Perhaps the change in the QB reps in New England might be explained by an injury.NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport
Lucas Patrick Jersey and NFL Network's Mike Giardi reported Friday that Jarrett Stidham has been battling discomfort from a leg injury and was not expected to practice much, if at all, today, per sources
Gale Sayers Jersey informed of the situation. Giardi later added that the injury is specifically to Stidham's hip, and it will be several weeks before he's back to 100 percent.Giardi reported Stidham did not participate in anything beyond individual drills, but it doesn't sound like the coaching staff is overly concerned."I'm pretty sure he'll be ready to roll the next time we practice," offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said, .The injury comes as Stidham has been battling Cam Newton for

Second- through seventh-round draft picks are in a better position to get contract extensions after three NFL seasons than first-round picks. The fourth year isn't a contract year for first-rounders like with the other draft choices because teams have an option for a fifth year with first-round picks.As a consequence only a couple of first-round picks each year sign new deals before the start of their fourth season. This held true for the 2018 first round. quarterback , left tackle and center were the only ones to sign extensions after playing three
Pat O'Donnell Jersey seasons.Most extensions for first-round picks occur as the fifth season approaches. The option year is a contract year for first-rounders.Signings of first-round picks from 2018 have already resumed this year. The and put and in the elusive $20 million-per-year cornerback club with respective four- and five-year extensions. The recently made the league's highest-paid safety. There will be more 2018 first-round picks to sign new deals before the regular season starts in September. The season opener for most is on Sept. 11. The most logical candidates are below.Jackson participated in last week's mandatory minicamp after skipping Baltimore's other offseason workouts. He is one of the few players who has operated his entire career without an agent. Jackson indicated he spoke to Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta about his contract during minicamp. Whether Jackson had substantive contract discu sions is unknown. He hasn't taken a training camp holdout off the table, which many suspect is just a negotiating ploy.Jackson would be justified in insisting on a fully guaranteed contract comparable to . The Browns
Cole Kmet Jersey gave Watson a fully guaranteed, five-year, $230 million contract in connection with his trade from the Browns to the . The deal shocked the NFL community because of the sexual a sault and misconduct allegations Watson is still facing and he had four years worth $136 million remaining on the four-year extension, averaging $39 million per year, he signed in September 2020. Jackson is more accomplished than Watson. He established a new single-season quarterback rushing record with 1,206 yards on the ground and led the NFL with 36 touchdown pa ses in 2019 when he was league MVP. Watson has never been an All-Pro, let alone NFL MVP. There also aren't any concerns about Jackson's off-the-field behavior.Jackson is the greatest dual-threat quarterback in NFL history. He was the first player to have at least 3,000 pa sing yards and 1,000 rushing
Khalil Herbert Jersey yards in the same season when he won MVP.A franchise tag in 2023 is a certainty if Jackson plays this season on his $23.016 million fifth-year option. The exclusive franchise designation is most likely because Jackson would be prohibited from soliciting an offer sheet from other teams. The non-exclusive version would allow Jackson to negotiate with other NFL teams. The Ravens would be vulnerable to an offer sheet by a quarterback-needy team with an abundance of salary cap room that might be difficult to match. If an offer sheet isn't matched, two first-round picks are the compensation from the signing team.The two first picks for Jackson would be considered a good value relative to the trade compensation for upper-echelon quarterbacks this offseason. The Texans dealt Watson and a 2024 sixth-round pick for 2022, 2023 and 2024 first-round picks, a 2022 fourth-round pick, a 2023 third-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick. The acquired and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the for multiple players (tight end , defensive lineman and quarterback ), 2022 and 2023 first-round picks, 2022 and 2023 second-round picks and a 2022 fifth-round pick.Going year to year by playing the franchise tag game may be more appealing to Jackson than the Ravens. The 2023
Larry Borom Jersey quarterback exclusive franchise number will be the average of the top five 2023 quarterback salaries (salary cap numbers with some minor adjustments) at the end of next year's restricted free agent signing period on April 21. It currently projects to $45.648 million. This number is subject to change depending on new quarterback deals, contract restructures, pay cuts and/or releases between now and then. A second franchise tag in 2024 at a NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement mandated 20% increase over Jackson's projected 2023 exclusive number would be just over $54.775 million. Baltimore designating Jackson as a franchise player in 2025 for a third consecutive year would be cost prohibitive. A third and final franchise tag with a 44% increase over the 2024 figure would be just under $79 million.Jackson would be positioned to test the open market in 2025 after making a little more than $100 million on two franchise tags. If things get to this point, Jackson's expectation that he'll play his entire career in Baltimore could go out the window.Nelson's streak of three straight All-Pro selections was snapped in 2021 as he dealt with back i sues and an ankle injury. He has made the Pro Bowl in each of his four NFL seasons. Nelson isn't focused on his contract. Odds are he's going to become the NFL's highest-paid interior offensive lineman at some point before the regular season begins, which would render his $13.754 million fifth-year option moot. That distinction belongs to , who signed a three-year, $49.5 million deal, averaging $16.5 million per year and worth as much as $52.5 million through incentives, with the in this year's free agency.Nelson probably has his sights set a lot higher
Eddie Jackson Jersey than Scherff's deal. He is clearly Indianapolis' best offensive lineman, if not the team's best non-quarterback. In order to become the Colts' highest-paid non-quarterback, Nelson would have to sign a contract averaging more than the $19.7 million per year linebacker , also a three-time All-Pro, got last preseason. Leonard signed a five-year, $98.5 million extension, with $52.5 million of guarantees where $33 million was fully guaranteed at signing.

Dak Prescott made his return as Cowboys starter against the Lions on Sunday, and on Wednesday it was back to The Star for some practice "normalcy'' ... and maybe some more Dallas "secret sauce'' as From the win over the Lions, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore liked what he saw from his starter and noticed Prescott getting more

He says the running game is benefitting from what he calls the running games secret sauce in offensive lineman duo Terence Steele and All-Pro Zack Martin.Thats a big part of our run game is how many times can we have those two guys together in double teams, Moore said. Anytime you can get those two guys together on a defender, working up to a second level defender, usually good things are going to happen.They both come off the ball really really well. Thats the secret sauce to Terence I think at right tackle. When you can get off the ball on the cadence thats huge.''Elliott and Tony Pollard certainly liked the secret sauce being produced on Sunday. The pair rushed for 140 yards on 27 carries. Thatll work

The tension and angst have been palpable and poured over into several pointed interactions between players and O'Brien, and Easterby has been charged with trying to smooth things over in the interim as the team searches for a new coach and GM.He has long been a fan of
Kevin Greene Jersey McCown's. McCown has been immensely popular throughout his long and well-traveled career and he has generally been a factor for positive change. He has also been a tremendous sounding board for young quarterbacks, as a student of the game who has seen it from all sides, and Watson's long-term development is paramount for an organization that is now paying him roughly $40M per year. McCown served an important role with the Eagles, with his relationship with Carson Wentz of primary importance to
Anthony Chickillo Jersey the organization and the driving force for having him on the practice squad despite living in Texas. Wentz has struggled this season, despite the counseling and mentorship from McCown, and sources said the veteran agonized overtaking the Texans contract, despite it being for multiple years and with the opportunity to be near his Texas home and be back in a locker room and practicing without having to leave his family.McCown has been coaching a high school team where his sons

McCown remains very much on the Eagles' radar as a potential quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator soon after he retires, sources said, and they are among a handful of teams that believe McCown will be an head coach within three-to-five years of retiring as a player.
