The Florida franchise unveiled the design of its new stadium this week without indicating a date for delivery.
David Bauerlein of the Florida Times-Union provided new information on Thursday about the cost of the renovation. The amount should be around 1.4 billion dollars, a third of which will be borne by the franchise, with the city paying the rest of the bill. So that’s $938 million in public money.

Eagles: No particular interest for DeAndre Hopkins
Since being cut by the Cardinals, DeAndre Hopkins (WR) has attracted the interest of many teams. This does not seem to be the case for Philadeplhie, according to the latest statements from its head coach Nick Sirianni.
“I’m really satisfied with the group we have,” Sirianni said at a press conference on Thursday. “Howie [le manager général des Eagles] and I are always looking for new opportunities to improve the team, but I really love the current dressing room. »
The Eagles already have a top-tier receiving group with AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins.
Tyreek Hill aims for 2,000 yards
The record for receiving yards in a season is 1964. It was Calvin Johnson who set this mark in 16 games with the Lions in 2012. Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins) sees further. That’s what he confirmed to ProFootballNetwork, who asked him if 2,000 yards was his season’s goal.
“Oh yes that’s clear. I think having an extra game gives me a huge advantage, so yes. »
Because with a season of 17 games, records are all in danger.
“For me, you shouldn’t get hurt, come wanting to progress every day, accept the advice of the coaches. And I think I have the right weapons around me. I have the most accurate quarterback in the NFL, one of the best coaches in the league and my position coach is also a monster. With these three and keeping the mindset of wanting to progress and break the record, I really want to break this record. I think this is a season where I can do it. »
The average to reach to total 2000 yards? 117.6 yards per game. Last year, Hill was a career-best 100.6 yards per game.
injuries
– Jaycee Horn (CB, Panthers) will not play again until training camp this summer. The best. The Panthers have announced that their cornerback injured his left foot and ankle while training for his side last weekend. The good news is that he doesn’t need an operation. The bad thing is that he still has to wear a protective boot for a few weeks. Horn had suffered a foot injury in 2021, but it was on the right.
– Eddie Jackson (S, Bears) is progressing. On Wednesday, the safety took part in the collective rehearsals of his team. This is a first since his injury at Lisfranc in November. (Chicago Sun-Times)

In short

– The Giants did not practice Thursday due to poor weather conditions. As a reminder, the fires that are ravaging Canada and the Eastern United States generate smoke that considerably impoverishes the air quality on the East Coast. Brian Daboll explained to the press that Friday’s session should probably also be canceled. The New Yorkers had to train indoors, but the smoke even reached the covered ground.

Synthetic Lawn vs. Natural Lawn: Episode 15426
While on the show No Chill with Gilbert Arenas on Fubo Sports, former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman said all the bad things he thought about synthetic turfs.
“I tore my anterior cruciate ligaments on a shitty synthetic turf in Detroit, which was totally grotesque. I broke my foot on a shitty synthetic turf in New York. It is [la NFL] a multi-billion dollar company and you can’t have a natural lawn? »
But even natural lawns sometimes turn into disaster in the NFL. The last Super Bowl was a good reminder.
