Patriots get positive news with starting

There wasn't many negative takeaways for the in their of the in Week 1.The one concerning aspect coming out of the opener was the status of starting right tackle . He suffered a shoulder injury in Hayden Hurst Jersey the fourth quarter of that eventual win. The veteran was down on the field for a while and in noticeable pain before walking to the sideline and ultimately never returned to the contest.Now, New England is getting some overall good news about Cannon's A.J. Taylor Jersey status, but it comes with the caveat. reports on Tuesday that Cannon's injury is not considered to be season-ending or long-term. That said, he will mi s some time.While it's still unclear as to how much time Cannon will mi s, his status for Sunday's contest with the down in Alec Morris Jersey Miami should be considered doubtful. Luckily for New England they it is facing a Dolphins squad, who just gave quarterback almost zero pre sure as he threw for five touchdowns against them. Long term, however, the Patriots, who are already without regular starting center for the season, need a healthy Cannon to better their chances at another bid."Certainly, it's going to be a big challenge," Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels told reporters during a Tuesday conference call of going forward without Cannon. "Marcus is a good player, and Mike McGuirl Jersey we're going to need some guys to step up and play well. And I think that's going to be an important part of this week and our preparation going into Miami." When Cannon left Sunday's contest with the Steelers, starting left guard moved over to right tackle and came in to play left guard. Thuney, in theory, could remain at his normal left guard spot if the Oklahoma State Cowboys Jersey Patriots feel like swing tackle (a healthy scratch Week 1) is ready to take ahold of the starting job.

Jared Goff talks about the Rams expectat

However, being the offseason champions is meaningle s in today's -- ask the 2011 -- and Goff and the Rams are trying to shut out the outside noise. More NFL "I think you see every year there are teams that get that type of label and often fall short, and you Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey wonder why," Goff said, per .

Broncos vs. Titans Week 1 picks odds Poi

Football is back. : Football is back, baby! After a long and wild offseason, Week Jimmy Moreland Jersey 1 of the 's regular season is upon us. This includes the putting a bow on the first collection of games this season as they will host the in the second and final game of Monday Night Football in the season's first week.The last time we saw these two clubs face off against one another came back in 2019, but they were in wildly different positions from where they are now. In that game -- a 16-0 win by Denver -- Tenne see was in the proce s of making the switch from to at quarterback, a move that proved extremely productive as Tannehill was able to light it up the rest of the way and lead the Titans to an AFC Championship appearance. Meanwhile for the Broncos, , who would finish the year as the starter, was still holding a clipboard watching sling it.Looking at this matchup on Monday night, the oddsmakers don't see this as a high-scoring affair as it's been given the second-lowest over/under total on the Week 1 slate. The line, however, has swung dramatically in recent days in light of some news coming down on game week.Here, we're going to dive into everything there is to know about this matchup from a gambling perspective to have you betting sharp before kickoff. All odds via William Hill Sportsbook. Date:Monday, September 14 |Time:10:20 p.m. ETLocation:Empower Field at Mile High (Denver, Colorado)TV:ESPN|Stream:fuboTV ( )Follow:The line originally opened up with Tenne see as a 2.5-point road 'dog back in May. That remained the case for the bulk of the summer before September saw the line flip. Following the news coming out this week that star Broncos pa s-rusher suffered a tendon injury in practice that is likely to sideline him for the rest of the season, Denver is now getting points in this matchup. That's also not mentioning that the Broncos may also be without No. 1 receiver -- officially Marcus Cannon Jersey listed as questionable -- after he suffered a shoulder injury in practice. Meanwhile, the Titans made news last week inking to add to its pa s rush.The pick: Titans -3.While most clubs will not have the full benefit of a traditional home-field advantage that includes fans in attendance for these games, the Broncos still have the altitude as a key factor for opposing clubs coming into Mile High. When first looking at this contest, that was an attractive play, especially after a summer with no preseason games and limited practice se sions due to the pandemic. That said, the lo s of Miller for this contest has me rolling back to laying the points and going with Tenne see to open up the year with a win. Ryan Tannehill (who went 8-4-1 ATS as a starter last season) should now have a clean pocket to work from, and once the Titans jump out to a lead, they can lean on to ride them the rest of the way. Outside of vs. coming in at an O/U of 39.5, this is the lowest point total on the Week 1 slate. It dipped a point this week in the aftermath of Clowney signing with Tenne see and hasn't budged since, which is an indicator by the oddsmakers that the pa s rusher should have an immediate impact in the Titans front seven. Because the Broncos averaged 21.4 points a game during Lock's five-game stretch at the starter to end last season along with the additions of and first-round receiver , the Over might be a popular pick with the public. If you like Tenne see here (which I do), it's not that conducive to roll with the Titans and the Over. If they get up, they'll just grind it out with Henry, kill the clock and grind out a defensive battle. The pick: Under 41 points. Because of Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey the altitude, I doubt this will be a track meet that lights up the scoreboard. Not only is Clowney now added to the equation, but Tenne see boasts second-year defensive tackle , who is entering 2020 completely healthy. No. 1 corner is also back after mi sing the second half of last year due to a broken wrist. That defense coupled with Henry screams the Under for me. It also should be noted that the Under went 7-2 on Monday Night Football through Week 8 last season.The pick: Under 20.5.Again, this is going to be a low-scoring game for a number of reasons and I expect the first half in a lot of these games to be a bit choppy as this is the first live action clubs are seeing all year. Philip Lindsay total rushing yards: Over 37.5 (-110). Even with the arrival of Melvin Gordon, Lindsay was named the co-starter in Denver's backfield, which Kenyon Green Jersey would suggest that he'll still have a sizable role in their backfield. I expect Lindsay will have a bigger role to start the season to help Gordon ease into the Broncos offense, which should help him hit this Over. In that same vein, I don't hate getting Lindsay's Over for total rushing and receiving yards at 53.5 (-110) either.Melvin Gordon total rushing yards: Over 45.5 (-110). While the carries will likely be more of a split in the opener, I do think Denver will want to see what they have in Gordon and will give him plenty of opportunities to pile up yards. Gordon averaged 51 rushing yards a game for the last season and should continue to hover around that number in Denver. Taking Gordon to score a touchdown at any point in this game at +163 is also something that catches my eye.Ryan Tannehill total pa sing yards: Over 228.5 (-110).I liked this better when the line was at 218.5 earlier this week, but Tannehill averaged 228.5 yards for Tenne see during his first season as the starter and I expect him to continue his succe s from a year ago. A.J. Brown should be better in Year 2 and is an intriguing receiving tight end. With no Von Miller terrorizing him every time he drops back, Tannehill should have an easy time throwing the ball. Ryan Tannehill total pa sing touchdowns: Over 1.5 (-115). Similar to the pa sing yards Over, Tannehill will be working with a clean pocket and should find the end zone at least twice.Derrick Henry total rushing yards: Under 96.5 (-110).I do think Tenne see will ride him if they get a substantial lead, but the altitude could slow him down here and the Titans could limit Henry to keep him fresh. anytime touchdown (+450). This is a lotto ticket, but if Sutton is out, Patrick should be the one benefiting the most in terms of snaps and targets. That gives him ample opportunity to find the Davis Mills Jersey end zone in the opener. Jonnu Smith total receiving yards: Over 27.5 (-110). After Ryan Tannehill became the starter in Week 7 last year, Smith averaged 34.2 yards per game for the rest of the regular season. That should only increase as he enters a potential breakout season.Jerry Jeudy total receiving yards: Over 36.5 (-110). Could very well be the No. 1 targe

Trevor Lawrence sent the Jaguars to voic

From the time the 2021 NFL Draft order was set, selection by the with the No. 1 overall pick was virtually a sured Tommy Sweeney Jersey save for some sort of act of God or major glitch on draft day. As it turns out, a hiccup as the Jags were on the clock created a few nervous moments as the club made the pick.In the Jaguars' YouTube Series , the team offered an inside look into their war room on draft day and a misunderstanding that held up their selection of Trevor Lawrence. Per rules, the Jaguars were Luke Tenuta Jersey not permitted to officially make their selection until seven of their 10 allotted minutes had pa sed. However, when the Jaguars eventually did call, Lawrence did not answer: The Jaguars gota voicemail recording, and his voicemail was apparently full.

Browns-Bills headed to Detroit becoming

It's Jake Kumerow Jersey not often that the NFL moves a regular-season game, but it has happened before.With Browns-Bills officially , it will now become the sixth game this century to be relocated due to weather.Let's take a look at five other times where a game was moved. Originally scheduled:Sept. 2021 (New Orleans)Before this week, the last time the moved the location of a game came just over a year ago. The Saints had to move their opener in 2021 because Hurricane Ida was about to make landfall in New Orleans.With the SuperDome unavailable, the Saints chose to have the game moved to Jacksonville. That's right, the Saints actually hand-picked Jacksonville. Apparently, New Orleans liked the idea of putting the : It would be hard for Packers fans to get there on short notice, Aaron Rodgers always seems to struggle in Florida and the Saints expected the hot/humid temperatures to work in their favor. The plan worked, because New Orleans ended up pulling Jordan Poyer Jersey off one of the most surprising wins of the 2021 NFL season with a 38-3 victory.Originally scheduled:Nov. 23, 2014 (Buffalo)Back in 2014, we had a similar situation that we're seeing this week: Buffalo got hit by a snowstorm and the NFL was forced to moved a Bills' home game to Detroit. The snowstorm was so bad that the Bills became the first team in .If the Bills' first home game in Detroit goes anything like Sunday's game, that will definitely be bad news for the . Back in 2014, the Bills destroyed the Jets 38-3 in a game that got out of hand in the third quarter after the Bills blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. Of course, the most memorable thing about that game is that tickets to the game ended up being FREE. The last time a Bills game got moved to Detroit, the NFL gave away tickets FOR FREE. Wonder if they'll Buffalo Bills Accessories go the same route this time around John Breech (@johnbreech) Let's hope the NFL goes that same route for Sunday's game.Originally scheduled:Dec. 12, 2010 (Minnesota)Apparently, Detroit is a popular place go when snow makes it impo sible to play. In December 2010, the Vikings and Giants had to move their game from Minnesota to Detroit after this happened to the Metrodome the night before the game. Playing a home game in Detroit didn't seem to help the Vikings much as the Giants went on to win the displaced game 21-3. The more notable story here is that the Vikings had to play their next home game outdoors at the University of Minnesota. In that game against the , Brett Favre would suffer a concu sion, and never play in the NFL again.Originally scheduled:Sept. 19, 2005 (New Orleans)After Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, the Saints had to move their entire Taiwan Jones Jersey home schedule in 2005 out of the city. That started in Week 2 with their 'home opener' against the Giants. The game was moved to the Meadowlands, which the Saints weren't happy about."We were in the visiting locker room, on the visiting field. It seemed like an away game," then-Saints coach Jim Haslett . The Saints would finish the season with a 1-7 home record and that lone win came in San Antonio. New Orleans would end up playing three of its "home" games in the Alamodome and the other four at LSU's Tiger Stadium.Originally scheduled:Oct. 27, 2003 (San Diego)In 2003, the Chargers had to move a Monday night game out of San Diego because of wildfires in Southern California. The parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium was being used as an evacuation center, which pretty much made it impo sible for fans to get to the game.There was also a Buffalo Bills Hats concern about air quality because of all the smoke from the wildfires. The game was moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, something that worked out well for Brian Griese, who was making his first start with the Dolphins. Griese threw for three touchdowns in a 26-10 Dolphins win.

NFL Week 7 picks Kyler Murray outduels D

While the Week 6 slate in the NFL was scoffed at by some, it ended up becoming one of the more interesting weekends of the year from a picks standpoint. We had plenty of upsets with a winle s team taking down the and the continuing a semi-free fall after Wyatt Ray Jersey being handed their second straight lo s.Now that we're turning to page to Week 7, we get a chance to see what looks like as the starter in Tenne see along with taking back the reins as Miami's starter.

Alright let's get to the picks.Chiefs at Point spread: Chiefs -3Kansas City is reeling after two straight loses at the hands of the and Texans. Despite playing on a short week and traveling to Denver, I see the Chiefs getting back on track here and should win this contest by enough to cover the Broncos' three points. Denver's defense is coming off two solid outings where it allowed just 13 points combined, but haven't faced a quarterback with ' talent in that timeframe. While Mahomes will have to work his magic some, this could be a solid spot for the Kansas City backfield to shine with Damien William, and even .The pick: Chiefs 27-21 over Broncos at Point spread: Giants -3It's a battle between two rookie quarterback in and . Murray Vonn Bell Jersey has been getting over the last few weeks and just lit up the for 340 yards and three pa sing touchdowns. I think that trend continues heading into MetLife as the Giants defense is in the bottom 10 in DVOA and the secondary has struggled.

Hard Knocks Power Rankings Ezekiel Ellio

America's Team is back, baby. Amid all kinds of injury news and an unfolding 2021 preseason, the returned to TV on Tuesday night Cincinnati Bengals Hoodies Sweatshirts for the second episode of this year's edition of "Hard Knocks." HBO's annual training camp series, which runs weekly through Sept. 7 with an inside look at the club's preparations for the new year, marks the third time Dallas has been featured on the show.Who stood out in Tuesday's second episode? Who needs some work for Episode 3? Here are the winners and losers:The star running back didn't get a ton of airtime compared to Episode 1, when he was a focal point. But he's easily the most entertaining to watch, in large part because he doesn't take himself too seriously. Consider how he contrasts with Mike McCarthy; yes, the head coach has an entirely different job, but it's much more fun seeing Jake Browning Jersey Zeke giggling over sunflower seeds during the Cowboys' than McCarthy forcing the F-bomb into a toughen-up speech at camp. Thing is, Elliott's goofine s doesn't mean he's not invested, either; no one was more excited for preseason backups rattling off big plays than him. We keep coming back to the Penn State rookie, only to ever see him straight-faced or mildly irritated over preseason playing time. It's nice that Parson's mom is a loyal cheerleader, but even her presence hasn't given this No. 1 pick a deep or affecting storyline. Oh, and he apparently got schooled in che s by an awkward Ben DiNucci.What little we finally got of Lamb was some of this season's best stuff: An off-field dedication to candles, like the Sweet Berry Peony in his camp dorm ("I'm high on smells," he quipped); and some of the acrobatic leaping catches that Cowboys fans and reporters have become accustomed to at camp. Lamb's emerging star power is real -- so much so that you would be excused if you forgot was part of the team until D'Ante Smith Jersey a wordle s cameo on the preseason sidelines. Let's hope we get more of CeeDee moving forward. . 's been the talk of camp, but he's not Nick McCloud Jersey satisfied. NFL Films (@NFLFilms) Broadening this from "Mike McCarthy" so as not to pile on the head man. Look, Mike is probably a great guy, but in terms of reality-show material, well, it says something that Sean McVay's cameo during the Cowboys-Rams joint practice was the most exciting part of Episode 2's staff focus. At least McVay acted like a Jon Gruden incarnation. And then poor Aden Durde, the Cowboys' D-line coach who got spotlighted ... because he has a British accent? And not only that, but had to suffer through players' impre sions of it? Good for Durde making it from London, but that whole segment was better suited for the kiddos. Bonus points for Dan Quinn acting like the Cowboys were in the divisional playoffs while overseeing preseason snaps from the booth. Now here's a player profile that deserves more attention already boasts some depth. Kamara, the 2020 undrafted Kansas pa s rusher, is Tyler Shelvin Jersey a former refugee who learned American football on the fly, and he didn't have a spotle s "Hard Knocks" debut: After accidentally bumping backup quarterback in camp drills, he received the ire of every nearby coach. But his brief moment with family after the Cowboys' preseason game in Arizona was good stuff, as is his fight to prove he belongs. A mothers love Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys)

NFL Trade Deadline 2020 Five moves that

Every man dies, but not every man truly lives. Right now, the Dallas Cowboys are dying as they sit at 2-4 on the season and are just two failed comebacks from being 0-6, their 2020 woes fueled largely by a slate of , Tyron Smith, La'El Collins, Joe Looney, Blake Jarwin and several key pieces of their beleaguered defense. They've now seen Leighton Vander Esch return from a weeks-long absence and will enjoy the return Tyree Jackson Jersey of Randy Gregory from suspension in their Week 7 matchup with the Washington Football Team, but time will tell if their additions are enough to right the ship for a defense that's allowed a franchise- and league-worst 218 points through six games.And when it comes to the offense -- Prescott, Collins and Jarwin aren't running back onto the field in 2020, and both Brandon Knight and Zack Martin are .That's the bad news (read: nauseating), but despite it all, the Cowboys are still in first place in the lowly NFC East, and sitting idly by ahead of the Nov. 3 trade deadline isn't going to get them anywhere close to where they'd like to be come January. Andy Dalton will continue to get the nod as starter and there's likely no trade to be made at the QB position that will change that course, but other areas of dire need can be readily upgraded with a series of phones calls and subsequent loosening of the purse strings. For a defense that is continually torched weekly, and an offensive line in dire straits, here are five options for the Cowboys to deploy before October expires.I even threw in a tight end for good measure.It's time to stop trusting the hope every guy "on campus" will someone step up and get the job done. Too many of them haven't, and with options abound to at least keep the dam from bursting, Jerry Jones and Co. need to start acting like some eager beavers. That is if they want to get back to truly living, versus drowning in their own inactivity. DEN FS #31 The needing help at safety is the worst kept secret in the history of secret keeping and, no, (which is quite telling at the moment).Enter Justin Simmons, an instant Rx for what ails them, and one without character concerns. As it stands, sources tell CBS Sports neither the Cowboys nor Broncos have broached the topic of Simmons being moved to North Texas, but that could change ahead of the Nov. 3 deadline. The problem with the deal is the same as with any when it comes to the hyper-frugal Mike Quick Jersey Cowboys, in that they don't like Simmons' salary -- considering they'd have to absorb it in a trade. Absent a long-term deal being secured this offseason, Simmons is playing under a franchise tag that pays him $11.44 million in 2020, but he's already been paid $3.37 million of that by virtue of playing five games already. At $673,000 weekly, if the Cowboys landed Simmons ahead of Week 8, they'd have to take on $7.4 million for the remainder of 2020.Yes, the Dallas front office is squirreling away money to pay in 2021, but they currently have Reid Sinnett Jersey approximately $23.47 million in cap space, leaving them $16 million in rollover to add to next year's salary cap. That's not exactly cap poverty by any measure, even if the cap is set to take a hit and bottom out at $175 million -- the minimum agreed to by the and NFLPA. For a 26-year-old safety in his prime who is also coming off of an All-Pro season in 2019, and considering the dire need at the position in Dallas, it makes all the sense in the world to at least lob a 2021 fourth-round pick at the Broncos to see if that will pry away Simmons. That's the starter offer, and I'd be open to discu sing a third- or a second-rounder, especially after seeing the Cowboys willing to give up equal or greater draft capital in the failed attempts to trade for and . After all, this doesn't just solve a need for now, but one for later (i.e., solving a draft need), a suming the wisdom exists to secure him on a long-term deal once the trade is done. With on a contract year and needing more time to develop as a starter, Simmons is not only an answer.He might be answer. PHI FS #41 If for whatever reason the Cowboys don't get traction with the Broncos, they can try with the Vikings.The first hurdle is the same as that of Simmons, in that Harris is also being paid under an $11.44 million franchise tag after not agreeing to a long-term deal in Minnesota this offseason. The math works out exactly the same as far as what the Cowboys would have to eat in 2020, but what they would avoid having to stomach by making this trade is continued humiliation at the hands of opposing quarterbacks and receivers. In my 2020 ranking of NFL safeties, I ranked Harris as one of the best in the league (No. 5, just ahead of Simmons at No. 6), but Simmons does get the edge in the age category -- Harris currently being 28 years old. He' Philadelphia Eagles Jersey s also not enjoying an interception-fueled season this time around with the Vikings, but that's much more symptomatic of other i sues on a defensive unit tasked with being on the field far more often than they'd like due to the struggling offense. That said, Harris has ama sed nine interceptions in his previous two seasons, his six INTs in 2019 being both a career-best and tied for most in the entire league with Stephen Gilmore and -- two of the top in the NFL. And if there's anything the Cowboys are starving for right now, it's takeaways, having just one interception and one defensive fumble recovery through six games.The fact he didn't land a Pro Bowl nod in 2019 is, at minimum, borderline criminal. As it would be for the Cowboys to not pick up the phone and find out what the Vikings would be willing to accept to part ways with him. Much like Simmons above, I'd start with a fourth-rounder and move up from there if nece sary, pulling the ejector lever at anything above a second-round pick. Why not go higher than a second? Simple. It's because it's finally time to find a succe sor to at the second-most important position in football, and if that's not via trade, it has to be in the first round of the 2021 .Give up a second-rounder for Simmons or Harris -- if that push comes to shove in negotiations -- then ink one to a multi-year deal and finally stop avoiding the value of a primo NFL safety. A.J. Brown Jersey And the fact Harris spent a lot of time in Minnesota with former Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards, who is now on McCarthy's staff in Dallas, only further justifies making this happen. CHI T #71 Speaking of Tyron Smith, it's time to have a two-lemonade discu sion.Smith has routinely mi sed three games each regular season since the 2016 season, and while that's been a cause for concern -- particularly given the fact the absences were due to back and neck i sues -- it's mostly been a manageable situation for the Cowboys. That was until this season, when he'd mi s Week 2 and Week 3 with neck stingers before returning in Week 4, only to then undergo season-ending surgery on his neck. The Cowboys are not vocal

DeAndre Levy defends calling Joe Paterno

linebacker stands by his DeVonta Smith Jersey comments in a recent story where he called former Penn State coach Joe Paterno a " " and considered the one time he accidentally broke Paterno's leg while playing for Wisconsin his "proudest moment in college."Turns out, Levy was joking about the "proudest moment in college" remark but the rest of it? Oh, he meant all that."Any person or institution, Joe Paterno included, that turns away from or fails to act against sexual a sault is a 'dirtbag,'" Levy writes in a column for the . "Imagine your son, Harold Carmichael Jersey nephew, cousin or young male person in your life goes away to football camp or has a trusted relationship with a coach, but their vulnerability is taken advantage of and their trust violated in an act of sexual a sault. "Years later, a story breaks and sheds light on a decades-long pattern of sexual abuse. And then it becomes known that one of the most powerful figures in that football program knew of it at various points but failed to act diligently. In broad strokes, that's how I understand the case of Penn State, Jerry Sandusky and Paterno."Paterno's longtime a sistant, Jerry Sandusky Brent Celek Jersey , is in prison for the sexual abuse of 10 children. Court documents released in July showed that one of the victims testified in court in 2014 that Paterno ignored complaints of sexual a sault by Sandusky back in 1976, decades before Sandusky was arrested. Levy, meanwhile, has spoken pa sionately and eloquently about what it means to be a man. Earlier this year, he Philadelphia Eagles Jersey wrote in about the pervasivene s of sexual a sault and the "dehumanization and objectification of women," noting that, "It's truly astounding the number of awful things that occur in this world because men are afraid of appearing weak."Those sentiments echo the ones Levy made to ."We've got to stop prioritizing sports over humanity.

NFL players approve CBA Tom Brady Malcol

The NFL players voted "yes" to the proposed collective barging agreement, meaning the league will have labor peace until 2030. This is a change from the last CBA negotiations, which resulted in a lockout until late July in 2011. To have the new CBA approved a year before the the 2011 CBA was set to expire is a win for the NFL.The final vote was 1,019 to 959, the NFLPA released in a statement. There are roughly 2,500 players in the players union, so an estimated 79.1% of the players voted on the CBA.Since 53.5% of the players voted "yes" and the final tally was so close, player reaction from around the Los Angeles Rams Hats league flooded in after the final vote was released. Free agent-to-be led the contingent of reactions on social media. Well done De Tom Brady (@TomBrady) Trash, freaking trash Allen Robinson II (@AllenRobinson) 4 ma sages a week during the season going to have to boost that up to 6. The Gilly Lock (@BumpNrunGilm0re) The democratic proce s has played itself out. We must be committed to unifying our current and former members. While I dont agree with the decision because of its negative impacts on some current and former players, I do respect our proce s and will push forward accordingly. Malcolm Jenkins (@MalcolmJenkins) The Jalen Ramsey T Shirts main i sue with the players was the expansion of a 16-game season to a 17-game season, which is expected to take effect in 2021. Going to 17 games means the will shorten the preseason from four games to three, as CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora . With a three-game preseason, some teams will have nine home games in the regular season and one home while other teams would have eight home regular season games and two home preseason games ( ). While that schedule seems imbalanced, the NFL would flip the schedule for the next year to accommodate the teams that had just eight regular season home games from the year prior. Cant believe we agreed to that lol. We can only play this game for so long and yall didnt want everything we could get out of it? Smfh. 2030 yall do better Eric Ebron (@Ebron85) Man Im so hot bruh Darius Leonard (@dsleon45) So weak fam, dudes wanna vote outta fear. It really show where dudes head at Allen Robinson II (@AllenRobinson) Going to 17 games would result in the reduction of the preseason, but also, another bye week would need to be implemented on the calendar. The NFL actually experimented with two bye weeks in a 16-game Los Angeles Rams Jersey schedule in 1993 only to nix it and go back to just one bye week in 1994. With a 17-game schedule, the league would run 19 weeks and the regular season would either have to start Labor Day weekend (like it did from 1990 to 2001) or end past New Year's Day in mid-January. The NFL has toyed with the idea of having the on President's Day weekend in the past and an extra bye week Los Angeles Rams Women Jersey would make that po sible.There are 2,500 players in the players union and 1,978 voted, so approximately 79.1% of the players participated in the CBA vote. That didn't sit well with All-Pro cornerback . Around 500 players didnt even vote on the new CBA smh Marlon Humphrey (@marlon_humphrey) NFLPA president J.C. Tretter released a statement on the players voting "yes." Tretter was elected to the position last week. JC Tretter (@JCTretter) With the new CBA approved, the playoffs are set to be expanded starting this season. The NFL has had the 12-team playoff format since 1990, with the top two seeds getting first-round byes in each conference. The expansion to a 14-team playoff would drastically alter the current playoff format.Seven teams from each conference would make the playoffs with only the top seed earning a bye into the divisional round. Six wild card games would be played (No. 2 vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6, No. 4 vs. No. 5) in a tripleheader slate of games Terrell Burgess Jersey on Saturday and Sunday.Having the No. 1 seed will be huge in this playoff format, especially since that seed will be the only team with a bye and that team will get home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. No team has won the Super Bowl that played on Wild-Card Weekend since 2013, even though more teams will have the opportunity to break that streak under this new format. While not every player is happy with the deal, the league will have labor peace for the next decade.
