Tom Brady
is once again reiterating that he does not intend to return to playing football. Rumors about his return will swirl forever, but recently resurfaced because of his involvement with the Las Vegas Raiders. I won't believe it until I see it, personally.

more qb news:

  • The Tennessee Titans have a new offensive coordinator this season and with that comes learning a new offense. QB Ryan Tannehill says the team is going through the motions - and that includes making mistakes. "A lot of new stuff, terminology, concepts, blocking schemes, the whole thing. There are a lot of mistakes being made, but they're good mistakes. We're growing from them."
    • Rookie QB Will Levis is also not beating himself up over mistakes. "I know I have more opportunities tomorrow and the next day, so I'm not going to beat myself up. High standards is the name of the game."
  • Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell is heading into his first season as a full-time starting quarterback. And with that, comes leadership. Howell is wearing a microphone at practice so the coaching staff can hear him making plays and engaging with teammates. "It's real interesting to watch the way you can see him stepping into the huddle," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He's taking charge, taking command."
  • The New England Patriots landed free agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster this offseason, giving QB Mac Jones a new weapon. Jones says himself and Smith-Schuster are already gaining chemistry on and off the field. "He just came off a Super Bowl team, so what a great value to our offense. Obviously, when he gets on the field, that's going to be great because he has the experience and he loves talking about football."
  • The Kansas City Chiefs are highly optimistic about second-year receiver Justyn Ross, with head coach Andy Reid saying he already has the trust of QB Patrick Mahomes.

“Justyn is coming along. He feels good, his foot feels good (and) the surgery that he had worked out well up to this point. He’s made some nice plays for us out here. I know Pat’s (Mahomes) got trust in him, so that’s good to see.” - Andy Reid. https://t.co/GEwuwOWWf0

  • Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love and wide receiver Romeo Doubs are starting off the offseason on the right foot with a constant connection. In a two-minute drill, Love and Doubs connected on four passes during Thursday's practice.
  • While the San Francisco 49ers appear committed to QB Brock Purdy when he's healthy, general manager John Lynch is also impressed with Trey Lance and how he's progressed this offseason. "We're extremely high on Trey... Trey came back off a broken and dislocated ankle, and he's out there, has had a really, really quality offseason. So we still remain very high on Trey."
  • Houston Texans rookie QB CJ Stroud is taking first-team reps at OTAs and is in line to start come September. New head coach DeMeco Ryans is impressed by Stroud thus far. "CJ is progressing well. Each day, he continues to get better, continues to get more comfortable with the verbiage of the offense and his command of the huddle."

Packers sign Jordan Love to two-year deal

5/3/2023

One of the biggest things the Green Bay Packers had to do this offseason after trading Aaron Rodgers is figure out what to do with now current starter Jordan Love. The Packers had until 4 pm ET to pick up or decline Love's fifth-year option; instead, they opted to sign him to a two-year deal to replace it. The deal is worth up to $22.5 million, with $13.5 million guaranteed.

The #Packers have agreed to terms with QB Jordan Love on a new contract though 2024, per sources. pic.twitter.com/gde0DZKHXn

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 2, 2023
This deal is a good bet for both sides - Green Bay gets a starting QB for cheap, while being able to show some confidence in him, Love gets a little more security and a chance to prove it.

If it works - great. The Packers are willing to push some chips into the center of the table in saying that Love is a valuable starter and he could play out the current deal. If it doesn't work, it's manageable for the team and not that expensive.

I, personally, have not seen enough of Love to make a determination on how he'll be as a starting QB. I know this deal says that the Packers have seen enough to take the chance - but they also didn't really have much of a choice once the Rodgers trade went through. We'll have to wait and see on this one.

more Qb news:

  • When you draft a young quarterback, your first two orders of business are as follows: a) protection; and b) weapons. The Carolina Panthers selected QB Bryce Young with the first pick, and checked off box No. 2 by selecting wide receiver Jonathan Mingo in the second round. Mingo says his job will be to help Young be better. "I can turn a little 5-yard hitch into an 80-yard touchdown. I can just make things easy on the quarterback. You've got to make the quarterback look good."
    • Young will wear No. 9 with the Panthers.
  • Jared Goff has two years remaining on his contract with the Detroit Lions and they drafted rookie QB Hendon Hooker in the second round of this year's draft. While the Lions are contemplating an extension for Goff (I'd imagine it would depend on Hooker's recovery and his ability to play), GM Brad Holmes says both sides are currently in a good place. "We've had a dialogue there and we've had a dialogue with his agent."
  • Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is now with the New England Patriots and therefore, went from Patrick Mahomes to Mac Jones. But, he has nothing but nice things to say about Jones. "I think his role, his leadership is something that I've seen from afar. His work ethic is hard - he's a hard-working guy. Very, very smart at what he does in just working on his craft."

  • The Los Angeles Chargers are determined to keep the Justin Herbert train rolling. And for good reason. New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was handpicked by the team (and Herbert), as they think he can bring out what Herbert does best. "I think that's one big part of this thing, is that there's been a lot of success. Justin has had a lot of success his first few years. We want to make sure we build off of that and not start from scratch."
  • The New Orleans Saints waived QB Jake Luton.
  • One of Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson's remaining civil court cases could go to trial soon, according to a statement. Water is wet.
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed QB Baker Mayfield to compete with Kyle Trask for the starting job, but the team could also add another veteran before camp, Jason Licht says. "We probably would like to bring in a vet. Just somebody that has been there, done that and can be in that room with them, not necessarily somebody that we think is going to take over the competition."

Is Trey Lance on the move?

4/20/2023

Picture

The San Francisco 49ers have been taking calls from teams asking about QB Trey Lance. While that's as far as the process goes, teams calling about his availability before the draft is significant. Brock Purdy is likely to be the starter whenever he is fully recovered from his elbow injury that he sustained in the NFC Championship Game. The Niners also have QB Sam Darnold on the roster.

Two intriguing landing spots for Lance could be the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, as he's familiar with Titans GM Ran Carthon and Titans head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Sources: The #49ers have received inquiries from several teams looking into a potential trade for former No. 3 pick QB Trey Lance. The conversations have been the result of SF fielding the calls, not making them, with teams aware that Brock Purdy is likely the future starter. pic.twitter.com/ddOZjZq5Xn

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 19, 2023
A report states the Minnesota Vikings were one of the teams to speak to Lance at this year's scouting combine. There were also rumors swirling around that time about a potential Kirk Cousins trade, so this may be something to keep an eye on.

more Qb news:

  • Deshaun Watson didn't participate in last season's offseason program and Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski says he thinks he'll be better in 2023 after a full offseason. "Certainly, for Deshaun to have that season under his belt, those experiences and be able to learn from everything that's happened last year, into the past, I think he'll be a better player for it." Maybe, hear me out, he shouldn't have done what he did to earn his suspension, then?
  • CJ Stroud visited the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday.
  • Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes worked out with one of the top WR prospects on Wednesday. Boston College receiver Zay Flowers traveled to Texas to work out with Mahomes at the request of the team. Imagine getting that call when you think your visits are over. The Chiefs will likely have to trade up to get Flowers, however, as he's one of the top prospects in this year's NFL Draft.
  • Andy Dalton signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason, knowing he'd be sitting behind the No. 1 pick. While it's looking like it's going to be Bryce Young, Dalton said of the young QB, "Size hasn't mattered to him. He's still been able to make the throws you need to make."
  • Sam Howell is supposed to be (key word: supposed to be) the starter for the Washington Commanders in 2023 and is determined to take advantage of the opportunity. "That's what I've been trying to do ever since I got here is to get this opportunity. So, I'm definitely going to try to do everything I can to take advantage of it."

Eagles ink Jalen Hurts to new mega-deal

The first of the quarterback extensions has dropped. The Philadelphia Eagles signed QB Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million extension to kick off the week.

The #Eagles and Jalen Hurts agreed to terms on a five-year, $255 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, sources tell me and @RapSheet.@AgentNicoleLynn negotiated the deal, which includes $179.304M in guarantees and a no-trade clause. pic.twitter.com/NsLzULcE1M

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 17, 2023
The Eagles were adamant that getting an extension done for Hurts was a priority this offseason. It comes at the perfect time, as Hurts is heading into his final year of his rookie contract.

The extension includes $179.304 million in guarantees, a no-trade clause, and up to $15 million in additional incentives.

On the heels of a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP-caliber season, it'll be interesting to see how Hurts rebounds in 2023. With a strong core on the roster, the Eagles are set up for success with Hurts.

I talk more about Hurts' deal and what it means for the other QBs in line for an extension in Monday's Patreon episode.

more QB news:

  • With pre-draft visits continuing through Wednesday, Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson will meet with the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and Baltimore Ravens this week. The Titans is the most intriguing one, as they are rumored to be one of the teams who would be most likely to trade up to the No. 3 spot - potentially to grab Richardson. Atlanta picks at No. 8, and the Ravens could be looking for a replacement for Lamar Jackson, should he not sign the franchise tag.
  • Speaking of Jackson, he is not expected to attend Baltimore's voluntary offseason program, as he hasn't signed the tag. No reason to panic now, but if he does not attend mandatory workouts and/or minicamp, we can start to wonder if he will attend training camp this summer.
  • Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs began their offseason program virtually, and they're doing the same in 2023. QB Patrick Mahomes has gathered teammates in Texas to work out together as they check in with coaches and other personnel via Zoom.
  • Bryce Young has canceled his remaining pre-draft visits. Young has already visited with the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, which is likely where he'll be selected next week.
    • Young is now an overwhelming favorite to be drafted first overall.

The Panthers have also met with Florida's Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young from Alabama and have attended all of the top prospects' Pro Days.

Carolina will have their choie of quarterbacks with the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in two weeks. Young is currently the favorite, but we all know it's #lyingseason.

more qb news:

  • With the Aaron Rodgers trade still on standby, it leaves everyone wondering exactly what the Green Bay Packers are asking in return. Apparently, they're still holding onto getting a first-round pick in 2024. The New York Jets may not be in on that gamble, considering Rodgers may not even be playing in '24.
  • The NFL and NFLPA approved a QB-specific helmet designed to cut down on concussions. The helmet is designed to protect the part of the head that QBs hit on the ground, which was responsible for about half the concussions suffered by QBs. "This helmet performs better in laboratory testing than any helmets we have ever seen for these sorts of impacts."
  • QB prospect Anthony Richardson wrote a piece for The Player's Tribune, which is worth a read. In it, he addresses his critics: "I know the things people are picking apart. People talk about whether I can be accurate. They say I don't have touch. They say I can't throw short. They say a lot of things. All I gotta say is: Watch how hard I work."
  • Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was named one of Time's Most Influential People of 2023.
  • The saga continues. Despite many thinking the arrival of WR Odell Beckham Jr. to the Baltimore Ravens would be a slam dunk to QB Lamar Jackson either playing on the franchise tag or signing a long-term deal with the team in 2023, Beckham says he was given no assurances to Jackson remaining on the team. "My thoughts would be that he would be here."
  • The New England Patriots signed QB Trace McSorley to a one-year contract. McSorley is familiar with new Pats OC Bill O'Brien.
  • The Arizona Cardinals tried out QB Jeff Driskel for some reason.
  • Dorian Thompson-Robinson has visited the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Chargers, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Philadelphia Eagles. Thompson-Robinson is expected to be a late-round pick.

The New York Jets are supposed to sign Aaron Rodgers eventually, but we're still waiting. As things stand right now, Rodgers has said he intends to be shipped off to New Jersey, but... we're still waiting.

As things stand right now, Rodgers worked out with former and future teammate Allen Lazard recently, who was on Rodgers' rumored 'list' of players he wanted the Jets to sign before he came aboard.

Bills want Josh Allen to take less hits

While it's one of the things that makes Josh Allen 'Josh Allen,' the Buffalo Bills want to see their star quarterback take less hits in 2023. The trouble so far, has been the balance. While injuries are a part of the game, quarterbacks who have abilities like Allen are far more likely to get injured. Head coach Sean McDermott said it's going to be a group effort to get the best out of Allen and protect him at the same time.

More McDermott on Allen taking hits: "We have to get that adjusted and it's never going to go completely away, but it has to get where it's workable."

— Judy Battista (@judybattista) March 26, 2023
It'll be interesting to see if and how the Bills address this problem - I don't expect Allen to adjust his play at all, but there are ways the team can take some of the heat off of him. Like, adding an explosive running back in this year's draft? Trading for Derrick Henry? We shall see.

more Qb news:

  • The Detroit Lions re-signed backup QB Nate Sudfeld.
  • Daniel Jones got a four-year $160 million contract this offseason and the New York Giants believe they've made the right decision, mostly due to the fact that he'll be playing in the same system. "It's his second year in the system. I don't think he's had continuity since he's been there," head coach Brian Daboll said. "I think that he really adapted to the things that we were asking him to do. We tried to implement a lot of the things that he likes to do."
  • Despite the two sides going quiet on the issue, WR Allen Lazard says he has no doubt Aaron Rodgers will soon be a New York Jet. Lazard recently signed with the Jets, presumably with the hope that Rodgers will soon be on the way. But when? Rodgers made his intentions known almost two weeks ago, and as of right now, no official trade has gone through as the two sides work on compensation. "There's no worry on my end," Lazard said. I guess we'll have to wait.
    • Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the Jets have made progress alone by just having Rodgers' interest in joining the team (even though maybe it's the only team?). "Two years ago when we first got there, just thinking about where we were and how far we've come, to have a guy like him want to play for us is pretty cool..."
  • Fresh off of a Super Bowl win, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes went right back to work in his usual offseason workout routine. Mahomes injured his ankle during the playoffs and played through it; it seemed like it barely affected him at all. The same thing is true of his offseason workouts, according to head coach Andy Reid. "He's doing good, he feels good. This time, he jumped right back into workouts, and working the ankle, rehabbing the ankle. He's lifting and running the parts that he could run, and he didn't miss a beat on that."
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing for life without Tom Brady, but the team is still determined to compete. Head coach Todd Bowles said they'll miss Brady's 'aura,' but they'll have to make a go of it with Baker Mayfield instead. "We have a lot of good players on our team on both sides of the ball. We have some pieces to fill, but we have a lot of good football players on our team."
  • Jimmy Garoppolo will be the Las Vegas Raiders' new QB in 2023, and while many people aren't convinced he's an upgrade over Derek Carr (he is), general manager Dave Ziegler is confident his team will improve with Garoppolo. "I think he's won 70 percent of his starts. And you can caveat with the whys and all that stuff but, at the end of the day, he was a part of winning a lot of football games. He's a proven leader."

Aaron Rodgers intends to play for the jets

3/16/2023

He finally said it. Aaron Rodgers stated on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday that his intention is to play for the New York Jets. The question is, when? Whenever the Jets and the Green Bay Packers work out the compensation. There were rumors that Green Bay was seeking multiple first-round picks for the almost 40-year-old QB, but those were redacted, saying both sides were still negociating.

Then, there was talk of a supposed "wish list" - Rodgers had a list of guys (allegedly) that he wanted the Jets to look into and potentially sign. Not true, he said. (To a point - former Packers WR Allen Lazard signed with the Jets on Tuesday.)

Some other fun nuggets from his appearance - Rodgers went into his infamous "darkness retreat" 90% sure he would retire. He explained he came out of his meditation fest thinking that the Packers no longer were interested in his services, and decided the chip on his shoulder was way too big and he wanted to continue playing, but elsewhere. Rodgers also mentioned that one of the main reasons he picked the Jets (other than that it appears no one else is that interested) was new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, whom he previously worked with in GB.

That one spot elsewhere appears to be New York, or New Jersey. Whichever. And it's a matter of when, not if.

more QB news:

  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing QB Baker Mayfield to a one-year, $8.5 million contract. Mayfield showed he deserved another (maybe a last?) shot at a starting job last year with the Los Angeles Rams. This is likely a 'prove it' deal, as he'll compete with Kyle Trask for the starting job.
  • The Washington Commanders signed vet QB Jacoby Brissett to a one-year, $10 million contract, with $8 million guaranteed. The team insisted earlier this offseason that second-year QB Sam Howell will be given the chance to start, but head coach Ron Rivera later took it back. It appears the two will compete for the starting job. Or they could draft someone. Or they could trade for Lamar Jackson. Who really knows with this team.
  • The Las Vegas Raiders explored a trade for Rodgers (and a scenario where they moved up to the No.1 pick, presumably for a QB) before signing Jimmy Garoppolo. The link there is Rodgers' former teammate and No. 1 wide receiver, Davante Adams.
  • The Baltimore Ravens placed a right of first refusal tender on QB Tyler Huntley, meaning the team can match any offer Huntley gets from testing free agency. Huntley is destined to be a backup, but he could have interest from other teams, as many are in the market for a solid backup QB.
    • The Ravens have also been involved in the free agent QB market, due to the uncertainty with Lamar Jackson. They had interest in Mayfield and Brissett, among others.
  • Speaking of tenders (mmm... chicken tenders), the Carolina Panthers did not tender restricted free agent QB PJ Walker, meaning he was free to test the open market. Walker shortly thereafter signed a two-year deal with the Chicago Bears, where he will backup starter Justin Fields.
  • The Indianapolis Colts did, indeed, release QB Matt Ryan after one season. We hardly knew ye.
  • The Los Angeles Rams did not tender QB Bryce Perkins. The team is interested in bringing him back in a backup role, but for way less than the $2.6 million price tag on said tender. (Still thinking about chicken tenders.)
  • The Buffalo Bills signed QB Kyle Allen, to compete for the backup QB job to back up one of his best friends (IRL!) Josh Allen.
  • The Kansas City Chiefs restructured QB Patrick Mahomes' contract, clearing $9.6 million in cap space for 2023.

Josh McDaniels and I feel that way, by what he's accomplished and who he is as a player, and who he is as a leader on that team. So, he'll be involved in those conversations."

General Manager Chris Grier spoke about their willingness to extend their starting QB. "I mean, I can't lie and say no, but it's not something that's gonna make us afraid to do something long-term at all. The one thing he's had, he's been banged up, but he always comes back and bounces back and plays hard and performs."
