jaire alexander becomes highest-paid cb

5/17/2022

The Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Jaire Alexander to a four-year, $84 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid corner in NFL history (up until this point, because we know that's how it works). Alexander is said to be fully recovered from a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined for the majority of 2021. When healthy, Alexander is one of the best CBs in the NFL; now, he's paid like one.

Packers and Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander are finalizing a 4-year, $84 million contract extension, per source. Deal includes $31 million in 2022 - a DB record of $30 million in signing bonus. Alexander will receive $42.5M by March. @JohnThornton of @RocNationSports confirmed deal.

On Monday, the Atlanta Falcons signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison, adding another option to the mix. Allison is inconsistent at best, mostly having a great game now and then before falling off completely. Allison had most of his success in Green Bay, but the team let him walk in free agency.

The league is likely deciding on a potential Deshaun Watson suspension, as executives are reportedly meeting with Watson in Texas later this week. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett would probably start in Watson's place for the Cleveland Browns for the duration of his suspension.

In such investigations, the NFL usually talks to the player last, so this is likely an indication the league is wrapping things up. Next question would be whether or not they make a ruling before there's resolution on the 22 civil cases. https://t.co/0Ff0G06Azt

The New England Patriots waived quarterback D'Eriq King, who signed with the team as an undrafted free agent. King was expected to play a multitude of roles -- anything from QB to receiver to running back to kick returner. King didn't do enough to earn a roster spot, but could end up on the practice squad.

the ravens + jarvis landry?

The Baltimore Ravens have "expressed interest" in former Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry. How much interest exactly? I'm told they haven't reached out or made him an offer (as of this past weekend). This year, Baltimore passed on drafting a receiver after trading Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals. The Ravens' WR room currently consists of Rashod Bateman, James Proche, and Devin Duvernay. The New Orleans Saints have also been linked to Landry.

Free agent WR Jarvis Landry has not heard from the #Browns as of late following the team drafting two WRs in the NFL Draft, per a league source.

I’m told another team in the AFC North: the Baltimore Ravens, have expressed interest in Landry since the draft ended.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles said the team is "all in" on second-year quarterback Justin Fields. Umm... I would hope so. The team, so far, hasn't built around Fields the way they should. They added wideout Velus Jones in the third round, and that's pretty much it. Darnell Mooney and Byron Pringle are also there, but neither are that special. I hope the expectations are realistic.

"We're all in on Justin [Fields]. I believe in Justin, the staff believes in Justin."

At their minicamp, free agent defensive tackle Marcell Dareus is working out for the Baltimore Ravens. Dareus has not seen the field since being cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the end of the 2019 season. So this is quite a reach.

General manager John Lynch reiterated again that the San Francisco 49ers have no interest at moving wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The Niners don't want to move him, but Samuel has requested a trade and clearly wants out of San Francisco. Samuel has one year left on his rookie deal, so this is a situation that will be closely monitored. I'm in the club of 'everyone is tradeable for the right price.'

While many have assumed Baker Mayfield would be traded by now, the first-round quarterback is still on the Cleveland Browns' roster, and their asking price may go down post-draft. The Carolina Panthers, who are slated to pick at No. 6, could further pursue Mayfield if they don't take a QB with that pick. The Seattle Seahawks have also been a team linked to Mayfield.

The New York Giants are looking to trade wide receiver Kadarius Toney unless they aren't. While reports have floated over the past week of a desire to trade him, New York may not be shopping him; just listening to offers. And they want something substantial in his return. So while Toney has not reported to offseason workouts, has been plagued by injuries, and has no real ties to head coach Brian Daboll, a trade for Toney will likely not happen before the Draft later this week. UPDATE: Toney was present at the Giants' facility for workouts on Monday.

Spoke to a bunch of sources around the league about second-year WR Kadarius Toney over the weekend. Giants view him as a valuable asset. Would want a significant return. Makes it seem right now the likelihood is he does not get moved.#giants #nfl #NFLDraft2022

The hearing for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been pushed back until August. Kamara is being charged with a felony regarding an incident the night before this year's Pro Bowl.

The 49ers picked up edge rusher Nick Bosa's fifth-year option. Bosa, the second-overall pick in 2019's draft, has been one of the top ten edge rushers the entirety of his career thus far. I'd expect the Niners to want to work out a long-term deal with him sometime in the near future.

no-shows to kick off the offseason

4/20/2022

San Francisco 49ers quarterback (at least for now) Jimmy Garoppolo will be a no-show for the team's offseason program as he is rehabbing his shoulder off-site as he recovers from surgery. While the assumption is that he will be traded this offseason, the shoulder surgery has diminished some other teams' interest. So while his market is expected to pick back up as he recovers, the Niners should be turning to Trey Lance as their starter come September.

#49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo has been rehabbing his throwing shoulder off-site, per his surgeon's instructions. Garoppolo and the team are on the same page with that continuing and he won't be there when their offseason conditioning program starts today, per me and @TomPelissero.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 19, 2022

Another no-go: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray won't be in attendance at his team's offseason program. Murray has been pushing towards a new long-term deal with the team, deleting all traces of them from his social media in the process (the latest trend). Both sides have stated that they want to break ground on a new deal, but that has not happened. I think the Cardinals' inability to draft a QB that can start over Murray right now or trade for someone better than him will ultimately lead them to pay him eventually.

As the #AZCardinals begin their offseason conditioning today, QB Kyler Murray and many of the teams veterans will stay away and train on their own rather than attend the voluntary workouts, sources say. This has been communicated as the plan for several weeks.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 19, 2022

New Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is attending the team's offseason program, as he showed up on Tuesday. Baker Mayfield, meanwhile, was a no-show, to no one's surprise. While Mayfield still wants to be traded, Watson could still face a lengthy suspension for the allegations of sexual assault on 22 women. And that's all I have to say about that.

As expected, Deshaun Watson reported for the #Browns offseason program today, but Baker Mayfield has not. Among other things, Mayfield is still rehabbing his left shoulder surgery

Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Jason Licht spoke at a pre-draft presser on Tuesday, where he stated that just because they re-signed both of their running backs, Leonard Fournette and Giovanni Bernard, that didn't mean they wouldn't draft a back in this year's draft. While there likely will be no running backs taken in the first round (for the first year ever), Tampa isn't out of the question to take one later on.

With Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp up for extensions ASAP, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team have talked about both extensions. While one may be further along than the other, it's a no-brainer for both of these players to get PAID paid before someone else does it.

a new deal for denzel ward

4/19/2022

0 Comments

On Monday, the Cleveland Browns signed cornerback Denzel Ward to a five-year, $100.5 million contract extension. Ward's deal includes a $71.25 million guarantee, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. Ward, drafted fourth overall by Cleveland in 2018, has been a standout player on their defense and should be a top-performing member of the secondary for years to come. While I wouldn't consider him a "lockdown corner" like Jalen Ramsey, he's a solid defender and is extremely valuable in a division like the AFC North.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason and have been consistently trying to convince us that it won't really matter that much. But, of course, any time you trade away a game-changing player, the main question remains - can you replace him or his talent? The Chiefs will attempt to do this with either Mecole Hardman or Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Additionally, there are rumors that Kansas City could potentially go in on another top wide receiver a la DK Metcalf. We will see, but head coach Andy Reid is convinced the offense will not be primarily affected. Um, ok.

Baker Mayfield is technically still a Cleveland Brown, but (maybe?) not for long. Mayfield appeared on a podcast recently and was asked about his feelings on the team's decision to go in another direction. Mayfield responded that he felt disrespected by the team but then stated that he's ready to move on and wants to control only what he can control. Let's hope he goes to a team that plays the Browns because I wanna hear the soundbites, see the takes, etc., etc. Give it to me.

Appearing on the Ya Never Know podcast, Baker Mayfield is asked by Mike if he feels disrespected by how the organization handled his situation. He says he does feel disrespected and has no idea where he’ll play next. Full answer below:

It happened. The Atlanta Falcons traded Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts for a third-round pick. The team was interested in Deshaun Watson and did their part to acquire the QB, which left Ryan as the odd man out. Ryan will try to revive his career, which has steadily been going downhill since that incredible Super Bowl collapse in a new setting.

Trade!! The #Falcons are in agreement on a trade of QB Matt Ryan to the #Colts, per @MikeGarafolo, @TomPelissero and me. ATL gets a 3rd back.

After also being interested in Deshaun Watson, the New Orleans Saints are sticking with their QB from last season Jameis Winston. It's unclear if he'll be the starter (they could still bring in another vet or acquire someone via the draft), but he seems to be the guy they think is best fit for the job. Winston is a tad inconsistent for me, but maybe being with the same squad will benefit him.

The #Saints are re-signing QB Jameis Winston to a two-year deal with a base value of $28 million, including $21M guaranteed, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

The reason? Gregory said Jerry Jones and the Cowboys' brass "acted in bad faith" during the free agency process. It's unclear what, exactly, this means. But not shocking.

Things are getting ugly in Cleveland. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is rightfully pissed after the team made it known that they are looking elsewhere at the position and publicly made a run at Deshaun Watson. Mayfield released a statement that made many speculate that the two sides were on the brink of a split. Mayfield said he wanted a trade on Thursday and felt both sides would benefit if they moved on. The Browns then said they would NOT honor Mayfield's request for a trade. This is gonna be good.

The Green Bay Packers traded star wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night, and it was pretty calculated. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was vocal about wanting Adams as part of why he wanted to stay in Green Bay, but now he'll be without that piece. Plot twist: Rodgers knew Adams wanted out when he signed his contract. This is a massive loss for the Packers, but let's not act like Rodgers still won't be a shoo-in for MVP.

While Aaron Rodgers was negotating his contract, he knew Davante Adams would never play for the #Packers again. The situation was too far gone. Something had to give.

After he missed the playoffs, the Indianapolis Colts traded Wentz to Washington ahead of free agency. Still, reports came out that the major downfall in the relationship was the lack of leadership on Wentz's end. Wentz was asked about his time with the Indianapolis Colts and what happened in the end. At least he gave an honest answer.

.@davidaldridgedc: "Why are you not still in Indy?"

Carson Wentz: "Sometimes I wonder the same, to be honest. I think it was a year that had highs and lows, ups and downs. But the way we finished, the way I finished, was horrible. It was horrible. It was tough to swallow."
