Justin Herbert gets to next step after shoulder surgery

6/6/2023

Picture
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent shoulder surgery this offseason (non-throwing shoulder) and has been slowly working his way back to the field. Herbert said he plans to participate in team drills this week after he had just been working on the side. Herbert returning to team drills already is a good sign that he'll be ready to go for training camp next month.

Justin Herbert said the plan is for him to work back into 7-on-7 drills this week during OTAs. Would be his first team drills of the offseason. Herbert has been rehabbing from labrum surgery he underwent in January on his non-throwing shoulder.

On top of returning to the field, Herbert is also due a huge payday soon and head coach Brandon Staley acknowledged that those talks and negotiations are ongoing.

Herbert didn't exactly give a straight answer when asked if he would play this upcoming season without a new contract. "That's a good question. I think that's something you have to address and you have to think about."

  • New England Patriots QB Mac Jones had a down season in 2022 but is committing to getting back to his rookie-season-form. "I'm going to do everything I can to earn the respect of everybody in this building again. Sometimes the most confident people come from a year where they might not have been their best. I feel like that's where I'm at. Really great people are formed through ups and downs. Some of the learning experiences I had last year will really help. There's a lot of things I can do better as a person, as a player."
  • Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith cashed in this offseason and now has a rare sense of security with the team. Smith says although he welcomes this change, he's not really doing anything different than he had been doing before. "So I was leading these guys when I was the backup. Leadership doesn't have a title. You're either a leader or you're not. Leadership, to me, it's something I've been about my whole life. I just continued to do the same things, I haven't changed anything."
  • A few Dallas Cowboys are patiently waiting in line for a contract extension, QB Dak Prescott included. Team owner Jerry Jones says those other contract-eligible players don't "necessarily" have to happen before Prescott's turn comes.
    • The Cowboys worked out QB Jacob Eason on Monday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said “it is not imperative” to ramp up contract extension discussions with players before training camp. Does Dak Prescott deal need to be done before others, given its scale? “Not necessarily. …Pollard has nothing to do with Dak.” pic.twitter.com/QaecRZoGID

Texans' owner says he didn't pressure pick of CJ Stroud

5/9/2023

The Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.

#Texans owner Cal McNair makes it adamantly clear on the draft that “Hannah and I don’t make the picks. We ll make it clear there.”

— DJ Bien-Aime (@Djbienaime) May 8, 2023
"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."

Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons.

I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time.

more Qb news:

  • The Arizona Cardinals selected Houston QB Clayton Tune in the fifth round, but he thinks he's the best QB prospect in this year's class. "If you look at my body of work, the effect that I have on my team that I play on, I elevate everyone around me. I'm a natural leader, people follow me and see the work that I'm putting in and the mindset that I have, and they want to follow suit. I have that no-flinch mentality when things get tough." That's some confidence. Maybe it'll work in his favor - starter Kyler Murray may miss the first few weeks of the season while he recovers from a torn ACL. Could Tune get a chance to fill in?
  • The Indianapolis Colts got to see their rookie QB in action during rookie minicamp. New head coach Shane Steichen said he's impressed with Anthony Richardson so far. "He's come in every day attacking this thing like a pro. And we just continue to be consistent with it every single day."
  • Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields returned to Ohio State this weekend to graduate. He earned a degree in consumer and family financial services.
  • After a report surfaced over the weekend that the Washington Commanders looked into signing retired QB Andrew Luck in 2022, the Colts are looking into whether any tampering occurred. Owner Jim Irsay tweeted Sunday night to warn that that could be the case.
  • Trevor Siemian is the new backup QB for the Cincinnati Bengals. When asked why he chose Cincy, he said it was the best fit for him.

Bengals QB Trevor Siemian on why he signed with Cincy: "I just think I just wanted to find a good fit. Somewhere I can come in and contribute. This checked all those boxes."

— Ben Baby (@Ben_Baby) May 8, 2023
  • The New Orleans Saints picked QB Jake Haener in the fourth-round of the draft. How come? Because he reminded GM Jeff Ireland of Drew Brees. No, seriously. "I was just really impressed with the person, how he plays. He's had several fourth-quarter comebacks. He does kind of remind you or there's some similarities to No. 9."
  • Dak Prescott has a new face in his wide receiver room in Brandin Cooks. He's looking forward to working with the former Texans receiver, and likes what he's seen of him so far. "The moment that guy showed up, just watching him in workouts and how he carries himself from drill-to-drill, what he does pre-workout and post-workout to take care of his body to have that speed."

more qb news:

  • The Minnesota Vikings retained their offensive system from last season, and for QB Kirk Cousins, that is a very good thing. "Having somebody in my helmet for the second year in a row, I'm really encouraged by because there had always been that change. And while the system was many times staying similar, a different voice in front of the room, a different voice in your helmet, certainly there's still changes there. I think that's a positive too, to build that rapport with Kevin [O'Connell]."
  • San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy is still recovering from elbow surgery and should be able to start throwing in a few weeks. "I just got a report from the trainers," GM John Lynch said. "So week 12, that's where he can actually go out, start lobbing a football. And according to the surgeon, you start getting a little better read on exactly where he's at right about then." Purdy is not expected to be ready to go in time for training camp this summer, but the team hopes he's able to play come September.
  • The New England Patriots signed TE Mike Gesicki this offseason with the hopes of him vibing with QB Mac Jones. Gesicki says he's excited to work with Jones this year, and complimented his work ethic and personality.

Brady and the Dolphins? He didn't say no

I swear if Tom Brady plays in 2023...

When asked if he would come out of retirement and play for the Miami Dolphins, Brady didn't say no. In fact, he didn't answer the question at all.

While speaking in Miami, Tom Brady was asked if he is going to come out of retirement to play for the Dolphins: pic.twitter.com/LxTHjcevrm

— Brendan Kaminsky (@BKaminsky) April 20, 2023

Rumors of Brady to the Dolphins have circulated for years - from the Sean Payton fiasco before he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to him, here, saying he has friends on the Dolphins. Brady has insisted he is retired for real this time, but there's always going to be some doubt, considering he un-retired before.

There's no way to tell how Brady will feel once training camp rolls around. And then once the season begins. And then when he's not playing in the postseason and competing for a Super Bowl. Please, Tom, let's not.

more Qb news:

  • The Dallas Cowboys acquired WR Brandin Cooks in a trade from the Houston Texans last month and he's already been working with QB Dak Prescott. "It was very exciting to throw with him today. The guy is different. That is real speed."
  • The New England Patriots visited with Kentucky QB Will Levis on Wednesday. The Pats pick at No. 14, and while they have a starting QB in Mac Jones, NE should know what they're passing on should they pick someone else.
  • Earlier this week, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen said he expects to adjust his play so he runs less and hopefully gets injured less. The Philadelphia Eagles recently paid QB Jalen Hurts, so do they plan on adjusting Hurts' play as well. Head coach Nick Sirianni says, "We didn't pay him more to do less."

Patriots are the latest team to say they're not interested in Lamar Jackson

3/30/2023

The New England Patriots are the latest team to say they're uninterested in trading for Lamar Jackson.

Head coach Bill Belichick refused to talk about Jackson at all during interviews at the owners' meetings earlier this week; owner Robert Kraft said Meek Mill (yes, Meek Mill) texted him to say Jackson was interested in joining the team. It appears that won't be happening.

On top of the financial aspect that Jackson is looking for, the Patriots will also have to give up strong draft capital in order to sign Jackson, something Kraft spoke about earlier this week. And New England is one of the teams in the league who is currently in the 'we'll take all the draft picks we can get' category as they're in the middle of a semi-rebuild.

The Patriots haven't seemed like they've been 100% sold on current starting quarterback Mac Jones, as he experienced a sophomore slump in 2022. But he deserves another chance at the helm without last year's disaster of an offensive coordinator (Matt Patricia).

The options are dwindling for Sir Lamar Jackson.

more qb news:

  • Brock Purdy is likely to be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in September if healthy, while Trey Lance and Sam Darnold split first-team reps during the offseason. The elephant in the room: the Niners spent major draft capital for Lance and he may be stuck as the backup - that looks bad. CEO Jed York says he doesn't regret doing that (yet). "I wouldn't change anything that we've made about the decision with Trey. I think Trey has a chance to be great, but it's a bonus when you get somebody at the end of the seventh round that ends up coming in and being very impactful for your team."
  • The Indianapolis Colts are one of the teams that have remained linked to him throughout this process. Owner Jim Irsay stated earlier this week that he wasn't ruling anything out, but wasn't interested in fully guaranteed contracts. The Colts pick at No. 4 in the NFL Draft, and if they aren't set on Jackson, maybe they'll draft a new guy with that pick. "We're looking for a future guy, and we want the guy that can be there for the next ten years," Irsay said. Well, both a rookie and Jackson potentially fit that criteria.
  • Speaking of Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens are preparing a Plan B, Plan C and/or Plan D in case Jackson does head elsewhere - the team was reportedly interested in signing Baker Mayfield before he eventually agreed to a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team even went as far as to make him an offer, which he declined.
  • Dak Prescott threw 15 interceptions last season (not great), including two in the postseason. Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys spent time this offseason going over and dissecting each pick so that it doesn't happen again. "We went back and looked at his decision-making opportunities and the interceptions and potential interceptions and just talking through it," head coach Mike McCarthy said.
  • The Cleveland Browns have high hopes for their weirdo QB Deshaun Watson in 2023 - mostly because they don't have a choice but to have high hopes for him. If they don't, that contract looks mighty stupid, don't we think? Anyways, general manager Andrew Berry says he is ready for a full offseason with Watson before heading into 2023. "I think we're all excited about Deshaun, excited for a full offseason with the guys he's already built chemistry with and some of the additional players that we've added to the offense."

Sam Darnold only cares about winning in move to 49ers

3/20/2023

Sam Darnold signed with the San Francisco 49ers this week, and we can't wait until he plays in next year's NFC Championship Game. Darnold will be the insurance policy for presumed starter Trey Lance as Brock Purdy recovers from UCL surgery.

Darnold said he's not concerned at the moment about who starts, but about how they work together. Aaaw. "I think those things that, with a good quarterback room, as long as we stick together, and we understand that we just got to work hard and continue to put the best foot forward for each other, and everything's going to work out. And I think at the end of the day, as long as we're winning games, that's the only thing that matters to me."

more Qb news:

  • The Philadelphia Eagles signed QB Marcus Mariota, replacing backup Gardner Minshew (recently signed with the Indianapolis Colts). Mariota signed a one-year, $5 million contract worth up to $8 million - pretty heavy backup money. Mariota is in a perfect spot to backup starter Jalen Hurts - the two have similar skillsets and Mariota is capable of winning a game or two in a pinch.
  • Baker Mayfield signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hoping to carry on the legacy left by Tom Brady (that's a joke), but he signed with them for a reason. He feels he can win games and somewhat "resurrect" his career a la Geno Smith. His ex-OC Todd Monken (now with the Baltimore Ravens) said, "It's the Geno Smith model. He came in and became the starter for one year and then got himself the big three-year contract." We'll see how this goes for Baker.
    • Speaking of the Bucs and Brady - at an event on Thursday, Brady stated, "There is nothing I love more than football but I have young children and they watched enough of their dad's games and it's time for me to watch their games."
  • Cooper Rush is remaining with the Dallas Cowboys as the backup quarterback on a two-year deal.
  • Jimmy Garoppolo was announced as the new QB for the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday and he doesn't want any handouts. "I'm coming in with the mindset that I need to earn everything - I don't want to be given any, 'You're the franchise guy,' or whatever. I want to come in and earn it."
    • Blaine Gabbert visited the Raiders on Saturday. The team needs a backup QB behind Garoppolo, and why not throw another Tom Brady backup in the QB room?

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine begins this week, and many eyes will be on the quarterbacks. With several teams desperate for a competent QB, some may have to wait for Pro Days before seeing what the young guys can do. Alabama QB Bryce Young will save it for his Pro Day, while other top draft candidates, Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Florida's Anthony Richardson, are expected to workout and throw at the Combine.

Kentucky QB Will Levis will also throw at the Combine.

Meanwhile, Florida QB Anthony Richardson plans to throw and do all testing and drills, per source. A showcase for the physically gifted Richardson, who has a chance to rise through the pre-draft process. https://t.co/mTgq6sANxa

Anything that we can do to improve this team and help us win - and to ultimately win championships - that's what we're looking for."

"I understand I'm not one of the top guys, and where you go in the draft isn't relatively important to me. It's about being able to have an opportunity to compete. Wherever you go, it's about the right fit."

He wants to do his due diligence and see as many places as he can to get a feel for what the best place for him will be." That's great, but the problem with taking a long time means some teams would rather have a QB sooner rather than later, and Carr may fall down some teams' lists if he wants to drag this out.

more qb news:

  • Jalen Hurts had an MVP-type performance in this year's Super Bowl, despite the Philadelphia Eagles ultimately losing the game. Hurts plans to use this loss as a teachable moment. "You have to look at yourself in the mirror and assess it for what it is and do the things that need to be done to grow from it. I think that's my mentality going on, and I think that will be this whole entire team's mentality moving forward."
  • A thing we love: Top QBs talking about other top QBs. Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen spoke highly of Patrick Mahomes, saying he is the blueprint of what you want to be in the NFL. "You look at him statistically and what he's been able to do in his first four, five, six years in this league, you know, it's kind of unmatched by anybody. They're the mantra of what you want to be and how you want to do it."
  • The Chicago Bears bought a bunch of land to build a new stadium in a Chicago suburb, and quarterback Justin Fields is begging the team to put a damn roof on the stadium - it be cold. "That's what it's all about, is the wind. It can be cold. It can be 10 degrees. But, with no wind, you're fine. But with that 15-mile-per-hour wind, that 20-mile-per-hour wind, you can't fight it; it's tough... I feel slower in the cold."
  • Aaron Rodgers has been on the receiving end of some critical comments from the media over the past few seasons, and with rumors of links between himself and the New York Jets, is the NY media a good fit for Rodgers? Tiki Barber thinks not. "If he is that sensitive that he gets upset that people, reporters, opinion-makers, influencers, whoever, want to talk about him, he is going to struggle in New York. And I don't know if it's the right fit for him. I don't know if I want him in New York if this is going to be his reaction to things that don't matter."
  • We all remember the Trey Lance Arm Fatigue narratives, don't we? Lance basically said he threw too much without enough time off, making his arm tired. He detailed his entire timeline from rehabbing his hip to the present. "So, at that point, I had been throwing for a year straight and then go through that whole season until the next January. So I'd say probably, I don't know, about 20 months straight of throwing. Like I said, probably a week off in there."
    • Lance caused a stir when he posted a 'crossed-fingers emoji' when GM Ran Carthon got the job with the Tennessee Titans, causing a stir. Lance said that was not his intention and he just got close to Carthon and his family. "I cross my fingers, man. I love it here. I don't ever want to be anywhere else."
  • The Dallas Cowboys offense will look different in 2023 due to the departure of offensive play-caller Kellen Moore. That means Dak Prescott will be learning a new offense this offseason, but how different will it be from what he already knows? "Right now, Mike [McCarthy] told me about a 20 to 30 percent change. I think, if anything, it's things that need to be changed. It's great to dial in, fix some things, and get sharper and crisper. I'm excited."

Tom Brady is retiring, for real this time (maybe)

On the one-year anniversary of his retiring for the first time, Tom Brady has retired again. And this time, it seems like it's for real (maybe). Brady wanted to announce his decision via video rather than the lengthy, drawn-out statement he put out last February. He said it's for good this time, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Truly grateful on this day. Thank you □□❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS

There were plenty of rumors about Brady playing elsewhere in 2023 - Las Vegas and San Francisco being the two favorites - and then a return to Tampa Bay was also floated as a possibility. It came down to a return to the Buccaneers and retirement. The Bucs found out about his decision around the same time we did.

Tom Brady informed Bucs today at 6 am he’d be retiring. One aspect I’d been mentioning for a bit now: Brady for months implied to many close to him that it was going to be either a return to Tampa or retirement. Tough for many to believe, including those close, but he meant it.

  • The Carolina Panthers have a new coach in Frank Reich, who has been on the losing end of quarterback battles since Andrew Luck. General Manager Scott Fitterer stated their preference in drafting and developing a quarterback in this year's draft. "If there's a guy in this class that you like, you got to go up and get him. We're in a position now where we have a defense; we have an offensive line. We built around this for this opportunity."
  • While the team has not begun contract talks with QB Daniel Jones, New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen said the club is interested in bringing him back. Jones had the best season of his career under Brian Daboll and earned respect around the league. Unless they can find an upgrade, I'd expect them to re-sign Jones.

  • Trey Lance was supposed to be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers this season before he broke his ankle at the start of the season. Then the same thing happened to Jimmy Garoppolo, which left the rookie third-stringer in Brock Purdy. Lance spoke highly of Purdy and how he handled everything. "I was just super excited for him. He worked his butt off, all OTAs, since the first day he got here, since the day he got drafted. So he deserved everything he got this year and more."
    • Purdy is still considering options for his UCL, while most are recommending surgery.
  • The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2023 off-season with Desmond Ridder as their quarterback. Ridder took over for Marcus Mariota after their bye week and would be the favorite for the starting position heading into 2023. However - with a ton of cap space and a lot of veteran QBs on the move, the Falcons are an interesting spot to keep an eye on. General Manager Terry Fontenot said they're open to bringing someone in. "We're excited about where we are, but yet, we are going to add players... we always want to keep adding to the group."
  • Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is signed through the 2026 season, and vice president Stephen Jones said the team is committed to him long-term. Prescott will be without offensive coordinator Kellen Moore this year, meaning he'll likely be learning a new offense with head coach Mike McCarthy likely to call plays.

  • Justin Fields came close to breaking Lamar Jackson's single-season rushing record (and probably would have, had he been active in Week 18), but the Chicago Bears want him to do less running moving forward, as it took a toll on his body. "It's got to be a part of who you are, but in the NFL, it's hard for it to be who you are - you just don't last... So we've got to make sure we just tap into each one of those things, but running, for sure, has to be a part of who we are going forward."
  • Patrick Mahomes was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, as the Kansas City Chiefs did not hold a full practice.
