Month: February 2021

Ademola Lookman was directly involved in more goals in the Premier League this season than any other Fulham player (4 goals, 3 assists).

Ademola Lookman’s goal gave Fulham an important victory over Sheffield United in the Premier League.

The Cottagers remain 18th but have narrowed the 10-point gap on 17th-ranked Newcastle to just three points in a week.

Scott Parker’s team dominated for long periods of time, but it took them a while to close the bag.

Joachim Andersen’s depth pass was excellently picked up by Lookman, who took advantage of Ethan Ampadu’s weak defense to shoot in front of Blades goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Earlier, Reuben Loftus-Cheek had passed defender George Baldock after he passed Ramsdale.

And although goalkeeper Alfons Areola blamed the absence of Enda Stevens, who failed to score the equalizer, on the host nation, they secured their second win in the top division this season at Craven Cottage.

Is Fulham starting to believe it?

Fulham have lost only one of their last seven top games, but their biggest problem is turning credible draws into wins.

Only Brighton had more ties than Parker, and until Lookman was the deciding moment of the match, it seemed to be another case of disappointment for them.

But after eight points from their last 12 games, Parker believes his team now has a chance to catch up with the clubs ahead of them.

Newcastle, which plays at Old Trafford on Sunday, is the most obvious target, but opponents such as Brighton and Burnley are also considered.

A third goal without a goal against in the last four games is a good sign in this regard, but Parker is also aware that his team needs to improve in front of goal.

Only six of fifteen shots hit the target, with Lookman, Loftus-Cheek and Mario Lemina having good chances to increase the lead.

“Ridiculous VAR decision.

Prior to that match, Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder said the loss of “eight or nine great players” was a setback this season.

And when Chris Basham limped off the field after 51 minutes, it was hard not to feel sorry for the Blades, who have now lost 20 of 25 games on the season.

Without John Egan and Jack O’Connell, who were long absent, they looked like the team that had the fourth-best defense in the first division last season.

In Basham’s absence, Ampadu returned to the defense and his mistake ended up costing the Blades at least a point.

But it would be a mistake to blame him, because Fulham and Sheffield United have been trying to find a formula all season that allows them to score goals.

Billy Sharp’s volley in the second half of last season or Stevens’ goal attempt may have been triggers, but the meager number of 15 goals in 25 games has shown little sign of improvement in this period,

And the late decision not to award a penalty after the VAR review when Jayden Bogle attacked Areola was symptomatic of a campaign in which they didn’t have too many happy moments.

“We had a chance to get back in the match and we didn’t take it,” Wilder said.

“And then we had a ridiculous VAR decision. I thought it was a reckless foul by the Fulham keeper. It’s a penalty. Yes, I’m a bit down, but it was a penalty on the day. There’s no doubt about it.

“I see a completely different game. Snapshots and a slow look, how can VAR not see that? I don’t care if he’s with the Braves or somewhere else. It was a ridiculous challenge. It cost us another subtle advantage.”

A “huge” victory, that’s what they said.

Fulham boss Scott Parker told Match of the Day: “It was a big win for us tonight, a monumental win. There is a lot of emotion in the team when it comes to understanding the significance of this evening”. The most important thing is the result.

“The game has always been based on opportunity. Those who have watched us know that we have played games where the difference is in the beautiful pitches. This team has real conviction and I want us to focus on ourselves.

“The quality we have will ultimately help us get results in this competition. We are a young team that wants to improve and develop. There is something in us that is needed in times like these.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told Sport: “We thought we could get something out of the game. We have to play the game again, no matter the divisional position or drop out. We have to be professional and have pride and character.

“There is a bigger vision in all of this. Most people understand where we are as a soccer club, this is our third Premier League season in 20 years and to be realistic it doesn’t look like we will have a fourth.

The seduction of Frank Espinoza – from Simmons Avenue to East Los Angeles, accidental member of the City Terrace gang, son of a welder whose hands were paralyzed by arthritis – began when he was a teenager in his mid-sixties on his first visit to the Grand Olympic Auditorium, 1801 S. Grand Avenue.

He remembers many fight posters, one of which showed a champion of the time and future champion named Mando Ramos, who fought a total of 27 times at the 1965-1973 Olympics. The pale yellow walls were shiny and bumpy. The air was thick, brownish and stale from unfiltered cigarettes. Men in hats and short sleeves held bundles of worn bills. The poles were shabby and continuous. Pabst Blue Ribbon boxes became makeshift projectiles if the crowd felt the action wasn’t bloody enough.

Espinoza was immediately suspended. “I knew right away that I wanted to be a boxer,” he said.

6:30 p.m. AND Saturday on ESPN+: Miguel Berchelt against Oscar Valdez in a card fight.

10 p.m. ET Saturday on ESPN and ESPN+: Miguel Berchelt against Oscar Valdez, 12 sets, for the WBC Junior Lightweight World Title.

More than half a century later, Espinoza has fought more than 100 fighters, all Mexican or Mexican-American, including 10 champions. The first, Isidro Garcia, was eating a hot dog and drinking a Coke in the stands of Fantasy Springs Casino when he was invited to fight for the WBO Welterweight title because his opponent had just given up. The latest is Oscar Valdez, two-time Mexican Olympic champion and former welterweight champion. Valdez fights his old friend and neighbor Hermosillo’s WBC junior bantamweight champion Miguel Berchelt, the bogeyman of the division, on Saturday in Las Vegas.

You will therefore hear many edicts of absolute authority on the “Mexican warriors,” warriors whose pride dictates that they never retreat. This is a theme Espinoza learned the hard way. “The guys I compare to Oscar and Berchelt are Vasquez and Marquez,” he says.

He is referring to Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez, whom he managed. Their fights took place between 2007 and 2010, with the second and third fights being named “Fight of the Year” by Ring magazine (among others)-despite their impressive brutality, of course, but mostly because of it.

Error. specified.Frank Espinoza, non-director, signed the Oscar Valdez in the summer of 2012. Boxing Espinoza

I remember Vasquez in his home in Huntington Park after his third fight. Earlier that morning, the stitches had been removed – at least two dozen. He was not in a good mood – judging by the purple slit on his red eye – but he was in a good mood.

“They were not deep,” he says of his wounds. “I’m happy.”

In fact, his satisfaction bordered on ecstasy. A few years earlier, a promoter had advised Espinosa to send Vazquez back to Mexico City – that he had no future as a fighter in the United States. Espinosa had a hunch, however, and had the man stay home for about a year.

Vasquez was a man with two sons. He had his own house. He imprisoned his wife in the beauty parlor with his winnings. And he had just won the fight of the year.

Problem is, he wanted to start again, a fourth fight with Marquez. “I didn’t want him to fight again,” Espinoza said, “but I couldn’t stop him. He felt his honor was at stake.”

He would lose the fourth fight. And a few years later, he lost his right eye during surgery.

Espinoza doesn’t like to talk about it, but I wonder if she tells her curious mother about his reputation as a cheater (only in boxing) because he “keeps” his fighters. Among those she whispers to is Valdez, who – to some extent – wants to be the archetype of the Mexican warrior.

In 2018, Valdez took on Scott Quigg, weighing nearly four pounds too much to fight for the featherweight title. Espinoza asked him to stop the process. Valdez wanted no part of it.

In the fifth round, Quigg broke his jaw. It was a horrific fracture that made it impossible for the coaches to remove his mouthpiece, and his mouth turned into a bloody lagoon. But over the next seven rounds, Valdez responded that his attack would continue and that he would win unanimously.

“It’s something I’ve always wanted since I was a kid,” he told me the following year.

He wasn’t talking about hugging the jaws. He was talking about recognition at home in Mexico, where more than a few fans thought Olympic-style boxing was, well, sweet. “Everyone sees me as a fighter, a true champion,” he said. “And sometimes that’s worth more than money.”

After the battle of Quigga – Valdese’s third consecutive “war” – Espinoza begged him to hire the famous Eddie Reynoso as his coach. The idea was that Reynoso, best known for his work with Canelo Alvarez, would prolong his career by making Valdez a better defensive boxer. But the results have been mixed so far.

Berchelt, on the other hand, is what he is: bigger, stronger and 5 inches taller, the scariest fighter in the 130-pound division. “Everybody thinks he’s a monster,” Valdez told me this week. “I don’t think so. He hasn’t boxed against anyone who can box yet. He’s slower. I see a lot of openings.”

Still, Valdese believes on some level that he can beat Berchelt Warrior. The only time Berchelt has been knocked out is in the first round against a certain Luis Flores in 2014 – he was knocked out. Valdez was knocked out twice and won unanimously and by technical knockout each time. Here’s the jaw. But that’s not all.

“I fought twice with a broken rib,” he said, referring to the injuries he suffered in the fights for his first title defense and his fierce fight against Miguel Marriaga. “It’s something I never said before because I didn’t want to make excuses.”

But now he wants Berchelt to know.

“He didn’t go through what I went through,” Valdez says. “I don’t think, ‘What if it happens again?’ But I do know that if I can fight through a broken jaw or a broken rib or get out of the web, I know I can still do it.’ I know I’m going to make it to the top because of my state of mind. Losing is never an option.

He stands 28-0.

I will ask him about Espinosa.

“My family,” he says. “He worries about me. But he worries a lot.”

For his part, Espinoza hopes the Nevada State Athletic Commission will allow him to do his usual duty. He likes to put his fighters in the ring, give each their mouthpiece and send them into battle. But he’s not sure what the officials will allow in the upper bubble.

It’s not that he cares that much about the bubble. Nor is it that he lives in the past. But for one night he will miss cigarettes and beer, the seductive stench of general bloodlust. He will miss the men in hats who waved bills, the profane oaths they took and the patriotic oaths:

Mexico, Mexico, Mexico…

“A fight like that,” says Frank Espinoza, “would be great for the Olympics.”

Hunter Henry

If the New England Patriots want to sign Hunter Henry to a free agent contract this season, as many suspect, the team may have to offer him more than money.

The 26-year-old, who played the first five years of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers, made it clear that the basis for his decision to go free agency goes beyond money.

Henry told SiriusXM NFL:

I’d be lying if I didn’t just say, “I’m not even looking at the money” or something like that. That’s part of it. It’s part of our job and everything else, but I don’t think it’s just that. I want to play at a position with a good quarterback. It’s really important for our position. It makes it a lot easier … Playing with a good quarterback always makes it better. You have to look at both. You have to look at some financial things, but you shouldn’t spend too much time on that, because I want to play with a good quarterback, too.

Tight End Hunter’s free agent Henry explained his approach to Free Agency and shared his thoughts on the franchise label. ….

“I want to play somewhere where they have a good quarterback.”

– SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) February 19, 2021

Many would assume that Henry’s priorities would exclude the Patriots unless they contracted or traded for a veteran quarterback who would meet Henry’s needs. You also have to wonder if other free agents would see it that way.

Follow the Heavy on Patriots Facebook page for the latest news, rumors and content!

BQ Options

The only Patriots quarterbacks under contract for the 2021 season are Jarrett Stidham and Jake Dolegala. He remains the type of player who will attract the best free agents.

If the Patriots could bring in a star like Deshaun Watson of Houston, Texas, or Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, it would be a different story. Both Watson and Ryan have reputations and resumes of the kind that attract people who are at the end of their rope, like Henry and some of the best wide receivers available.

Even if the Patriots slow down and track down Jimmy Garoppolo of the San Francisco 49ers or strike a deal that gets them Marcus Mariota from Las Vegas, Hunter and other free agents may be more inclined to sign with New England.

Cam Newton, that’s a different story. There are probably players in the league who still believe in Newton and others who don’t. It’s not clear which side of the fence Henry will be on in this scenario.

Henry needs to stay healthy.

Although he has his criteria for a team that wants to contract him, Henry should manage to become a bit more constant on the pitch in the coming years.

Henry missed two games in 2020, four in 2019 and missed the entire 2018 season after tearing his ACL. The four games he missed in 2019 were due to a knee fracture. Lifetime will be the rule for anyone who decides to give Henry a chance.

If he’s in good health, he could give the Patriots what they so sorely lack: a tight game that excels in both receiving and blocking. Henry is all over the place after a season in which he allowed 60 receptions, 613 yards (another career record) and four touchdowns.

If the Patriots had gotten this kind of production from bits and pieces, they might not have looked like this season.

Marcel Louis-Jacques-Pin

BUFFALO, N.Y.. – Brandon Beane made no bones about it during his end-of-season press conference in January, especially when it came to the Buffalo Bills’ details.

The general manager just saw his Bills defense burn the NFL’s best end for the second time in the 2020 season, and he admitted that no player on his team can compare to Kansas City’s Travis Kelce. The combination of Tyler Croft, Lee Smith and third-round pick Dawson Knox resulted in 442 yards and eight touchdowns for the 2020 season, which should convince Beane to improve this offseason.

– Rankings of the 50 best free agents
” – Key decisions to come regarding free agents” –
Key
needs of
all 32 teams this offseason” – More about free agents
”

“We never got the job,” Beane said. “Toward the end of the year, I thought we got some done, Dawson started getting his groove on. But it was never the position where the defenders thought, ‘Dude, you’ve got to prevent their tight ends from getting airborne.’ So we’re going to take care of this group.

“At the end of the day, we want a guy like the one we just met in Kansas City to rarely come by. But that’s what we want. We have guys here who want to grow and see what happens. If there’s an opportunity to add competition, whether it’s through free agency or through the draft, obviously we’ll do that.

To be fair, Buffalo suffered setbacks last season.

Knox, 24, came into the season after a promising rookie campaign in which he lost 20 percent of his passes in the league, but he showed a talent for playmaking that prompted Beane to trade him in 2019. Although his passing percentage dropped significantly, Knox missed four games in 2020 due to a calf injury and COVID-19, making it difficult for him to find his rhythm.

Kroft, on the other hand, was placed on the reserve list/COVID-19 twice, once as a close contact and once after registering a positive test. He played ten games, but was a good help when all the Bills’ weaknesses were healthy.

Beane mentioned the addition of competition in the offseason, and there are several options.

Buffalo should keep an eye on a few notable veterans this season, starting with Jonnu Smith, who essentially matched the Bills’ tight end single last season (he had 41 catches, 448 yards and eight touchdowns). According to Spotrac, Smith’s market value is $8 million per year, which means a higher price for the Buffaloes this season. Since the NFL’s salary cap will be at least $180 million, accounts could range from $1 million above the cap to about $4 million below it, as some decisions are made by their own agents. Buffalo’s amount to Smith could depend on how he plans to improve his position.

Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz would be commercially available, reports ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Perhaps as the 2020 season approaches, the Bills should look for a player who has put up 700 or more receiving yards in six consecutive seasons.

Bills could also look to the bill to improve their flexibility. The gem in the 2021 class is Florida’s Kyle Pitts, but with the number 30 pick, it is highly unlikely that the Bills will trade him for the Tighter, who should be a top 10 pick.

ESPN Project Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. suggested several options for Buffalo later in the project, and suggested Penn State’s Pat Fryermuth as a possible second-round pick. The 6-foot, 90-pound tight end could have an immediate impact on the Bills’ passing offense if they decide to put No. 61 on it. Kiper also lists Boston College’s Hunter as a third-round option, as well as Georgia’s Kenny Yeboah Tre’ McKitty or Mississippi’s Kenny Yeboah as fifth-round options.

Whatever path Beane decides to take, expect the Bills’ tight end to look a little different at the end of training camp.

‘Genius’ acquisition for the A-Lister (Photo: WWE).

The Elimination Chamber shockingly showed The Miz cashing in his bank account and pinning Drew McIntyre for the World Cup.

The Scottish psychopath went through hell that night after entering one of society’s most impressive and dangerous environments. He defeated five former world champions to retain the gold.

But Miz – who withdrew from the chamber race on Raw because of his guaranteed chance at the title – pulled off another great coup to start his second race to the top.

It was an exclamation point on fantastic pay-per-view television and a stellar main event that began with longtime rivals Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton in the middle of the crowd.

The match was filled with fantastic references to the shared history of six opponents – including Kofi Kingston, Sheamus and AJ Styles, the latter having been eliminated.

In a particularly brilliant moment, Phenomenal Omo’s assistant ripped the door off his pod to help him get in early to try to take advantage of Randy Orton’s RKO party, despite being fired backstage by WWE official Adam Pierce.

Although the surprise many expected from “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt failed to materialize, the company kept fans interested by bringing McIntyre’s second race for the world championship to a shocking conclusion.

After Miz – who also had trouble cooking Bad Bunny – was spotted backstage with MVP, it was only natural that Bobby Lashley of Hurt Business would be involved.

The former U.S. champion – who had previously lost his own title to Riddle – eventually destroyed a severely weakened Drew, paving the way for Mr. Argent on the bench to cash in the title and steal the gold.

Daniel Bryan wins, Roman Reigns benefits, and Edge books a ticket to WrestleMania.

The WWE launched the elimination chamber with seriousness by hosting a big match in the hellish structure.

Daniel Bryan and Cesaro began a duel with the rest of the group, and the action built, with everyone playing their roles perfectly.

Sami Zayn was the comic cement that held the match together as he showed off his skills, and the six men did more than enough with some innovative moments.

It was a duel between Bryan and Jay Uso, which the former won, giving him a chance at the world championship, which happened much earlier than expected when Roman Reigns came on board.

Spiritual Bryan engaged in a brief battle, but in the end the tribal chieftain brilliantly strangled his opponent on the cheap to continue his rise to WrestleMania.

The real shock was yet to come when Edge appeared out of nowhere to hit the Dukes with his spear and make his intentions known after winning the Royal Rumble last month.

The second race, which was worth watching, was a very entertaining sprint. Bobby Lashley, Riddle and John Morrison – Keith Lee’s replacement after the kickoff victory – put on a great display.

In the end, even MVP and his crutch could not help the CEO of Hurt Business as Original Brother used weapons and pinned JoMo to win the title.

More: WWE

The Women’s Tag Team Championship match also featured – but not to the same extent – Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, who looked strong but lost to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler when Reginald’s failed interference cost them dearly.

It’s also a good thing, because EAST WWE and Legit Boss don’t need the tag titles to be a distraction, while the bands themselves shouldn’t be involved in another feud.

NFL Nation

With one month to go until the start of NFL 2021 Free Agency, all 32 teams have decisions to make about what their team could look like next season. Among them are players who could benefit from a different environment – free agents, strike candidates and players who could be traded – and who could flourish elsewhere.

Will Super Bowl champion Leonard Fournette, who excelled in the postseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, return? Are the Chicago Bears officially done with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky? What will the Houston Texans do in rebuilding with quarterback Deshaun Watson? What about Odell Beckham Jr. playing for the Cleveland Browns after tearing the ACL?

Maybe it’s the money, maybe it’s the production. Or maybe it’s both. Sometimes a player just needs to go somewhere else. Here are 32 players our NFL reporters say would benefit from leaving their current team:

NFC EAST

Chidobi Awuzi’s corner

Teams don’t like to give up second-round picks, but sometimes they just go their own way. Avuzi has had four interceptions in four seasons and has started 42 games. The free agent could get more at another team than the Cowboys can afford, and he could have more success elsewhere. — Todd Archer

Evan Engram.

Engram won the Pro Bowl in 2020, but that doesn’t reflect the way his year went. He went through all the tough times with eight dropouts and failed to excel under Joe Judge and a new coaching staff. Despite his potential and enticing talent, things didn’t really work out for Engram in his four years with the Giants. A change of scenery can be good for everyone in this case. — Jordan Ranan

Zach Ertz, the tightrope walker.

Negotiations to extend the contract between Ertz and the Eagles overshadowed last season, and a trade now seems inevitable. Ertz, 30, is limited to 11 games in 2020 due to injury and has had a difficult year, but he has been one of the most productive players of his career. He will be doubly motivated next season as he tries to reestablish himself as one of the best at his position and prove to his new team that he is worth the investment. He has one year left and his contract is expected to be worth $8.25 million. — Tim McManus

Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan

That’s not just because his role changed last season with the arrival of rookie Chase Young alongside second-seeded Montez Pot. That means Kerrigan, Washington’s 95.5 sack leader, has become an infielder for the first time in his career. He will be an unrestricted free agent and still wants to get going. At the beginning of last season, he was frustrated with the number of snaps played; although his snaps have finally increased, he still thinks he can help out in a bigger role. To get that role, he would have to leave the franchise where he was recruited in the first round in 2011. – John Keim

NFC SEVER

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky

Bears and Trubiskies need a clean slate. Much of Chicago will never forgive the team for ranking second overall to Trubisky in 2017, ahead of true franchise players Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Trubisky is clearly not at their level, but he has played well at times over the past four years (especially against weaker opponents). Trubisky’s time with the Bears is effectively over. The 26-year-old quarterback should prefer a situation where he can compete for the starting position or be a key replacement. Chicago is no longer the place to be. Jeff Dickerson

The tight end Jesse James

It is unclear whether the new plan, which has a four-year, $22.6 million contract through 2019 signed by former CEO Bob Quinn, will be enforced. James is averaging less than one strike per game (30 strikes in 32 games) and has scored a total of two touchdowns in two seasons. With T.J. Hockenson clearly dominating the situation, it may be best for both sides to move on. The warning would be the new offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn. If he prefers two ends, James can stay and start over. But it might be better for Detroit to consider another option. — Michael Rothstein

Kevin King, the cornerback

From the beginning, King was often criticized. The Packers could have taken the favorite T.J. Watt, but instead traded up in the first round and picked King with their first pick in the second round of the 2017 draft. Injuries kept King on the sidelines throughout his first two seasons and he never developed any consistency. In the meantime, Jaire Alexander blossomed on the other side. King, who is headed for free agency, is best known for his jersey grab that led to a penalty in the final minutes of the 2020 NFC Championship game that prevented Aaron Rodgers from taking the final shot in the race for victory. Cornerback will be a big need even if King doesn’t go to free agency, but it will probably be a mistake to bring him back. — Rob Demovsky

Wrong!!! Lovie is no specified.Kevin King, who was a second-round draft pick in 2017 and had a tough game against the Bucs in the NFC title game. He’s a free agent this season. Morrie Gash/AP Photo.

Kyle Rudolph

The veteran said in a podcast a few weeks ago that he wasn’t ready to restructure his contract for the 2021 season and that he “can’t sign for the role he’s played in the offense the past two years” because his targets were declining because he was no longer a red zone threat. Rudolph has been a part of the Minnesota landscape since 2011, but a split would benefit both sides. The Vikings could save up to $8 million, depending on when he’s released, and Rudolph, 31, would have the chance to end his career in a crime that can use him more than just his blocking abilities. — Courtney Cronin

NFC SOUTH

The Return of Todd Gurley

Gurley has run for fewer than 695 yards in his career and averaged fewer than 3.5 yards per throw in 2020, despite playing in 15 games. However, he told reporters that he was happy to stay in Atlanta and play for new coach Arthur Smith, who has built the Titans’ offense around Derrick Henry. Gurley, however, has done nearly 1,500 carries in six years and suffers from arthritis in his left knee, which could end his day job with the horses. He has just 14 carries in his last three games, Brian Hill has 21 and Ito Smith 19. The Falcons may be able to call on other backs, meaning Gurley, who is expected to become a free agent in March, may be better off elsewhere. — Michael DiRocco

The tight end Ian Thomas

Thomas did not live up to his expectations to replace Greg Olsen. He caught only 20 passes for 145 yards last season and only 72 passes for 614 yards in three seasons. He was not a product of Joe Brady’s scheme and the Panthers need a tough game plan like Travis Kelce from Kansas City to take this offense to the next level, whether they stick with Teddy Bridgewater or trade him for a quarterback like Deshaun Watson. — David Newton

The Jared Cook Tight End

The Saints cannot contract all of their free agents because of high salary cap constraints, and Cook appears to be the most likely casualty. Although he hit 16 touchdowns in two seasons in New Orleans, his output declined in 2020, including a costly loss against the Saints in the playoffs. He turned 34 in April, and the Saints hired a likely replacement last year in the person of Adam Troutman. — Mike Triplett

Leonard Fournette talks about how he reacted to being fired from the Jaguars and transferring to the Buccaneers.

The Return of Leonard Fournette

Don’t get me wrong, the Bucks love Lenny, who has now become Lenny Lombardi thanks to his integral role in all 448 postseason games and the Bucks Super Bowl. And the free agent will also consider a comeback. He loves Tampa Bay. But he doesn’t necessarily want to share forever, and it’s hard to blame him when he’s used to being that guy. — Jenna Lane

NFC WEST

Robert Alford’s Corner

Alford has not played for the Cardinals since he signed a three-year contract through the 2019 season as a free agent due to an end-of-season injury. The Cardinals paid him $10.4 million during that time and plan to pay him another $7.45 million in 2021. Alford will receive $9 million, but only $1.5 million in dead money, so it makes sense to waive him and save the ceiling. And since it’s unlikely the Cardinals will call on cornerback Patrick Peterson again, it might be the right decision for the team to start from scratch. There’s no guarantee that Alford will be healthy this season. — Josh Weinfuss

Gerald Everett

In 2017, Everett made four second-round picks but failed to make them stand out despite some excellent performances. Last year, the Rams selected Brysen Hopkins in the fourth round, a decision that seemed to indicate that Everett’s time in the organization might be limited. Having spent his entire career behind starter Tyler Higbee, the new start might be the best for Everett, who has caught 127 passes for 1,389 yards and eight touchdowns in his career. — Lindsey Tyree

Corner of Akello Witherspoon.

Witherspoon is expected to become a free and unrestricted runner after four seasons on the roller coaster in San Francisco. He has shown that he can be a good rookie in the league, but he has not been able to do everything consistently and has been a good pickup at times in 2020. If Witherspoon played well when he had the chance, a fresh start elsewhere might be what he needs to reach his potential if the Niners invest elsewhere to bolster their cornerback squad. — Nick Wagoner

End of defense Carlos Dunlap

Dunlap doesn’t need to change environments so much as he needs to explore the market for his services. The Seahawks want him back because he helped boost their passing rush with five sacks and 14 QB hits in eight games after he was acquired in October, but his $14.1 million cap is prohibitive. Dunlap has clearly enjoyed his stay in Seattle, but neither side will want to extend him without knowing how much the other teams are willing to pay for the 32-year-old setter. It would be no surprise if the Seahawks fired Dunlap before his $3 million bonus expires in March and then tried to fire him if the market didn’t give him what he was hoping for. Brady Henderson.

AFC IST

End of defense Trent Murphy

The Bills are sticking with Murphy despite his $9.7 million last year, in part because rookie AJ Epenesa needed time to acclimate. But Murphy was active in only 10 games in 2020 and missed almost the entire latter part of the Buffalo season, in which he played his best defensive soccer. He is a free agent this season and has probably played his last games in Buffalo. But he is only 30 years old and his playing days are not over yet. — Marcel Louis-Jacques

The Return of Matt Breida

The Dolphins’ fifth-round selection in the exchange against Breida initially created excitement, but proved to be a bust. He still has lightning speed and the ability to make plays in the backfield, but he had just 68 hits for 350 yards last season, as he fell behind second-year defender Myles Gaskin and finally rookie defender Salvon Ahmed to make plays in the backfield. Breida is a free agent and is expected to go to another team while the Dolphins try to regain their feature film, likely via the Draft. — Cameron Wolfe

The kicker Justin Rohrwasser

After the Patriots selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 draft, making him a first-round draft pick, Rohrwasser was unable to make it to training camp because veteran Nick Faulk was called up in his place. Rohrwasser, who made headlines with a tattoo from his time at Marshall University, was on the practice squad all season and now faces additional competition after bringing in Roberto Aguayo at the end of the season. It seems the situation is potentially threatening to him. Mike Reiss.

Linebacker Jordan Jenkins

The free agent on standby is the longest serving member of the team (drafted in 2016), which means he has had many seasons of defeats – a record of 23-57. No player deserves such a big loss. Jenkins, who has been a 3-4 road defender throughout his professional career, does not fit the new 4-3 pattern, which means he will likely move on. He is a solid player when healthy, and he deserves a fresh start. Rich Cimini.

AFK NORTH

Matt Scura Center

Scura, who is a free agent this season, lost his starting job midway through last season after having problems with breaks in the Pistol formation. His family received several threatening messages from fans on social media after bad scrimmages led to the Ravens’ defeat against New England. Before taking the bench, Skura was considered one of the league’s most reliable starting centers in 2018 and 2019. — Jamison Hensley

A.J. Green Wide receiver

Green played his first season under coach Zach Taylor after missing the 2019 season due to an ankle injury. He received just 47 passes for 523 yards with two touchdowns. Green struggled to find a rhythm in the offense and talked about the challenges this system presents to him. Since Green received an official pass in the team’s final season, it makes sense that he would look for another team for his 11th season in the NFL. — Ben Baby

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Because of the injury coverage in his contract, it’s unlikely the Browns will break with OBJ this season. But since joining the Giants in 2019, he has struggled to get close to quarterback Baker Mayfield and stay healthy. Beckham has shown that he still has a lot of talent, but since the Browns were successful last season without him in the offense, it made sense for him and the team, at least financially, to find a replacement. — Jake Trotter

The Return of James Conner

His return in 2018 was the subject of much discussion when he did a Pro Bowl season for Le’Veon Bell. Since then, however, Conner has been unable to match those numbers due to recurring injuries and a generally ineffective running game. In his four seasons, Conner has never played a full game with 16 players, and in his last four starts he has averaged just 28 yards per game. Conner is a free agent this season, and he and the Steelers could use a fresh start. Brook Pryor

AFK SOUTH

Quarterback Deshaun Watson

Watson may not want to be traded to Houston, but he has made it clear to the Texans that he wants a change of scenery. Watson asked for a trade in January because he was dissatisfied with the way the team was being managed. Both publicly and privately, the Texans said they didn’t want to sell the quarterback’s franchise, but if he really doesn’t play for the team anymore and Houston refuses to move him, will he stay out the season? If they don’t trade him, the Texans will find out. Sarah Barshop.

Malik Hooker Security

Hooker, selected in the first round in 2017, showed promise in his first season with three interceptions before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in Week 7. Since then, however, he has been more flashy than creative. He has made just four interceptions in the last three seasons, including an incredible one-handed pick against Philip Rivers in the first round of the 2019 season. Hooker ended the 2020 season after two games due to a torn Achilles tendon. His injury history, combined with rookie Julian Blackmon’s emergence with two interceptions last season, paved the way for Hooker to try to continue his career elsewhere. — Mike Wells

Quarterback Gardner Minshew …

The Jaguars should be the first choice for Trevor Lawrence, so Minshew’s playing time in Jacksonville is over. The best he can hope for is to be Lawrence’s replacement. He is far from a finished product like a BQ and could eventually become a starter. Maybe the Jaguars can jettison him in exchange for a late pick so he can find a starting job elsewhere. — Michael DiRocco

Corey Davis Wide receiver

To be clear, this is not an assumption that the Titans will not fire Davis or that he will not be fit. He escaped last season, but he fell 16 yards short of the 1,000-yard mark. Imagining a player with Davis’ skills in a more passive offense conjures up visions of over 80 yards receiving and over 1,000 yards. Davis, the 5th overall pick in the 2017 draft, is a free agent at guard who should attract attention when he goes to free agent. — Turron Davenport

AFC WEST

The return of Melvin Gordon

Yes, Gordon led the team in carries (215), running yards (986) and running touchdowns (9) last season, but he is suspended three games in 2021 after being arrested for drunk driving. Gordon also had a limited impact in the passing game – an area the Broncos thought he would help when he was signed – and led the team with four tackles in the loss. He will have the sixth-highest salary in 2021, unless the Broncos try to cut some of the guaranteed money in his contract because of an arrest. — Jeff Legwold

The Return of Le’Veon Bell.

Bell had virtually no influence over the chiefs after he joined them at the beginning of the season. The Chiefs had a chance to ask him for help. Clyde Edwards-Helair was injured in the divisional round against the Browns, and the Chiefs chose Darrel Williams as their fullback. Bell wore the LV Super Bowl jersey but did not play. He is a free agent this season. — Adam Thacher

Quarterback Derek Carr

Make no mistake: this is not the Raiders’ parting with a player who holds nearly every pass record in Raiders history, but who has a poor record and has never played in the postseason. Any off-season that becomes Carr’s “drama” must be to his credit. As Carr said at the beginning of camp last summer, he was tired of being disrespected. And as many responded, he better play. Carr threw 27 nine-pound touchdown passes last season. Groundhog Day in Silver and Blackdom. Stay tuned, folks. — Paul Gutierrez

Mike Williams Wide receiver

Mr. Williams’ five-year option was revoked last April, which meant he would receive $15.7 million in 2020. That’s too much money for a receiver who has never made 50 catches and has scored only seven touchdowns in the last two seasons. Yes, the No. 7 pick in the 2017 draft is big and strong, and has all the tools to become a top wideout, but he doesn’t seem to match the strengths of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. – Shelley Smith

For Houston Texans fans, the last twelve months have been one goodbye after another. With the Houston Texans’ decision to fire J.J. Watt, one of the city’s most beloved players is gone.

Watt, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, will now go to another team after ten years with the Texans, where he produced 101 sacks.

“I’m very excited and looking forward to this new opportunity and I’ve been working really hard,” Watt said Friday. “But at the same time, it’s always hard to move on.”

Watt now joins an extensive and growing list of players who left Houston teams last year.

When: March 2020

Where: The Arizona Cardinals made a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Entry Draft, beating David Johnson and making two draft picks.

What happened: Hopkins threw 54 touchdown passes in seven seasons in Houston. He was QB Deshaun Watson’s best target and one of the best young receivers in the league. In his evaluation of the exchange, Bill Barnwell described it as “amazing, baffling and inexplicable for [Bill] O’Brien, whose strange journey as Texas general manager will one day be the subject of a 30-by-30 documentary. In his first season in Arizona, Hopkins was a receiver for the QB Kyler Murray Cardinals. Hopkins caught 115 assists for 1,407 yards and six scores in 2020.

When: December 2020

Where: Westbrook was traded by the Houston Rockets against the Washington Wizards for John Wall and a lottery-protected 2023 first-round pick.

What happened: Westbrook’s stay in Houston was short-lived, but he averaged 27.2 points per game in one season with the Rockets. The Rockets were prematurely eliminated from the NBA playoffs in 2020, and according to Tim McMahon of ESPN, “Westbrook was frustrated with the style of play and lack of discipline of his then partner, James Harden. This season, Westbrook is averaging 19.7 points per game and the Wizards stand at 6-16.

Staff Sergeant James Harden

When: January 2021

True: Harden was traded from the Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets in a four-way deal.

• 
• 

1 Connected

What happened: Harden’s eight seasons in Houston made him a true superstar. He was a three-time top scorer and MVP in 2018, but the Rockets never reached the NBA Finals with Harden, despite his scoring prowess. At the beginning of the season, Houston had lost its coach and GM, and Harden called for a trade. He arrived late to training camp and reportedly scored with a header over Westbrook. “I don’t blame James. I blame the organization,” the former Rockets assistant told McMahon. “It’s not his fault. He did what he was allowed to do.” In mid-January, Harden got his wish. He scored a triple-double in his debut for the Nets. With stars as talented as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, Harden averaged 23.9 points per game and 11 assists. The assists are nearly five points per game higher than his career average.

When: January 2021

True: A week after Harden, Springer left the Houston Astros and signed a six-year, $150 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.

What happened. Springer has been the centerpiece of the Astros’ recent dominance. He has hit 174 home runs in seven seasons in Houston. He was involved in two World Series victories in 2017 and was named MVP. Springer is the second most titled player, behind Mike Trout, in terms of wins over replacement players in two of the last three seasons. In Toronto, he will be another big hitter in the lineup of Bo Bichette, Kavanaugh Biggio and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Indianapolis Colts have a lot of questions to answer this off-season, and they need to get going. Philip Rivers has announced his retirement and the Colts have been active in the quarterback market. With Rivers returning to the playoffs in his first and only year, the organization wants to keep its place in the AFC.

They finished the season 11-5 and made the playoffs, but lost 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round. When Rivers signed in the offseason, it remained to be seen how long he would stay there, so it’s no surprise that he decided to call it a day. Jacoby Brissett is entering the market, and rookie Jacob Eason may not yet be ready to be a full-time regular on a team aiming for the playoffs.

However, the Colts are a playoff team in 2021 and should be active enough to try to get a quarterback, and Carson Wentz is one of the names circulating in trade negotiations, especially after Nick Sirianni left the Colts to be the main man at the Philadelphia Eagles.

The good news is that the Colts are second in the league, and there are a lot of options for this franchise. They need to make some moves, and long time receiver TY Hilton may be on his way out, and the question remains what will happen to this group of receivers, whether Hilton will stay or not.

The Colts desperately need a quarterback, and whether they have Wentz or someone else, or they have a draft pick, they need to do something this season to stay competitive next season.

You may not cut back much, but there are a few ways to get a little more room in the hoods.

Colts Cup candidate: TE Jack Doyle.

This may come as a surprise, but let’s see. Doyle will have a cap of $5.7 million, which is the sixth highest on the team. In the backroom, however, there are Doyle and Mo Ali Cox and, of course, rumors of interest in guys like Jonnu Smith and Jared Cook.

Jack Doyle with a clean outlet 🙌 @doylejack84 @Colts

#CINvsIND on FOX pic.twitter.com/ppZkoZ84X1

– Checkdown (@thecheckdown) October 18, 2020

Doyle is not bad, although he had only 251 yards and 23 three-point catches in 2020. He’s not the player he once was and with nearly $6 million in the pipeline for 2021, the Colts could use that money to bring in another quality tight end if they wanted to.

His best season was in 2017, with 80 catches for 680 yards and four touchdowns for the Colts, but he hasn’t come close to those numbers since, a fact that hasn’t escaped everyone, including Doyle himself.

It is unlikely that the Colts will get Burton back after a disappointing year, and if they let Doyle go, they could enter the free agent market like Smith or even Hunter Henry if he does not reapply in Los Angeles.

The Colts’ offense is based on youth with Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman and everyone who will be throwing passes at Indianapolis next season. The influx of youth on this team could make Doyle expendable.

Add to that the fact that the offense in Indy will likely consist of running backs, with Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins being perhaps the best running backs in the NFL.

The biggest hats on him are those of Deforest Buckner, Ryan Kelly, Grover Stewart, Quenton Nelson and Mark Glowinski. It is highly unlikely that any of these guys will be eliminated next season, especially when you consider that three of them make up more than half of the offensive line, and Buckner caused quite a stir after his arrival from the San Francisco 49ers.

It’s always helpful to have a ton of cap space, and free up some more space by allowing someone like Doyle to target them at free agent quarterbacks or big stands with a tight end or wide receiver, especially if Hilton is going to play elsewhere.

Either way, the Colts don’t need to cut this season, as they have plenty of cap space. However, if they want to spend a lot of money on one of the free agents, they may end up scrapping Doyle and trying their luck elsewhere.

The offseason will be busy for the Colts, and the top priority should be solving the quarterback problem, but don’t be surprised if the Colts make a few cuts to free up some more money and give themselves more flexibility in changing their squad.
