a new home for james bradberry

5/19/2022

0 Comments

 
  • Cornerback James Bradberry signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Bradberry and Darius Slay will team up at the position. Bradberry is coming off of a down year in 2021, but if he can get back to his 2020 form, the Eagles will be difficult to pass against this season.

Sources: Former #Giants Pro Bowl CB James Bradberry has agreed to terms with the #Eagles on a 1-year deal for $10M. A big-time post-draft addition, as Bradberry lands in a perfect spot.

  • After undergoing knee surgery in the offseason, Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is recovering. He missed the Super Bowl due to a sprained MCL sustained during the NFC title game. Despite some light on-field activity this spring, Higbee's rehab process is ongoing and is expected to be ready for the 2022 season.

Higbee also said he did have surgery, FWIW. Says he’s in a good place now. https://t.co/7TMjQmxhvG

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.

  • 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

  • Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo was asked (again) if Sam Darnold is the team's starting quarterback. While it is largely speculated that the team will draft a new QB or trade for a vet (a la Baker Mayfield), McAdoo said that Darnold is the team's (current) starter. So maybe for about another week.

Ben McAdoo asked if he looks at Sam Darnold as his starting quarterback didn't hesitate: "Yes.'' He later said he put his foot in his mouth naming a starter, saying, "That is something I shouldn't have said.''

  • 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.

Bucs GM Jason Licht said re-signing Leonard Fournette and Giovani Bernard wouldn't preclude them from drafting a running back. They've done a lot of homework at RB. Despite signing Logan Ryan, who can play nickel and safety, and Keanu Neal, he said they could still draft a safety

  • 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.

Sean McVay says “good dialogue” is ongoing on Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp contracts as voluntary OTAs begin and reiterates that getting the two done are priorities for the team this spring. I *think* it would be fair to indicate that Donald further along than Kupp at the moment.

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers claimed wide receiver Miles Boykin off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. Boykin, a third-round pick for Baltimore, was riddled with injuries throughout his career amid a crowded receiver room. Boykin will try to revive his career against his former team's biggest rival.

#Steelers claimed WR Miles Boykin off waivers from the #Ravens, sources say.

  • Sean Payton said that if he were to coach in 2022, he would have stayed with the New Orleans Saints. I guesssss that means no truth to that rumor of the Tom Brady and Miami Dolphins rumor? Payton is expected to be on the media side of things at least for 2022.

Former Saints coach Sean Payton chatted with the media after his golf round, and before he was even asked a question, said he didn’t know anything about the Dolphins/Tom Brady reports. Said if he was interested in coaching in 2022 he would have stayed with Saints. https://t.co/0bEfJw8t4u

  • Rumors of San Francisco 49ers versatile wide receiver Deebo Samuel being involved in a trade have been swirling all offseason, and this just puts a pin in it. Samuel is reportedly the one who wants out, for various reasons.

“SF would pay Deebo Samuel today, tomorrow, the next day, it's not hard to figure out what the contract would
look like. This, I think is Deebo not wanting to get a deal done. The 49ers are ready, Deebo’s the one that's put a halt to everything for right now." — Schefter on ESPN

  • Wide receiver Jarvis Landry is visiting the New Orleans Saints this week. Landry obviously wants to play for a contender.

Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry is visiting the #Saints this week, per source. Should be there tomorrow. New Orleans has been looking for WR help for a while. #Browns still in the mix for Landry, too.

  • With one of the shortest retirements in history, Tom Brady announced he is un-retiring and returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just when we thought we were getting rid of this guy. I really have nothing more to say about this.

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!

  • Is this desperation season for the Las Vegas Raiders? While last season, we weren't sure if Derek Carr would even remain their starter, this offseason, we're heading into the possibility of Carr getting top QB money. This is absurd. Carr didn't play horribly last season, don't get me wrong, but the underlying theme of his entire career is that he is incredibly inconsistent to the point where he doesn't always put his team in the best position to win. Which is what you want when you're paying a quarterback this type of money, no?

As it relates to Derek Carr and the @Raiders, the sense is no proposals have been exchanged yet on an extension. You'll see various numbers being thrown around, but, as I've been reporting, any extension would likely be in the $40m per season range.

  • In the final episode of his podcast, Tom Brady says he's content with his decision to retire and that he'll take things "day by day." While many are speculating if he'll return to the game as the season looms closer, this quote kind of cements that he's not thinking about a return right now. But the conspiracy wheels will turn. Why hasn't he been placed on the Bucs' retirement list yet? I, personally, won't believe Brady has retired until he gives his Hall of Fame speech. And still, maybe not then.

Tom Brady, talking about his retirement on his @SiriusXMNFL podcast Monday night: "I'm super content and happy with how I feel in my decision. All you can do is take it day by day, nothing's promised for us ... The future is bright."

  • Of all people to understand what Odell Beckham Jr. was going through when he tore his ACL during the Super Bowl, it was his Los Angeles Rams teammate Robert Woods. Woods tore his ACL earlier in the 2021 NFL season and convinced Beckham to return to the sideline to cheer his team on to the win. Beckham should have surgery soon to repair the ACL before free agency begins in March.

From NFL Now: #Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr is expected to have surgery to repair his ACL in the coming days, but before all this... the compassion of Robert Woods in the halftime locker room led to a special moment. pic.twitter.com/FG92QjhgQQ

  • Joe Burrow's NFL career is off to a great start, with a trip to the Super Bowl in his first entire season under his belt. There is one huge concern, though: injuries. Burrow tore his ACL during his first season and suffered various injuries throughout this season. And they were all due to one thing - the lack of protection from the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive line. One former GM wonders if this could shorten Burrow's career, a la Andrew Luck. I think it's too early to speculate about those things, but if the Bengals don't tighten up their offensive line, Burrow might not make it through another season to see another Super Bowl.

Hall-Of-Fame executive Bill Polian hopes Joe Burrow doesn’t turn into the next Andrew Luck.

  • We all know by now that the Los Angeles Rams have won Super Bowl LVI. The Cincinnati Bengals were able to hold the lead until that killer Matthew Stafford pass to Cooper Kupp. Just a brutal way to lose a Super Bowl. On the bright side, the Bengals are a great young team. They have Joe Burrow, obviously, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins on the cheap and the opportunity to bolster the offensive line and be right there next year. Burrow and the Bengals will be just fine.

Sorry we couldn’t get it done. Proud of our team and our fans. Love these guys

  • All wasn't great last night for the Rams, even after winning the Super Bowl. Star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was playing the best football of his career when he went down with a no-contact knee injury in the first half. It was confirmed on Monday that he is believed to have torn his ACL. Beckham tore the same ACL back in 2020 with the Cleveland Browns. OBJ, who is set to be a free agent in March, now faces the possibility of not being ready for the start of next season.

#Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr is believed to have torn his ACL in last night’s Super Bowl win, source said. That means a long road of recovery for the free agent, who has a challenge to be ready for 2022. Beckham had 2 catches for 52 yards, 1 TD and 1 moonwalk before the injury.

  • This is a crazy stat.

Matt Stafford led the league with 17 picks this season.

It's the first time since 2007 (Eli Manning) and just the second time in the Super Bowl era that the QB with the most interceptions that season won it all. pic.twitter.com/zA3iwKane7

  • And, of course, the thing that everyone is talking about is this no-look pass from Stafford to win it all. This angle is insane.

THE DROP-BACK: Wednesday 08/04 - Stafford is tough tough

8/4/2021

rams

  • Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is taking it easy after banging his thumb on a helmet following Monday's practice. The original thought was that he would miss a few days even though his x-rays were negative, but Stafford was out on the field doing some light work during Tuesday's practice. Peep the bandage on his thumb. Brace yourselves for reports of him being "so tough."

— Lindsey Thiry (@LindseyThiry) August 3, 2021

dolphins

  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hopes that jump in Year 2 sets his career rolling a la Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Whether he does that or not has yet to be seen, but his teammates seem to be on board. Safety Eric Rowe said, "I just believe it's that year-two jump that everyone needs to make from their rookie year... Now seeing training camp, a lot more deep routes, they're allowing him the opportunity to throw it deep."

vikings

  • While the rest of the Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks are on the COVID-19 list, Jake Browning, a practice squad guy, is prepared to take advantage of his opportunity. "I've been preparing like that for two years, so the opportunity presented itself. I felt like I was ready."

bears

  • I mentioned yesterday that Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields was highly professional during his presser, something guys can struggle with during their first year. He was super honest and forthcoming in explaining how he's been preparing, and mentioned that having two 10-year QBs in Andy Dalton and Nick Foles only helps him get better. So I'm here to gush about him some more. "I'm constantly growing," he said. "A lot of people are anxious to see me play, but greatness doesn't happen overnight." Food for thought.

broncos

  • The Denver Broncos are still trying to decide who will start at quarterback for the season. Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock are still neck-and-neck for the position, but offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur says he's seeing a push from both. I think it would be more beneficial if one was better than the other, but what do I know?

Does OC Pat Shurmur see separation between Lock/Teddy B? "I've seen both guys getting better. This is the best version of Drew I've seen. He's done a really good job. And I expected Teddy to come in ... Teddy's got experience, he's got experience in multiple offenses." #9sports

— MikeKlis (@mikeklis) August 3, 2021

colts

  • Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz had surgery on Tuesday for a foot injury that's apparently been plaguing him for years. While he has to sit out anywhere from one month to three, the good news is, it's one and done. There are no other concerns with Wentz's foot, and it's onto recovery followed by the rehab process.

ravens

  • The Baltimore Ravens expect their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson to be off the COVID-19 list this weekend after testing positive for the second time in less than a year. To make things seem better and to get the heat off of the anti-vaxxer, Harbaugh mentioned that the backup QBs are getting a ton of reps and are getting better. "The fact that those two guys have gotten those reps, they've had to deal with all these pressures, all these blitzes, they've been in there with the ones and twos. It's got to be good for us from a depth standpoint, developing those guys." Well yeah, but it really doesn't help if your starter isn't getting reps with the wide receiver group that he desperately needs to practice with. ​

steelers

  • I feel like every year, we're thinking, "Is this the year when Ben Roethlisberger is outta here," and we never really get our wish. While it's been widely speculated that 2021 could either be it for Roethlisberger in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform or in an NFL uniform in general, the team is saying that they haven't ruled out a return in 2022. "It's not written in stone that this is his last year," owner Art Rooney II said. ​
  • Speaking of Steelers quarterbacks, reports from Pittsburgh have been very complimentary on former Washington QB Dwayne Haskins. Head coach Mike Tomlin has been very favorable of Haskins as well.

THE DROP-BACK: TUESDAY 08/03 - WENTZ PROBS PT. 2

8/3/2021

COLTS

  • Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz went back on his original plan to rest his foot injury, rehab it, and hope it gets better before the season begins -- now he'll have surgery, keeping him out for as many as 12 weeks. Wentz will have surgery in Indianapolis. Not a great start for a guy looking to have a re-emergence.

Colts' QB Carson Wentz is undergoing foot surgery this afternoon in Indianapolis, per source. Dr. David Porter, an orthopedic foot specialist who works with the Colts and is highly regarded, will be performing the surgery.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 2, 2021
  • So who's going to run the show while Wentz is out? Apparently, Jacob Eason is. Head coach Frank Reich says Eason is the starter right now, but could that change if the Colts decide to trade for a veteran QB? *cough Nick Foles cough*

“The job is Jacob’s right now … and he’s gotta earn it. But he’s in the driver’s seat.” — Frank Reich on Jacob Eason with Carson Wentz out the next several weeks

— Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) August 2, 2021

Bears

  • Speaking of Foles, who will likely get calls sooner rather than later, he seems to be gassing himself up for that lucky (??) team who calls the Chicago Bears to ask about him. "Listen, I'm 32. I feel great. The version of me right now is much better than the version that played the Super Bowl, I'll tell you that. And I'm confident in that." I don't know about all that, but I admire the sentiment, Nick. 
  • As for the other Bears QBs, rookie Justin Fields was a star in his press conference today, sounding like a pro already. And "starter" Andy Dalton is just avoiding all questions about whether he thinks he'll start or not and making general statements. "I've been a part of so many systems that there's not many plays that are new to me." Pin a rose on your nose, Andy.

49ers

  • San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday (again) that Jimmy Garoppolo is still the starter and that rookie Trey Lance​ isn't ready at this time to take reps with the No. 1's. So please listen to him. The Niners gave up a lot to get their guy at No.3, but he likely won't be the guy this year - and that's OK. "Trey can wait till he's at his best self, which doesn't happen overnight." 

rams

  • This year, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is probably the player with the largest magnifying glass on him since he's migrated to an actual NFL team this offseason. He's hit his first snag in the road by banging his thumb on a helmet during Monday's training camp practice. Don't panic yet -- the team thinks he'll be okay as of now.

The Rams got a scare when QB Matthew Stafford hit his throwing thumb on a helmet near the end of practice. Stafford left the field with the thumb wrapped, but holding his helmet with that hand. "I don't know anything yet," coach Sean McVay said. "I think he'll be OK."

  • In one of the biggest trades of the offseason, the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams swapped quarterbacks. While Matthew Stafford upgraded from life in Detroit to life in LA, Jared Goff was given the shit-end of the deal and got stuck with the Lions. As for the expectations for Goff this season, general manager Brad Holmes says he never saw Goff as being one-and-done up north. "I never viewed him as a bridge option. He's been a winning quarterback. I think his resume speaks for itself." ​
  • If you missed it yesterday, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as openly gay. There was so much support from players and fans around the league (including myself), including Raiders owner Mark Davis and president Marc Badain​. 

I asked @Raiders president Marc Badain for his thoughts on Carl Nassib's courageous announcement yesterday. His answer here ⬇️ #Raiders pic.twitter.com/U5BOZ4kL3I

  • While I believe that Justin Fields will start the season as the Chicago Bears quarterback, head coach ​Matt Nagy insists that the job belongs to Andy Dalton. Fields is saying all the right things so far and not disagreeing with his new team's plan. "So my job is strictly to get better, to be the best quarterback I can be, and help my team win." He can't be worse than Dalton.​

NFL Notes: Tuesday 06/22 - Eli Manning is back back

6/22/2021

  • Former starting quarterback and Super Bowl champion Eli Manning is re-joining the New York Giants -- but not in the way you would think. Manning is taking a "business operations and fan engagement role" with the team. "Staying involved with this organization is very important to me. I love the organization, love the Giants and the fans, and so I want to do anything possible to help them out and be a part of it," he said in a statement. Add this to the list of Things Eli can do that Brady can't.
  • As if we need more Tom Brady in our lives, the Super Bowl-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB is in a new episode of The Shop: Uninterrupted on HBO. In the trailer for the episode, Brady talks candidly about his time bout with free agency last offseason, specifically with one team that supposedly did not want to sign him in the end: "One of the teams, they weren't interested at the very end. I was thinking, you're sticking with that motherfucker?" I'm manifesting that this is about Derek Carr, but it could also be about Mitch Trubisky. And no, he isn't going to be talking about his pal â€‹Jimmy Garoppolo â€‹like that.
  • Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert will be learning a new offense this year under new head coach Brandon Staley. Herbert is looking to build upon his explosive rookie season and is spending "a few hours" each day studying his new scheme. "The tough part is memorizing and learning it all. That's where it's tough because you have to go in there and spend a lot of time watching film, practicing and repping it."
  • Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is getting a new quarterback this year, and it's one he can't stop gushing about. Experience is vital for McVay, who is looking forward to seeing what Matthew Stafford can do this year. "Bro, this dude is a bad MF-er. Whatever people say about him, as good as it can be, he's even better than advertised. It makes sense to him." We're going to learn a whole lot about Stafford this season.
  • Today in Things We Love To See, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib came out as openly gay on Monday. But better than that, he also donated $100,000 to The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth. Check out his message:

  • I feel like rookie New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been shit-talked lately. But his teammates are keeping the faith, which I guess, they kinda have to do. Vet safety Devin McCourty thinks he has enough leadership skills to make it work at the position. "That's a different position being a young guy because you're automatically in that leadership role. But I think he's used to that."
  • The Baltimore Ravens ranked at No. 32 in passing yards and passing attempts last season, so it's not a secret that that's a significant need for improvement heading into the 2021 season. QB Lamar Jackson agreed, saying they need to focus on consistency. "We hit some of them, but we're just trying to be more consistent this year. That's where the strides happen. It starts in practices, and hopefully, it transitions to the game."
  • Despite a previous report, Buffalo Bills fans no longer have to be vaccinated to attend Bills games this season. Erie County is basing this info off of low hospitalization rates and good vaccination rates. Tell that to Cole Beasley.

Based on few new COVID-19 cases (0 on Friday and 4 yesterday out of thousands of tests), low hospitalizations, and good vaccination rates, we are rescinding the vaccination requirement to attend Bills games and stadium events. We will revisit in future if circumstances warrant. pic.twitter.com/DO9echOulB

  • As other NFL teams are bringing in vaccination experts to educate players and coaches on the advantages of getting vaccinated prior to the NFL season, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians is going a different route. And I don't know about y'all, but I'd be one to listen to Bruce.

I asked Bruce Arians if he brought in a specialist to talk to players about the vaccine like coach Ron Rivera did in Washington.

“I’M THE SPECIALIST,” Arians said.

He told players, “If you want to go back to normal, get vaccinated.” pic.twitter.com/CDX92Kgsuh

  • San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan had some ...interesting words to say about their first-round draft pick, Trey Lance, following workouts this week. "I never say whether it was good or bad because just going through it is good even if he didn't do that good, which I thought he did." Ok, Kyle.
  • New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton injured his hand in practice last week after banging it on a teammate's helmet. Head coach Bill Belichick confirmed to reporters Thursday that Newton is doing alright and won't be doing much practicing until it heals. Rookie Mac Jones and Jarrett Stidham took all the QB reps. Godspeed.

Belichick surprisingly acknowledges Cam Newton's hand injury. "He's doing alright. He won't be out there today but it's nothing serious. ... He'll be alright." pic.twitter.com/oYYZFck1Ap

  • Speaking of Mac Jones, who hasn't exactly had the best camp, he said the collective effort from the quarterback room in New England is going to help them all get better. AKA he already has the 'media savvy' part down. "We're just coming in every day -- there's four guys and I am the rookie, so I am just learning from them. They have all been very nice to me, treated me well and I am just trying to help them out as much as I can." I'm sure they're good, Mac.
  • Matthew Stafford has a lot of work to do this offseason with his new team. And his new receivers. Stafford says he's excited to work with his new Los Angeles Rams teammates, specifically his "weapons." "There's guys in there I didn't even list that I think are really good players that are going to help us come fall, both in the receiver room, the backs, the tight ends. So I'm just excited about all of it."
  • Even though Shaq Barrett won a Super Bowl just a few months ago, AND got a pretty hefty contract to follow that up, he's not letting himself become complacent. Barrett's eyes are on Defensive Player of the Year. If he can keep his late-postseason streak going (four sacks and eight QB hits), he may be able to do just that.

  • I thought we were over this already, but Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray told reporters today that he isn't closing the door when it comes to potentially playing baseball again, the sport he almost chose over football. 

Kyler Murray continues to talk about playing pro baseball at some point. He knows he can't, he acknowledges the Cardinals certainly aren't thinking that way, but he says -- with a smile -- he doesn't want to close the door.

"I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just talking."

  • Rookie quarterback Justin Fields is getting high praise from teammates and coaches lately. This latest one comes from receiver Darnell Mooney, who was lucky enough to catch a few deep balls from Fields. "I've caught one or two deep balls from him. The very first one that he threw up to me I was smiling mid-route of just seeing the ball in the air and just where it was placed." Hmm. Andy Dalton could never.
