Matt Ryan benched, again

12/22/2022

Merry Christmas to me!

The Indianapolis Colts are benching quarterback Matt Ryan - yes, again - for Nick Foles. Foles will be their third quarterback to start this season. Definitely not what they had planned.

The Colts are changing quarterbacks again. Nick Foles will take over for Matt Ryan as the starter Monday Night against the Chargers, and the plan is for Foles to start the final three games of the season. Announcement expected Wednesday afternoon.

— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) December 21, 2022

The first time Ryan was benched, rookie Sam Ehlinger took over, and head coach Frank Reich was later fired. Then, the Colts hired Jeff Saturday for some reason, went back to Ryan, and blew the biggest lead in NFL history.

Foles, their last hope, is a former Super Bowl MVP and has only played two snaps this season - the final snaps of a 24-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Foles said on Wednesday that he had no frustration towards the Colts for not turning to him earlier in the season.

The Colts take on Justin Herbert, an actual good QB, and the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.

more Qb news:

  • Lamar Jackson did not practice again on Wednesday, putting his status for this week in jeopardy.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) was not at practice. This would be his eighth straight absence.

It’s not looking likely that he’ll be back for Saturday’s game vs. Atlanta.

  • The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, but Dak Prescott played well, as long as you don't count that pick-six in overtime. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he doesn't fault Prescott for the loss. "We can win with him playing like that, to be trite. I thought he played outstanding."
  • Colt McCoy will not play this week, due to a concussion. QB Trace McSorley will start for the Arizona Cardinals, which will be quite an adventure.

Cardinals have ruled out quarterback Colt McCoy vs. the Bucs due to his concussion.

  • Kirk Cousins is the NFC offensive player of the week. Cousins led the Minnesota Vikings to the biggest comeback in NFL history against the Indianapolis Colts, throwing four touchdowns after the half.
  • Josh Allen was named the AFC offensive player of the week, completing 25-of-40 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns in a Buffalo Bills win.
  • Ryan Tannehill is facing an "uphill battle" to play this week. Tannehill injured his ankle during Week 15's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Malik Willis would get the start should Tannehill not be able to go.
    • Because of Tannehill's injury, the Tennessee Titans signed QB Josh Dobbs off the Detroit Lions practice squad. Head coach Mike Vrabel said adding Dobbs helps the team with depth as they prepare for this week.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles have not yet ruled out Jalen Hurts, but Gardner Minshew will make the start for at least this week. The team isn't that worried, though, according to tight end Dallas Goedert. "He's just got a lot of respect because he comes in here to work every day, prepares like the starter even though he knows he's the backup. He knows his role, and he just waits for an opportunity like this, and we all have faith that he's going to make the most of it."
    • Hurts was not seen at practice on Wednesday.
  • The Houston Texans will continue to rotate quarterbacks this week, per Pep Hamilton. I guess it's the only thing that makes them look like a competent football team.

Pep Hamilton on using Jeff Driskel in two-quarterback system, said it was initially an 'experiment,' now it's a part of the offense to 'create conflict,' disrupt the defense. 'We hope it will limit the potential looks we will see.'

  • The Jaguars listed Trevor Lawrence as questionable this week with a toe injury.

While this season was mostly a wash for the Arizona Cardinals, now the question lingers if he'll be ready to go by the start of the 2023 season.

  • Kenny Pickett has entered the NFL's concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's game. Backup Mitch Trubisky took his place and would likely get the starting nod should Pickett not be able to go in Week 15. This is Pickett's second such injury in two months, which is cause for concern.

Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch and Mason ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

  • It's not a secret that Matt Ryan is nearing the end of his NFL career. It's also not a secret that this year has been particularly hard on Ryan, as it seems he's constantly slammed into the turf at alarming rates. Ryan says he's not focused on if he'll continue playing after 2022. What will happen to my content?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a non-contact knee injury on the third play during Monday Night Football.

Murray was in the middle of a scramble when his knee appeared to buckle. (I'm not going to post the video, but you can look for it if you want to see it.) Murray was carted off the field, surrounded by teammates, and quickly ruled questionable to return. Murray was later ruled out by the team in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Backup QB Colt McCoy replaced him.

Reports began to emerge throughout the game that Murray had torn his ACL. Murray will have an MRI on Tuesday to confirm.

  • San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be one of the lucky few to be able to tell his grandchildren that he intercepted the Tom Brady one day. Thankfully, he has proof. Greenlaw made sure to get Brady's signature on the ball for safekeeping.
    • Is there a chance Brady could be on the Niners' field in 2023, but on the roster? "I don't go there," he said. "I'm just trying to get this right, and see what we can possibly accomplish."

  • Justin Herbert had a big night on Sunday, setting the record for most passing yards through his first three seasons with 13,056. The previous record-holder was now-retired QB Andrew Luck. Herbert had this to say about Luck: "I've got a ton of respect for Andrew Luck. For him as a football player, as a person, as a teammate - I think it's just cool to be in the same conversation as him."
  • The Dallas Cowboys had to breathe several sighs of relief after coming away with a near-loss to the worst team in the league, the Houston Texans. Amongst a string of blowouts, the Cowboys were heavily favored in this one and came away with a 27-23 win. Dak Prescott thinks this type of win will make them a better team in the long term. "This will serve us more than I think the Minnesota game or even the way we finished the last game when it comes down to it because we're going to play some tough games as we get going."
  • Brock Purdy won fans over as he beat Tom Brady in a blowout, and he won over his teammates as well. Nick Bosa praised the rookie's performance: "I had a lot of confidence in him, but obviously, it's the NFL, and you've got to perform. And he did that pretty darn good."
    • Purdy is dealing with an oblique injury and had an MRI on Monday. He is expected to be ready to play on Thursday despite the injury. Purdy was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

#49ers QB Brock Purdy is getting an MRI today on his injured oblique, per source.

Purdy got hurt on the game's second drive Sunday, and obviously played well after it. So, not a lot of concern pending further tests. But a quick turnaround for Thursday night in Seattle.

  • Patrick Mahomes threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions on Sunday, but he's thankful the rest of the team was able to step up when he had a bad day. "The defense made a lot of stops in critical moments when we were putting them in some bad situations."

  • Andy Dalton will remain the New Orleans Saints' starter for Week 15.
  • New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White is day-to-day after suffering a (series of) rib injury on Sunday. Saleh wouldn't commit to Joe Flacco or Zach Wilson starting in his place, or as the backup. I know what the obvious choice is.

Saleh is non-committal on whether it will be Flacco or Wilson for QB2 this week, so it sounds like there’s a chance Wilson could get a bump up. #Jets

  • The Atlanta Falcons announced their quarterback change - to rookie Desmond Ridder. Head coach Arthur Smith said that while it was a performance-based decisiont to bench Marcus Mariota, he will go to injured reserve, ending his season.
  • Russell Wilson exited Sunday's game with a head injury and he was placed in concussion protocol, where he remains. Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said on Monday that all they can do is go through the process. "

  • The Baltimore Ravens are unsure who will start at QB this week. With Tyler Huntley in concussion protocol, it could be Anthony Brown this week. Head coach John Harbaugh said he has no update on Lamar Jackson's status, which likely means he won't be able to go after missing just one week with a PCL sprain. "I really don't have any updates that I would be allowed to share on that."

more qb news:

  • The Dallas Cowboys have put together two dominant performances two weeks in a row, and a lot of that has to do with quarterback Dak Prescott's confidence. "I am as confident as I can be and always have been in this team. As I told y'all earlier in the week, it doesn't matter who says anything about what they believe in. I know what this team is capable of, especially with this defense that we have."
  • Justin Fields' status remains in the air for this week, but the New York Jets are preparing as he will play. Fields was listed as questionable by the Chicago Bears.

Robert Saleh said they’re preparing for Justin Fields Sunday. “If he plays, we’re going to hit him. If he doesn’t, we’re going to hit the next guy.” #Jets

Rams make Donald highest-paid Non-QB in NFL HIstory

6/6/2022

0 Comments

 
As soon as the confetti fell from the ceiling, rumors began swirling that legendary defensive tackle Aaron Donald was mulling retirement. However, with thoughts of 'going on top' on his mind, Donald ultimately decided to return to where he won a Lombardi. Famously known for creating the 'Dream Team,' the Los Angeles Rams are preparing to do the same this season with Donald, pushing an extra $40 million his way over the next few seasons. With a grand total of $95 million through 2024, Donald is now the highest-paid non-quarterback.

Sources: The #Rams have re-worked All-World DT Aaron Donald’s 3 remaining contract years to give him a massive $40M raise through 2024, making him the highest paid non-QB in NFL history at 31 years old. He gets $95M(!) through 2024. pic.twitter.com/SoDRw4GHE4

  • Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz isn't thrilled with how his contract talks are going with his team after being franchise-tagged this offseason. Schultz is said to be refusing to attend further Cowboys OTAs, and new reports even suggest an absence from mandatory minicamps. Dallas has until July 15 to strike up a deal with Schultz, the team's top tight end, and will otherwise make $10.931 million in 2022 if an agreement isn't reached. These talks likely stalled by Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku signing a massive four-year, $56.7 million extension last month.

  • 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

  • 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.

Fallout from the Deshaun Watson situation, with Ryan starting over in Indy. Ryan gets a contract adjustment with more guaranteed money.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 21, 2022
  • The Falcons have to replace Ryan somehow. They're taking a chance on former Las Vegas Raiders backup Marcus Mariota. Mariota can do what Ryan cannot - use his legs.

Falcons announced they have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with QB Marcus Mariota, who reunites with HC Arthur Smith.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 21, 2022
  • 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.

So after missing out on Deshaun Watson, New Orleans turns to an old friend at QB.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 21, 2022
  • Baker Mayfield is currently on the trading block as his team recently traded for Deshaun Watson via the Houston Texans. So far, Mayfield doesn't have a home and the teams currently in the market for a starting QB are dwindling. The Carolina Panthers are one of those teams, and apparently they are not interested in Mayfield's services.

Despite twitter reports:
I'm told the Panthers are still NOT interested in Baker Mayfield.

These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

  • The Houston Texans are shopping quarterback Deshaun Watson after he was not criminally charged on Friday (which, I'll remind you, does not mean he didn't do it). A handful of teams are interested in Watson, but two have so far made offers. After whiffing on Sam Darnold last offseason, the Carolina Panthers have been interested in Watson for a while. The New Orleans Saints are also looking for a new signal-caller, as Jameis Winston is slated to become a free agent.

The #Saints and #Panthers have made offers for #Texans QB Deshaun Watson and are likely to meet with him soon, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. Other teams also are involved. Watson has a no-trade clause and wants to meet with teams before formally waiving it anywhere.

  • Kansas City Chiefs quarterback married longtime girlfriend Brittany Matthews this weekend in a Hawaiian ceremony. Patrick's brother, Jackson, was the best man at the wedding. Others in attendance included Travis Kelce, Tyrann Mathieu, and his college coach, Kliff Kingsbury. Congrats to them and little Sterling!

  • Cincinnati Bengals tight end CJ Uzomah was injured in the AFC Championship Game a few weeks ago, but it appears as if it won't affect his status for the big game on Sunday. Uzomah's injury was initially diagnosed as an MCL sprain, which is about as good of news as the team could get based on how severe it looked. There's no official word on if we actually will see Uzomah on the field during the Super Bowl, as he has not practiced yet, but his ripping off his leg brace kind of tells us all we need to know.

  • Like I said yesterday, it is Conspiracy Szn. And here's another one. Tennessee Titans wide receiver AJ Brown tweeted the official symbol of conspiracy season: the eyeball emoji alongside a photo/graphic of himself as a multi-sport athlete. The catch? Brown was drafted to play baseball in 2016, and opted for football instead. I think it worked out pretty well, but who's to say?

  • The Houston Texans hired Lovie Smith as their head coach on Monday. Following the hire, candidate Brian Flores' lawyer sent out a release that his client was not offered the job because of his pending lawsuit against the NFL. On Tuesday, general manager Nick Caserio was asked if Flores' situation impacted Houston's hiring process. In true Texans' fashion, during his explanation, a fire alarm cut the press conference short.

Can’t make this up. In the middle of Caserio’s answer regarding the Brian Flores lawsuit, the fire alarm goes off. @HoustonTexans pic.twitter.com/iAk2azZRzk

  • And because we just can't gush about Joe Burrow enough, this video of him mic'd up during the AFC Championship Game will make you love him even more.
