For yet another season, the Panthers are facing uncertainty at the quarterback position. Still, offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo believes there's reason to be excited about what the team has at the position in 2022.McAdoocame into Panthers training camp with an open mind about the quarterback competition. He was
Kelvin Beachum Jersey eager to see Sam Darnold and the compete with one another.Thus far, he has been impre sed with the effort each is putting in as they try to stake their claims to the starting job."Those guys are out there battling. They're out there competing," at a news conference Tuesday.We want to give everybody an opportunity to go out there and put their best football on tape, and we'll let it play itself out.MORE: McAdoo declined to comment on whether Darnold or Mayfield had
Arizona Cardinals Sleepwear Underwear emerged as a leader in the team's quarterback battle, joking that he"left his crystal ball in his other pants."However, he did expre s optimism about the position as a whole and explained that he believes the competition will help Darnold and Mayfield provided that it remains friendly.As long as we don't resort to cannibalism, I think we have a chance to get out of this pretty good. They're both going to be better players after we come out of camp and playing really good football. We're just going to let it play itself out. I
J J Watt T Shirts think the worst thing you can do is rush to a decision. Just have some patience.Well, that's one way to put it.MORE: Cannibalism references aside, McAdoo believes that both Darnold and Mayfield are working well together. In fact, he has been impre sed with the way each has handled the competition and not let it get in the way of building chemistry within the quarterback room."Up until this point, when you walked in the room, you didn't know if it was going to be a cold, dark room or what kind of room is going to be," McAdoo explained. "But it's certainly not. It's a room where these guys are open, and they have conversations and help each other out. They encourage each other. It has been really good to see. They've been pros. That's what you want."McAdoo has had more time working with the likes of Darnold, Matt Corral and
Kyler Murray T Shirts PJ Walker to date because Mayfield didn't join the Panthers until he was traded on July 6. Even still, he believes that the 27-year-old quarterback has been "pretty impre sive" since joining the Panthers at training camp.MORE: And more than anything else, McAdoo has been impre sed with Mayfield's natural leadership.One of his strengths is command. He can lead a room, he can command a room, he can command an offense. He has a good presence about him. And, you know, he's got a fire in his guts.It remains to be seen whether Mayfield's skill in this area will sway McAdoo to give him command of Carolina's offense. Either way,

The Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes are heating up on Wednesday. Beckham cleared waivers after 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday and now, the former Browns receiver is free to sign wherever he likes.As expected, there are plenty of suitors for Beckham's services. He struggled to sync up with Baker Mayfield during his time in Cleveland, but he still averaged 13.9 yards per reception during his two-plus years there. And NFL teams are always looking for more receiving talent.Beckham seems to want a couple of things with his new landing spot. He wants to play for a contender but also wants to be in a situation where he can get plenty of targets. He averaged just 2.8 catches per game for the Browns this season, so he's looking for a bigger role.Rumors are swirling around like crazy about Beckham, and it seems like he's narrowing
Jamar Johnson Jersey his list a bit. ESPN's Dianna Ru sini reports that he is "honing in" on the Packers, Chiefs and Saints as his top three potential options.On the day in which he could make his final decision, free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. is honing in on the Chiefs, Packers and Saints, per league sources. Dianna Ru sini (@diannaESPN) Does that rule out a late bid from other teams that are interested in him, like the Patriots and Seahawks? Certainly not, so until Beckham officially makes his choice, all options will be on the table.What's the latest on Odell Beckham Jr.'s status? Here are the rumors surrounding his top landing spots as he looks to make a decision about where to play next.MORE: Green Bay PackersThe Packers appear to be one of the frontrunners to sign Beckham at this time. noted Tuesday that Beckham has "prioritized the Packers as his No. 1 destination"as a free agent. Ru sini's report that the Packers are among the finalists Beckham is honing in on would seemingly back that up.Green Bay could use a true No. 2 receiver to complement Davante
Malik Reed Jersey Adams, so Beckham would make sense here. He also hasn't played with a quarterback like reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers during his career, so some NFL executives believe that could appeal to him, per .But will Beckham be willing to take the veteran minimum to sign in Green Bay? That's reportedly what the Packers are offering at the moment.According to NFL source, are offering Odell Beckham Jr., the veteran minimum. Of course, that could go up, but they cant pay him a ton when they still havent extended Davante Adams. Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) OBJ LANDING SPOTS: New England PatriotsThe Patriots have had a tendency to go after disgruntled, big-name receivers under Bill Belichick's watch. In 2019, they signed Antonio Brown after his tumultuous few months with the Raiders. Could they do the same with Beckham after his Browns exit?It's an idea that the team has at least explored. The team has been in touch with Beckham's camp, per , and NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran reports that the Patriots are intrigued by Beckham's skill set and could try to sign him."The likelihood exists," Curran said of Beckham coming to New England, . "The folks that I've spoken to in Foxboro over the last week about Odell Beckham, not once has anyone expre sed to me doubt about the fact that he could be an intriguing add. I've also had folks tell
Rojesterman Farris Jersey me that he does bring an ability that isn't nece sarily represented on their offense."The Patriots aren't on the list of potential landing spots that Ru sini reported, but Pro Football Talk reports that they . Perhaps New England can put on an 11th-hour full-court pre s to sell Beckham on resurrecting his career under Belichick and Co.MORE: Kansas City ChiefsThe latest report from Ru sini indicates that the Chiefs are one of Beckham's preferred landing spots. It makes sense, as the team has struggled to find a quality No. 2 receiver and replacement for Sammy Watkins this season. They signed Josh Gordon after his reinstatement to the NFL, but that experiment hasn't panned out yet.Schultz reported that , so they certainly appear to have an interest in him. And if Beckham wants to play with a top-tier quarterback, teaming up with Patrick Mahomes makes a lot of sense despite the recent struggles of the NFL's highest-paid quarterback.WEEK 10
Denver Broncos Hoodies Sweatshirts NFL PICKS: | New Orleans SaintsThe Saints have shown an interest in Beckham since the trade deadline. ESPN's Kimberley A. Martin reported that they were one of the teams that had trade discu sions about Beckham before ultimately deciding to pa s on a move.Im told there were discu sions re: Odell going to the but both sides couldnt agree on a workable deal, given how much OBJ is owed the rest of the year.Plus, there still is optimism in the building that OBJ can be a big part of their second-half playoff push KimberLEY A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) That said, the Saints are still interested in Beckham, and New Orleans is a different type of landing spot than the others on this list.The Saints don't have a great quarterback right now. Trevor Siemian is the starter with Jameis Winston out for the season. However,they have an opportunity for Beckham to be a true No. 1 receiver in this offense.Michael Thomas is also out for the season and the Saints have largely taken a committee approach at receiver. Marquez Callaway has looked good at times, but the team lacks a true No. 1 receiver.Beckham could have a chance to be that in New Orleans. That's why the team appears to be one of the three teams he is honing
DeMarcus Ware Jersey in on, per Ru sini. Plus, Beckham went to college at LSU and grew up in New Orleans. So, that connection could make this a more legitimate landing spot than most realize.MORE: Seattle SeahawksThe Seahawks are another team that has expre sed an interest in Beckham. reported that the Seahawks were "a potential suitor to keep an eye on" in the Beckham sweepstakes, and before Beckham hit waivers seemed to hint that the interest was mutual. reported over the weekend that Beckham preferred to land with the Seahawks. That would pair him with a top-tier quarterback in Ru sell Wilson but he would also be the No. 3 receiver in that offense to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.Is that something that Beckham is willing to do? It seems po sible given the smoke around the Seahawks. However, they weren't one of the three teams Ru sini reported Beckham is "honing in" on., soit appears that Seattle has taken a step back in the bidding war for his services.
Not every person who signed the petition organized by the Players Coalition to endorse the Ending Qualified Immunity Act is an NFL player, and not every NFL players name is on it. But there are a ton of them, more like many tons,
J.P. Holtz Jersey and that weight is both literal and figurative.The more consequential figures from the league include Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Jarvis Landry and Calais Campbell. There are Pro Football Hall of Famers Kurt Warner and Aeneas Williams. There are NBA champion basketball coaches Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich. There are NBA players and Major League Baseball players.All are in favor of a bill in the House of Representatives created by Ayanna Pre sley of Ma sachusetts and Justin Amash of Michiganthat seeks to end the qualified immunity protection afforded to government officials from being held personally liable for constitutional violations like the right to be free from exce sive police force for money damages under federal law so long as the officials did not violate clearly established law, as the website Lawfare explained this week. The bill has 16 co-sponsors.MORE: The Players Coalition, launched by former NFL starAnquan Boldin and the Eagles'Malcolm Jenkinsin 2017, collected the endorsements of more than 1,100 athletes and coaches and more than 300 front-office personnel from profe sional teams in support of the bill.We
William Perry Jersey demand accountability for police brutality, the groups Twitter accounted stated. Its time for a change.The qualified immunity concept became firmly established in 1967 following a Supreme Court case but increasingly was used in relation to police abuse cases within the past 15 years.A declared that increased availability of body-camera video or cellphone videos has not been able to counteract the influence of the qualified immunity under the careful stewardship of the Supreme Court on legal action against police officers when citizens are killed or injured by their actions.Qualified immunity protects police and other officials from consequences even for horrific rights abuses,Amash said in a statement posted on his website.It prevents accountability for
Larry Borom Jersey the bad apples and undermines the publics faith in law enforcement. Its at odds with the text of the law and the intent of Congre s, and it ultimately leaves Americans rights without appropriate protection. Members of Congre s have a duty to ensure government officials can be held accountable for violating Americans rights, and ending qualified immunity is a crucial part of that.In addition to the legislative action, NPR reports, two Supreme Court justices Sonia Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas have called for a review of the qualified immunity doctrine. The high court has eight such cases pending and could decide to hear any or all of them and revisit qualified immunity, which Thomas has written was wholly invented by the courts without a basis in history.Brees appearance on the petition is especially notable, given that a week ago he was criticized for his stance on peaceful demonstrations that coincide with the playing of the national anthem, such as Colin Kaepernick genuflecting while a
Rodney Adams Jersey member of the San Francisco 49ers.MORE: Brees was widely and harshly criticized by many NFL players, including some teammates, and by a number of media commentators. After apologizing, he then criticized President Donald Trump for construing the Kaepernick-style protests as being disrespectful to the military. Now, he has come out in favor of ending qualified immunity for police. His apologies have not been universally embraced by those his initial comments offended, but 49ers star defensive back Richard Sherman was one who did."I appreciated him doing that," Sherman told The San Francisco Chronicle. "People make mistakes in judgment all the time. None of us are perfect. I think it was just such a disappointment because the locker room and the culture is different
Robert Quinn Jersey than any other place. So you kind of get lulled into the belief that everyone has torn down those stereotypes and those walls. And everyone is treating each other equally."I feel better about him actually taking the time to educate himself. He and his wife they're not bad people. But I think he didn't fully understand the impact of those words. And I think he does fully understand it. So I do accept his apology."
