Some big names around the NFL, like III and Jr., are holding out of training camp after failing to strike new contracts with their respective teams. The , meanwhile, are e sentially holding their own big name out of practice. Coach Brandon Staley that All-Pro safety will not be a full participant in camp until both sides agree to a long-term deal. And the team is OK with that, signaling that an extension is on the horizon."We're working through his contract situation, just DeVonta Smith Jersey making sure that gets situated here," Staley said. "He's out here doing all the walk-throughs, he's gonna be working out, but he won Brian Dawkins T Shirts 't be going full speed until that gets situated. ... (We've) got full respect for Derwin, his agent ... and I think there's full respect on both sides. They know how much we love Derwin, Derwin knows how much we love him, and we're just working through that proce s right now."Staley wouldn't put a timetable on contract negotiations, but he didn't expre s concern over James' availability."We're gonna let it take shape, and when it does, he'll be out there playing," Staley said, before adding that the Pro Bowler is physically prepared to play. "(He's) 100% Philadelphia Eagles Sleepwear Underwear cleared. Derwin's ready to go. He will be out there." LAC FS #3 James underwent shoulder surgery early this offseason, so there had been some speculation about his readine s entering camp. The 25-year-old former first-round draft pick is notably approaching the final season of his rookie contract, and he's set to play under a fifth-year option that'll pay him a guaranteed $9 million in 2022.The ' recently reset the safety market with a lucrative extension averaging over $18M Andre Dillard Jersey per year. Considering James' resume, he's likely to net at least $14M per season on a long-term deal -- the equivalent of what , this year's top free agent safety, got on the open market. James has battled multiple injuries in his young career, playing just five games from 2019-2020 due to a torn meniscus and stre s fracture in his foot. When healthy, however, he's been one of the 's top playmakers at the position. As a rookie, he earned All-Pro honors for totaling 105 tackles, 3.5 sacks and three interceptions. Last season, in 15 games, James re-emerged as a star, this time for Staley's defense Rick Lovato Jersey , with 118 tackles, two sacks, two picks and three forced fumbles.

quarterback may have felt like the world was at his fingertips following a rookie season in which he made a strong case Genard Avery Jersey for Rookie of the Year honors. Mayfield and the Browns were in the media constantly last off-season. His sophomore campaign was a humbling experience, however. Now, entering an all-important Year 3, the Oklahoma product is relatively under-the-radar and embracing a much softer approach to regular season preparation."I have a different approach to this year. I think everybody who has been interviewed on our team has hit the nail on the head over and over about it is time to work. It is time to do our thing, instead of talking about it," Mayfield explained during a conference call with media Wednesday. "This is the first media thing I have done just because there is no need to be talking about it. It is just time to go do it. Right now, it is kind of moving in silence, which is fine with me. That is how I used to do it before getting on a bigger stage so I am happy to get back to those roots and like I said earlier, get back to the fundamentals to where I can accomplish the goals when the season comes around." COVID-19 and the corresponding Avonte Maddox Jersey quarantine has been the great equalizer because everyone is dealing with the same circumstances. Cleveland's quarterback has found himself going back to the basics."There has been a lot of learning throughout this proce s. During all this, it has kind of made everybody go back to the just shear fundamentals. You can't do so many complex drills and all the stuff you might and everybody might not have the same equipment, but we can teach the very base fundamentals of what this new coaching staff wants to do and go from there. I think that has been the best thing is e sentially just getting back to the basics." Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt had previously worked with and . The coach made a small change -- left foot forward -- to their shotgun stances and is asking the same of his Philadelphia Eagles Pet Gear new signal caller. Mayfield finally had a chance to create some muscle memory this month when nine teammates joined him in Texas for workouts.Head coach Kevin Stefanski will likely be robbed of the opportunity to get some additional work with his team; an allowance granted to first year head coaches. Mayfield acknowledged that the coach has done a wonderful job of engaging players during uncertain times."Kevin is obviously an extremely sharp guy. He is able to relate to everybody. That is one of the best parts about him and being around him so far. Just hearing his me sage, everything he does is with a purpose," Mayfield explained. "It is a very deliberate me sage, and he has everybody believing in that on the staff. I think that is how the foundation should be set, and he has done an unbelievable job of that. Scheme wise with him establishing the run, everything he did in Minnesota and what that does for the rest of the game and opening it up in the play action, the pa s game and also just controlling the clock, they were a very efficient team for the last few years. That is kudos to him." The anticipated implementation of a wide zone blocking offense should suit the personnel of Anthony Harris Jersey the AFC North franchise. The Browns have a strong run game with and as well as a quarterback that operates most efficiently in play-action."I think it matches up very nicely with being in control, getting checks in the run game and just being efficient. Last year, I know, was not a great year for turnovers, but I have always prided myself on not turning the ball over. That is something in the conversations we have had is where we do take our shots, it has to be smart decisions and there is nothing wrong with throwing an incompletion every once in a while. Scheme wise, I think my skillset matches up to that very well and also how he is coaching it. I think it is going to be a great fit." It is unknown when organized team activities will return but there are more important considerations. Until told otherwise, Mayfield is readying to play the in Week 1. "I am expecting to have a full season to be quite honest with you. I don't know if we will have anything in the offseason. I know there are rumors going around about a po Lane Johnson Jersey sible minicamp or things like that. I am staying optimistic because the world needs sports. We need to be safe with that in mind, but I think hopefully soon it will start to open up and we will have football back again," he finished.In 2019, Mayfield completed 317 of 534 pa ses (59.4-percent) for 3,827 yards, 22 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. His completion percentage and touchdowns were down and interceptions were up. He also took 15 more sacks than the prior year.

Quarterbacks are always the talk of the NFL, and this year, there is no shortage of star power at the position. Consider just the , a crop headlined by the agele s but chock-full of young, ascending play-makers. But what happens when the big names go down? Injuries take their toll every year, and unfortunately, that includes the QB position.But which teams are best prepared to weather a lo s under center? Here's a look at the best backups in the league:We're ranking recent high draft picks (since 2020) separate from the rest, only because they differ so much from career No. 2s. For example, if our starter went down, we might rather gamble on upside than, say, experience. But we might also prefer the proven vet for a single important start or two. So here's how we'd rank the youngsters:5. ( )It may be Darius Slayton Jersey a challenge to separate him from the Falcons' rebuilding lineup. Will his confidence translate into consistency? 4. Jordan Love ( )We've seen just one real game from him, and he's still developing his vision, but at 23, with good size and a legitimate arm, we still like his potential as a big-play pa ser.3. ( )Like Love, he's almost a total unknown, but he also po se ses some freakish athletic qualities. In his case, it's not only the laser arm but the electric legs. In a pinch, those kinds of gifts can mask other flaws. There are quite a few similarities between his situation and that of Trey Lance behind Jimmy Garoppolo with the 49ers in 2021.2. ( )He's widely considered more of a safe than special prospect, but the guy did a lot of the little things well in and around the pocket at Pittsburgh, and his preseason composure makes him a candidate to take over for Mitchell Trubisky as Ben Roethlisberger's succe sor sooner rather than later. 1. ( )No, he's not , but he's a perfect substitute in Baltimore, where he's shown in limited sample sizes that he can throw confidently and create space on the ground. It Lawrence Taylor Jersey 's not such a bad thing to have an as your emergency fill-in.10. Colt McCoy (Cardinals)You don't want him in the lineup for an extended stretch, but he's grown a bit more efficient and, dare we say, comfortable moving around the pocket into his 30s. Arizona fared decently well without Kyler Murray during his 2021 action Jerrel Jernigan Jersey .9. Tyrod Taylor (Giants)New York is overpaying considering he's struggled to even stay healthy coming off the bench in recent years, and he's not particularly accurate despite a tendency for short-area pa sing. Still, he's been a serviceable starter before, and he can move. 8. Andy Dalton ( )He hasn't posted a winning record as a QB in . He still throws a lot of picks despite an increasingly "safe" approach. But you also can't teach 148 games of starting experience, and he's proven he can be OK with talent around him.7. ( )Technically he'll enter 2022 as a starter with Deshaun Watson suspended, but he'll revert to the No. 2 spot as soon as Watson is back. Like Taylor and Dalton, he's somehow managed to be both conservative and relatively inefficient during extended action. But he's adapted quickly in sudden career changes and shown, with the , he can be borderline playoff-caliber with good support.6. ( )Keenum gets himself into trouble with his gunslinging style, but he also extends plays and wins over teammates the same way. A true journeyman after starting runs in Minnesota and Denver, he would've been a higher-upside backup plan for the 2022 Browns, who opted instead for Bri sett as Watson's suspension substitute. 5. ( )Washington got the total Heinicke experience in 2022: energetic, exciting and mercurial. He's best suited for a run-heavy or short-area attack, but his moxie, mobility and willingne s to try big throws make him one of the more enticing emergency starters.4. ( )The size and arm power might never be there, but this guy is a prototypical No. 2, oozing swagger, flashing athleticism and touting pretty Dexter Lawrence Jersey downfield touch. In 27 career games with rebuilding Eagles and teams, he's thrown 42 touchdowns to just 12 picks.3. (Colts)His disappearing act in 2021 is an indictment of the , who preferred the pricier Andy Dalton as ' predece sor. Foles and his big arm are volatile, and he needs protection up front. But few backup QBs have been more calm, collected and willing to make tight-window throws in crunch time when called upon. 2. ( )He's never been more than a serviceable full-timer, offering a steady hand over big-time throws. But he's well-liked, generally accurate, mostly avoids killer turnovers and has guided several winning streaks in talented lineups. Most teams would love to have him in their locker rooms, so long as he's only stepping in under center for a select number of games.1. Jimmy Garoppolo ( )Jimmy G has so far maxed out as a mid-tier starter, thriving more when the burden is not on his arm but rather on the system in which he plays point guard. He's also really struggled to stay healthy. And yet, at his best, he's a prototypical pocket pa ser who can make all the throws with deep playoff experience. Odds are, he Blake Martinez Jersey 'll still start somewhere, for some amount of time, in 2022.These guys make up the majority of the backup QBs in the and, to be frank, aren't separated by much. Sure, you can make the case for one over the other, but at the end of the day, you're especially hopeful they don't have to see extended action. They are listed roughly in order of preference: Drew Lock/Geno Smith ( ), Sam Darnold (Panthers), ( ), Joe Flacco (Jets), ( ), Nick Mullens (Vikings), (Jaguars), ( ), Josh Johnson( ), ( ), ( ), (Bears), ( ), ( ), ( ), ( ), Tim Boyle( )

The won a crucial battle when they held off the on Sunday, but in the proce s, they might've suffered a devastating lo s.In the fourth quarter, receiver left the game with a non-contact knee injury. After the Vic Beasley Jersey game, Rams coach Sean McVay said, Not longer after, Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Rams fear Kupp tore his ACL, which would obviously end his season. He'll have an MRI on Monday. WR Cooper Kupp suffered a knee injury today and sources say the initial concern is that it is a torn ACL. Hell have an MRI tomorrow, but this explains why coach Sean McVay said it was not good. A potential big lo s for a top team. Ian Darren Hall Jersey Rapoport (@RapSheet) The injury occurred when Kupp tried to push off his left leg while he was running a route. He went down holding his left knee before trainers quickly surrounded him.If the MRI confirms the Rams' fears, the lo s of Kupp will be a brutal blow for a contender. In eight games this season, he's caught 40 pa ses for 566 yards and six touchdowns. As a rookie last season, he exploded for 62 receptions, 869 yards and five touchdowns, establishing Drake London Jersey himself as one of preferred targets. At the very least, the Rams have such an awesome arsenal they should be able to overcome his absence better than most teams. remains the game's top running back. is one of the game's premier deep threats. is somehow still underrated. Goff has turned into one of the best quarterbacks in the game.What we could see more of moving forward is increased tight end usage. and have seldom been used, but they're both capable pa s-catching tight ends, especially when they're Adetokunbo Ogundeji Jersey not being asked to serve as a focal point. Also expect receiver to take on a larger workload. But he's an unproven player with 18 catches, 202 yards and three scores in his career. At 9-1, the Rams already have the NFC West wrapped up. But they're in a tight race with the for the top Kaleb McGary Jersey seed in the conference. Even without Kupp, the Rams will remain a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The rest of their offense is too insanely talented for them not to be. But their chances will take a substantial hit if they're forced to play the remainder of the season without him. There's no way around that.

The NFL is an ever-evolving game, which means that Julio Jones T Shirts its teams have to be ready to adapt with the times if they want to compete. When it comes to the NFL, a league with a steep learning curve and one intentionally marred with parity, the task of adapting on the fly to achieve the ultimate goal is that much more daunting. Few teams understand the challenge of returning to a Super Bowl like the , who fought their way to the Big Game seven years ago only to fall short against the , and will now face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 3 in Miami for all the marbles.Before the clash with the Ravens in yesteryear, they hadn't been since the mid-1990s, and that's evidence that unle s you're the under Bill Belichick -- who themselves were eliminated in this year's wild card -- you have to turbo through the exceedingly small window of opportunity when you get the chance. Now having dismi sed the in their first NFC title bout in six seasons, a lot had to go right for the 49ers to get to where they are today.That included being able to gut through the things that went wrong to remain one of the best teams in the entire .So, how'd they do it? It was a mostly magical season, yes, but was there a quick fix? One single acquisition that suddenly turned them from a 4-12 club to one that went on a tear in 2019 before finishing with a 13-3 record? The answer is a resounding "no", and it's time to review the proof of just how much risk they took to get to this point because that's truly the only way anyone can appreciate what the 49ers are showing us in 2019. You don't have to like them. You can even loathe them if that's your preference, but football law dictates we all put some respec k on their name.That's law.A new chief of police - General managerThe 49ers hadn't had a winning season since 2013, and team CEO Jed York had seen enough. York decided to blow up the team in 2017, but he wasn't looking for retreads in his new leadership. His first big risk was naming John Lynch general manager, a former nine-time Pro Bowl safety with no experience Michael Turner Jersey running an . York was laughed at by some and written off as crazy by others, but it turned out he knew exactly what he was doing when he rolled those dice. Lynch engineered a fairly rapid turnaround and one that can only truly be appreciated by di secting what's occurred since he took the reins.One of the most talented executives in the league, he is outperforming general managers and other front office personnel from around the league who have a decade's more experience than he does, and at the tender age of 48 -- no le s. Young, talented watch commander - Head coachArguably the best decision York made was giving the green light to Lynch to bring in Kyle Shanahan as the new head coach in 2017 after a disastrous one-year experiment with Chip Kelly that followed an unproductive one-year stint under former defensive line coach Jim Tomsula -- the two coaches combining for an abysmal 7-28 record in two seasons following the decision to move on from Jim Harbaugh. With the emergence of Sean McVay in Los Angeles, the 49ers wanted to find a young, creative leader of their own.Enter Shanahan, an offensive coordinator who led the to a only two seasons prior. Things didn't end well in that game after the Falcons took an infamous 28-3 lead before ultimately losing to the Patriots, but Shanahan took the le sons learned with him to Santa Clara. Nearly the same age as York when he got the job, it was clear the 49ers weren't afraid of risk, but the next task was as important as the previous ones: determining who'd be the Kyle Pitts Jersey franchise quarterback.Lynch and Shanahan already had someone in mind, and it wasn't .Trade for the big gun - QuarterbackKaepernick had already begun to wear out his welcome by the time 2017 rolled around, and I'm not talking about his silent civil rights protests during the national anthem -- although many would argue that played a part. On the field, he couldn't regain the magic he had when he took over for and led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and Shanahan had other ideas for the offense that didn't fit Kaepernick's skill set. The friction between Kaepernick and the club led to his release and the decision to trade with the Patriots and land backup in exchange for a 2018 second-round pick. In 2018, with le s than a handful of starts under his belt for the 49ers, the two sides agreed on a five-year, $137 million extension; and that served notice Garoppolo would be the QB of the future in San Francisco. Things weren't all roses from the outset, however, with the young QB suffering a torn ACL that cost him 13 games that season, and his preseason return in 2019 was inconsistent at best, leading some to begin to consider his trade value and/or cap savings if released.Instead, Garoppolo took that leap forward, throwing for a career-best 3,978 pa sing yards with 27 touchdowns to only 13 interceptions, serving up a huge platter of crow to his doubters in the proce s. Some of those doubters were the , but um, well, you know -- 349 yards with four touchdowns and a win tend to disagree. Emmanuel Sanders reels in the deep pa s from Jimmy Garoppolo, falls over, gets up and outruns the Saints defense for the score. (: ) Rob Lowder (@Rob_Lowder) Set up a task force - Running backsBy now you're gathering just how much the 49ers do not care about conventional thought, and if you still haven't grasped it, take a look at what they installed behind Garoppolo. While most NFL teams are either looking for a bell-cow running back or a Kendall Sheffield Jersey one-two punch tandem who complement each other in skill set, Lynch and Shanahan opted to go with a three-headed beast that made it difficult to game plan for. After all, if an opposing defensive coordinator cut off one of Ghidorah's heads, there were still two remaining; and if you were good enough to lop off two, well, still one remained. The names of the kaiju's heads are , , , with the latter having spent time in Atlanta with Shanahan. The three halfbacks can do damage on the ground and in the air, and combined for a ma sive 1,939 rushing yards -- despite injury -- to go along with 15 rushing touchdowns. All told, they produced 2,419 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns total, and those are numbers that helped keep the heat off of Garoppolo, with opposing pa s rushers having to account for the 49ers rushing attack.Oh, and none of them were drafted by the 49ers. Mostert was a journeyman who worked his way up from the practice squad, Coleman hailed from Atlanta and Breida was an undrafted free agent of the 49ers in 2017. And those who labeled Mostert a throwaway Keelan Doss Jersey before he took a single snap this season have a stomach full of crow after seeing him to power the Niners to the Super Bowl.Talent evaluation grade: A+ Raheem Mostert.That's it. That's the tweet. San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) Establish the riot line - Offensive lineGaroppolo and the aforementioned three-headed feaster of men's s

burst onto the NFL scene with his 80-yard catch that abruptly ended the ' 2011 wild-card game against the . Four years and three Pro Bowl selections later, Thomas helped Denver capture its third Vince Lombardi Trophy. and -- the two quarterbacks who enjoyed the most succe Bud Dupree Jersey s with the wideout -- were among Thomas' former teammates who congratulated him . Thomas, 33, is third all time in Broncos history in career receptions (665), as well as second in receiving yards (9,0550) and touchdown receptions (60)."Every day I enjoyed practicing with you, playing with you, being your teammate, being your brother," Tebow said in a video to Thomas, via . "I'm so grateful for you, grateful to come in at the same time as you, learn with you, Anthony Rush Jersey grind with you, be able to have a lot of ups and downs. But, man, I just want you to know you're someone I always trusted, looked up to, loved playing with. I consider you a friend, a brother, a great teammate. I'm so proud of you, everything you've accomplished, your hard work, your dedication, your pa sion to the game, but also the type of person you were. I loved always just being around you, being with you. You made other people's lives better because they were in your presence, and I think that is really cool."Thomas parlayed his succe s with Tebow into even more succe s when Manning came to Denver in 2012. During their first three seasons together, the duo connected on 297 pa ses for 4,483 yards and 35 touchdowns. In 2015, Thomas caught 105 pa ses for 1,304 yards and six touchdowns while helping the Broncos defeat the in 50. "It was an honor and a privilege to play with you, to be your teammate," said Manning, who will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame later this summer. "I always had great respect for your toughne s, your work ethic, your fearle sne s acro s the middle, your ability to make big catches Tennessee Titans Pet Gear in big games. I never played with anybody as big and strong and powerful and fast as you."Thomas' slew of congratulatory me sages also included tributes from cornerbacks Champ Bailey and , linebackers and , safety Brian Dawkins, receiver , and coaches Gary Kubiak and John Fox."I just wanted to reach out and say how proud I am of you and your career -- as a person, as a player," Kubiak said. "I have been very privileged to coach some of the great receivers in football in Jerry Rice, , the great right there in Denver, and to have the opportunity to be with you for two years and one of those being a championship year means a great deal to me. I wish you all the best. You're a great player Josh Reynolds Jersey and you're a great Bronco." After trying to on the Broncos' roster, Thomas (who dealt with Achilles and hamstring injuries during during the last several years of his career) was able to retire as a Bronco after also spending time with the and ."There's so Jayon Brown Jersey many things I can say. I'm humble, grateful, appreciative," Thomas said . "I'm just happy to say I'm done and (football) did me well. I just wanted to be considered one of the best to come through Denver. I did my best each and every game -- but it wasn't really about me. I just wanted to go out there and do what's best for the team."I've been just trying to find myself. Leaving football is a tough thing. I was trying to find what I wanted to do next and build a relationship where I can help people, trying to find something that I love."

A seat at the table was what was hoping to have during the later stages of his time with the . Rodgers' wish has been granted, as the reigning two-time league MVP has been given more input on Packers' Christian Kuntz Jersey personnel decisions since the start of the 2021 season."Brian and I have a real good relationship," Rodgers said of Packers GM Brian Gutekunst during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfree Show. "We communicate often about a number of different things, not just personnel stuff, but also the team and direction, mindset and energy and how everybody's kind of fitting together."Rodgers said that he has had conversations with Green Bay's bra s ahead of the trade deadline (Nov. 1). The Packers will likely be players at the deadline after a disappointing start to the season. The Packers are 3-3 Najee Harris Jersey following this past Sunday's lo s to the ."I trust that they'll be in the mix on certain guys that they like," Rodgers said. "As always, it comes down to need price cost of those certain players, but I know Brian's going to do what's best for our football team and if he feels like adding a guy or two to the mix, then I'm sure he's going to try and make that happen." Receiver will likely be one of the areas the Packers will look to strengthen at the deadline, especially with veteran dealing with an injury. Rest a sured that Green Bay -- like most other looking to deal before the deadline -- will reach out to the about a po sible trade after Carolina dealt wideout to the this week. Carolina has several promising young wideouts on its roster, including and . Denver could be another option given the ' disappointing start to the 2022 season. For the right price, the Broncos Ben Roethlisberger Jersey may be willing to part with , a third-year wideout who has just seven targets in five games.While it looks like they will look to add pieces to their roster before the deadline, the Packers haven't fully utilized one of the best players currently on their team. Running back , a 2020 Pro Bowler who signed a hefty extension last offseason, had just 89 touches during the season's first six games. GB RB #33 Att70Yds409TD1FL1 "Every time that there's a lo s ... there's James Washington Jersey always going to be narratives that come out of it," Rodgers said. "An easy one for us is we've got to get the ball to Jones more, and it's true. When he touches the ball, good things happen. He breaks tackles. He's probably our most elusive guy with the football in his hands. "He's a dynamic player. And it's not like we're not trying, we have a lot of plays in the plan for him. We call certain pa ses just for him. We have runs designed to get him to football. We have an awesome running back in as well that we're trying to get Pittsburgh Steelers Home Office the ball to. There's a lot of things that can dictate how much we get him the ball."

Four months after signing with the , has Tre Norwood Jersey finally made his first appearance at the team's training facility. Brady showed up bright and early on Thursday, which was the first day that quarterbacks were allowed to report to training camp.In a normal offseason, Brady would have visited the Bucs' practice facility multiple times before Thursday, but this isn't a normal offseason. Due to coronavirus, the Buccaneers' facility had been closed down since March, which is why Brady hasn't been able to show up there until now, even though he .Although for the Buccaneers, several players were allowed to show up early.

For while special coordinator John "Bones" Fa sel might be all-in on his veteran kicker, the Cowboys bra s and head coach Mike McCarthy have now shown they aren't. It remains to be seen, however, if the signing of Naggar means a po sible parting of ways with the 34-year-old -- who is set to enter the final year of his three-year deal and will hit the team's salary cap for $2.18 million -- or if they're simply trying to push him back to the better version of himself (a suming that's po sible). The Cowboys are scanning the entire roster to figure things out ahead of free agency and the 2022 , and that includes financially, having a list of Steve Largent Jersey in-house free agents they'd like to retain.To that point, releasing Zuerlein would save them $2.485 million toward the salary cap (be it as a pre- or post-June 1 cut), and you can bet that tidbit is circling the mind of a frugal executive like Stephen Jones.Additionally, when the team brought in competition/a temporary replacement in 2021, i.e., , Zuerlein's production instantly improved, and often suffered a downturn each time (three) Hajrullahu was released. Zuerlein finished the regular season with a career-low PAT mark (87.5%), and a player once nicknamed "The Leg" because of his boot strength mi sed five of his 14 attempts from 40 yards or Nick Bellore Jersey greater. There was plenty of reason for the Cowboys to make a move months ago similar to the one they just made, including giving another potential look to -- who was literally perfect in his short stay in Dallas -- but it looks as if they're working to course correct heading into a pivotal 2022 season for McCarthy.

Ian Book Jersey I hated to put it on the shelf. It's kind of what I'm dealing with."Instead of worrying about his helmet, Brees is instead focusing on what he needs to do to win his second ring in 2019. "Worry about things you can control," Brees said. "I didn't really control that Kwon Alexander Jersey one, right? They were outlawing it. They scan your head and they do all this fancy stuff. And I figure if it's going to help protect me a little bit more then that's probably a good thing."
