The clock is ticking for teams to sign players given the franchise designation to a long-term deal. The deadline for franchise players to sign multiyear contracts is July 15 at 4 p.m. ET. After the deadline pa ses, players with franchise tags are prohibited from signing long-term deals until the end of the regular season on Jan. 8, 2023.Eight players received franchise player designations this year. Four have already signed long term. The two franchised wide receivers quickly agreed to deals after the 2022 league year started on March 16.

Adams signed a five-year, $140 million contract containing $65.67 million in guarantees. The maximum value of Adams' contract is $141.25 million because of an annual $250,000 Pro Bowl incentive. Adams' deal is really $67.5 million over three years because there's $72.5 million in the last two years. The chances of Adams playing 2025 and 2026 for $36.25 million each when he's 32 and 33 years old are remote.The signed left tackle to a three-year, $52.75 million contract with $33 million fully guaranteed. The deal is worth as much as $54.25 million with incentives. The made the 's fifth-highest-paid tight end by average yearly salary at $13,687,500 per year. Njoku's four-year, $54.75 million contract has $28 million in guarantees. The maximum value of the deal is $56.75 million thanks to $500,000 of annual incentives based on All-Pro selections.Here's a look at the situations of the four franchise players who haven't signed long term.There wasn't any doubt that the Chiefs were going to franchise Brown for $16.662 million. The Chiefs couldn't risk Brown potentially being a one-year rental by becoming a free agent given the draft capital required to obtain him from the shortly before the 2021 . Brown forced a trade because he wanted to be a left tackle, which wasn't po sible in Baltimore because of All-Pro . The Chiefs gave up their 2021 first-round pick (31st overall), a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 fourth pick and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Ravens for Brown, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick.Brown validated his move from right tackle to left tackle with a selection to the Pro Bowl last season. The Chiefs are likely going to join the ranks of teams
Tom Glavine Jersey paying a premium financially when a long-term deal for a player who had remaining time on his contract isn't done in connection with a trade involving significant draft capital.Brown, who recently hired Michael Portner of the Delta Sports Group as his new agent, has expre sed optimism about his signing. Any long-term deal will surely put Brown in the $20 million-per-year offensive lineman club, which currently has three members. Left tackles , and have deals with the , Packers and , averaging $23.01 million, $23 million and $22 million per year, respectively. Bates reportedly has no intention of playing under his $12.911 million franchise tag. Sitting
Nick Markakis Jersey out the season if a long-term deal isn't reached by July 15 would be surprising. The franchise tag is more than twice as much what Bates made from his four-year rookie contract that expired after the 2021 season. Bates' career earnings to date from his NFL player contract are just over $6.225 million.It is a rarity for franchise players to mi s a season. Last time it happened before running back in 2018 was with Chiefs defensive lineman in 1998.The Bengals probably view the $14 million per year that , who was designated as a franchise player by the in 2021, received from the Ravens on a five-year deal in free agency this year as indicative of Bates' value. Bates likely was looking for a deal in the same vicinity as , who reset the safety market with a four-year, $70 million contract extension, averaging $17.5 million per year and worth up to $72 million through incentives and salary escalators from the last August. That was before the recent developments in the safety market. The Steelers making the league's highest-paid safety on a four-year extension, averaging $18.247 million per year with $36 million fully guaranteed, only complicates matters.

Frustrated by the slow pace of negotiations for a new contract, Schultz skipped the final part of organized team activities. He avoided being fined $95,877 by showing up for the mandatory June minicamp. The Cowboys can't be happy about the Njoku deal. Njoku's $13,687,500 average per year should serve as a salary floor for Schultz especially since Njoku doesn't measure up to him statistically. Schultz had a career year in 2021 with 78 catches, 808 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He was more productive last season in 17 games than Njoku was over the last two seasons combined in the 29 games he played. Njoku caught 55 pa ses for 688 yards with six touchdowns. Schultz produced 23 more receptions, 120 more receiving yards and two
Kurt Suzuki Jersey more touchdown catches than Njoku.Schultz and the Cowboys reportedly aren't close to reaching a deal. Playing the franchise tag game hasn't been the most economical move for the Cowboys. The last two times Dallas had someone play a season under a franchise tag, it cost them more to eventually sign the players long term. The same concept would likely apply to Schultz with a productive 2022 season.The Cowboys definitely wouldn't have needed to sign defensive end to a five-year, $105 million contract, averaging $21 million per year, if a deal had been done in 2018. At the July 15 long-term deal deadline, the $20 million-per-year non-quarterback didn't exist. doesn't sign a $40 million contract in March 2021 with an agreement reached in July 2020. There's a good chance Prescott's deal would have been under the $35 million-per-year extension signed with the Seahawks in 2019. didn't get his $39 million-per-year extension from the Texans, which was seemingly an important data point for Prescott, until right before the 2020 regular season started.All has been quiet on the Gesicki contract front.

The NFL season is finally upon us and we get a fairly interesting matchup in Week 1 that will take place in Charlotte. Jon Gruden and the now-Las Vegas travel acro s the country to take on the this weekend -- and it's fair to say that both teams are entering a new era. Gruden is trying to turn the Raiders back into a winning franchise in a new location while first-year head coach Matt Rhule is out to prove that
Matt Joyce Jersey he belongs in this league.The Raiders appeared ready to make a late push for a spot in the postseason last year, but a four-game losing streak at the end of the season took them out of contention. They even lost their last two games in Oakland, which was even if you aren't a Raiders fan. Still, this team does appear to be headed in the right direction and po se ses young talent on both sides of the ball. The quarterback position is still one to watch, however. As for the Panthers, they are an entirely different team. No more Ron Rivera, , , or . They still do have , but can the versatile offensive weapon single-handedly win games for this young team?Below, we will get you caught up on the most intriguing betting angles to get you locked in before kickoff. All odds are via William Hill Sportsbook.Date:Sunday, September 13 |Time:1 p.m. ETLocation:Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, North Carolina)TV:CBS|Stream:Follow: Back in May, this line originally opened up with the Panthers as one-point favorites! To be fair, however, a lot has taken place in Carolina over the past four months. The spread has moved in the Raiders' favor by about an average of
Santiago Casilla Jersey a point per month, and it now currently sits at -3.The pick: Raiders -3.The all-time series between these two teams is tied 3-3 with the Panthers having won two out of the past three. As CBS Sports writer Patrik Walker notes in his , however, this matchup is about rookie versus veteran coaches. Expect McCaffrey to receive plenty of touches both on the ground and through the air, but I'm picking the Raiders to win this game against a rebuilding Panthers team.The Raiders were one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NFL last season, as they averaged just 19.6 points per contest. I expect this offense to be better in 2020, but how much better is yet to be determined. The Panthers weren't much better in 2019, as they averaged 21.3 points per game, but they upgraded at quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Still, the Saints averaged just 25 points a game with him as their starter in five games last season, and I would be shocked if Carolina got close to that number in the season opener. Pick: Under 47.5. With any contest in Week 1, I would stay away from betting on the total. Due to the lack of a preseason and offseason in general, we have no idea which teams are going to show more rust than others, but I expect both to run the ball plenty in this matchup. The pick: Raiders -1.5.I have the Raiders winning this game and I am unafraid to predict that they will hold a halftime lead. With this small

Jacobs caught just 20 pa ses in 13 games last season, but he has made it clear that he wants to be more involved in the pa sing game, even saying . I predict he will make several catches in this game, and 18 yards is not hard to clear. Christian McCaffrey total receiving yards: Over 52.5 (-105).With this being Rhule's first game as an NFL head coach, I expect him to give McCaffrey plenty of touches. The Pro Bowl running back averaged over 62 receiving yards a game last year, and I believe 52.5 is too low of a benchmark in the season opener. With how explosive he is, it
Andrew Triggs Jersey could take him just a handful of catches to get to the Over. total receptions: Over 4.5 (-130).Waller was undisputed favorite receiver in 2019, as he caught 90 of his 117 targets for 1,145 yards and three touchdowns. No other player on the Raiders even reached 50 receptions. Through basic math, we can see that Waller averaged over five catches a game last season, but there's another reason to be excited about this prop: Waller will be working the middle of the field against a young linebacker corps that does not include the likes of Luke Kuechly. Carr should be looking Waller's way early and often on Sunday.Derek Carr pa sing completions: Under 23.5 (+110).The 23.5 line for completions is an interesting one for Carr. looked a bit inaccurate during his 2020 debut and finished with just 20 completions while barely went over on this number on Thursday night with 24. Yes, the Chiefs did run the ball plenty with rookie , but this Raiders game could end up being a lot like the Chiefs' victory earlier this week. If the Raiders establish an early lead, Jacobs is sure to get plenty of work on the ground. Carr recorded the second-most completions of his career last season with 361. Still, that's just an average of
Reggie Jackson Jersey 22.5 completions per game. If Carr looks rusty or the Raiders jump out to an early lead, those are both factors that could help you hit the Under here.

They care every single week. We're in Week 16, and we're 4-11, and there's fans that watch this game, that show up to the stadium, that put in time and energy and effort and care about this."So, if you can't go out there and you can't work out, you can't show up on
Justin Verlander Jersey time, you can't practice, you can't want to go out there and win, you shouldn't be here. Because this is a privilege, it's the greatest job in the world.

If you can't care enough to go out there and give everything you've got and try your hardest, that's bulls---."So that's how... There are people every week that still tweet you, that still come up to you and say, 'Hey, we're still rooting for you; we're still behind you.' They have no

On April 24, 2020, the used the Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts, one of the nation's top quarterbacks this past season. Selecting a talented quarterback in a draft isn't a novel concept, but after the pick, some folks online remembered a different date: April 29, 2019.On that date, the Eagles signed starting quarterback to a four-year, $128 million contract extension with $107 million in guaranteed money. Needle s to say, many who
Brian McCann Jersey were following the draft were quite surprised at the pick. There was so much surprise, in fact, that a prospect some considered to have been a smarter selection for the Eagles, Baylor receiver Denzel Mims -- by the New York Jets-- became a more popular trending topic on Twitter than Hurts himself.In

You'd think that every team not named the in the AFC East would be doing backflips now that has left the organization after 20 years of dominance and signed with the
Mike Gesicki Youth Jersey in the free agency. While that largely is the case, safety is a bit torn about the six-time champion quarterback's decision.The veteran is entering his fourth season with the Bills in 2020 and, now that he will no longer face Brady twice a year, he told the Network's Mike Giardi because he wanted to at least get a single win against the former Pats QB."It's wide open with 12 out of the division. It makes it wide open and that's on us in order to take advantage of that," Poyer told Giardi. "I'd say it is bittersweet having Tom out of the division just because I had never beaten Tom.
Thomas Rawls Women Jersey I think I'm like 0-9 against Tom, so I definitely wanted to get a W in that column. But it's a great opportunity for us to seize, and we have the pieces -- just continue to work and trust the proce s."It's no great secret that Brady's departure does open the door for the rest of the team
AJ Dillon Women Jersey in the AFC East to take back a division that New England has dominated for the past 20 years. With Brady at the helm, the Patriots were able to win 16 of the last 17 division titles, including 11 straight. Now that he's gone, Poyer's Bills are looked at as the team most ready to dethrone the Patriots, who are currently looking at po sibly starting second-year quarterback . According to the
Lane Johnson Women Jersey latest odds at William Hill Sports Book, New England is still the favorites to win the division at +120, but Buffalo is no far behind at all at +130. Unlike in years past, the AFC East race won't be locked up by Week 1, which will make for very
Bruce Irvin Men Jersey intriguing matchups wire-to-wire. As for Poyer, who signed a two-year extension with Buffalo earlier this offseason, his hopes of potentially getting a W against Brady in the future will either have to wait until 2021 when his Bills head to Tampa Bay to face Brady's Bucs or hope that the two clash in Super Bowl LV at the end of this season.
Don't expect the trade chatter to die down anytime soon. There is nothing else going on in the football world, this situation boils over every few months as it is, and Adams isn't going to be happy until he gets paid in New York or somewhere else.I wouldn't get my hopes up that it gets resolved in short order, either, and the climate for a trade appears as bleak as ever. Getting any owner
Mike Pouncey Jersey to reach deep into his pockets during a pandemic, with the global economy in crisis and the specter of a shortened season with no fans po sibly looming, and make Adams the highest -paid safety in the history of the is no easy thing; and prying away cheap, premium draft picks in that same economic climate is no easy task from a general manager's perspective, either. The real money in the 2020 NFL offseason has already been spent, budgets have been maxed out in most cases and owners are risk averse to change course in one of the worst economies of their lifetime.A trade of this magnitude will be exceedingly difficult to execute on many levels, and with the having not a single other player on the roster in line for an extension of any sort, it continues to make the most sense to me for them simply to pay their young star. But
Malcom Brown Youth Jersey apparently getting the Johnson family to dig deep on such a deal is not an easy take, which in and of itself sends a signal to the rest of the market.Consider all that is uncertain right now. The cap may or may not stay stagnant or dip in 2020. It also may or may not bounce back quickly in 2021. The broadcast contracts may or may not get delayed in their negotiations because of the i sues networks may face having to refund money if games are not played acro s all sports. But what we do know is that the costs of draft picks is fixed, the best teams the kinds that might think a safety can put them over the top value them the most and the safety position is not one that shifts the balance of
Mac Jones Men Jersey power the way a quarterback or pa s rusher might. Then consider some of the teams that have exploring Adams in the past. The and the are the first to come to mind, and one could certainly make the case that each could use a ball-hawking safety ( is wearing out his welcome in Baltimore). But the Ravens do not have a ton of cap wiggle room, they have a slew of their own players who need new contracts in the next 18 months, cutting Thomas would incur more cap i sues, and I cannot see Eric DeCosta giving up real draft capital to take on all of that. Remember, Adams is not going to come cheap.As for the Cowboys, well, this whole thing will not be completed until mid July, Jerry Jones has been sitting on his war chest the last few years and getting him to do anther top-of-the-market deal on top of the Prescott contract is probably a bridge too far. Of yeah, and from the Jets perspective, the draft was just competed this month. They could have used that draft capital then. Waiting another full year and using those picks in what could be an altered 2021 draft depending on whether or not is played is far from ideal. Nothing about the current timing is ideal.If
Zach Wilson Men Jersey you don't believe me, check out what's been going on with the biggest fish remaining in free agency. How's that working out for and these days? You don't see a bunch of owners fighting and clawing
Jonathan Ogden Jersey to give them $15M-$20M checks do you? Well gue s what, pandemic or not, Adams is going to want his money right now, upfront, in bonuses. And from a team perspective, given how unusual the next few years might be, they would prefer in most cases to put the heavy lifting from a cap and cash perspective several years down the line, on the other side of this pandemic if po sible.It's tricky. Throw in the run on safeties that dominated a portion of the second round of the 2020 draft, and it further limits the trade options. So I wouldn't be holding my breath for this to get wrapped up anytime soon, and I'd make the case that the team best positioned to pay Adams right now is actually the Jets.
The Week 2 NFL schedule opens with the first Thursday Night Football game of the season, with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosting Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams are also listed among the top 2023 Super Bowl contenders in the AFC, and each won their respective season-openers. With an over/under of 54 points, there will likely be several high-scoring players to choose from when building your NFL DFS lineups. Are Herbert and Mahomes must-start options in your
Jackie Robinson Jersey Showdown NFL DFS strategy? Would it make sense to focus on a star wide receiver, running back, or tight end in your Chargers vs. Chiefs DFS strategy? With Keenan Allen (hamstring) out, Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams could see more targets for the Chargers on TNF, while Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire all project to be impact NFL DFS picks for the Chiefs.Before making any DFS picks for Chiefs vs. Chargers on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel of your own, .Kaylor is an NFL and DFS

One of Kaylor's top NFL DFS picks for Week 2 Thursday Night Football is Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce. The seven-time Pro Bowler was Patrick Mahomes' favorite target in Week 1
Joe Kelly Jersey , totaling eight catches for 121 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Cardinals. Kelce also has had succe s against the Chargers in recent matchups, racking up 17 receptions for 295 yards and two touchdowns in two games in 2021.Kaylor is predicting another big NFL DFS outing for the six-time All-Pro on Thursday Night Football. "Kelce is kind of low-hanging fruit in the DFS world, but he is a must-roster this week and should be considered for Captain/MVP slots. With his track record against the Chargers and his connection with Patrick Mahomes, this should be a no-brainer. In a game that will likely be high-scoring, I'm projecting a floor of eight targets for Kelce on Thursday night.
Russell Martin Jersey " .Kaylor is also targeting another undervalued option that could explode for huge numbers for Thursday Night Football.
