A new destination for Josh Rosen?
Josh Rosen (QB, Dolphins) will he become the Xavier Gravelaine of the NFL? According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are said to be actively looking to find a new home for the third-year quarterback.
In two seasons, the former Cardinals managed the feat of pushing his franchises to select a quarterback in the first round of the draft. It would therefore not be surprising to see it, once again, sailing towards other skies. Since the start of his NFL career, Rosen has participated in 20 games, completing 275 of 502 passes, for 2,845 yards, 12 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
Ha Ha don’t laugh anymore

Three more years for Deshaun Watson?
It’s negotiating between the Texans and Deshaun Watson (QB) to find an agreement on a contract extension. According to Pro Football, the quarterback would rather move towards a rather short three-year extension, which would be added to the two remaining years of his contract.
It’s pretty much the norm in recent years, but Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs) turned things upside down a few weeks ago by signing up for 10 years at Kansas City. Watson should therefore not follow this original path. Houston is hoping to get Watson signed before the season opens. More than a week.
It’s stuck between the Eagles and Zach Ertz
According to ESPN, negotiations between Zach Ertz (TE, Eagles) and its leaders are not going very well. Discussions are said to have broken down after an offer that contained less guaranteed money than a previous offer made last November. A proposal that was also lower than the contract received by Austin Hooper (TE, Browns) in Cleveland during the offseason.
Sources: Negotiations between the #Eagles and TE Zach Ertz came to an abrupt halt when PHI made an offer that had less guaranteed money than their offer in November. The backloaded offer also had less cash over the next 4 seasons annually than Austin Hooper’s #Browns contract.

70 decibels for crowd noise?
With stadiums almost all emptied of their supporters, the NFL will allow franchises to broadcast crowd noise. Thursday, Sean Payton explained in a press conference that the level should be set at 70 decibels.
For comparison, 70 decibels is the sound level of a mower, vacuum cleaner or blower.
Christian Kirk hopes to live up to the expectations placed on him
With the arrival of DeAndre Hopkins (WR) and the extension of Larry Fitzgerald (WR), the Cardinals have in their ranks two receivers accustomed to exceeding 1,000 yards in a season. Kyler Murray (QB) has already announced that three of his receivers will exceed this limit in 2020. On the official website of the franchise, Christian Kirk returned to the statement of his quarterback.
“I have to go and play at my best. I am convinced that I have done what is necessary during this off season to be in the best possible condition. I can’t really talk about this, talk about what I’m going or hoping to do. I just have to go out there and play, and grab the opportunities when they come up. “
In two seasons in Arizona, Kirk has never exceeded 1,000 yards, but came relatively close last season with 709 yards in 13 games.
Jaguars aren’t selfish according to Gardner Minshew
After the departures of Yannick Ngakoue and Leonard Fournette, many questions have arisen about the competitiveness of Jacksonville. But that doesn’t seem to worry Gardner Minshew (QB, Jaguars), as he explained to Judy Battista for NFL.com.
“The thing that I like most about our team at the moment is our solidarity. We have a lot of young players, but they form a tight knit core. I don’t think we have selfish ambitions. I don’t think we have a personal calendar. “
In view of the significant weakening of the workforce, the Jacksonville players may well need to stick together to get through this season which may be very long to live.
