[Clash of Camps] NFC West: Nick Bosa looking for a best friendRyan Ramczyk to miss entire season
Before free agency began, the possibility of missing the entire 2024 season was discussed for Ryan Ramczyk. Today, that possibility became real. The Saints tackle was placed on the Reserve/PUP List. That meant he would miss the first four games of the season, before being added to the final roster after those four games.
Later Thursday, NFL Media reported that Ramczyk will ultimately miss the entire 2024 season. During the offseason, coach Dennis Allen had already expressed concerns about his knee injury. Now, there is little doubt that the 30-year-old will not play the season. It could also mean the end of his career for the player, who is worth $13 million in salary cap space in 2024.
Patriots for Aiyuk?
With Brandon Aiyuk (WR, 49ers) officially requesting a trade, rumors are swirling about his future destination. One of them is sending the receiver to New England.
According to Josina Anderson for CBSthe Patriots reportedly contacted the 49ers in recent weeks to set up a trade. San Francisco reportedly refused, believing at the time that its receiver was not on the market.
The situation has since evolved a lot, it remains to be seen if the Patriots are still interested. Given the state of their receiving corps, adding Aiyuk would not be a bad idea. Young Drake Maye (QB, Patriots) would really need it if he wants to make his mark in the big league.
Randall Cobb not yet retired… but already converted
After 13 years in the NFL, wide receiver Randall Cobb is not yet announcing his retirement from the field, according to NFL Media. However, he is already starting a new career. According to ESPN, the 33-year-old will work as a studio analyst for SEC Network during the college football season.
Drafted in the second round by the Packers in 2011, Cobb spent 13 seasons in the NFL, including 10 with the Packers. He also had stints with the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and last season with the New York Jets.
Peyton Manning to coach at the Olympics?
Peyton Manning, a guest on The Pat McAfee Show this Thursday, discussed flag football, an Olympic sport at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The Hall of Famer has already coached one of his children on a flag team, and has volunteered to coach the national team.
“You hear NFL players campaigning to be on the team. It's scary to think that Lamar Jackson, Tyreek Hill … I would want to coach a team like that.”
He ends his remarks with a joke that he wouldn't get the job after coaching a flag football team to two losses in the last two Pro Bowls against his brother Eli's teams.
Terrell Owens: “Tom Brady disrespected me”
At the end of the 2021 season, Antonio Brown left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of a game against the Jets, depriving his team of one of its aerial threats. As the playoffs approached, Terrell Owens publicly offered to replace him… Without a positive response from the Florida franchise. Two and a half years later and at the microphone of Bubba Dub Showthe Hall of Fame receiver points the finger at Tom Brady.
“Tom Brady ignored me. The year Antonio Brown went crazy… They just needed somebody to fill the holes. I contacted him through Randy (Moss) to come play 3rd downs and the red zone. The guy ignored me. It just shows the lack of respect. But when they’re in front of you, they want to act like they respect you.”
As a reminder, Owens was 48 years old at the time of the events. He had been a free agent since he was cut by the Seahawks in 2012, ten years earlier.
Corey Dillon, Tim Krumrie to Join Bengals Ring of Honor
Last year, former Bengals star running back Corey Dillon said it was “almost criminal” that he wasn't in the team's Ring of Honor. The Bengals heard him! The franchise announced that Dillon and DT Tim Krumrie will be inducted into the Ring of Honor this year. The ceremony will take place at halftime of the game against the Commanders on Monday, September 23.
In seven seasons in Cincinnati (1997-2003), Dillon rushed for 8,061 yards and scored 50 touchdowns, including five receiving. He still leads the franchise in receiving yards. Krumrie was drafted by the Bengals in 1983 and played for them through the 1994 season. He was a first-team All-Pro in 1988, the year the Bengals reached the Super Bowl. After retiring as a player, he coached the Bengals from 1995-2002.
Davante Adams assures he will stay in Las Vegas
Despite trade rumors, Davante Adams (WR, Raiders) is unlikely to move. His agent already explained on Wednesday that there is no question of his protégé leaving Nevada. Adams himself spoke on Shannon Sharpe's podcast, Club Shay Shay, to explain that he feels good.
The former Packers player nevertheless acknowledged that he was not completely in control of his destiny.
“If there's ever a change, if we get to a point where we don't get along, I have no plans to stop playing, so we'll do what we have to do.”
And if that hypothesis were to occur, Adams already has an idea of the destination.
“If I'm going to play with anyone again, it's going to be Aaron (Rodgers).”
CJ Stroud happy with Stefon Diggs' contribution
Arriving in Texas during the offseason, Stefon Diggs (WR, Texans) is helping CJ Stroud (QB, Texans) continue a very promising start to his career. In a press conference this Thursday, the young quarterback explained what the veteran receiver already brings.
“He’s someone who loves the game, and he doesn’t cheat. That’s why he’s been successful so far, and I think that’s going to continue. I’m lucky to be able to, hopefully, be a part of it. One of the things that struck me was how personable he is. He’s very friendly and very expressive, so it’s really good to have him around.”
With Joe Mixon, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz added, the Texans' offense has the tools to be the most exciting and productive in the league.
