The have been one of the main teams of intrigue heading into the 2021 NFL Draft and for good reason. The club made one of the biggest trades in the pre-draft proce s, in a ma sive blockbuster that saw three first-round picks head down to South Beach to the . Of course, moving that high in the draft and surrendering that
Jerick McKinnon Jersey amount of a sets means one thing: they are taking a quarterback. That was the initial reaction when the deal was executed and by head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch since.Now, the question shifts a bit to quarterback that may ultimately be. According to , the decision has been narrowed down to Alabama quarterback Mac Jones and North Dakota State's Trey Lance."We could have sat there at 12, and waited which one came to us, if one did," during his pre-draft pre ser on Monday. "But we made a decision that we felt we needed to get a starting QB. We wanted to dictate it. We'll get the one that we feel is best for us."While this has seemingly been a collaborative effort between both Lynch and Shanahan, the GM did say that he'll Shanahan when it comes to quarterbacks. That suggests that it could be Shanahan who has the final call on who the No. 3 overall pick will be. The head coach did reveal Monday that the team when moving up to No. 3,
Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey but now feels good about a handful of prospects at that spot."Our job is to make the right decision," . "This proce s has been as thorough as any one I've been a part of." Pick Six Newsletter Crafted By The Best NFL Experts

In the immediate aftermath of the trade up to No. 3 the club was rather insistent that they wanted to keep him for 2021. Although, Shanahan when asked if he can guarantee that Garoppolo will be on the roster Sunday, saying, "I can't guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive Sunday." Lynch added. "I just spoke to him over the weekend. He's here, he's taking part in our virtual meetings, planning on being at the workouts and Jimmy's been completely profe sional."As it relates to Garoppolo sticking in San Francisco beyond the weekend or not, it could largely depend on which way the 49ers roll between Jones and Lance. Jones is pegged by many draft experts as more pro-ready, while Lance is a bit more of a raw project, albeit with a ma sive ceiling. If the club rolls with Jones, that could signal Garoppolo may be elsewhere by Monday as they have someone who is conceivably able to go by Week 1. If Lance is the pick, however, that could buy the veteran quarterback some more time in the Bay Area. No matter which way things turn out, the 49ers clearly hold one of the first wicks of the draft and things should be set ablaze rather quickly with

The attack lost. The defense utterly appalling. 17th. Arsenal. Currently entering into a downward spiral that at at the present doesnt look like the usual blemish on The Gunners average season. Arsenal were always going to have to improve to finish above Spurs and Liverpool again this season. Unfortunately Arsene Wengers transfer policy has been left behind in the modern football money game. You simply cannot sell two out of your three genuine world cla s, top

Inter Milan have seen a similar start andGian Piero Gasperini has been sacked after five games. Wenger needs to be put on the same train if Arsenal are to turn their season around into a respectable one.This was a team that finished fourth last season. Even though we are only five games into the season, Arsenal are in 17th because there have been 16 better teams. Usually I prefer for a coach to stay, but in this case Wenger surely has to go. The sooner the better. This was a manger that is the only manager to ever have an unbeaten Premier League season. Since then hes been forgiven for 3rd and 4th place finishes because he was said to be building his team.
Pascal Siakam Jersey He was getting there in creating a quality team. And then he sold the nucleus of it to competitors.Arsenal: Down but not just yet outWith the squad Arsenal have, even if Alex Ferguson or Jose Mourinho came in it would be unreasonable to expect him to salvage a Champions League spot because both Spurs and Liverpool have better squads and are better sides. But if Wenger and his beautiful football ideals go, a new manager would have the opportunity to bring some pride back to The Emirates. But a new manger needs a summer to transfer market to rescue a squad back to

Heading into the 2021 season, one of the main strengths of the was set
NFL Houston Texans Jersey to be the defense. After signing the likes of and in free agency along with seeing the return of (COVID opt out), this unit was poised to be the backbone of a club was set to roll out a rookie quarterback on the offensive side of the ball. Throughout the first six weeks of the season, however, the defense has not been up the snuff and is starting to get the attention of some legendary figures in Foxborough.Following New
Derek Stingley Jr. Jersey England's overtime lo s to the on Sunday where they gave up 567 yards of total offense -- the most in the Bill Belichick era -- Hall of Fame cornerback Ty Law told WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" that he doesn't like what he's seen from this unit this season."I'm really upset about what's going on," Law said, . "Because you don't let people come in there and walk all over you, throw the ball like that anytime they want to. I mean, that's shameful."Not only did the Patriots defense give up a ton
Terrence Brooks Jersey of yardage, but they broke during key points in the contest. After gaining a field goal lead with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Dallas was able to convert a fourth-and-4 attempt to move the chains and was able to complete a 24-yard pa s to on third-and-25 later in the drive to help force overtime and eventually win the game.
Roy Lopez Jersey It's that type of play that has Law wanting to blow the unit up over the offseason."Defense, they have to step up," Law said. "I don't know what's gonna happen in this offseason. I can tell you right now, if I had a vote, we'd be going first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth round -- we're getting all defensive guys and we're gonna get some wide receivers and running back in free agency because something's got to give with the defense." New England is also 0-4 at home this season, which
Anthony Miller Jersey is the first time they've bee without a win in Foxborough since 1993. For reference, Law -- who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019 -- was still two years away from being drafted No. 23 overall by New England in 1995.
In verbiage, the legal tampering period means agree to deals with as many free agents as you want to and can under the salary cap. There's no more waiting until Wednesday. free agency is here, y'all. In the spirit of the free-agency floodgates now open in the middle of draft season, let's evaluate how these decisions will impact the 2024 .Here are the Day 1 signings that will impact a team's strategy-- and other clubs drafting near them -- on draft night. ATL QB #8 CMP%69.5YDs2331TD18INT5YD/Att7.5 How it impacts the draft: all in on quarterback in first round?As free agency approached, reports started to surface hinting at Atlanta as the next stop in Cousins' incredibly lucrative career. There were also newsbits about Minnesota working to potentially retain Cousins once again. Now we know he'll be .However, given Cousins' age and his Achilles tear in 2023, along with the strength at the top of this quarterback cla s, it felt like this offseason would mark the end of Kirk's era in Minnesota, didn't it? Armed with the No. 11 overall pick, even if the Vikings sign a , all sights *have* to be set on the club drafting its heir apparent to Cousins this April. Whether they can get who they want at No. 11 or have to trade into the top 10 -- presumably ahead of the at No. 6 overall -- remains to be seen. But this departure signals the Vikings will be key players in the draft's quarterback market. They have to be, and probably should be at this point of the Kevin O'Connell/Kwesi Adofo-Mensah era. This may not
Evander Kane Men Jersey even be worth a sentence, but the Falcons, armed with pick No. 8, are all but officially outside of the quarterback running in this draft and could be a trade-up locale for any team wanting to get ahead of the Vikings to pick a pa ser. NYG LB How it impacts draft: New York loses ammo in potential trade-up for quarterback; much-needed draft capital for CarolinaFirst, let's get to the details of this mega-swap. New York is sending No. 39 overall (first of two second-round picks) along with a 2025 fifth-round pick to land Burns. Not exactly an arm and leg. However, those two Round 2 selections were shiny trade a sets for a team sitting at No. 6 overall a sumed to be squarely in the quarterback market in the draft.Now the Giants have No. 46, No. 70, No. 107, No. 141, and No. 183 in the 2024 draft. Of course, that 2025 first-round pick will be the most coveted -- and expected -- a set to perhaps ascend the board a few spots in late April. New York may very well be including to use that future selection to get the quarterback its front office and coaching staff wants most. But losing the top-40 pick in 2024 hurts for the long-term team building. Then again, they now have a 26-year-old explosive and bendy outside rusher on the same defensive front as and Dexter Lawrence. If it's not a quarterback for the Giants in the first round, it
Joonas Donskoi Kids Jersey won't be Alabama edge rusher Dallas Turner. Bank on a wide receiver, or, maybe, an offensive tackle. As for the Panthers, fresh off what instantly amounted to a brutal trade to get the No. 1 spot to pick a year ago, now are armed with two selections in the top 40 -- No. 33 and No. 39 overall -- helpful for a club still in dire need of vast improvements acro s its roster. Even after signing guard to a gigantic deal on Day 1 of free agency, expect more help on offense for the 2023's top pick, and of course, edge rusher will now come into focus for Carolina with Burns gone. This defensive end cla s is has quality depth, starting in the early stages of the second round. DEN QB #3 CMP%66.4YDs3070TD26INT8YD/Att6.87 How it impacts the draft: Heightens Steelers' offensive line needThe Steelers weren't believed to be in the 2024 quarterback market, mostly because of their draft position at No. 20 overall, which is viewed well out of the perceived range of the "top-tier" of prospects, which right now consists of Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy.So, it's not as if a QB-hungry team is suddenly out of the running for Round 1 of the draft. Even with , he is in now in his mid-30s. So if anything, signing in Pittsburgh intensifies the team's need to continue to build in the trenches. While cornerback can't be ruled out after the release, it'll be a surprise if the Steelers don't add one of the premier blockers in what is a loaded offensive tackle cla s. signed with the already, and 2023 left tackle Dan Moore surrendered a whopping 56 pre sures. MIN DE #52 How it impacts the draft: Greatly
Logan Couture Jersey reduces Minnesota's chances to pick EDGE at No. 11; helps EDGE-needy teams behind themWith an unrestricted free-agent, we weren't sure if Minnesota would retain him or look elsewhere at the edge position. The Vikings provided an answer with this signing, then added the pesky and underrated Van Ginkel a few hours later. With the young-ish, ascending defensive end now under contract with $46 million in total guarantees, and Van Ginkel a 2023 breakout player, it's highly unlikely Minnesota prioritizes that position in the first round. There's a strong expectation Minnesota will be major players in the quarterback sweepstakes early in the draft, but there are many scenarios in which they may not be able to pick the pa ser they covet most, meaning they'd have to either trade back or go with another position with their first-round selection just outside of the top 10. Now, the chances of that being, say, Alabama edge rusher or Dallas Turner,
Eric Fehr Kids Jersey Penn State's Chop Robinson, or Florida State's Jared Verse, are reduced.That could be music to the ears of teams picking behind the Vikings like the at No. 14, at No. 15, and at No. 16. It'd make sense for all three of those clubs to be interested in a top edge rusher in this cla s. MIA DT #94 How it impacts the draft: Pushes top defensive tackle prospects down the board; Raiders in QB draft market?This is not a defensive tackle cla s comparable to, say, the 2019 cla s that featured , , , and Wilkins in the first round. There's Texas' Byron Murphy II and Johnny Newton from Illinois, while Florida State's Braden Fiske may have tested himself into the first round at the Scouting Combine. Before this move, the Raiders were a team picking inside the top 15 with a glaring needed inside along its defensive line that felt like a sweet spot for potentially the first defensive tackle to be taken. Now, no way that happens. Also too, the Raiders feel like much more of a "win-now" team that even a year ago, with a defense that flashed down the stretch and now boasts two bonafide stars up front in All-Pro and the super-steady Wilkins on the interior. Does this hint at Las Vegas preparing to be aggre sive to land a quarterback in Round 1 as opposed to adding to the defense? Yes, they signed to pair with , but if the opportunity presents itself to select a QB whom they may love, it would be hard to pa s up. GB FS #29 How it impacts the draft: Maybe no safeties in the first round?Many times since the start of my mock-draft voyage that begins in September have I sent a safety to Green Bay in the first round. The problem has been that this safety draft cla s is lacking, particularly at the top. There's no an elite, must-have, locked-in Round 1 talent. Minnesota's Tyler Nubin or Washington State's Jaden Hicks, maybe.With McKinney
Dylan DeMelo Women Jersey getting $17 million per year, Green Bay has made its splash at the safety position. It'll be a shocker if the Packers draft a safety with their first-round pick at No. 25 overall. Of course, all it takes is one team, yet with this trade, it throws water on the safety idea for Green Bay, one of the clear-cut teams in need of an upgrade at that position entering 2024.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are very interested in Sevilla Brazilian striker Luis Fabiano, who has scored 33 goals in 38

Boban Marjanovic Jersey Alex Fergusons brother, Martin Ferguson, European scout for Man Utd, with the approval of chief scout Jim Lawlor and Mike Phelan. Fabiano would not come for a cheap price, but he would be an amazing replacement for fringe striker Louis Saha, who will probably be sold to

Johnson -- who is entering the final year of his rookie contract -- is slated to receive a base salary of $2.79 million for the 2022 season.The clock is ticking on Johnson to receive a new deal, as the Steelers don't typically handle contracts once the regular season has started. With Johnson not participating in team drills, and with nursing a shoulder injury, rookie wideouts and have made the most of their

He and Gallup have a close bond, and he reportedly advocated in favor of retaining the receiver this offseason. His presence in the lineup will surely help Prescott rebound from his disastrous Week 1 performance against

Despite all that they've been through over the course of the 2022 season, the control their own destiny. If the Panthers win both of their final two games, they will win their first NFC South title since 2015 and advance to the playoffs
LeBron James Jersey for the first time since 2017.And that's after starting 1-4 and firing head coach Matt Rhule.His replacement, interim head coach Steve Wilks, has gotten Carolina to the point where they are 6-9 and in position to win a weak NFC South, which has earned him the respect of his players. Speaking on Tuesday, Carolina Panthers star defensive tackle echoed the feelings of the locker room in saying that they want Wilks to continue to be their head coach in 2023 and beyond. Interim or not, the effect of Steve Wilks on the Panthers locker room has been evident. Strong endorsement here from Derrick Brown on Sheena Quick (@Sheena_Marie3) "I'll speak for everybody in that locker room in saying we want Coach Wilks to be our next head coach. That's for sure," Brown said. "I think every single week
Paul Eboua Jersey we're gonna come in, he's gonna tell you exactly how it is. He doesn't sugarcoat
Alonzo Mourning Jersey nothing. He keeps it Plain Jane, per se. He lets you know exactly what's going on."You could be one of the best players, but you walk into that building on Monday, he's gonna tell you exactly how he felt about how you played. That level of clarity, that's exactly what we want." Wilks was an integral part of Ron Rivera's Panthers teams that made four playoff appearances in five years with three NFC South titles and a trip to Super Bowl 50 in 2015, first serving as defensive backs coach before adopting a sistant head coach and defensive coordinator duties. Wilks was re-hired by the Panthers earlier this year as the team's defensive pa sing game coordinator and secondary coach, but took on interim coaching duties after the team started 1-4.The Panthers' turnaround is also redemption for Wilks, who was only given one season as head coach of
KZ Okpala Jersey the Arizona Cardinals in 2018. Wilks was fired after going 3-13, a firing given what he had to work with. alleging racial discrimination in hiring and workplace practices, Wilks argued that he was hired as a "bridge coach ... not given any meaningful chance to succeed"Whether or not Wilks
Gabe Vincent Jersey will be given the chance to be the Panthers' full-time coach remains to be seen. In October, team owner David Tepper had conditionally left the door open for Wilks to shed his interim label and become head coach outright. "He's in a position to be in consideration for that position," Tepper said. "I had a talk with Steve. No promises were made, but if he does an incredible job he has to be in consideration."
