[podcast] Retro: Draft 2018! Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and the Enigma Josh Allen
Broncos: Russell Wilson out
Denver’s attack was already not advancing much, now it will have to make its flagship rookie of the offseason.
The franchise announced Saturday that Brett Rypien will be the starting pitcher against the Jets. Russell Wilson is out with a hamstring injury. According to NFL Network, he is suffering from a partial tear, which could make him unavailable for several weeks.
Steelers: Kenny Pickett is back
Victim of a concussion during his team’s last game, Kenny Pickett (QB, Steelers) is already back. Pittsburgh announced Friday morning that Pickett is out of NFL post-concussion protocol.
He should therefore be there this Sunday to face the Dolphins.
In short
– Barely arrived, Christian McCaffrey (RB, 49ers) should play his first game with the 49ers this Sunday. It will therefore be against the Jets. Incidentally, McCaffrey chose his number. He will wear number 23. His previous numbers were already no longer available (#5 at Stanford: Trey Lance / #22 at Carolina: Jeff Wilson Jr). (ESPN)
– Isiah Pacheco (RB, Chiefs) will start this Sunday against the 49ers. According to NFL Network, Clyde Edwards-Helaire will still have an important role in the game, but the Kansas City coaches have decided to give their rookie more opportunities.
– The Broncos have reportedly received offers for Bradley Chubb (LB), Jerry Jeudy (WR) and KJ Hamler (WR) over the past few days. According to ESPN, they would not be ready to sell players unless there was a very good offer.
– According to ESPN, the Panthers reportedly received an offer that included two first-round draft picks for Brian Burns (DE), but they reportedly assured the defender was unavailable.
– Willie Gay (LB, Chiefs) is back in the Chiefs’ active roster after serving a 4-game suspension for violating the league’s code of conduct. Gay had been arrested in January for property damage.
– While he wishes to be transferred, Elijah Moore (WR, Jets) will not be active for the game this Sunday. He didn’t even make the trip with his team. Robert Saleh announced to the press that it was he who made the decision.
injuries
– Mac Jones (QB, Patriots) took the majority of snaps in practice on Saturday, so he seems on track to play again on Monday against the Bears. (NFLMedia)
– Hit in one finger, Carson Wentz (QB, Commanders) will miss at least four games, since he has been placed on the injured list.
– Barely returned, he is already gone. JK Dobbins (RB, Ravens) will undergo surgery via arthroscopy of the left knee. He could be out for 4 to 6 weeks. The good news for the Ravens is that Gus Edwards (RB) is off the injured list. (ESPN)
– Absent from the field since an injury in the first week, Keenan Allen (WR, Chargers) could play again this Sunday against Seattle. He would, however, be more inclined to miss this game, since the Chargers are on rest week next week. (FTP)
– It’s time for optimism for Mack Hollins (WR, Raiders, heel) and Hunter Renfrow (WR, hip), who will test themselves before Sunday’s game against the Texans. (NFLMedia)
– Jonathan Taylor (RB, Colts) should make his return this Sunday against the Titans. The same is true for Nyheim Hines (RB, Colts). (The Athletic)
– Randall Cobb (WR, Packers) should be out between 2 and 6 weeks for a sprained ankle that occurred against the Jets last week. (The Athletic)
– Saquon Barkley (RB, Giants) grits his teeth. Hit in the right shoulder, the player said the injury was annoying, but it won’t prevent him from playing against the Jaguars on Sunday. (New York Daily News)
– Officially, D’Andre Swift (RB, Lions, ankle, shoulder) is doubtful for this Sunday’s game, but according to NFL Media, there is really a big doubt about his ability to play. ESPN even announces that it should not be operational.

– Chase Claypool (WR, Steelers) could be available for a trade. On the other hand, the Steelers would like compensation around that sent to the Panthers for McCaffrey (a 2nd round, a 3rd round, a 4th round and a 5th round). (Bill Huber, Packer Central)
– Linval Joseph (DT), made a visit to the Jets. Aged 34, the double pro-bowler (2016, 2017) was with the Chargers last year.
We won’t see Todd Gurley on the pitch again
Without a team since leaving the Falcons in 2020, ex-Rams star Todd Gurley (RB) puzzled observers by thanking dozens of players – mostly running backs like Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles or Barry Sanders – via Twitter . Asked about it by Andrew Siciliano (NFL Network), Gurley left no illusions about a possible return.
“- I just wanted these players to know that I am grateful for everything they have given me. They were my inspirations. I had been following some of them since I was 4 or 5 years old. When we play against each other, we don’t have time to talk to each other. We shake hands at the end of the game and that’s it. But I wanted to tell them all that I loved the way they were able to play.
– (A. Siciliano) Just to be clear, you said it was over. So you’re not going back to a team?
– Oh certainly not”
An end to his career marred by injuries, particularly to the knees, will not make us forget his thunderous beginnings. Drafted in 10th position in the 2015 draft, Todd Gurley was the offensive rookie of the year in 2015, the offensive player of the year in 2017 (finishing 2nd in MVP votes), a year when he will carry the attack of the Rams finishing the season as the league’s top scorer with 21 TDs. He will also have accumulated 3 All-Pro nominations. He finished his career with 8,336 yards and 79 touchdowns, but without a ring, failing the Superbowl in 2019 against the Patriots.
DeSean Jackson came up with a comparison for Lamar Jackson
Recently signed by the Ravens, veteran DeSean Jackson (WR) has known many quarterbacks. And Lamar Jackson reminds him of one.
“He has very similar characteristics to Michael Vick. He’s broken some of his records so he’s obviously the Michael Vick of today. Coming back to the field and being able to play with Lamar is a blessing for me. I’m very excited just thinking about it. »
A comparison that has dog.
NFL Owners Hate Each Other Episode 354
According to Michael Silver (SF Chronicles), at least three owners expressed their disappointment with Jed York, the owner of the 49ers, during the weekly meeting of the league between oils.
The reason ? The latter participated in the financing of an advertising campaign discrediting Stephen Ross, the owner of the Dolphins. This advertising campaign describes Ross as “one of Trump’s biggest supporters”, who is said to have “run bad business” with Lisa Gillmor (mayor of Santa Clara, the city that hosts the 49ers). The movement is obviously calculated by York, which is in open conflict with Mayor Gillmor (especially with regard to Levi’s Stadium), and this during an election period.
However, it’s not to everyone’s taste, like this owner who remained anonymous:
“We don’t like to see that. The league works better when everyone understands that we are partners, and that we treat each other as people with common interests.”
Understand that this is not good for business. Ironically, Stephen Ross was not at this meeting, still being suspended for having contacted Tom Brady while still under contract with the Patriots.
A Tom Brady card is snapped up at a golden price
The name Tom Brady sells, we don’t teach you anything. This time it’s a game card, of which the Americans are fond of collectors, which was snapped up for the modest sum of 2.4 million dollars. The card dates from 2000, and was autographed by the player. However, it is not the most expensive player’s card in history since last year, a collector was awarded another card for 3.1 million dollars.
