Patriots cut Bailey Zappe, Malik Cunningham

8/30/2023

As NFL teams got down to their final 53-man rosters on Tuesday, the New England Patriots cut everyone not named Mac Jones basically. Backup QBs Bailey Zappe (a fan-favorite) and Malik Cunningham (after a strong preseason) were both waived by the team.

Zappe, a fourth-rounder in 2022, appeared in two games as a rookie - and played well enough for fans to scream incessantly that they wanted him to start over Jones. Cunningham, who was an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2023, had a strong preseason.

Fans and media weren't the only ones a little shocked by the moves. Patriots special-teamer Matthew Slater said the news that Zappe was being cut was a shock to the whole locker room.

Matthew Slater said he has “mixed emotions” about Bailey Zappe’s release.

“Certainly, something like that is, I guess, surprising to a lot of us.”

It's possible that one, or both will end up on someone else's roster - or someone's practice squad.

more qb news:

  • Jimmy Garoppolo has had a ton of time to get to know Trey Lance over the past few seasons when they were both with the San Francisco 49ers. Garoppolo thinks Lance will end up in a good place, but just needs some playing time (we all feel this way, Jimmy). "Excited for Trey. Just a new opportunity for him. Things didn't work out in San Francisco for whatever reasons, but glad that he gets another shot. This league's all about opportunities, and when you get a fresh one like that, you've just got to take advantage of it."
  • The Cincinnati Bengals released QB Trevor Siemian.

  • The Washington Commanders cut QB Jake Fromm.
  • The Denver Broncos waived QB Ben DiNucci.
  • The Cleveland Browns officially waived QB Kellen Mond.
  • The Chicago Bears will release QB Nathan Peterman, which will leave Tyson Bagent as the backup QB.
  • The Dallas Cowboys cut QB Will Grier.
  • The San Francisco 49ers are keeping QB Brandon Allen on the 53-man roster, along with Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy.
  • The Buffalo Bills put veteran QB Matt Barkley on injured reserve, leaving Kyle Allen as the No. 2 QB.
  • QB Tim Boyle was among the New York Jets' final roster cuts.
  • The Detroit Lions put QB Nate Sudfeld on injured reserve with a torn ACL.
  • The Baltimore Ravens released both Josh Johnson and Anthony Brown, leaving only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.

Rodgers wants continuity on Jets Offensive line

The New York Jets offensive line has been up-and-down throughout training camp, and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers is ready to see some consistency. At 39, the less hits Rodgers takes week-to-week, the better.

"I thought we played a lot better up front today...it's a work in progress"

— Jets Videos (@snyjets) August 16, 2023
The Jets have been practicing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and had some trouble all day Wednesday, per reports.

It's still August, so it's not time to panic yet, but if this issue isn't fixed come September, we could see an even more angrier Rodgers if he finds himself in the turf frequently.

more qb news:

  • Cleveland Browns left guard Joel Bitonio has accused Philadelphia Eagles defensive players of taking cheap shots at Browns QB Deshaun Watson. Damn, hate to see it. "I mean, it's just in our practice, you protect the quarterback. You don't want to come close to the quarterback, you don't want to take cheap shots, things like that where there might've been a couple of questionable plays both ways today."
  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is working with the best wide receiver room he's had in his entire career, including wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Despite a small sample size of playing together, Jackson says the chemistry between the two is already there. "I feel like our chemistry, it's there. And he's a lot faster than people give him credit for. A lot faster."
    • Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley did not practice Wednesday.

Ravens who remain sidelined this week: QB Tyler Huntley (hamstring), OT Ronnie Stanley and TE Isaiah Likely.

WRs Rashod Bateman and Laquon Treadwell are also not present.

  • Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey had nothing but good things to say about Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell after the two teams participated in joint practice this week. "He looked really comfortable. He's a second-year guy, but he looked comfortable back at quarterback."
  • The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers are practicing against each other this week and Pats QB Mac Jones has some advice for Packers QB Jordan Love as he heads into his first year as a full-time starter on the toes of a future Hall of Famer. "To follow [Tom Brady], it's just trying to chase the standard that he set every day. Honestly, we're definitely two different players. That's the only advice I'd have: Just continue to grow and be yourself, right?"
  • San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance has been taking a beating from the media the past few weeks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan says Lance isn't worried about the outside noise.

Shanahan says the negativity surrounding Lance "goes with the territory" of being a top draft pick pic.twitter.com/4d0Uue7Ehu

— 49ers on NBCS (@NBCS49ers) August 16, 2023
  • We're all ready to hear who the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting quarterback will be for Week One. Apparently, so is wide receiver Mike Evans. "We want to know who the starter's going to be, you know, soon. So we can just keep working and the starting quarterback can take control of the offense."

Aaron Rodgers says he's not in new york for just one season

We all know the story by now of how Aaron Rodgers took a massive pay cut to play with the New York Jets. But, apparently, he reiterated (once again) that he plans to be there for longer than just 2023.

Aaron Rodgers on the #Jets: “This is going to be a few years partnership.”

— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 1, 2023
As someone who has thought that Rodgers would retire after the past two seasons, I'd be shocked if he played beyond 2023. It's better to bow out too soon than too late.

more qb news:

  • The Washington Commanders are all-in on second-year quarterback Sam Howell for 2023 and one of their first orders of business is getting him up to speed with star wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Scary Terry speaks about the relationship thus far. "As we've gone over the course of this offseason, we've thrown together, we've gotten some reps out here. I think one thing that strikes me with him is we have a nuanced connection."
  • After missing Monday's practice due to having a nasal procedure, Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson returned to practice on Tuesday.
    • Richardson got all 18 starting reps Tuesday.
  • San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is getting up to speed after recovering from offseason elbow surgery. Part of that means taking a day or two off during training camp. Purdy said, "Arm still feels great. Three weeks ago, we started building up to this, doing two days of throwing, a day off, two days of throwing. So I've been actually doing this plan for a couple of weeks now, and so it feels normal, it feels fresh when I go out to practice, and ready to go."
  • Peyton Manning visited the Green Bay Packers earlier this summer, and quarterback Jordan Love picked up some tidbits from the legendary QB as he heads into his first year as a starter.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) August 1, 2023
  • Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels and QB Jimmy Garoppolo previously worked alongside each other with the New England Patriots (Garoppolo was Tom Brady's backup), but McDaniels says that was a different time, and not to make much  of it. "He didn't play much for me in New England. You know, I got to be around him when he was developing, but he really put a stamp on what he's about in San Fran. I know he was coached well by an incredible coaching staff there, and he's doing some really good things here already."
  • The Atlanta Falcons are heading into 2023 with a lot of playmakers on offense, but it's still fair to question if second-year QB Desmond Ridder is the real deal. Team owner Arthur Blank seems to think he is.

Arthur Blank on Desmond Ridder: "We feel pretty strongly that he’s going to be our quarterback of the future. We have to play games and we have to see, but we feel good about him."

— Josh Kendall (@JoshTheAthletic) August 1, 2023
  • Cleveland Browns QB Kellen Mond will start in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the New York Jets. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson is also expected to get some playing time. On Mond, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters, "I think Kellen's done a great job. There was a period of just getting to know him early in the season last year. So he's done everything we've asked him to do."
  • The Chicago Bears plan for QB Justin Fields to get some playing time in the first preseason game. "It will be some play time," head coach Matt Eberflus said. "A little bit in there. But how much I'm not sure. We'll have to continue to discuss that."

Lamar Jackson, OBJ starting things off 'smooth'

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is still practicing on a limited basis (for now), but he's already catching the eye of quarterback Lamar Jackson. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jackson said Beckham is looking like his old self, regardless if he has yet to ramp things up to full speed. Jackson and Beckham plan to work out together this summer before training camp, as well.

"I think he looks pretty smooth"@Lj_era8 on his first day of minicamp with @obj: pic.twitter.com/NGoSAjbSS3

— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) June 14, 2023
On top of having new weapons like Beckham to work with in 2023, Jackson also has the task of learning a new offense under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Monken's offense consists of a more pass-happy offense, raising questions of if it's something Jackson can handle (no one can argue the fact that Jackson's best weapon is his legs). Monken seems to think there isn't anything to worry about - stating, "there's not a throw he can't make."

more Qb news:

  • Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera has said the team will continue a quarterback competition this summer, but wide receiver Jahan Dotson thinks he already knows who will come away with the job. "I think we got our quarterback situation settled. I think Sam Howell's gonna be our guy. I have complete faith in him. He makes throws look effortless on the field. He's been a great leader."
    • Speaking of Washington QBs, Carson Wentz has been studying film and throwing with former NFL coach Jon Gruden in Tampa, Florida.
  • Free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins visited the Tennessee Titans last week and will go onto visit other teams. Titans QB Ryan Tannehill thinks Hopkins will fit in nicely in Tennessee.

  • Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is on the last year of his current contract and it's unlikely he'll re-sign with the team, as I assume they want to get younger at the position. Cousins said he doesn't anticipate contract talks to begin until March, meaning Cousins could definitely hit the open market next offseason.
    • Cousins also contemplated the potential return of running back Dalvin Cook, who was released by the team last week, calling it an "outside chance."

Kirk Cousins said he hasn't had further contract talks with the Vikings since the sides agreed this spring not to do an extension. And he doesn't expect any talks until next March, when his deal expires. Kirk: "Until then, just focus on this season and the job to do right now."

  • Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert is due a new contract this offseason, but what if it doesn't get done? Herbert says he's not thinking about that, and he knows part of his job as a QB is to be present and working. Remember when people said he wasn't a leader?

#Chargers Justin Herbert on if there is any possibility he might do a hold in at camp if an extension isn't reached? "The role of the quarterback is to be out there for his team and to do everything he can to put that team in a position to win. I understand that responsibility.…

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy recently began throwing after his elbow surgery. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he hasn't specifically seen Purdy throw yet, but that he's "on pace."

— 49ers on NBCS (@NBCS49ers) June 6, 2023
It is not yet known if Purdy will be recovered enough to participate in training camp, but if he's truly on pace, he should be ready to start come September. Trey Lance and Sam Darnold are the other QBs on the 49ers' roster.

more qb news:

  • Trevor Lawrence had his best season as a pro in 2022, giving new light to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been searching for a franchise quarterback for what seems like...forever. Lawrence is eager to build on last year and he says keeping the same staff is a big plus. "To have the same staff, to have a lot of the same players, to have the carryover, and the system, that feels good having that and being able to focus on little parts of my game instead of just making sure I got the installs and know the plan coming into practice."
  • Even though the Detroit Lions drafted rookie QB Hendon Hooker in the 2023 NFL Draft, Jared Goff is the locked-in starter at the start of the season. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson says training camp will be the first test for the QBs sitting behind Goff. "I love the QBs room right now. There's a great camaraderie in there and I think that's really important when you define that backup quarterback position... We've got a really good group. They're learning, they're growing."
  • The Washington Commanders are committed to second-year QB Sam Howell for 2023, but head coach Ron Rivera said veteran Jacoby Brissett will also get first-team reps before they name a starter in September.

Ron Rivera’s presser:
• Chase Young “absolutely” remains a starter
• Rivera is confident Young’s knee is healthy but “the proof will be in the pudding”
• Rivera still considers it a competition between Howell and Brissett and it’ll be discussed whether to get JB 1st team reps pic.twitter.com/2YPbnvnDsU

  • New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said QB Aaron Rodgers will do everything other than 11-on-11 drills during this week's practice after tweaking his calf last month. Even though he'll practice in a limited fashion, Saleh said of Rodgers, "There's been some wow moments."

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."

more qb news:

  • The Washington Commanders are going all-in with second-year quarterback Sam Howell in 2023, and he has the support of the organization and his teammates. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin says his leadership is one of the best things about Howell's growth. "I think Sam has a real quiet confidence about him. He's not gonna tell people what to do, but he knows what he's doing when he gets out on the field."
  • Since undergoing elbow surgery this offseason, questions about the timeline of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's recovery have risen throughout recent weeks. Purdy started throwing last week in a limited session and General Manager John Lynch said the team is encouraged by his recovery and hopes he can be ready in time to kick off the 2023 season. "As for best-case scenario, we'll take it as it comes. The hope is he's ready for training camp. The hope is he's ready for the regular season."
    • Lynch also reiterated that Purdy is likely to be the starter in September (if he's healthy), saying, "Brock is the leader in the clubhouse, as we said, but it's open for competition."

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

5/9/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture

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."

After Eagles Super Bowl, Both Foles and Wentz are free agents

5/8/2023

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018. Now, two out of three of the quarterbacks on that roster are free agents. Carson Wentz has been looking for a new home since his release from the Washington Commanders, and Nick Foles was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.

We have released QB Nick Foles.

— Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) May 5, 2023
Both Wentz and Foles could find new teams as backups closer to camp, as teams like to have a good veteran presence heading into the summer.

Or, do they walk away? Foles said recently he is unsure about his future in the NFL after his release from Indy. "Shoot, almost every year of my career I've almost retired. Every offseason, I think, 'Do I still want to play? Do I still want to keep going?' Specifically this last year with everything."

more qb news:

  • New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner has a lot to build upon in 2023, after winning last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year. Going against someone like QB Aaron Rodgers in practice, he thinks, will help him do that. "I knew he was going to get me better, and by that I was just thinking of him making those tough throws that it's going to be hard for me to intercept and break up. But he was just telling me that he is going to be able to help me out by telling me how teams are going to try to attack me and the things that I can work on as a cornerback."
  • The Indianapolis Colts swung on rookie QB Anthony Richardson, for one good reason: "I would rather take the risk, the risk that he might fail, than pass on him and see him become a star somewhere else," GM Chris Ballard said. The Colts were tired of the ever-turning washed veteran QB carousel of the past few seasons - as they should be. This mindset is the right mindset.
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the process of moving on from Tom Brady, signing QB Baker Mayfield this offseason to compete with Kyle Trask. So why not draft "the future" in one of this year's QB prospects? Former head coach Bruce Arians says it's because he had Mayfield ranked higher than any of the 2023 QBs. "I can honestly say out of these four, I had Baker Mayfield rated higher. That's an honest opinion - coming out of Oklahoma."
  • QB Jordan Ta'amu was named the XFL's offensive player of the year.
  • Everyone with the Carolina Panthers has high hopes for rookie QB Bryce Young, including his offensive linemen. Left guard Brady Christensen said he's ready to help Young be the best he can be. "As a rookie quarterback, it's a tough gig. If we can just give him time so he can do his thing, it's gonna be incredible."
  • Despite rumors that Tom Brady will back out of his 2024 FOX broadcasting deal, Brady responded with, "fake news." Taking words from his buddy Donald Trump.
  • The New York Giants signed Illinois QB Tommy DeVito as an undrafted free agent.
  • With Rodgers now in New Jersey, the Green Bay Packers have a new situation at QB with Jordan Love. They also selected Penn State QB Sean Clifford in this season's draft, who will likely compete for the backup position. Clifford said of his new job, "It's all opportunity. Coach [Matt LaFleur] put up yesterday, 'Opportunity is either nowhere or now here.' It's really about the opportunity is now here." That's an RG3-ish quote.
    • Last season, Rodgers urged the Packers to hire QB coach Tom Clemente. Now, head coach Matt LaFleur is crediting him with Love's development. "Just watching him last year, I think Jordan's made some huge strides. I really do, and I think a lot of it is a credit to Tom, and just, he knows how to train these guys."

These workouts are voluntary, but the Jets appear to have a good turnout so far. Rodgers, who normally didn't show up to offseason work with the Green Bay Packers, is doing the little things to get in sync with his new team.

  • The Washington Commanders agreed to a deal with undrafted Fordham quarterback Tim DeMorat. Sam Howell is expected to be the starter this season. Other QBs on the roster: Jacoby Brissett and Jake Fromm.
  • The fix was in - someone tried to get CJ Stroud to slip. The Houston Texans ended up snagging him at No. 2. Stoud spoke about the situation, saying, "For me I know the film speaks for itself. Everything that I've done in college, I've been very consistent. I think I've been one of the most consistent players in college football for the last two years."
  • Anthony Richardson was mocked to the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the draft. While Richardson ended up going to the Indianapolis Colts, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team strongly considered him. "We considered him. Shoot, we flew all the way out there to go see him. Not just to see him but to be around him and watch him and how he handled himself, and his program with all the hype that was going."
