The have found their new defensive coordinator. The Jets announced on Wednesday that they have officially hired Gregg Williams Jonathan Isaac Jersey to fill the role under new head coach Adam Gase. OFFICIAL: We've hired Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator. New York Jets (@nyjets) Williams was last seen as the interim head coach of the , a role which he held from Week 9 on after the dual firings of Hue Jackson and Todd Haley. Williams was interviewed for the top job in Cleveland but it instead went to the interim offensive coordinator, Freddie Kitchens. More on the NFL Williams getting another defensive coordinator job Nikola Vucevic Jersey is not nece sarily surprising, as he's e sentially an lifer in that role, holding a DC job for at least part of 17 of the past 22 seasons. (He Evan Fournier Jersey was out of the NFL in 2012 and 2013 after his role in the Bountygate scandal became public, and he was the head coach of the from 2001 through 2003.) Williams' defenses have largely fallen off in recent seasons, and many of his schemes were criticized in Cleveland before the team took a major step forward last year thanks to an influx of talent. He has also produced e sentially league average defenses over the course of his career, ranking at almost exactly league average in yards Dwayne Bacon Jersey allowed, points allowed, and defensive efficiency, per Football Outsiders' DVOA. Williams is an interesting choice in New York as he tends to use an attacking 4-3 style of defense up front but concede short and intermediate pa ses (see: lining up 30 yards off the ball for the 2017 Browns) at times. The Jets have generally been a 3-4 base team going back to the Rex Ryan days, and Todd Bowles ran a lot of 3-4 base stuff as well. Considering nickel packages are the new base defense, though, the Orlando Magic Hats transition from one to the other is unlikely to be as stark as it used to be.

There is plenty of team-related drama that goes Miami Heat Hoodie down in the NFL during Week 17, as witne sed by . But there is also individual drama as well, with players battling to achieve season-long contract incentives.One such player was tight end , who came into Week 17 needing either 11 receptions or 116 receiving yards against the in Week 17 in order to trigger a $2 million incentive bonus.Unfortunately for Gronk's wallet, his name is .That's right -- not even a target for the tight end.One could easily picture the Patriots leadership doing a Monty Burns "exccccccellent" finger thing at the idea of stashing away $2 million here, but it's not like Gronk was one reception away from achieving the bonus and suddenly benched. 11 catches is a monster game; led the Pats with 11 targets Maurice Harkless Jersey against the Jets and he still didn't hit the catch or yards number. was a little bit off, probably because he was wearing a scuba suit during an incredibly cold situation, and the Patriots weren't winging the ball all over the place trying to run up the score. They wanted the No. 1 seed in the AFC and they wanted to Dwyane Wade Jersey get out of dodge.Plus, Gronk hurt himself with his absurd dirty hit on cornerback during Week 13 that got him suspended for Week 14 (he was back dominating against the in Week 15). If he goes off for 116 yards in Week Ryan Anderson Jersey 14, he's $2 million richer.There's some good news too: he unlocked a $3.5 million incentive bonus by going over 1,000 yards for the year. And, if he ends up being named to the All-Pro team, Gronk would unlock the $2.5 million anyway. That might be tough with and lingering. Gronk led all tight ends in receiving yards with his 1,084 and was tied with eight receiving touchdowns with Kelce and Ertz behind (10).On the bright side, Gronk finished with a very nice number of Tyler Herro Jersey catches this year. I asked Gronk if he knew how many catches he had this season:Smirked, Yeah, 69. Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) The $2 million would have been a nice bonus to unlock, but Gronk will probably survive.

Cody did hack my email, but it had nothing to do with the newsletter. Instead, that's just part of our weekly rotation here. From now until the end of time, Cody will be handling the Wednesday newsletter and I'll be on duty the other four days of the week. Cody said something about wanting to be our weekly tour guide for "Hump Day" and who was I to disagree.If you like the newsletter so far, you should click here and .

Anyway, let's get to the football, because we have a lot to talk about today.1. Today's Show: Getting you ready for Buccaneers-BearsWe had to wait three years, but we're finally getting the rematch that none of us ever knew we wanted: vs. . The last time we saw these two on the same field was back in LII when Foles took home Super Bowl MVP after beating Ryan Anderson Jersey Brady's 41-33. A few things have changed since that game with Duncan Robinson Jersey the most noticeable one being that both players have had a change of scenery since then. On Thursday's episode of Pick Six -- wait, can we even call it that anymore or has Tom Brady trademarked the word, because, man, he's been throwing a lot of those. Anyway, for Thursday's episode R.J. White joined Will Brinson to preview the Buccaneers-Bears from a gambling perspective. Tampa has some notable injuries but should the spread really have shifted dramatically towards Chicago's side? The spread opened at Tampa -5.5 but has moved down to -3.5. The guys also offer their game picks before i suing some player props that you should be thinking about betting. Also, Brinson and White worked to construct the perfect 'Showdown' DFS lineup. If you want to make some money heading into the weekend, . 2. By the numbers: Tom Brady's off to a hot start in TampaInstead of watching the vice presidential debate on Wednesday night, I decided to hold my own debate in my basement and that debate only had one question: Who's the best quarterback in history?My head is still hurting from trying to answer that question. I spent 11 hours trying to figure it out and I've gotten nowhere. ? ? Brad Johnson? Trent Dilfer? Ha Ha, just kidding, it's not Trent Dilfer. The crazy thing is that you could actually make a pretty solid case that the answer to that question is TOM BRADY. Even though he's only played four games in Tampa, Brady is on a historical start for the team and CBSSports.com's Jeff Kerr has all the numbers. Brady already has more touchdown pa ses (11) through four games than any other player in team history. He also has the second-highest QB rating of any quarterback through four games in team history. He's also 43, which has to count for something.If you're wondering just how good Brady has been through the first four weeks, be .3. Status Gabe Vincent Jersey of Bills-Titans game up in the airFor the second straight week, the outbreak of coronavirus in Tenne see might cause the postponement of a game. The status of Sunday's game between the and Titans is for COVID-19 on Thursday. If you're scoring at home, that means the organization has now had 23 positive tests since Sept. 24, including 12 players. The Titans players that have tested positive include , , , , Jefferey Simmons, , , , and practice squad players Cameron Batson, Greg Mabin, and Tommy Hudson, plus one unidentified player who tested positive Thursday. If the Bills-Titans has to be postponed, the is hoping to still play it in Week 5 with the game being held on either Monday or Tuesday. Of course, if that happens, it will create a ripple effect that will likely force the league to change a few other things. For Instance, the Bills are scheduled to play the on Thursday in Week 6 and that can't happen if their Week 5 game gets moved to Monday or Tuesday. According to ESPN.com, if Bills-Titans gets moved by a day or two, then Buffalo's Thursday game against Kansas City will be moved to Saturday. This stuff is not easy to keep track of, so you should probably write all of this down. 4. Week 5 NFL Best Bets from someone who's on a rollTom Fornelli is one of our writers here at CBS Sports and because of that, I a sumed that he spent all his time watching college football along with the occasional episode of "Gilmore Girls." However, it appears that Fornelli also pays close attention to the NFL because he is on an absolute roll with his "Best bets." Over the past two weeks Fornelli has gone 5-0-1 against the spread, which has spurred him to 8-3-1 on the year.For Week 5, Fornelli has three games he really likes, but I'm only going to tell you about one: at . Here's his take on the game: Any chance to fade in a prime-time spot is a chance I'm willing to take. The world is well aware of Cousins' problems on Monday Night Football. He's 0-9 ATS on Monday nights, but those struggles aren't limited to Mondays. Miami Heat Hats Hell, they're not even limited to night exactly. In his career, Cousins has started 37 games that kicked off after 4 pm ET. In other words, spotlight games. In those 37 games, his teams have gone 12-25 ATS.Line:Seahawks -7Pick:Seahawks 31, Vikings 17For a look at the rest of Fornelli's .5. Bill O'Brien's biggest blunders It's not every day an NFL coach gets fired after just four games, but that's exactly what happened to Bill O'Brien this week. Apparently, the had finally had enough of their former coach, who not only got them off to an 0-4 start this year but also absolutely torpedoed the roster. Over the past few years, O'Brien made multiple bad deals, which was kind of surprising, if only because the law of averages says that he should have made at least one good move in there at some point, but he never did. So how bad were the deals that O'Brien made? Former NFL agent Joel Corry decided to wade through all the stink this week so that you don't have to Jae Crowder Jersey . Not only did Corry cover everything from the trade to the deal to the timing of the Jadveon Clowney trade, but he also explained why each of those moves was a mistake. It's must-read stuff and .6. 2021 Mock DraftI have decided to include this as a personal favor to fans. Yes, we're only four weeks into the NFL season, but let's be honest, at this point, the only thing you have to root for if you're a Jets fans is for the team to lose every game so they can get the No. 1 overall pick. So what would they do if they got it? Ryan Wilson answered that exact question in his weekly 2021 mock draft. The way Wilson sees it, the era is going to be over in New York if the

This season of the is stirring up some -related drama thanks to the presence of Jordan Rodgers, the brother of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Appearing on Monday's episode of Danny Green Jersey the popular reality dating show, Jordan was recapping his date with JoJo Fletcher (the actual bachelorette) and the potential love of his life asked about his family. The youngest Rodgers brother let loose a little spiel on Aaron, the middle brother, and said the two aren't close. Except it wasn't just a quick change of the subject. Jordan more or le s bashed Aaron for the "way he's chosen to do life." but it's a staged romantic and impromptu setting that created the following conversation about "Hometowns" being in the upcoming week (JoJo visits the home of the various remaining contestants): JR: My middle brother won't be there.JoJo: And that's ... Aaron. Why?JR: Like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron really don't have that much of a relationship. It's just kind of the way he's chosen to do life. I chose to stay close to my family, and may parents and my brother. It's not Justin Anderson Jersey ideal. And I love him and I can't imagine what it's like to be in his shoes and have the pre sure he has and the demands from people he has. Don't have hard feelings against him, it's just how things go right now.JoJo: Does he know that you're doing this?JR: I don't think so... JoJo: So you guys don't talk at all?JR: No, not really.It's a very convenient storyline to broach and, let's be real, this wasn't live television, so it's pretty clear everyone involved knew what they were doing. It draws attention to the show (guilty as charged, your honor) and probably helps draw in viewers, but it's not really a super swell thing to do. So why did he call out his super-famous brother on a reality show like that? Apparently it's deep-seeded psychological i sues, Raul Neto Jersey because the following explanation occurred shortly after the above exchange:I think it's just important to know where I'm at, where I stand. Like the other day, James said something about that word "entitlement" and how I act. That just really kind of strikes a cord with me, that kind of word, because that's not who I am. Because, frankly, at every step of my life I was kind of disappointing. No matter what I did, it was never good enough for a coach or a teammate because I was being compared to someone who did it the best. When I walked away from playing -- I could have kept playing. But football didn't define me. Not having a great relationship with my brother Aaron or what people think that relationship should be didn't define me. I'm defined by the character I have with the humility I've been taught by my parents is what I want people to see. I just wanted you to know where I'm coming from with that. It's important to me that you don Wilt Chamberlain Jersey 't think my confidence is derived from anything other than the example my parents set. Because I care about you so much, and I don't want to me s it up.Jordan did play a little football himself, playing at Vanderbilt and making a couple practice squads but ultimately not being good enough to make it to the NFL. Maybe it's odd the two aren't closer given they all play football, but there are probably some pretty valid reasons for that. Lots of people have family i sues that aren't public. Families are all weird -- if you think your's isn't you are probably both lying and delusional. But when it comes to talking about your family on national television, there is always the option to simply move along (nothing to see here, Dolph Schayes Jersey people) and bypa s the subject. It perhaps could be left for conversation with your potential future wife, rather than airing whatever laundry you have on a television show watched by millions of people.

Brian Dawkins has had an unforgettable Cory Joseph Jersey year. The former Pro Bowl safety saw his longtime team, the , win the in February. He pa sed the torch as unofficial Eagles hype man and front-office executive to . And now he's into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the fiercest talents of his generation. More on NFL Had it not been for a psychiatrist, one of his former coaches and a renewed Christian faith, however, the 44-year-old Dawkins may not have made it to 2018. In fact, he may not have made it past 25.Reflecting on his five-time All-Pro career for an NBC Sports Philadelphia special, Dawkins recently that his journey was not always destined to run through Canton. On the field, No. 20 was an unceasingly impa sioned presence, complete with pregame speeches and highlight-reel hits. But off the field, as told to Gunn, Dawkins was "waging war with himself."An indefinite fan favorite in Philly, Dawkins was married in 1994, two Kyle Guy Jersey years before his rookie season with the Eagles. And during that rookie year, he faced pre sure from every direction --pre sure to overcome spousal differences, to manage "anger i sues," to raise a "colicky baby" and, of course, to survive in the ."Overall, I didn't have any outlets, and so I began to drink a little more than I needed Yogi Ferrell Jersey to, and that quickly spiraled down into depre sion," Dawkins said, per Gunn. "I went through a real dark, deep depre sion ... There were times I didn't even want to be around my family, didn't want to be around my son. I just wanted to be in a dark room Jabari Parker Jersey by myself with nobody." And that, Dawkins continued, led to thoughts of suicide."That's where suicidal thoughts came in," he said, "and then actually planning out how I would go about it in such a way that Connie (his wife) and my son would get the money from my insurance policy."Help arrived, however, in the form of former Eagles defensive coordinator Emmitt Thomas, who currently coaches the ' defensive backs. Thomas and his wife helped the safety find a psychiatrist, according to Gunn. Medications followed, but the real fix came when Dawkins sought Richaun Holmes Jersey something greater. "I rededicated my life," he said. "(I was) able to deal with that through my renewed faith. Going to more and more Bible studies. Giving my life over to the Lord completely helped me go on to become the athlete I became and the person I became."

Moments after announced he was returning to the for the 2021 season, the Chiefs decided to release the veteran running back in a move to clear salary cap space ( ). Williams was entering the final year Corey Brewer Jersey of his contract after he opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns.The Chiefs save $2.175 million with the release of Williams. Kansas City has as the No. 1 running back on the roster, even though is a free agent. Kansas City DaQuan Jeffries Jersey also agreed to terms with on a five-year, $80 million deal Monday and are in the running for to play left tackle, .Williams was never a "featured back" until the 2020 Robert Woodard II Jersey season, when he led the Chiefs with 111 carries and caught 30 pa ses for 213 yards. He finished with 711 total yards and seven touchdowns. Williams showcased his value in the postseason where he finished with 290 total yards (196 rushing, 84 receiving) Yogi Ferrell Jersey and six touchdowns. He finished with 17 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown in LIV -- scoring on a 4-yard catch to give Kansas City the lead for good Nate Archibald Jersey with 2:50 left and sealing the victory with a 38-yard touchdown run a minute later. The running back market hasn't been active in free agency, but Williams should have his suitors -- especially after having a year off to recharge the batteries.

NBA Brooklyn Nets Jeresy had nothing to do with the Patriots' latest videotape incident, but he's one of many players who have had to answer questions regarding the team's latest controversy. And the wide receiver isn't happy about it.The Patriots are trying to win the AFC East and have a big game against the Saturday. Spygate 2 is the furthest thing from Edelman's mind."Yeah, that's pretty much a joke," Edelman said, . "We haven't even thought about it, honestly. We've been thinking about other things. It's funny, but it is what it is. I don't know, it's ridiculous. My focus is on the Buffalo Bills."The is still investigating the matter in which Kyrie Irving Jersey New England hired a video crew to film an episode of the team's web series "Do Your Job," in which they follow the work of an advance scout. Video released by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports shows staffers calling out the Patriots videographers for clearly filming the Cincinnati Bengals sideline, which is a violation of NFL rules. The Patriots admitted to James Harden Jersey "inappropriately filming the field," but also said the film crew consisted of independent contractors, even though eight minutes of B-roll footage was shot. NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell said the league will make a decision when they gather all the information. There is no timeline for when a decision or potential punishment will come. "It's under review," Goodell said, . "We're going to be thorough. We're going to take our time and make sure Brooklyn Nets T-Shirts we look at everything that's pertinent here and make a decision."The Patriots could be facing some significant penalties, . The Patriots could be staring at some major fines and could even have a draft pick taken away, La Canfora said. The Patriots may not believe Spygate II is a Brooklyn Nets Hats controversy inside their locker room, but until the NFL makes a decision, there will continue to be questions about it.

has only played for the during his 10-year career, and if the team has its way, that'll remain the case into the 2021 season. New general manager George Paton said as much on Thursday, the Broncos Luke Kennard Jersey want Miller back for an 11th season. What he didn't say, however, is whether he actually expects Ky Bowman Jersey that to happen, adding that the team is still "working through" contract talks with Miller's representation.The 31-year-old Miller, who mi sed all of 2020 due to injury, is under contract through the 2021 season, but only if Denver exercises a team option that would guarantee $7 million of the veteran's $17.5 million base salary. Set to count more than $22 million against the Broncos' 2021 salary cap on Los Angeles Clippers T-Shirts the final year of a six-year, $114 million extension signed back in 2016, Miller could also be JaMychal Green Jersey released to save the team $18 million in cap space. Paton indicated earlier in the offseason that Denver was undecided about exercising the 2021 option, and that appears to remain true as talks continue.Off the field, meanwhile, the Broncos received some good news on Miller who will not face charges following an investigation in January by police in Parker, Colorado, from the Douglas County District Attorney's office. With the legal matter no longer an i Jay Scrubb Jersey sue the team must consider, the Broncos can continue contract talks with the former MVP.

is back and ready to play football.It's been a long road of recovery for the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, battling to return after suffering a torn Achilles in his left leg in December. That was only one of his hurdles, however, because it was also revealed recently Sanders had as well -- to finally fix an Elton Brand Jersey i sue that began at some point in 2017. With both injuries now completely behind him, Sanders will finally be allowed to again take the field on Monday night -- per Adam Schefter of ESPN -- when the host the in their third .Needle s to say, this is a big deal for both Sanders and the Broncos. Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders will play in a game tonight for the first time since tearing his Achilles at the Dec. 5 practice, and he will start, per source. Sanders will be introduced with Denvers starters Kawhi Leonard Jersey tonight pregame, run out of the tunnel, and be on field for first O snap. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Sanders took to Twitter to share his elation at the news. Glory to God.. I made it thru my storm and test now tonight I take the field with my teammates again. Im back stronger and better. Thank you for doing such an amazing job on my surgeries. You guys are the best in the world in my opinion. Emmanuel Sanders (@ESanders_10) The former third-round pick joined the Broncos in 2014 Los Angeles Clippers Hoodie after playing out his rookie deal with the , registering both of his Pro Bowl nods in Denver and helping the team hoist the Lombardi trophy following a 24-10 defeat of the in 50. That particular season (2015) was the second of what would become three Bob McAdoo Jersey consecutive 1,000-yard seasons for Sanders, but he's struggled to again reach those heights over the last two years.Poor and unsettled quarterback play didn't help his cause, but he was able to reel in 868 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2018 -- with at 72.4 percent catch rate -- before tearing his Achilles. Sanders will be looked upon in 2019 to be the sure-handed veteran target for newly-acquired , in a season where the the team is looking to turn things around in short order, particularly considering he NBA Los Angeles Clippers Jeresy 's an unrestricted free agent following this season."I feel good now that both of them have been taken care of," Sanders told . "I feel like I'm back to myself, finally." The Broncos are counting on it.

With in the shotgun and already accumulating something like 1,000 yards on 250 targets through two games, I will not blame you, avid fan and Practice Squad Power Rankings reader, for being completely enamored with the pa s game.Because of the shinine s of the Rams' aerial attack, you probably wouldn't believe me when I tell you that Los Angeles has finished in the top 10 in rushing attempts in three of Nick Allegretti Jersey Sean McVay's first four seasons. Dwight Schrute voice It's true. While analytics have tipped the scales toward pa sing more (and rightfully so), we mustn't forget that any Mike Shanahan disciple (like McVay) has offensive roots that reside in the run game. Shanahanians -- I'm officially trademarking that word -- want to call stretch runs over and over and over then play-action off them with offensive line movement that looks identical to that of those inside and outside zone plays.More so than anything else, the Shanahan system is famous for maximizing the efficiency of ANY running back. The quarterback friendline s of the offense is a useful byproduct.#NeverForget -- the NFC champion Rams of 2018 did have prime but got 4.9 yards per carry from and 7.0 yards per from #thiccc Hall of Famer out of absolute nowhere. You know what's mi sing from Los Angeles' ground-game, though? The next evolution of it that McVay's direct mentor, Kyle Shanahan, has adopted to his offense -- speed. If you trust your blocking system much, you might as well get running backs who generate splash plays when everything's gorgeously blocked in front of them.Since the start of the 2020 season, the Rams have just nine rushes of 20 or more yards, which is tied for the 10th-lowest figure in football. In 2018 alone, when Gurley still had deceptive, game-breaking speed, the Rams hit 14 run plays of 20-plus yards. is a reasonably quality, compact back. Justin Reid Jersey He's not a burner. The same is true for newly acquired run-game option . Plus, Henderson's battling a rib cartilage injury.And McVay hinted at a sudden need for speed in the ground game when he signed to the practice squad on Monday. Remember how you couldn't see Sonic the Hedgehog's feet because he ran so fast? His lower half was just a spinning circle. That's how I felt evaluating Hawkins at Louisville. He's built low to the ground and an absolute blur. He had six runs of 40-plus yards in 2019 and had runs of 70, 75 and 90 yards in 2020 for the Cardinal. Dude can go.In a time-tested running system that produces amazing running-back efficiency with insane on-field speed, Hawkins can be precisely what McVay and the Rams offense needs to round itself in a complete unit. Trust me, Sean. As for the Call Up Tally -- The CUT -- don't get me started. No Practice Squad Power Rankings alumni call ups to date as we enter the third weekend of the regular season. What I have noticed, and am not totally shocked by -- teams are leaning on veterans on their practice squad to begin the year. And that's sensible. The young guns will get their opportunities in time. Don't you worry. If you hear of a PSPR member getting The Call, alert me on Twitter, and feel free to use the hashtag #PSPR. Thank you in advance. Your next drink's on me. Last week, I shouted out PSPR alum for his two-touchdown masterpiece in Week 1. This week's shout goes to defensive tackle and longtime PSPR member for his sack of in the Bills shutout win in Miami. As a Nick Bolton Jersey refresher, teams can have up to 16 players on the practice squad with up to six "veterans" on it, players with no limitations as to their number of accrued seasons in the NFL. In a sense, I'm running the Practice Squad Power Rankings parallel to the NFL. That means, as was the case last year, I'm not going to feature "veterans." Telling you might eventually be a useful call-up for the ' run game was certainly not the fundamental intention of the PSPR.To continue to maintain the PSPR's sterling integrity, I'll only be including practice squaders who are rookies, second-year players, or third-year players. That's it.And as you'll see below, I couldn't resist ranking more players, given the increase in practice squad sizes this season. To stay in line with the league's figure, I hope to write about 16 individuals every Friday: 10 officially in the rankings and six honorable mentions. In the preseason, he accumulated 97 yards on 20 carries with a score, and three of those 20 carries went over 10 yards. And it's not as if he's only a low-volume, scat back with fantastic speed. Hawkins toted the rock 264 times at a 5.8 yards-per-carry clip in 2019 at Louisville. He plays bigger than his Devon Key Jersey size.I had a fourth-round grade on Green just a few months ago. He checked most of the boxes I have for a mid-round blocker who can come in and start right away. And . For reasons unbeknownst to me, Green went undrafted. But he protected like a -- you gue sed it -- early Day 3 pick in the preseason with one allowed pre sured on 43 pa s-blocking snaps. Naturally, the Texans released him on cutdown day, because Houston is completely set on its offensive line and doesn't need any young and talented blockers. Yeah right.Haynes was Seattle's fourth-round pick in 2019, and after beginning his rookie season on PUP due to a sports hernia surgery, he was thrust onto the field in the Seahawks' wild card round win over the Eagles in Philadelphia. And he looked solid! He spent most of last season on IR with another injury, but he's healthy now and was dominant -- mostly against backups -- in the preseason. Plus, he tested like a prospect at the combine. Placing Fulgham on the practice squad is no way to treat your reigning team leader in receiving yards. But here we are. The kinda-sorta rebuilding Eagles waived Fulgham at the end of August, which was weird to say the least. Sure, they've invested heavily in young wideouts of late but, umm, Fulgham is a young wideout who made the most of his opportunity in 2020 with 539 yards and four touchdowns at more than 14 yards per grab. Do I think Fulgham is the next or in Philly? No. He's probably not. But he's deserving of the top spot in the PSPR.Tuszka is back. He was a 2020 PSPR alum who was called up early in the season but rarely got a chance to actually rush the pa ser in Denver on a team that didn't have all season. Weird. Now he's on another club with a menacing pa s rush. The former North Dakota State star of course rocked the FCS ranks during his time with the Bison -- 19 tackles for lo s, 13.5 sacks in his final season -- then had a three-cone time of 6.78 at the combine. There Austin Blythe Jersey are some pa s-rush moves in his arsenal too, and now he's had time to add strength to his game.Carter has the girth, leverage, burst, and just enough pa s-rush moves to be a productive contributor if he gets The Call in Arizona. I'm very high on him. He's at No. 6 this week simply due to the veteran edge-rushing talent in front of him on the Cardinals' 53-man roster right now.It's going to ta

owner Jerry Jones is reportedly doing his best to slow down Roger Goodell's latest contract negotiations, adding another awkward twist in the saga involving the Dallas Cowboys, and the .Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that that would lock Goodell in through 2024. , and Jones has since, according to a report from Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen of ESPN, gotten heavily involved with the contract talks and begun "impeding" them.A source told Schefter that "if it weren' Derek Roy Jersey t for Jerry's involvement, Goodell's extension by now could be done."Mortensen expanded on that idea, noting that Jones has e sentially become a "de facto" seventh member of the Compensation Committee (which negotiates with Goodell to work out a new deal) and has pushed forward the idea that Goodell is "paid way too much money." "In Jones' case, according to a source, he believes he is representing the other owners," Mortensen said. "And he believes this thing needs a lot of Matt Hunwick Jersey discu sion before they just give him a contract, it's got to be a big reduction, he's made over $200 million since he became commi sioner in 2006."The NFL enjoys tax-exempt status as a non-profit, so .
