During Las Vegas Raiders OTAs, new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did not participate in practice, as he has not been cleared.

.@Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo has not been cleared to practice due to foot injury. Could be out until training camp

— Vincent Bonsignore (@VinnyBonsignore) May 25, 2023
Garoppolo had surgery on his foot in March and is expected to miss Raiders OTAs. Garoppolo's rehabilitation timeline is uncertain, but the feeling in the building is that he should be ready by the beginning of the season at the latest. Head coach Josh McDaniels refused to comment on Garoppolo's surgery on Thursday, the severity, and the timeline of recovery.

By focusing on his recovery, Garoppolo aims to strengthen his foot and regain full mobility - however less time with new teammates and being on a new team in general is likely not going to be beneficial for him.

More qb news:

  • Trey Lance and Patrick Mahomes were spotted working out together earlier this offseason. The young San Francisco 49ers QB and the reigning Super Bowl MVP are both known for their athleticism. Lance says he took away a lot about what Mahomes taught him. "I learned a ton. I was able to focus on the right things. Just having a better idea, even better this year coming into year three of what is expected of me, how to run the offense, being able to watch Jimmy [Garoppolo] and Brock [Purdy] play at such a high level."
  • Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson is splitting first-team reps with Gardner Minshew so far in OTAs. While it's expected that Richardson will be the starter in September, it looks like he'll have to earn it.

Colts have wrapped up today's OTA practice. Coach Shane Steichen says he had Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson split first-team QB reps because it is major step in their evaluation of Richardson.

"Everything is an evaluation," he said.

  • Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson showed up to OTAs looking noticeably thinner and leaner. While he didn't go into details about how much weight he lost, Wilson is likely aiming to enhance his agility, speed, and overall performance on the field for the upcoming season.

Russell Wilson looks slimmer: "I feel great. I feel lean and mean ready to go. And focused. ''
How many pounds has he dropped?
"I'm not worried about that, I'm not counting. All I know is I'm excited to play again."#9sports

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers signed WR Allen Robinson this offseason, and so far, he's impressed with second-year QB Kenny Pickett. "I was impressed when I got here. Watching somebody from the outside looking in, you definitely see the talent. Once you actually get in the facility and are able to be around Kenny, you see why he is successful."

The New York Jets are clearly excited about having QB Aaron Rodgers on their side, including WR Garrett Wilson. "I'd be lying if I said we add someone of Aaron Rodgers' pedigree and the expectation doesn't go up a little bit."

more QB news:

  • The San Francisco 49ers signed QB Brandon Allen.
  • Los Angeles Chargers GM Tom Telesco has repeatedly said there is "no timetable" on a roster for star QB Justin Herbert and Herbert himself has said that all negotiations will likely remain private. Telesco isn't giving an update on numbers, but mentioned that no QB's deal (which points to the recent signings of Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson) will be a blueprint for Herbert's eventual pay day. "We'll cherry-pick some things out of that contract that we like. The agent will cherry-pick some things out of that contract that he likes. In the end, we'll get to a compromise at some point, something that works for everybody."
  • With the 69th (nice) pick in the draft, the Houston Texans picked Houston running back Tank Dell. The reason for this? Because CJ Stroud told them to, according to Dell.

  • The Cincinnati Bengals signed QB Trevor Siemian to a one-year deal.
  • While the team did draft QB Will Levis in this year's draft, Ryan Tannehill is still the presumed starter (unless something changes). Tannehill is healthy now, after having an injured ankle and is happy to still be in Tennessee. "You take advantage of each and every day and try to grow as a player every day that you get the opportunity to do that and you have to progress and you have to make plays when it comes down to it."
  • The Green Bay Packers announced QB Jordan Love's contract extension on Wednesday.
  • XFL QB Ben DiNucci will tryout with the Denver Broncos.
  • The Baltimore Ravens will hold a press conference with QB Lamar Jackson on Thursday. This is, presumably, to announce his contract extension.
  • The Los Angeles Rams signed QB Brett Rypien to a one-year deal.

Did the Patriots Really shop Mac Jones?

4/5/2023

Bill Belichick hasn't yet committed to QB Mac Jones starting for the New England Patriots in 2023. I think he's just being Belichick, but others seem to think the tension between the two is real.

Tom E. Curran reveals that Coach Belichick was really pissed off at Mac Jones for going outside the building for advice on how to run the offense.

Curran also believes Brian Hoyer was released because he was against the system like Mac. pic.twitter.com/ZC3URuwdQw

— Jones & Mego with Arcand (@JonesandMego) March 31, 2023
We all saw Jones scream on the sideline many times, frustrated. As he had a right to when you make your defensive coordinator your offensive coordinator (?). Jones wasn't bad his rookie season and then went through a dramatic second year as a pawn in the Matt Patricia experiment.

I know Belichick is controlling, but he's not dumb. Let Jones have another year with an actual OC before you ship him off elsewhere.

Speaking of, a report also surfaced on Tuesday that Belichick shopped Jones to teams including Washington, Tennessee and Vegas. I'm not so sure about that.

more QB news:

  • The Atlanta Falcons are determined to stick with second-year QB Desmond Ridder in 2023. He has the support of the team, including new teammate Calais Campbell. "If Ridder continues to develop to be who I think he can be, I wouldn't be surprised we're playing in late January and potentially February." Let's not over-do it, Calais.
  • The Washington Commanders will visit with Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker.
    • Hooker will also visit with the Green Bay Packers and the Titans this week.
  • Florida QB Anthony Richardson will meet with the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, and Atlanta Falcons for pre-draft visits/workouts.
  • Veteran QB Brian Hoyer signed a two-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. He'll be Jimmy Garoppolo's backup.
  • Houston QB prospect Clayton Tune will meet with several teams including the Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, and Cleveland Browns.
  • Free agent QB Trevor Siemian is visiting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday. Jake Browning is currently the only other backup QB on the roster.
  • Daniel Jones is training with New York Giants teammates in Arizona this week.
  • The end of an era (kinda): John Elway's role with the Denver Broncos is officially over. After spending time in the front office, his latest role was an outside consultant to the general manager.

CJ Stroud impresses teams at his Pro Day

The Carolina Panthers sent a ton (literally, a ton) of representatives to CJ Stroud's Pro Day at Ohio State on Tuesday. The Panthers own the No. 1 pick (acquired in a trade from the Chicago Bears) and are going to be pretty busy over the next month deciding whomst to select with that No. 1 pick. Stroud was the one they were getting to know first.

Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said of Stroud: "Really knows football. It's not too big for him. He's very comfortable being in that environment and being in command." Fitterer also said the team's brass had a dinner with the likely first-rounder.

Who the Panthers are taking with the first pick is anyone's guess, but the two seemed pretty damn chummy.

Josh McCown to CJ Stroud: “Maybe when you live in Charlotte we’ll find a court.”

The Panthers will do their due diligence on other top candidates as well, traveling to Alabama on Thursday for Bryce Young, and Kentucky on Friday for Will Levis. That's a lot of wining and dining. In fact, Panthers' execs had dinner with Young on Wednesday night.

more Qb news:

  • QB Mike White signed with the Miami Dolphins this offseason and will presumably be Tua Tagovailoa's backup in 2023. White is from Florida, putting Miami high on his list of possible destinations. What also helps? A familiarity with the system the Dolphins run. "I'm sure there's different verbiage and things like that but down to its core, it's the same system [as the New York Jets]," White said on Wednesday.
  • Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had arthroscopic knee surgery on his right knee following the 2022 season. Apparently it affected him the past few seasons - ah, so that's it.

The Las Vegas Raiders have found their Derek Carr replacement, and it's an upgrade to QB Jimmy Garoppolo. He was their best target, after losing out on Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets (maybe?), and they locked him in with a three-year, $67.5 million deal, with $34 million guaranteed.

Breaking: QB Jimmy Garoppolo is signing with the Raiders, per @diannaESPN and @AdamSchefter.

He is getting a three-year, $67.5M deal with $34M guaranteed, according to Schefter. pic.twitter.com/ZEKMRitS1P

— ESPN (@espn) March 13, 2023
The main reason he landed in Vegas was his relationship with ex-New England Patriots offensive coordinator (Garoppolo was Tom Brady's backup for years in NE) Josh McDaniels, who is now the Raiders head coach. Garoppolo has a familiarity with McDaniels' offense that it seems Carr wasn't able to grasp. And if we're going off of last year, it appears the team wasn't willing to adjust, based on how poorly Carr played. The writing was on the wall probably midseason that they needed a shot at someone else.

The one knock on Jimmy is his inability to stay healthy - if he can, he plays very well and could get the Raiders a postseason bid. If not, the Raiders have to have a backup plan. With them picking at No. 7 in the 2023 NFL Draft and Garoppolo's short-term deal, they may choose to go the draft-and-sit route.

The Houston Texans were also interested in Garoppolo - with them passing on him, it seems most likely that they'll draft their future QB with the No.2 pick and have him compete with current starter Davis Mills or sign a cheap vet like Carson Wentz.

more qb news:

  • Derek Carr said he was willing to accept a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders, but they were only allowing him to speak to one team. "I was only given permission to talk to one team. As much as I love and respect those guys, Dave and Josh over at the Raiders, how do I make that decision when it's the only time in my career that I've been, or could possibly be free?"
  • CJ Stroud, as far as betting odds go, is the favorite to go first in the 2023 NFL Draft.
  • The Cleveland Browns restructured Deshaun Watson's deal, saving almost $36 million in cap space. It was reported last week that Watson would be willing to restructure if it would allow the Browns to sign critical free agents.
  • The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed QB Easton Stick, who will backup Justin Herbert in 2023. Stick was slated to become a free agent. He signed a one-year, $1.8 million deal.
  • The Las Vegas Raiders signed QB Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $67.5 million contract.
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have interest in signing QB Jacoby Brissett. They are expected to also target QB Baker Mayfield.
  • The Carolina Panthers are "willing to move" QB Matt Corral. Corral had a Lisfranc injury for most of his rookie season, meaning there is a very small sample size. It seems Corral will be on the chopping block and the Panthers want to see if they can get a return for him.
  • The Denver Broncos agreed to terms with QB Jarrett Stidham, on a two-year, $10 million deal. The deal includes $5 million in guaranteed cash. It's a pretty hefty contract for a backup, which may indicate some plans should Russell Wilson have another down year.
    • The Broncos did not tender QB Brett Rypien.
  • QB Mike White signed with the Miami Dolphins. The deal is worth "up to" $16 million, which is usually an incentive-laden deal. I'd assume it includes playing time in there somewhere. The Dolphins need a large insurance policy with starter Tua Tagovailoa's injury history.
  • The Houston Texans signed QB Case Keenum to a two-year, $6.25 million deal. With the Texans expected to draft a QB at the No. 2 pick, Keenum will serve as a veteran presence in the QB room and a potential bridge QB (less likely).
  • The San Francisco 49ers signed QB Sam Darnold to a one-year contract. The Niners needed a third quarterback, preferably a cheap vet, to serve as insurance for Brock Purdy, who just had surgery. Trey Lance is expected to be the starter heading into the 2023 season.
  • The Detroit Lions proposed a rule that would allow for a third quarterback to be available - an emergency QB on game days. This comes after the Niners lost both of their QBs to injuries during the NFC Championship Game.

was released by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week and has already visited the New Orleans Saints. This weekend, he saw the New York Jets.

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the season with QB Mitch Trubisky before turning to rookie Kenny Pickett in Week Four. It took Pickett a bit to warm up, but he emerged from the 2022 season almost in the postseason and is getting better every week. Tight end Pat Freiermuth agrees. "He was just so much more confident and so much more urgent and knew what he was gonna do. So it took him a little bit to get going, but showed that he's the real deal."
  • Trevor Lawrence will replace Patrick Mahomes on the Pro Bowl roster, as Mahomes has something more important to take care of.
    • Jared Goff will replace Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl, as he's also playing in the Super Bowl.
  • If you weren't sure if the Pro Bowl was a joke yet, you will now. Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley is heading to the Pro Bowl in place of Josh Allen. At the time voting closed, Huntley had thrown zero (as in, none) touchdowns on the season.
  • It's not a secret that the Buffalo Bills made Josh Allen put it all out on the field. General Manager Brandon Beane says Allen took too many hits in 2022. "The only thing I'd get on to him is he's got too many bruises on him. And we've got to work on taking less hits. That's the only reason I'm ever going to criticize Josh is just take less hits." Maybe that's something Beane can work on this offseason; just saying.
  • Frank Reich has been through the wringer regarding quarterbacks - it started with Andrew Luck and went downhill. Reich is now with the Carolina Panthers and basically has a blank slate. Reich explained how his time with all different kinds of quarterbacks could help him decide which direction to go with Carolina. "I've had to work with the young, the old, the pocket passer, the guy who moves. And I think even though it wasn't always an ideal scenario, like in Indy having a different quarterback every year, I did learn a lot through it because you're forced to adapt and evolve your offense around different styles of quarterbacks."
  • Derek Carr will also attend the Pro Bowl, which should be renamed to Mid Bowl, at this point.
  • The Denver Broncos hired their next head coach Sean Payton, and one of his biggest tasks is to fix Russell Wilson. In 2022, Wilson had one of the worst seasons of his career, and his new coach is already somehow convinced he can be the one to resurrect the old Russell Wilson. "Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league. The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him." Let's ride, indeed.
