Head coach Anthony Lynn threw an unexpected name in the hat over the weekend in his first public statement since the team announced that Rivers won’t return. Saying in a radio interview that he believed backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor could become the team’s starter. Really?

“Tyrod Taylor is a heck of a Chargers starting quarterback,” Lynn told AM 570 LA Sports. “We couldn’t have a better backup right now, and now he has an opportunity to maybe step up into a starting role. I’ve had Tyrod before [in Buffalo], and I know what this young man brings to the table, in the passing game and the running game.”

Chargers New Quarterback Tyrod Taylor?

“One of the things he does very well. He takes care of the football. I believe every year he’s started in this league he’s been the No. 1 quarterback in taking care of the football. I believe more games are lost than won. So if we can just take care of the football and take it away, we’ll be OK.”

In his last full season as a starter, Taylor turned the ball over only six times. Also, led the Bills to their first playoff appearance in 18 years. Can T-Rod become Chargers starting quarterback?

“There are some guys that can win from the pocket, but when you look around the league, most of these guys are mobile quarterbacks that can move,” Lynn told 570 AM when asked what style of quarterback he prefers. “All you have to do is watch high school football on Friday nights. High school football told me 10 years ago the direction the NFL was headed.

The deal also calls for the Texans to pay $7 million of Clowney’s salary. This while the Seahawks will pay the remaining $8 million he is due this season.

For the Seahawks, the trade is a smart move. For the reason that Mingo was on the team’s bubble and likely would have been cut over the weekend, while Martin, a sixth round pick in last year’s draft, has some upside but is not on the same level as Jadeveon Clowney. If the team is unable to sign Clowney next offseason, the deal won’t cost them much. Bad for Houston Texans?

Houston Texans Betting Odds

The Texans on the other hand gave up a player that has made it to three consecutive Pro Bowls without getting a lot in return.

Jadeveon Clowney struggled with knee injuries early in his career. JC missed 15 games in his first two seasons. In 2016, he played through wrist and elbow injuries, appearing in 14 games and making the Pro Bowl for the first time. Since then, he has missed just one game over two seasons.

“It’s a big move for us,” tackle Duane Brown told ESPN. “He is a game-changer in my opinion. Just spending time with him in Houston Texans, I know he is respected by offensive coordinators, guys that have to prepare for him. I think he will really thrive for us. I know Clowney has to get a physical, but he’s excited. I’ve been telling him it’s a reputable organization here. I’m not sure why it all fell apart in Houston. I know how he works. I’m looking forward to getting him out there with us now.”

The first meeting between the two teams ended up becoming the coronation of the Patriots as a dynasty after they won their third Super Bowl title in four years at the expense of the Eagles. This season, the Patriots have the opportunity to win their third Super Bowl in four years again, but this time around, the Eagles don’t have any intention to lose again.

The Eagles opened as -5.5 point underdogs in Superbowl betting, but Lane Johnson isn’t intimidated.

“I know,” Johnson said. “Hey, Tom Brady. Pretty boy Tom Brady. He’s the best quarterback of all time, so, nothing I’d like to do more than dethrone that guy.”

Malcolm Jenkins also doesn’t believe the Patriots are unbeatable.

“Greatest quarterback of all time, but that doesn’t mean that he’s unbeatable,” safety Malcolm Jenkins said. “We’ve got a destination that we’re geared to. No matter who’s in front of us, we’ve got somewhere to go.”

Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie echoed that sentiment after his team defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game en route to Superbowl LII.

“We’re not only going to Minneapolis,” he said, “we have something to do in Minneapolis. One more win.”

Johnson added that it would be great for the Eagles to defeat the team that cost them an opportunity to win their first Super Bowl trophy in 2004.

“For what they did to us in [the] 2004 [season], to get payback, there would be nothing sweeter than that,” Johnson said. “I remember watching that game when I was 14 years old. I was hoping the Eagles would win. Just coming up short, you could feel the pain, and you could also feel the passion of what this city wants. And we’re here, so it’s right at our fingertips.”

Tomlinson, whom the Lions were hoping would solidify their offensive line, didn’t fit in as expected, and the team decided to move on from him after two seasons.

According to ESPN, the 49ers agreed to send the Lions their fifth round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Coming out of college, Tomlinson was considered one of the best guards in the draft. He started 24 games for the Lions but never quite fit in with the team, eventually losing his starting job to Graham Glasgow halfway through the season last year.

He eventually regained his starting spot after Glasgow was moved to center to replace an injured Travis Swanson.

By trading for Tomlinson, the 49ers added depth to their offensive line, which has been one of their biggest concerns in the preseason. With left guard Joshua Garnett still recovering from an injury, the 49ers have been forced to use Zane Beadles and Brandon Fusco as their starting guards.

The 49ers offensive line has done a good pass protecting job during the preseason, but they have been unable to open up holes for Carlos Hyde and the running game.

In the three preseason games that Hyde has played in, he is averaging 2.6 yards on 17 carries.

Tomlinson will likely compete for a starting job after being pushed out of the starting rotation in Detroit. He will likely compete with Beadles for the starting left guard job.

In Detroit, Tomlinson only received first-team work during training camp when newly acquired guard T.J. Lang sat out of practice for rest as he recovers from offseason hip surgery.

The 25-year-old Tomlinson has two years left on his contract.

According to Yahoo! Sports, the Browns, who seem to have fully embraced their youth movement, tried trading the former Pro Bowler this week, and decided to release him when they didn’t get any offers.

The move was surprising because Haden, even though his play slipped last season, was one of the best players on the team. It would have been understandable if Haden was a salary cap casualty, but the Browns have a lot of cap space.

“We want to thank Joe for all he has done for this organization both on and off the field,” Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. “He has been a great teammate and a true asset to the Cleveland community. These are very difficult decisions, we have the utmost respect for Joe and in my eyes, he will always be a Cleveland Brown.”

With the release coming 11 days before the season opener, Haden isn’t expected to be a free agent for very long.

According to ESPN, the Browns AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have already emerged as the front-runners to sign Haden.

The New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, and Dallas Cowboys have also expressed interest in signing the two-time Pro Bowl player.

“Tons of interest in him,” Haden’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “He will have a new deal with another team by tomorrow afternoon.”
Haden was due to be paid $11 million this season, and the Browns approached him about taking a pay cut. Haden refused the proposal and the team released him after they couldn’t find an interested party to trade with.

Haden, who was the Browns’ first round pick in 2010, has been dealing with injuries the past two seasons, which affected his play. He missed 11 games in 2015 because of a concussion and finger in jury, and three games last season because of a groin injury that required offseason surgery.

Gettleman, who was hired by the Panthers in 2013, had a 40-23-1 record during his tenure with the team. He was also the architect of the 2015 Super Bowl team.

When the Panthers hired Gettleman, they were in salary cap hell and he was tasked with fixing the team’s cap issues. In his first season as general manager, Gettleman had to make a few tough choices that didn’t sit well with some players and fans.

Steve Smith, the Panthers’ franchise leader in receptions, reception yards, and receiving touchdowns, was one of the first casualties of Gettleman’s salary purge. Smith, who was a fan favorite wasn’t very happy about the team’s decision to get rid of him.

After Gettleman’s firing was announced, Smith took to Twitter to take a final parting shot. “It’s Okay! Dave I know how you feel….. #agent89,” Smith wrote on his social media page.

DeAngelo Williams was another veteran Gettleman let go during his time with the Panthers. Williams had recently stated on several occasions he would never play for the Panthers again because of how his exit was handled.

After Gettleman was fired, Williams wrote on Twitter that he has taken the Panthers off the list of teams he wouldn’t play for because Gettleman had been fired.

“I want to publicly say @Panthers is off my list of teams I won’t play for due to the firing of that snake Dave Gettleman!,” Williams said.
Not every player or former Carolina player was happy to hear about Gettleman’s dismissal. Oher took to Instagram to share his thoughts about his former general manager.

“Guy really cares about you as a person just not the player also he’s always interested in how your family is as well,” Oher wrote. “Hated to hear that news but I know he’ll be fine. And for the people downstairs who are happy and had something to do with it downstairs, Karma’s a MF!!”
The Panthers haven’t announced Gettleman’s replacement.

No team is complete without a top-tier head coach, and the 49ers have found that in offensive genius Kyle Shanahan. The 37-year-old coach has been an offensive coordinator for the last 9 years, and 6 of those teams finished in the top 10 for points scored. Lynch and Shanahan will have to build this offense from the ground up as the offense only has 2 players who have been elected to a Pro Bowl – LT Joe Staley, and FB Kyle Juszczyk. It wasn’t long ago that the 49ers had one of the most feared defenses in the league and it appears that it’s Lynch’s focus to regain their form. He has signed four defenders that will quickly make their name known amongst Niners fans – OLB Brock Coyle, OLB Malcolm Smith, DT Earl Mitchell, and most notably All-Pro OLB Elvis Dumervil.

The best way to jumpstart an organization is to find valuable picks in the draft. San Francisco did just that by somehow convincing the Chicago Bears to sell the farm to draft Mitchell Trubisky. John Lynch received the Bears third overall pick, a third rounder, a fourth rounder, and a 2018 third rounder for the 2nd overall selection. The real kicker is that the Niners were still able to select Solomon Thomas, who was the player they had their sights on from the beginning. Lynch then used one of his extra picks combined with their second rounder to trade places with the Seattle Seahawks so they could draft Butkus Award winning linebacker Reuben Foster. Lynch went on to make four less substantial trades to fill key positions on the roster.

John Lynch has the attention of every NFL organization and we are all waiting with bated breath to see what he does next.

Nobody is happier about David Carr signing a $125 million contract than Kirk Cousins. The Redskins have franchise tagged the quarterback each of the last two seasons, and in a few weeks, they will have to either pay the quarterback, sign him to a ridiculously expensive third franchise tag, or watch him walk in free agency. The Redskins would be the laughing-stock of the league if they let him test the market. The Redskins must offer Kirk Cousins at least $120 million, or he is going to walk.

The Dolphins receiving corps has three receivers that fit a similar role, and for that reason they are going to let Jarvis Landry hit the free agent market this offseason. Landry has had a phenomenal career and recorded 1,100 yards and 4 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. Landry will likely seek top dollar and the Dolphins cannot afford to pay a receiver that much money if they want to build a dynasty.

This coming offseason the Seahawks will have to decide if they are going to pay Jimmy Graham, Kam Chancellor, or Eddie Lacy. The Hawks have just over $8 million in cap space which means they can’t sign all three. I believe the team will resign Lacy, and Chancellor to team friendly contracts, and will let Jimmy Graham test the free agent market. The Seahawks put their money in their defense so Kam will get paid. The team also focuses on the run, so Lacy will get paid. That just leave Jimmy Graham who hasn’t been properly used in his two seasons with the Hawks. Jimmy once sued the NFL to be paid like a receiver, and he will want top dollar when his contract expires. The Hawks don’t have the funds and they will pay Luke Willson instead.
