The Chiefs formalize the departure of Frank Clark
Unable to reach an agreement on the renegotiation of the contract, Franck Clark and the Chiefs put an end to their common history. The franchise formalized the departure of its defensive end on Tuesday. With Kansas City since 2019, Clark has played 38 games, for a total of 127 tackles including 23.5 sacks and 6 forced fumbles.
Whoever turns 30 in June could therefore play for a third franchise in 2023, after playing from 2015 to 2018 for the Seahawks.
Anyone interested in Lamar Jackson?
Among struggling franchises at quarterback, Atlanta is among credible candidates to host Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens), whose situation in Baltimore is uncertain. But obviously, we should not count on the Falcons to raise the stakes. According to several sources including ESPN, Atlanta is not ready to give away first two rounds for Jackson. The keys to the attack are still in the hands of Desmond Ridder, who started four games in 2022.
And Jackson’s prospects don’t look better elsewhere. Always on the side of ESPN, the Commanders and Dolphins would not be interested either. The Athletic announces that neither are the Panthers. The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that the Raiders are highly unlikely to take on the case, although ESPN is less assertive and assures that Las Vegas isn’t ruling anything out, not even Jackson.
The Buccaneers, Colts and Titans are other teams with a question mark at the pitching position, but there is no indication of interest from them at this time.
Geno Smith, the good deal?
First announced as a $105 million deal, Geno Smith’s return to Seattle is, as often, a bit more complicated than that. According to Pro Football Talk, it’s actually a three-year, $75 million deal. The extra 30 million? Bonuses according to objectives. 40 million are guaranteed upon signature.
Pete Carroll is very happy with this agreement, as he explained to the Seattle Times.
“It’s a good agreement for the franchise, a very good message sent to everyone. Here is a very good place to play, things are going in the right direction and we are extremely motivated. »
Dolphins set to release Byron Jones
According to Adam Schefter for ESPN, Byron Jones has been informed by Miami that he will be released from his contract. In order to make maximum savings on the payroll, this cut will take place after June and will allow the Dolphins to recover $ 13.6 million.
Long injured, Jones, 30, has not played since 2021. After 5 years with Dallas and 3 with Miami, the cornerback will have to find a new franchise if he wants to continue his career. Still, his body would have to allow it.
Transactions
– Donovan Smith (LT) is no longer a member of the Buccaneers. The franchise announced its cut on Wednesday. The 29-year-old was a second-round selection by Tampa in 2015. He was going to cost $17.9 million in 2023, when Tampa is well over the salary limit.
– Lorenzo Carter (LB, Falcons) signed up for two more seasons with Atlanta. He had 4 sacks and an interception last season. (ESPN)
They receive the exclusive rights tender (ERFA – one-year contract which prevents a player from negotiating with another team) and will therefore continue with their team : Josh Blackwell (DB, Bears), Andrew Brown (DL, Bears), Thomas Graham (CB, Browns), Ben Stille (TE, Browns), Elijah Campbell (DB, Dolphins)
The main signatures of the day: Lil’Jordan Humphrey (WR, Broncos), Ugochukwu Amadi (DB, Saints)
The main cuts of the day: Cethan Carter (TE, Dolphins),
Crime scene at Joe Mixon’s
The facts are murky at the moment, but Joe Mixon (RB, Bengals) is going to have to argue with the authorities. According to TMZ, his house is considered a crime scene. Police were called after gunfire, and a minor was taken to hospital.
For the moment, nothing is known about the possible involvement of the Bengals player in the case. No arrests have taken place. Mixon’s sister assured a local channel that he would have nothing to do with the facts.
A free match on Amazon Prime USA for Black Friday
The NFL continues to multiply broadcasters. On Tuesday, Amazon announced that a match will be streamed for free on Prime during Black Friday. Free, provided you subscribe to the Amazon service, of course.
In total, Amazon will broadcast 16 games from the 2023 regular season.
Philip Rivers quells the rumours…
Announced on the side of the 49ers or Miami, the retired Philip Rivers has put an end to the rumors concerning him. The former Chargers explained to AL.com that if there have been calls, it will not go any further.
“I had a few teams who took news. I haven’t contacted anyone and I won’t go anywhere. I think some teams, with some of their players unavailable, looked for a contingency plan, but it didn’t go any further. »
Given his last season in Indianapolis, you have to be damn desperate to call on Rivers, whose last game was in 2020. At 41, that’s a good age to retire.
…and Tom Brady laughing
Like Rivers, Tom Brady has seen information bloom about an alleged exit from retirement. And as with his former opponent, the former Patriots quieted the hallway noise with a simple phrase on twitter.
“Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has ever adopted a two-month-old kitten for their daughter. »
Aaron Jones wants to keep Rodgers
Teammate ofAaron Rodgers (QB, Packers) for 6 years, Aaron Jones (RB, Packers) hopes to play a seventh season with the four-time MVP. As he secured his future in Green Bay, Jones spoke about NFL Network about the future of his lifelong quarterback.
“I keep seeing everywhere the Jets want him, but right now he’s in Green Bay if he comes back and plays. I don’t want to see him go. You can take another veteran quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo is a winner, and they can win with him. I like Jimmy G.”
Unfortunately for Jones, the “Rodgers in New York” rumor is getting bigger and bigger.
