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."

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tweaked his calf during last week's OTA workouts, and he'll remain limited for a little bit longer, head coach Robert Saleh said. The hope is that he's back to full strength next week.

Robert Saleh says Aaron Rodgers is “fine,” but will be limited today. They’re working to get him full by next week #Jets

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."
  • The Cleveland Browns offense was less than explosive in 2022, mostly due in large part to QB Deshaun Watson's suspension. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt spoke about the improvement that the passing game needs to make in 2023.

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

5/9/2023

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."
    • Former Elon quarterback Matthew McKay will throw at Dallas Cowboys rookie minicamp.

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."

more QB news

  • 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."

Is Trey Lance on the move?

4/20/2023

0 Comments

 
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."

Did the Patriots Really shop Mac Jones?

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

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

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

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

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

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

more QB news:

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

where the Titans stand at QB

QB Ryan Tannehill has a $36.6 million cap hit in 2022, sparking rumors that the Tennessee Titans could move on from him. Personally, I still think it happens, but as of right now, head coach Mike Vrabel is adamant that Tannehill will remain the team's quarterback in 2023. "Of course we do [expect Tannehill to be the QB]. We are in March and we are continuing to build a football team, the best football team we can. And Ryan is getting healthy. He has been putting the work in." If you say so, Mike.

The Titans currently hold the No.11 pick in the NFL Draft - the top guys are all likely to be gone by then. Tennessee could be hoping a guy like Will Levis falls that far, but if not? Can I interest you in a slightly used Lamar Jackson?

more qb News:

  • QB prospect Anthony Richardson met with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday.
    • Following Richardson's visit with the Panthers, the Panthers attended Richardson's Pro Day. General manager Scott Fitterer on the Florida QB: "Obviously, he's got a lot of talent, a lot of upside. The more you play, the better it's going to be, as far as processing and timing. But he's got everything to work with. He's more than a project, he's a really good player."
    • The Seattle Seahawks also watched Richardson on Thursday.
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trusting their life without Tom Brady to new signing Baker Mayfield and/or Kyle Trask. As for whichever QB ends up the starter, head coach Todd Bowles says they don't have to do it all in order to win. "You don't need to be the guy. We're not looking for a guy to come in here and be Superman. We have great players...You have guys that you can play with and pieces, so you do not have to be the guy."
  • Lamar Jackson is reportedly interested in the New England Patriots, but the Pats have said feelings are not mutual at this time. Former New England corner Asante Samuel advised Jackson against playing for Bill Belichick but didn't elaborate on the reason. I do know Belichick likes his players to be on time...

Lamar Jackson, my brother trust me you don’t want to play for Belichick

  • Today in, No Way That's Fucking Happening, Robert Griffin III is reportedly in talks to join the bid to buy the Washington Commanders led by Josh Harris. Yes, really. "I'm head over heels about that process," he said. "To be a player for that team, to not have my career go the way that I wanted it to, or the fans wanted it to, it would be a full circle type of moment to come back and try to help that team and that organization build the winner that the fans deserve."
  • The Chicago Bears re-signed backup QB Nathan Peterman on Thursday. He'll likely be their third-string QB, sitting behind starter Justin Fields and PJ Walker.

Veteran QB Nate Peterman is re-signing with the #Bears, per source.

The Giants have a big Daniel jones decision looming

3/6/2023

Picture
The New York Giants and Daniel Jones' agent have been working hard at hammering out a new deal for the QB, including meeting in Indianapolis. With Tuesday's franchise tag deadline looming, both sides hope they will get something done before then but are willing to tag him if they can't reach an agreement.

A new report came out on Friday that Jones is asking for more then $45 million per year. This report makes it seem more likely that the Giants will stick the tag on Jones before the deadline.

An update suggested on Friday that the team and Jones are progressing in contract talks, and still hope to get a deal done by the deadline.

An update late Saturday night stated that Jones' agents left Indianapolis with no deal in sight. As the clock ticks, Monday and Tuesday will be key for the Giants and Jones' team to work something out.

Giants GM Joe Schoen on contract talks with QB Daniel Jones, from @gmfb this morning:

"You're starting to feel the time crunch a little bit. I wish we were a little bit closer on a deal than what we are right now. But again, there's still time."

— Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) March 2, 2023

Have heard in recent days there has been progress between Daniel Jones and the #Giants. Getting something done by Tuesday doesn’t seem unreasonable. It sounds as if there will be a four at the front of the annual salary.

more QB news:

  • The New Orleans Saints are in the veteran (and possibly rookie) quarterback market and have met with free agent QB Derek Carr twice. Head coach Dennis Allen spoke highly of Carr, stating that he's the type of quarterback the Saints are looking for. "I think he's highly competitive; he's highly intelligent; he's got a great work ethic; he's an outstanding leader. Those are all qualities I like about him, and those are qualities that we like in the quarterback position."
    • Carr has met with the New York Jets twice, and head coach Robert Saleh also had good things to say about the free agent. Saleh compared his situation to Matthew Stafford's a few seasons ago before getting traded to the Los Angeles Rams. "I think he's more in line with what Stafford's career has been. If you can just get him to a place that can surround him with all the pieces to just allow him to play quarterback 10-15 times a game, it would be pretty cool."
    • A report surfaced on Sunday that Carr has a "slight lean" towards the Jets.

While the #Panthers and #Saints remain in the conversation for Derek Carr, the former Pro Bowl quarterback has a slight lean toward the #Jets as his next home as of now, per source. Nothing is final, but Jets -- who are linked to Aaron Rodgers -- have made an impression.

Wide receiver Jahan Dotson said Howell is ready to compete for the starting job in 2023. "I know he's ready for the opportunity. He has all the talent in the world. Literally, he can make every single throw on the football field, and he makes it look effortless."
  • The Las Vegas Raiders are the current betting favorites to land QB Aaron Rodgers, should he decide not to retire from the NFL.
  • QB Bryce Young has been ranked in the top ten by most experts, yet one of the knocks against him has been his size. But, according to most evaluators, size doesn't matter when having Young on the top of their draft boards. It'll be interesting to see which team wins the war of trading up with the Chicago Bears for the No. 1 pick.

The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine begins this week, and many eyes will be on the quarterbacks. With several teams desperate for a competent QB, some may have to wait for Pro Days before seeing what the young guys can do. Alabama QB Bryce Young will save it for his Pro Day, while other top draft candidates, Ohio State's CJ Stroud and Florida's Anthony Richardson, are expected to workout and throw at the Combine.

Kentucky QB Will Levis will also throw at the Combine.

There are a lot of things that can happen... As always, all options are on the table. Anything that we can do to improve this team and help us win - and to ultimately win championships - that's what we're looking for."
  • Derek Carr will continue his free agency tour, heading to the Scouting Combine to meet with teams. Carr has already met with the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets. Carr has been stressing finding the right fit as he meets with teams.
