most franchises would rather use their first-round picks to draft pretty much any other position

As a result, most franchises would rather use their first-round picks to draft pretty much any other position, barring special teamers. Reich said they’ll be testing Young on the fundamentals frequently, and it also helps a new coaching staff get on the same page as far as what its expectations are. That case was brought by Jennifer Love, who helped create NFL Network and rose over 19 years to become the first female vice president at the N.F.L. Media Group. Love claimed the league’s human resources department never addressed her complaints about “pervasive sexism in the workplace and that the N.F.L. had a ‘boys club’ mentality.” She told human resources and her managers that several top male executives were openly hostile to her and men with lesser experience were repeatedly promoted above her. Flip-flop a few of Madeleine L’Engle’s wrinkles in time, and we’re spending all offseason talking about Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts and an Eagles dynasty-in-the-making. Philly’s quarterback dazzled on the biggest stage, accounting for 374 total yards and four touchdowns before Mahomes played king. “It’s not going to be monotonous with all the 1 o’clock games we’re used to,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said on NFL Network. Seattle has already made sure to add depth to the safety position in the event Adams cannot play, signing former Giants defender Julian Love in the offseason. Ultimately, though, the Seahawks would prefer to have a player for whom they gave up plenty to acquire — and received a second-team All-Pro performance in his first season — available at the start of a promising season. They’ve got a tough slate, but the Patriots have a chance to make a playoff push in 2023. If they can hover around .500 through Week 8, they’ll enter a midseason stretch with home games against the Commanders and Colts before their Week 11 bye and a chance to show their worth against comparably tricky teams like the Giants, Chargers and Steelers before the homestretch. If the Patriots are an improving team, they’ll set themselves up for an intriguing stretch run. Tagovailoa clicked with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but he missed four starts and a playoff game because of the concussions.

This might be the fastest offense in football — there’s plenty to love, starting with the mind of Mike McDaniel — setting up Tua for success. One of the league’s toughest schedules won’t help, but the key is staying on the field. The league said it wrote to James and other attorneys general on May 18, 2022, to outline its policies and practices, but did not receive a response before Thursday’s announcement. For better or worse, quarterback Jordan Love has an awesome opportunity to show why the Packers were ready to move on from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers have five prime-time games — tied for the fifth most in the NFL — and Love can win over a lot of people if he plays well under the spotlight. Lawrence’s leap was one of football’s most exciting events a season ago. Per NFL Research, he became just the second quarterback since 1950 (with 10-plus starts) to double his passing touchdowns and halve his picks from the previous year. He trimmed off-target throws in real time and showed a knack for putting the offense on his shoulders. The attack finished with the league’s ninth-best DVOA — sixth overall in passing — and gave the Chiefs a fight in the playoffs. The rematch. The Bills’ 2022 season ended with such a thud that the entire offseason has been spent wondering if their championship window is closing. The team that sent the Bills into a cold, dark winter? Their Week 9 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals. This midseason game will give the winner an early edge in playoff seeding and could answer a pointed question: Did the Bills get enough weapons to add to Stefon Diggs for them to stay with the AFC’s most explosive offenses? Since then, he’s missed at least four games per season. After missing every contest but the first in 2022, Schneider is rightfully concerned about Adams’ status going forward, enough to give him as much time as necessary to get back to 100 percent with zero worries or limitations before taking the field. The NFL released the full schedule for its 104th season on Thursday night after revealing five international games and several others earlier in the day and Wednesday. He looked good today.

Some of it’s a feeling-out process, like between he and (QB coach) Josh (McCown) just talking about. We do a lot of little flexibility and freedom with each quarterback within their footwork, depending on what they’re comfortable with. We kind of have certain requirements that are musts, and then there are other things that are more of a feel thing for each quarterback. There’s a little bit of a working that out with Bryce and Josh in this process, but that’ll go smoothly. The league said Thursday that it intended to “fully cooperate with the attorneys general,” adding in a statement that “these allegations are entirely inconsistent with the N.F.L.’s values and practices” and that it does not “tolerate discrimination in any form.” And NFL fans will get their first look at Aaron Rodgers in a Jets uniform when New York face the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football on 11 September. It will be a tough test for Rodgers in his Jets debut: the Bills have won the AFC East for the last three seasons and have one of the league’s best quarterback-wide receiver duos in Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. The Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said: “We are excited to again compete in the NFL’s International Games and face off against the Falcons and Bills in London. Hosting the Falcons at Wembley Stadium will be awesome only to be followed by playing on the road against the Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

I’m pumped for the experience and know the support from Duval will be strong at both games.” He’s doing well. The company answer is that we don’t know exactly, you know, timeline, Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. “He’s got to keep progressing here. Very bad injury, very unfortunate for Jamal. For our team last year, really. He was crushing it in the first half of that Denver game last year. You could see the intensity.You could see the difference maker that he truly is early in that game. So, we really missed him throughout the season.”Health wasn’t initially much of a concern for Adams when he arrived in New York via the sixth-overall pick of the 2017 draft. He played in every game in his first two seasons, and 14 of 16 contests in 2019. Bryce made a great impression, Reich said. “Obviously, mentally and physically, (he) looked the part in every way. Threw the ball exceedingly well. You could tell he was in a good space mentally. Really had a firm grasp on everything we asked.” The attorneys general said the N.F.L. had not taken sufficient steps to prevent discrimination and retaliation in the workplace.

The 6ft 2in, 225lbs Mingo brings superior size, speed and toughness. Carolina also drafted Chandler Zavala out of NC State who is currently a project but could boost the offensive line by the time Young gets closer to his prime. According to her complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, one of those executives, Mark Quenzel, told Love in March 2022 that her job was being eliminated. The attorneys general of New York and California opened a joint investigation into allegations of workplace discrimination and pay inequities at the N.F.L. offices in both states in response to a report in The New York Times in February 2022 on the treatment of women who work for the league. With the 30th pick, the Eagles added another steal in Georgia’s Nolan Smith, a relentless pass rusher many considered a top-15 prospect.
