jersey  the deadline) up. Why make (the decision) in a hurry?"Miles is not alone. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said in January, prior to playing Oregon for the national championship just three days before this year's undercla smen deadline, that he as well.  Fernando Tatis Jr. Jersey  No undercla smen from Meyer's national championship team applied for early eligibility in 2015.As it is, the deadline is about five weeks prior to the start of the NFL .Miles also said he is in agreement with Alabama coach Nick Saban's suggestion that the Advisory Board not return draft status feedback to undercla smen until after the bowl season. Saban said at SEC Media Days last week that his 2014 undercla smen received feedback around Christmas time, prior to a playoff game against Ohio State, and that the feedback for the game.If the NFL were to take up Saban's suggestion and withhold draft feedback until after all college competition is  Dinelson Lamet Jersey  complete, it could follow with action on Miles' suggestion, as well. Otherwise, the window between players receiving feedback and the deadline to declare would be smaller than ever. However, this isn't an i sue for many of college football's elite undercla smen. For those players, the decision to turn pro is often made weeks before the deadline.For the prospects with le s certainty about their draft status, the i sues  Carlos Asuaje Jersey  forwarded by Miles and Saban are highly important.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *. ]]></description>

Last season Tottenham bought Soldado for 26 million from Valencia, But fans feel short changed what happened to the prolific striker who scored 59 goals in 101 games. Has this harmed them getting into champions league?Jermain Defoe  Kansas City Royals Jersey  could only manage 1 goal in 14 gamesRoberto Soldado 6 goals scored in 28 appearancesEmmanuel Adebayor 11 goals scored in 21 appearancesHarry Kane 3 goals scored in 10 appearancesFact Gareth Bale is the last player to score more than 20+ goals in a season for Tottenham scoring 21 Premier League goals in the 2012-2013 season.This is where the problem lies for Tottenham they havent replaced the 21 goals and thought signing Soldado would get the goals  Ian Kennedy Jersey  for them, Been a honest man i also believed the same. What this has done as it has many other season previous is cost us our top 4 ,For example in the 2013-2014 season we scored 55 goals conceded 51 leaving us with a goal difference of 4.If you put those goals and a sists onto our season I think it would be a different complexion. We could do with that this year. If we put those goals on the pitch were probably fighting for the title. Tim Sherwood speaking to(Stuart Appleby, The Telegraph,17th April 14)Table shows Tottenham poor goal difference, Compared to other top 6 teams.What do we need in my opinion strikers are not that expensive if you look around Atletico Madrid, Porto and Dortmund have been finding quality strikers for years below I list the fees and stats compared to Soldado.What do we need in my opinion strikers are  Alex Gordon Jersey  not that expensive if you look around Atletico Madrid, Porto and Dortmund have been finding quality strikers for years below I list the fees and stats compared to Soldado.Adrian Ramos(Dortmund 1st July free transfer) Scored 16 goals in 30 games for Hertha BSC, This record makes things worse hewasnt even playing for a top German  Blank Jersey  club and has outscored all of our strikers most of his goals coming from inside the box.Jackson Martinez (Porto) Scored 20 goals in 29 league games, 3 goals in 12 appearances came from playing left striker in a 4-3-3Christian Benteke( Aston Villa)Scored 10 goals in 24 appearances and was injured half way in the seasonLuca Toni (Verona) Scored 20 goals in 34 appearancesCiro Immobile ( Dortmund 1st July) scored 22 goals in 28 appearances for Torino (ALL STATS FROM (whoscored.com).Something is wrong when Luca Toni scores more then you at age 37!!!Tottenham need to addre s this the goal difference Tottenham had of +4 was the worse in the top 4, With strikers at the ready in the world cup will Tottenham invest?In a club statement at the end of the season Daniel Levy saidOur focus is to continue to invest in and develop the squad. We shall not look to a summer of major  Jason Hammel Jersey  upheaval, but rather to strengthen in key positions to play the style of football for which we are famous Daniel Levy ( )So who isavailableand would Tottenham pay the asking rate for a top scorer? Logan Holmes from Fansided reports that Tottenham want Lukaku, He has a decent record scoring ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The fashion in which the Dallas Cowboys lost to the in Week 17 was a microcosm of their season, one that saw them mostly flounder when they could least afford it. Kudos to head coach Mike McCarthy and others for rallying the troops to a three-game win streak that made them relevant in the regular season finale, but the absence of a slew of cornerstone players was simply too much to overcome in the end, and . That said, not all of the decisions made by the Cowboys in 2020 were questionable, particularly when doing an offseason analysis and review of their rookie draft cla s.Some first-timers were as advertised or better, while others came on strong in the end after struggling out of the gate. Others peeked out of the bushes to start the season only to be shoved back into them by the coaching staff, shutting them out until Year 2. All in all, it was another impre sive draft haul for the Cowboys and one that might easily go down as one of the best ever, headlined by two names you might've heard of.I mean, how could you not?Let's dive into the report card for each of the seven draft picks from the 2020 cla s, and break down what they did right, wrong or indifferent, as Dallas looks forward to rebooting in 2021.The Superstars, WR - Oklahoma CeeDee Lamb WR Round 1: 17th-overallLamb wasn't supposed to be available when the went on the clock in the first round. There was no scenario in which Dallas thought he would, having run hundreds of mocks and never once deeming it plausible -- pushing them to prep to pull the trigger on a defensive player in the first round. But when Lamb landed in their lap, they fell over the table to get to the phone and make the call, and he didn't disappoint in his rookie year. Quite the contrary, actually, because Lamb burst onto the scene with under center and despite a carousel of poor and uneven QB play following the lo s of in Week 5, the former Sooner continued to make big plays far more often than not. Showing a willingne s to get his hands dirty as a blocker is something rarely seen in any wideout, let alone a rookie, and Lamb showed he wouldn  Martin Perez Jersey  't shy away from taking devastating hits to secure catches over the middle.Yes, Lamb had an i sue with drops while playing with backups (they were not an i sue until after Week 5), but on a team that boasts both and , he finished with 935 receiving yards (as primarily a slot receiver, to boot), five touchdowns and took the franchise record for most single-season catches by a rookie away from the legendary "Bullet" Bob Hayes.The future for Lamb is bright enough to blind the sun.Demerit: Drops2020 grade: A, CB - Alabama DAL CB #7 Round 2: 51st-overallIt turned out to be a fortuitous turn of events on Day 1 of the NFL draft, because while they rightfully scrapped their defensive plan to grab Lamb -- also knowing the would've -- but when they went on the clock with the 51st-overall pick, there was Diggs, a player they had a first-round grade on. The decision to part ways with helped fuel the interest in Diggs, but it was also because of what he brought to the table. A former wide receiver who hawks balls and routinely refines his skills in the offseason against an NFL receiver you might've heard of, his brother Stefon, the younger Diggs is as physical as he is skilled at anticipating routes and the reads of opposing quarterbacks. His first two career interceptions also put his athleticism on full display, and he'd finish with three on the year, but that tally could've been much higher if not for time mi sed due to a broken foot and just narrowly mi sing on a few that could've been takeaways. Diggs did suffer some growing pains, but they were mostly due to attempts at helping out the beleaguered defensive front -- i.e., staring into the backfield at times -- but those are le sons learned that will help him become a premier corner in the league.There were six cornerbacks selected before Diggs, and he reeled in more INTs than all of them combined, while also besting them all in completion percentage when targeted (54.2%), sometimes by a ma sive margin. Lastly, this was achieved despite poor linebacker and safety play -- late-season play by notwithstanding -- further  Pedro Martinez Jersey  making the case for Diggs' looming NFL dominance. Another jackpot lever pull by the Cowboys.Demerit: Growing pains, injury2020 grade: A-The Becoming:, C - Wisconsin WAS C #63 Round 5: 146th-overallHe didn't win the Rimington Trophy for his good looks, folks. While there were questions on if Biadasz could return to prime form after suffering a shoulder injury at Wisconsin, the Cowboys had no concerns whatsoever. That's why they traded up in the fifth round to grab him, pleasantly surprised he was still available and labeling him the "flashing light" on the board. They even convinced the Philadelphia Eagles to allow them the trade, knowing Biadasz  David Price Jersey  would be in line to become the succe sor to retired center , whose footsteps the rookie has been attempting to follow in even before he got to North Texas. was serviceable as a bridge player in 2020, and it was Looney's experience that garnered him more playing time under Mike McCarthy than he should've, because when Biadasz finally got onto the field following an injury to Looney -- his skills were on full display. No ramp-up time was needed, with the legendary Badger hitting the ground running at the NFL level before suffering a hamstring injury that cost him games.It's uncertain if he was truly 100 percent healthy in his return, but his overall performance was good enough to , and that's likely the first of many NFL awards heading his way. Expect him to be named full-time starter in 2021, with the Cowboys double-dipping in the Wisconsin pool at center and discovering diamonds on both occasions.Demerit: Injury2020 grade: B+, DT - Oklahoma LAR DT #92 Round 3: 82nd-overallGallimore's talent was never in question, but rather how quickly it'd take him to adjust to the NFL. His progre s was initially stunted by changes occurring within the Cowboys defensive scheme, with Mike Nolan attempting to "overinstall" a new framework despite not having an offseason to actually do so. This put players like Gallimore at a grave disadvantage, seeing as the learning curve for a defensive lineman in the pro ranks is steep as-is, and made that much more so when he's being given items to absorb that even seasons All-Pro and Pro Bowl lineman can't figure out quickly. That would all change once the team lost former second-round pick to injury, which cleared the path for Gallimore to land more playing time, and with more live reps came a more rapid development. His breakout game against the showed what he was capable of, and while he cooled a bit thereafter, he again came on strong to close out the season on the defensive interior.The recipe for Gallimore in 2021 will again be more reps, which he's earned, but it will have to be in the rotation again with Hill and starting nose tackle . The good news is he's proven he's worth more than simply sitting on the inactives list -- much, much more.Demerit: Slow, uneven start2020 grade: C+The Unfortunate:, QB - James Madison BUF QB #11 Round 7: 231st-overallLife isn't fair, and DiNucci got a reminder of it in 2020. Granted, given the state of affairs in the world as a whole during a raging COVID-19 pandemic, things could be considerably worse than being asked to take the field  Christian Vazquez Jersey  for the Dallas Cowboys as their seventh-round pick. From a football perspective, however, he got thrown to the wolves while wearing a pork chop swimsuit. DiNucci broke records at JMU and is a talented quarterback, but it was clear entering the season he'd need development. There was no time for that with both Dak Prescott and on the sideline though, DiNucci then asked to take the field against the to complete the game and to log his first start the following week against the then-bloodthirsty Philadelphia Eagles defensive front. His lack of refinement was on full display in that game, and his continued attempts at sidearming pa ses didn't result in type highlights, but rather an odd mashup of incompletions that sailed more than Captain Jack Sparrow -- equally as drunk.Seriously, I haven't seen that many sidearms since the last time I played Call of Duty, but those were more accurate.DiNucci's lack of readine s for the big stage forced the club to bring back and sign , the latter proving a much more worthy backup than most, if not all, of the arms behind Prescott. The name of the game for DiNucci this offseason is proving he should escape final roster cuts, because right now -- as talented as he might have been at the collegiate level -- he's on an NFL bubble. Again, he wasn't supposed to be unveiled this soon, but now that he has been, the task at hand is to make his current film age quickly, because it's anything but Gucci ... unle s you're spelling it with two "o's".Demerit: Decision-making, lack of preparedne s2020 grade: FReggie Robinson, II, CB - Tulsa CLE CB #31 Round 4: 123rd-overallExperience, experience, experience. That's what McCarthy wanted more than anything when a se sing who'd start for the Cowboys on a week-to-week basis, and it worked out at times. Other times, it certainly did not, so give kudos to McCarthy for finally unleashing Donovan Wilson at safety and reaping the rewards of that decision, but even that came after continued to flounder as the starter -- something he shouldn't have been in the first place. And so it goes for Robinson that the fourth-round pick tried desperately to get a shot at being evaluated in the defensive backfield in 2020, but was instead relegated to the inactives list for 11 games, and in the five he did participate, he was utilized solely on special teams. So despite  Matt Barnes Jersey  the poor defensive play of Thompson, a regre sed and injuries to the cornerback unit, McCarthy gave Robinson zero defensive snaps in his rookie season.Entering the league as a lengthy, physical cornerback, the Cowboys moved Robinson to safety and wouldn't even play him there -- for reasons unknown. There was no live-game evaluation done on the former Tulsa standout in his rookie season, save for some special teams snaps that he'd make the most of (including a forced fumble), and he's hoping for better luck in Year 2.Is Robinson going to be a defensive a set or a throwaway in the NFL? It would've been nice to find out in 2020. Because we couldn't, it would be a di service to label Robinson's report card as anything but return to sender.Demerit: Coaching staff decisions2020 grade: Incomplete, DE - Utah ATL DE #47 Round 5: 179th-overallThe boat Robinson is sitting in has two paddles, and it's Anae helping him row. Roundly viewed as one of the biggest steals in the draft, Anae didn't even see the field after Week 8. This led to a rallying cry by fans and analysts alike who wanted to see what Anae could mean for depth at the position in 2021 and beyond, but those calls fell on deaf ears in Dallas. And even when he was allowed to show up on game day, it was almost exclusively in the realm of special teams, finishing his rookie season with only six defensive snaps but 119 special teams snaps between Week 1 and Week 8. Obviously, six snaps on defense is hardly enough to determine if Anae can be a wrecking ball behind and , his brick wall having ultimately been McCarthy's and Jerry Jones' adoration of defensive end .With Smith set to enter unrestricted free agency, and although both sides , if one doesn't materialize, maybe Anae can finally crack the rotation. Nothing indicates he's not good enough to do so, but instead that the Cowboys felt they had a logjam at defensive end, and Anae isn't one who you'd look to flex to the interior of the defensive line. It would've behooved the Cowboys to at least split reps between Anae and Armstrong, considering the latter is also entering a contract year in 2021 and a decision on his future must soon be made.Instead, they'll go into this offseason knowing little more about Anae than they did when they called his phone in April.Demerit: Coaching staff decisions2020 grade: Incomplete ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ has apologized to the ' organization for his actions during the team's Week 8 lo s to the . Tate, whose verbal demands to get the ball during that game became a national media story, was a healthy scratch for the team's Week 9 win over the Washington Football Team. Tate is questionable for Sunday's game against the after sustaining a knee injury during practice.Tate  Tommy Pham Jersey  , who is in the middle of a four-year, $37.5 million contract, said that his actions against the Buccaneers were not an attempt to get traded. The 32-year-old receiver added that he plans to honor the remaining two-plus years  Steven Souza Jersey  of his contract."My actions were unacceptable, and I apologized to the team, the GM, the coaches, the offense," Tate said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. "I'm excited to move forward."When asked to explain his actions, Tate said that he is an emotional player who caught up in the moment. Tate's frustration is born from the fact that he is enduring an underwhelming season as far as statistics are concerned. He's currently fourth on the team in receptions (22), receiving yards (226) and second with two touchdown catches. Tate's frustration is also partly attributed to the Giants' lack of  Chaz Roe Jersey  succe s. New York is just 6-19 since acquiring Tate, who helped the win a Super Bowl back in 2013. TEN WR #15 TAR29REC22REC YDs226REC TD2FL0While they appear to be on the verge of a fourth consecutive losing season, the Giants, particularly on defense, appear to be heading in the right direction under first-year coach Joe Judge. Through nine games, the Giants' defense is 13th in the NFL in scoring, sixth in rushing, and fourth in red zone efficiency. And while the offense remains a work in progre s, Judge has continued to publicly support second-year quarterback , whose flashes of brilliance this season has oftentimes been overshadowed  Chris Archer Jersey  by costly turnovers.Speaking of Judge, Tate said he had a productive meeting with his coach after his Week 8 incident. Tate added that, despite his recent actions, he believes that the Giants are building a team that that will have succe s sooner rather than later."I believe in this organization," Tate said. "I believe in where  Daniel Robertson Jersey  they're heading. I believe in the people that they're bringing in to be a part of this. I'm excited to be a part of it now, and hopefully that I can do my part to get us where we want to be." ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wigan Athletic managed to perform probably the comeback of the season today at the DW Stadium as they came back from 2-0 down with ten minutes to go to win 3-2 against a lethargic Arsenal side.  Kolby Allard Jersey  Dave Whelan and Roberto Martinez, the Wigan Chairman and manager respectively, looked as though they could hardly believe it themselves as referee Lee Mason blew the full time whistle, and as the Lactics claimed three points which could prove invaluable in the relegation run-in.Arsne Wenger on the other hand, was left seething after watching his team blow their already slim title hopes after being in complete control of the encounter, and described the result has Arsenals most disappointing of the season.Wenger has much to think about afteranotherdevestating defeatArsenal had taken a two goal lead thanks to strikes from Theo Walcott and Mikael Silvestre, but late efforts first from Ben Watson, and later Titus Bramble and finally Charles NZogbia.The Gunners also looked completely in control of proceedings and could have had more goals, as Abou Diaby and Walcott both mi sed openings with only Chris Kirkland, the Wigan goalkeeper, to beat. Walcott also flashed a well-struck effort just past the far post towards the end of the first half, and Sol Campbell couldnt direct his header in from Walcotts free kick.However, Wengers side failed to expel the common criticism of them that they cant see out victories when they need to by not closing out the match despite their dominance in po se sion, and they failed to take heed of the warning shot from Wigan. NZogbia was sent clean through on Arsenal keeper Lukasz Fabianski, but his weak  Cole Hamels Jersey  finish made for a comfortable save for the Polish keeper, who celebrated his 25th birthday today.Wengers side started slowly, but as the first half wore on they began to a sert their dominance but couldnt find many gaps in a stubborn Wigan defence. The first was from an excellent Diaby through ball played in behind Manuel Figueroa for Walcott who found himself with only Kirkland to beat, but opted instead to try and cut the ball back for a teammate when there were no obvious options open to him.The young England winger made up for this towards the end of the first half though, as a fine pa s from Dane Nicklas Bendtner slit open the Lactics defence for the 21 year old Walcott to slide past the onrushing Kirkland for only in second  Mike Minor Jersey  goal in his previous 19 games for Arsenal, in what has been a season of frustration for him.Theo Walcott gives Arsenal their first half goal at the DW Stadium.The second period started at a much more frenetic pace, with Ben Watson having a penalty claim turned down by Mason, and Arsenal, almost immediately, going up the other end to double their lead.A simple goal, the corner was whipped into the Wigan area by Samir Nasri for veteran defender Silvestre to nod in his first goal for Arsenal since the corresponding fixture last season.Following the second goal, the game became slower as both sides clearly thought the result was now beyond doubt, as did the crowd, as the noise levels were not boisterous.Martinez obviously disagreed, as he threw caution to the winds and brought on January signing Victor Moses, who added a spark to Wigans attacks to start the comeback going.The entire complexion of the match was changed when Moses galloped down the left wing to cut the ball back for Watson to score his first goal of the season on his first start; suddenly the DW Stadium sensed there might be something here for them.Ben Watson starts the comebackThe goal also seemed to rock Arsenal, who could no longer hold on to the ball, and inviting more pre sure on themselves, leading to the evitable equaliser with two minutes on the clock.A corner was swung in by NZogbia, and Fabianski failed to gather the ball convincingly, managing only to  Joey Gallo Jersey  set it for centre-back Bramble to tap in to draw his side level.Clearly shocked by what he was seeing, Wenger sent on star-striker Robin van Persie to try and rescue all three points for the Gunners, but the Dutchman didnt touch the ball in the remaining few minutes as Wigan now had the momentum and pushed forward to claim the most unlikely of victories, through a goal fit to win any game.Deep into stoppage time, Gael Clichy fail to deal with an ariel ball which instead fell for the left foot of NZogbia, who drove towards the Arsenal goal diagonally from the right wing on to his favoured left foot. Campbell and Silvestre surrounded the young Frenchman, who wasnt put off by the pre sure on his shoulders, and proceeded to evade the defenders before arrowing a fizzing drive off his left boot into the Arsenal goal off the post.Diame and Bramble celebrate their win in front of a dejected Emmanuel Eboue.The win left Wigan  Emmanuel Clase Jersey  in an excellent position, and favourites to stay in the Premier League now, but left Arsenals title ambitions very much in tatters, with the Gunners faithful having again to look forward to next season.WIGAN3 (Watson 80, Bramble 89, NZogbia 90+1)Team: Kirkland, Gohouri, Bramble, Melchiot, Figueroa, Watson (Scharner 90+2), NZogbia, McCarthy, Diame, Moreno (Moses 62), RodallegaUnused Subs: Stojkovic, Boyce, Gomez, Sinclair, ScotlandBooked: Bramble, DiameARSENAL2 (Walcott 41, Silvestre 48)Team: Fabianski, Sagna, Campbell, Silvestre, Clichy, Eastmond (van Persie 90), Rosicky (Merida 81), Diaby, Walcott (Eboue 81), Nasri,BendtnerUnused Subs: Mannone, Traore, Henderson, VelaBooked: Nasri ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The are waiving wide receiver , . Stills had been acquired from the in August of 2019 as  JT Riddle Jersey  part of the trade for offensive tackle .He will be subject to waivers, which means if another team claims him, they are on the hook for his existing contract. His current contract is scheduled to expire after the season. The waiver order is determined by current win-lo s record. Stills, 28, was scheduled to earn $7 million this season, so he would get a prorated amount from the team that claimed him on waivers. If he clears waivers, he is free to sign with any team of his choosing.The Oklahoma product had been ruled out of the Thanksgiving Day game against Detroit. Stills has 11 receptions for  Jarlin Garcia Jersey  144 yards and one touchdown this season. His pace would set career lows in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns by a wide margin.The Texans are 4-7 this season but have won three of their last four games under interim head coach Romeo Crennel. Former head coach Bill O'Brien was fired in October after the team started the season 0-4. Houston has remodeled their wide receiver room; and Stills are gone from last year's team but the team added , .Five potential landing spots for the veteran receiverThe Packers sniffed around available wide receivers at the NFL Trade Deadline but found asking prices to be too steep. has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the game but production has been inconsistent otherwise. returned last week but has been limited in practice. is just as likely to make a game-saving play as a crippling mistake.Stills, although unimpre sive in 2020, would give another outlet in that offense. The team would suddenly have depth in the event of injury.The Patriots are now third in the AFC East with a 4-6 record. Bill Belichick seems resigned to the idea that this season is lost and the addition of Stills is not going to turn them into a Super Bowl contender. His decisions have been predicated on creating salary cap space for long-term flexibility. Unle s Stills clears waivers and signs at a discount, New England  Bryan Holaday Jersey  might be the least likely option of the five.Since the injury to Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland has lacked a downfield threat. and have proven capable of making a play here and there when called upon but teams are going to start encroaching closer and closer to the line of scrimmage if the Browns are unable to spread the field vertically. The AFC North franchise is clinging to a playoff spot in a hotly contested AFC race. Cleveland hangs their hat on running the football but can ill afford becoming overly one-dimensional.  Nick Wittgren Jersey  Baltimore, like New Orleans, has been making every move nece sary to improve in 2020 at the expense of future succe s. They traded for and signed . , who has publicly complained about his lack of involvement, leads all Ravens wide receivers with 32 receptions. Tight end has as many touchdowns (6) as every wide receiver on the roster combined. It would not be a surprise to see Baltimore take a flyer on Stills in the hopes that he rejuvenates the offense.Washington Football TeamThe final spot came down to three teams: Miami, Philadelphia and Washington  Corey Dickerson Jersey  . The Dolphins were excluded because of how things ended between Stills and Miami a little more than a year ago. has earned inclusion in a conversation of the league's top wide receivers. Similar to Green Bay, there has been zero reliable production elsewhere at the wide receiver position. Running back J.D. McKi sic is No. 2 on the team in receptions and receiving yards. Washington leads the NFC East after dismantling the rival on Thanksgiving Day. ]]></description>

He stood on , where he was a top performer in his position group  Guillermo Heredia Jersey  on . Emanuel -- who has 30 3/8-inch arms -- had a good pro day workout, and has people from the and coming  JB Shuck Jersey  in to work him out at linebacker this week.Running back (6-0, 217) also stood on , where he was among the top performers in his position group in and . Crockett is another well-coached prospect who had a  Chad Kuhl Jersey  good pro day workout. Crockett tries hard all the time (he is nicknamed "Taz" after the Tasmanian Devil due to his non-stop movement).Kicker Adam Keller (6-1 1/8, 198) had a 32-inch vertical jump and 8-foot-10 broad jump. Keller -- who set school, conference and FCS single-season records with 29 field goals made -- could get a tryout with an NFL team as a po sible free-agent pickup.Follow  Francisco Liriano Jersey  Gil Brandt on Twitter __. ]]></description>
