The Buccaneers have Antonio Brown after , but his departure from the team is merely a matter of procedure. Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians made that much clear when he declared that Brown was "no longer a Buc" after the team's win over the Jets.(UPDATE: The Buccaneers on Thursday afternoon.)However, removingthe seven-time Pro Bowlerfrom the locker room doesn't eliminate the po sibility of more Brown-related drama. Case in point: Brown decided that Thursday morning was a good time to fire off some social-media posts involving Arians, as well as Tom Brady and his longtime trainer, Alex Guerrero.MORE: In his firstpost on Instagram, Brown shared after he abruptly left the Buccaneers' Week 17 game Antonio Callaway Jersey against the Jets. He added the caption, "They make you seem like the bad person so they can feel right about their wrongs."But then Brown got more specific, tweeting outwhat appears to be a conversation between him and Arians showing that they had discu sed before Sunday's game. In a statement released through his attorney on Wednesday, Brown alleged that he didn't quit on the team but was because he wouldn't play through a "well-documented" injury. Ariansdidn't share details of the on-field exchangethat he had with Brown, only saying that it didn't cover the status of Brown's ankle."I'm all-in coach," Brown said in the alleged text conversation. "Really can't get to full speed. I wanna win, wanna be there. If I wake up tomorrow and feel better, I'll be ready.""Come see me in the morning," Ariansreplied, according Kareem Hunt Jersey to the screenshot. "We'll talk it out. Definitely want you with us in case you're ready."Health over Wealth # Barbarian AB (@AB84) Then Brown took aim at Brady and Gurerrero, sharing an alleged conversation that he had with Guerrero regarding a financial i sue. Brown asked Guerrero for half of the $100,000 that he Britton Colquitt Jersey paid for services, according to the screenshot, and Guerrero asked where he should send the money." Brady's guy Guerrero charging me $100,000 and never doing the work on me!" Brown said in the Instagram caption. " How do you even work with people like this!"Now Antonio Brown is going after Bradys longtime trainer and busine s partner Alex Guerrero, saying he wants his $100,000 back. JennaLaineESPN (@JennaLaineESPN) Brown also shared animage of the "Home Alone 2"poster withArians and Brady portraying the thieves originally played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.And finally, there is this... JennaLaineESPN (@JennaLaineESPN) In his final post, Brown explained that he was ultimately more upset with how the team handled his injury than any actions made by his teammates."Don't get it twisted. My brothers have been good to me," Brown tweeted. "From Tom to practice squad, we were a Eric Murray Jersey top-level unit. They have been good to me and knew nothing about my talks with coach last week. The team mishandled this situation. They let me down and, more importantly, my teammates."Dont get it twisted. My brothers have been good to me. From Tom to practice squad, we were a top-level unit. They have been good to me and knew nothing about my talks with coach last week. The team mishandled this situation. They let me down and, more importantly, my teammates. AB (@AB84) Arians is not scheduled to speak to reporters, but Brady is supposed to be available to the media on Thursday. He said Sunday that Brown's exit was "We all love him. We care about him deeply. We want to see him be at his best. Unfortunately, he won't be with our team," Brady said."We have a lot of friendships that will last. Again, I think the most important thing about football are the relationships with your friends and teammates, and they go beyond the field."I think everyone should be very compa sionate and empathetic toward some very Bernie Kosar Jersey difficult things that are happening."(UPDATE: Arians is on Thursday after the conclusion of the Buccaneers' practice.)

When Carson Wentz threw a touchdown to Travis Fulgham on "Sunday Night Football," Cris Collinsworth congratulated Wentz for finding succe s throwing to receivers whose names he might not even know. Aaron Rodgers could be in line for similar kudos on Monday Night Football.Down both Davante Adams (hamstring) and Allen Lazard (core) due to injury, the undefeated Green Bay Packers will take on the winle s Atlanta Falcons with a crew of misfits at wide receiver. The future Hall of Famer Rodgers has only thrown two touchdown pa ses in his career to a former first-round pick (both to Marcedes Lewis), so he likely won't care too much. But this will be a more mashed Mecole Hardman Jersey -up crew than even Rodgers is used to, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling serving as the veteran of a group that also features Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor.Green Bay could choose to lean on its running game of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams even more than normal to make up for the receiving absences. But Atlanta has also allowed nine pa sing touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards pa sing through three weeks, so expect Rodgers to look for succe s through the air even with his le s-than-heralded crew.Here's a breakdown of the various players who could catch pa ses for Green Bay on Derrick Thomas Jersey Monday night:MORE: Marquez Valdes-ScantlingValdes-Scantling takes on a role as elder statesman for the Packers without Adams and Lazard. His 72 NFL receptions look like millions when compared to the limited top-level work for the other receivers in this group. Valdes-Scantling's biggest calling card is as a deep-ball threat. He has already reeled in a 45-yard touchdown this season, and on two other plays, he was tackled by the ankles from behind on what would've been touchdown pa ses from Aaron Rodgers over the top.After some promise as a rookie in 2018 out of South Florida, Valdes-Scantling disappointed with inconsistency in 2019. His solid start to 2020 will be put to the test as the top option in this WR corps Monday night.Darrius ShepherdShepherd was part of four FCS national title teams at North Dakota State. That wasn't enough to get him drafted, though. He joined Green Bay last season and caught one pa s for one yard. After seeing 23 snaps in Week 3, Shepherd will likely be Green Bay's No. 2 receiver in Week 4.Last season in Week 6, Shepherd playing on Monday Night Football for the Packers and had a nightmare evening - he fumbled a punt and dropped a pa s that led to an interception. Shepherd will get a chance at redemption against the Falcons.He didnt let anything that happened last year rattle him," .You could tell by the way he came in and just focused on the footwork aspect of it, catching the football, just everything. You Dontae Johnson Jersey can tell his antennae were up and he wanted to come in and shut a few people up. And I feel like hes doing a good job of that.Malik TaylorTaylorattended Division II power Ferris State, where he was a top receiver and return man. In 2017, Taylor caught 61 pa ses for 906 yards and six touchdowns for the Bulldogs.In 2019, Taylor spent the entirety of the season on Green Bay's practice squad - he was even more unknown than most Division II standouts due to mi sing most of his final season with an injury. At Central Michigan's 2019 pro day, a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. If Taylor catches a pa s against the Falcons, Armani Watts Jersey it'll be his first NFL reception.Tyler ErvinErvin is listed on the Green Bay roster as a running back and wears No. 32, but he'll spend most of his time out wide before going into motion when he's on the field for the Packers in Week 4. A cla sic gadget player, Ervin has four rushes and four targets already this season, in addition to returning kicks and punts.In Week 1 against the Vikings, Ervin ran three times for 38 yards. While he'll run screens and short pa s patterns, if Ervin has a game-breaking play Monday, it'll likely be on some form of end around or reverse.Robert TonyanA tight end, Tonyan is in his third year with the Packers after playing his college ball at Indiana. He's on pace to shatter his best NFL numbers, already having caught seven pa ses for 75 yards and two scores this season. At 6-5, 237 pounds, Tonyan serves as a big weapon down the seam for Rodgers along with providing a strong presence in the red zone.Jace SternbergerSternberger is the more hyped of Green Bay's top two tight ends, even though Tonyan has seen more work in the early going. He was a third-round pick in 2019 but was only targeted once the whole season. So far in 2020, Sternberger has three catches for 36 yards.Checking in at 6-5 and 251 pounds, Sternberger is a bit bigger than Tonyan but still ran a decent 4.75 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in 2019. Down receivers, Green Bay likely will rely heavily on two tight-end sets against the Falcons, giving Tonyan and Sternberger both plenty of action.Reggie BegeltonThe Packers signed Reggie Begelton from their practice squad Tyrann Mathieu Jersey to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game, choosing him off the practice squad overRobert FosterandJuwan Winfree. Begelton finished his career at Lamar University in Texas in 2015 before spending time in the Canadian Football League. He's never played an NFL game.Begelton holds numerous Lamar records, including career receptions (227), single-season receptions (82) and single-game receptions (18).

Every season has at least one bye week from hell for a certain position. It looks this is that week for running backs. Najee Harris, Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, Ezekiel Elliott, James Robinson, and Zack Mo s are all out, leaving several holes in lineups for many fantasy football owners. It's time to dig deep at this important position, and our Week 7 RB PPR rankings can help you find viable replacements.Heading into last week, the Bucs, Jets, Bengals, and Cowboys were all giving up over seven receptions per game to RBs. Is that a product of matchups (i.e. playing teams with top receiving backs) or is Ronnie Stanley Jersey that a product of poor pa s defense against running backs? It's always tough to say -- and in the case of the Bucs, it might have more to do with garbage-time production than anything -- but it's still something to note for PPR purposes. The Seahawks, Dolphins, Packers, and Falcons were all averaging more than six RB receptions allowed per game.WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | This week, the Bears (@ Buccaneers), Patriots (vs. Jets), Ravens (vs. Bengals), Saints (@ Seahawks), Falcons (vs. Dolphins), Washington (@ Packers), and Dolphins (@ Falcons) are facing those defenses, so borderline backs like Damien Williams, Rhamondre Stevenson, Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, J.D Nico Siragusa Jersey . McKi sic, and Myles Gaskin have even more PPR value than usual.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Of course, an extra reception or two isn't enough to make a running back a top play. Rushing yards and touchdowns are still important, and guys like Damien Harris (vs. Jets), Miles Sanders (@ Raiders), and James Conner/Chase Edmonds (vs. Texans), who are traditionally on the start-sit bubble, look like must-starts this week. Edmonds always has more PPR appeal while the other three are generally downgraded quite a bit in point-per-reception formats. However, with so many top backs on bye or injured this week, beggars can't be choosers.WEEK 7 FANTASY: | | Similarly, high-volume RBs in tough matchups, such as Devontae Booker (vs. Panthers), Elijah Mitchell (vs. Colts), Mark Ingram (@ Cardinals), Michael Carter (@ Patriots), and Melvin Gordon/Javonte Williams (@ Browns), are all tough to sit, even Jordan Lasley Jersey in PPR. Ingram has the least value, but he's always a candidate for 15-plus touches and a short TD. That's worth something, though this might be the week that a four-catch RB has a higher floor. It's also worth noting that JaMycal Hasty (ankle) is expected back this week, so they could really eat into Mitchell's value (and have some of his own).WEEK 7 DFS LINEUPS: | | Ultimately, there aren't easy answers here, and there are even fewer worthwhile sleepers than usual in PPR formats. This is one of those weeks where you do your best and just take what you can get. If things are really rough, consider making a trade, but if you can handle a potentially low-scoring week at RB, then plow ahead and hope for a TD or a bunch of short catches.MORE WEEK 7 DFS: | | Note: We'll be updating these RB PPR rankings throughout the week, so check back for analysis and the latest player movement.For individual analysis of key RBs, click here.Fantasy RB PPR Rankings Week 7: Who to start at running backRankings are based on full-point PPR scoring RankPlayer1Derrick Henry, TEN vs. KC2Alvin Kamara, NO @ SEA3Aaron Jones, GB vs. WAS4Jonathan Taylor, IND @ SF5Darrell Henderson, LAR vs. DET6Chuba Hubbard, CAR @ NYG7D'Andre Swift, Shane Ray Jersey DET @ LAR8Antonio Gibson, WAS @ GB9Leonard Fournette, TB vs. CHI10Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL @ MIA11Joe Mixon, CIN @ BAL12Miles Sanders, PHI @ LV13Darrel Williams, KC @ TEN14Mike Davis, ATL @ MIA15Josh Jacobs, LV vs. PHI16Damien Harris, NE vs. NYJ17Devontae Booker, NYG vs. CAR18D'Ernest Johnson, CLE vs. DEN19Myles Gaskin, MIA vs. ATL20Chase Edmonds, ARI vs. HOU21Jamaal Williams, DET @ LAR22Elijah Mitchell, SF vs. IND23Damien Williams, CHI @ TB24Alex Collins, SEA vs. NO25Michael Carter, NYJ @ NE26Melvin Gordon, DEN @ CLE27JD McKi sic, WAS @ GB28James Conner, ARI vs. HOU29Mark Ingram, HOU @ IND30Javonte Williams, DEN @ CLE31Devonta Freeman, BAL vs. CIN32Samaje Perine, CIN @ BAL33Rhamondre Stevenson, NE vs. NYJ34AJ Dillon, GB vs. WAS35Khalil Herbert, CHI @ TB36Sony Michel, LAR vs. DET37Demetric Felton, CLE vs. DEN38Nyheim Hines, IND @ SF39Rashaad Penny, SEA vs. NO40Malcolm Brown, MIA vs. ATL41Le'Veon Bell, BAL vs. CIN42Kenneth Gainwell, PHI @ LV43Tevin Coleman, NYJ @ NE44David Johnson, HOU @ ARI45Giovani Bernard, TB vs. CHI46Kenyan Drake, LV vs. PHI47JaMycal Hasty, SF vs. IND48Ty Maurice Canady Jersey 'Son Williams, BAL vs. CIN49Salvon Ahmed, MIA vs. ATL50Jeremy McNichols, TEN vs. KC51Jerick McKinnon, KC @ TEN52Ronald Jones II, TB vs. CHI53Ty Johnson, NYJ @ NE54Brandon Bolden, NE vs. NYJ55Phillip Lindsay, HOU @ ARI56Trey Sermon, SF vs. IND

Chris Carson (neck) is officially "questionable" heading into the Seahawks' Week 5Thursday Night Football showdown against the Rams. He , and as always, the short week of rest and preparation makes it feel more likely he'll be inactive. That said Earl Campbell Jersey , he hasn't been ruled out yet, so fantasy football owners will be frantically checking for updates prior to making their first start 'em, sit 'em decision of the week.We'll continue to update this article with news on Carson up until the official active/inactive report comes out on Thursday around 6:50p.m. ET. For all the latest fantasy updates, follow us on Twitter .MORE TNF: | |Is Chris Carson playing on Thursday night?UPDATE 1:Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta reported Thursday afternoon that Carson is, indeed, a "" and we won't know his status until 90 minutes before kickoff.UPDATE 2:Carson .Carsondue to his neck injury and will be a game-time decision for Thursday night. We'll continue to monitor Carson's status, but as Jack Conklin Jersey for now, he's not trending in the right direction.A neck injury is nothing to play around with, so we'll likely be at the mercy of a last-second ruling on his availability. There's also a risk he gets limited work if he does play, so even if he's active, this is a worrisome situation for Carson fantasy owners.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | The Rams are often viewed as a stout front seven led by Aaron Donald, but they've been in the bottom half of the league against RBs in fantasy thus far. In PPR leagues, they've allowed Giovanni Bernard, David Montgomery, James Conner, and Chase Edmonds to score at least 17.9 fantasy points. So, while on paper theyshouldbe great against RBs, they've allowed plenty of backs to feed on them (though garbage time is responsible for some of that production). However, they did have succe s shutting down Jonathon Taylor Wesley Woodyard Jersey against a struggling Colts' offensive line. In , Seattle checkedin at No. 18 in the league. They've played to that level, if not worse. They're in the bottom 10 in sacks allowed and bottom half of the league in rushing yards despite Ru sell Wilson bringing his rushing acumen to the table.WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | All that Austin Johnson Jersey said, Seattle could be overmatched up front, making this an air attack between Matthew Stafford and Ru sell Wilson. Seattle has attempted just 91 runs this season, seventh-fewest in the NFL.Even if Carson is healthy, he may not be a must-start given all of the risks and concerns.WEEK 5 FANTASY: | | If Carson is inactive, Alex Collins figures to be the lead back for Seattle. However, the Seahawks have opted to use a few backs in the past when Carson has been banged up. Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas could prevent Collins from having a workhorse role, but we still see Collins as a worthwhile flex after he impre sed with 78 total yards and a TD on 12 touches last week Corey Davis Jersey .Reminder: If you do decide to start Carson, make sure he's in the RB spot rather than the flex spot in your lineup. This will allow you to be more flexible later in the week if unforeseen injuries/Covid-19 complications happen.

Cinematic. Transformative. Legendary. All words have been used to describe The Weeknd's performance.The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) is gearing up for, what should be, a "transformative" performance this Sunday, with a 12-minute window to make an impact on the world Nate Solder Jersey . From what's been reported and hinted at, the show should go down in the annals of halftime-show history, with a never-before-seen stage design and setup that shouldJe se Collins, executive producer of the halftime show, said he expects a "transformative" performance from the show, a one-of-a-kind act from a one-of-a-kind performer.Here's what we know about the very secretive performance:MORE HALFTIME: | Super Bowl 55 halftime show performersAs of Feb. 4, 2021, the Weeknd is the only confirmed performer for the halftime show, but as is custom with Super Bowl halftime shows, the Weeknd is expected to be joined on stage by a special guest.While the Weeknd is the headliner for the event, one of the following Kevin Zeitler Jersey rumored names may make an appearance:Daft PunkAriana GrandeKendrick LamarDrakeAlong with Daft Punk, the Weeknd's "Starboy" is a hit off of the titular album. AlongsideAriana Grande, the Weeknd has performed "Love Me Harder," a hit song that fans are clamoring to see performed live.Kendrick Lamar and the Weeknd teamed up for "Pray For Me," a song off of Marvel's "Black Panther" soundtrack. Saquon Barkley Jersey The song peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.Drake is rumored to potentially make an appearance to double-down on the Canadian presence in the show.Super Bowl 55 halftime show stageIn a twist, a decent part of thehalftime show will be taking place from the actual stands in Raymond James Stadium.While we've seen digitized crowds with graphics incorporated in halftime shows past, there's never been a halftime Markus Golden Jersey show to actually take place on a set from the stands.The Weeknd said in a pre s conference onthat the field and the stands will be used for the show, marking an interesting wrinkle in his halftime show performance. Given the storyline of the Weeknd's "character" since the release of "After Hours" in Jabrill Peppers Jersey 2020, the show should is also expected to be "cinematic" in nature.While there hasn't been an official stage design photo or artist renderingfor the halftime show released yet, the Weeknd is fronting $7 million of his own money in addition to the budget already allocated for the show to make the show "what he envisioned.Also of note, there will be no pre-recorded segments; the show will air completely live, unlike what we've seen at recent NFL halftime shows.

The tight end position is usually one of the toughest ones to navigate in fantasy football, and it will continue to be during fantasy championship week. Owners that don't have one of the top six or seven players at the position will have to continue to look for streamers to trust in tough start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Our Week 16 fantasy TE rankings will help you sort through the top options and recommend some potential volume and matchup-based sleepers to trust.Per usual, our top-10 TEs are, more or le s, the same as previous weeks with the only changes coming in the order in which they're ranked. This week, Robert Tonyan (vs. Titans) and Logan Thomas (vs. Panthers) are bumped up a bit higher than usual, as Tonyan has consistently gotten red-zone TDs and scores while Thomas continues to see a lot of targets regardle s of who is starting at QB. That said, those were the only big changes at Sidney Jones Jersey the top.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Outside the top-10, the potential options get a bit dicier, but there are still some solid sleepers. Cole Kmet (@ Jaguars) looks like one of the best options this week, as he is emerging as the No. 1 tight end in an improving Bears offense and he is taking on a Jaguars team that has been weak to TEs this year. Austin Hooper (@ Jets) is in a similar boat. He isn't getting as many targets as Kmet has in recent weeks, but the Jets have allowed more fantasy points to TEs than any other team in the league, so if Hooper should have a good game. Tyler Eifert (vs. Bears) and Kmet's teammate Jimmy Graham (@ Jaguars) are also in play thanks to highly favorable matchups and fairly consistent targets.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | There are a couple of regular starting TEs in tougher matchups this week, as Eric Ebron (vs. Colts) and Evan Engram (@ Ravens) are taking on a couple of good defenses. Ebron especially could have trouble since the Colts have been a top-five defenseagainst TEs this year. Both players are still getting targets, so they can be trusted as lower-end starters, but there are better options out there, like most of the players mentioned above.Further down, Jordan Akins (vs. Bengals) and Dawson Knox (@ Patriots) qualify as deeper sleepers. Akins hasn't done a lot in recent weeks, but he has had several scoring opportunities and if he stops dropping them, he could emerge as a top play against a Bengals defense that has struggled Seth Joyner Jersey against TEs. Meanwhile, Knox is starting to see more targets for the Bills and has a TD in three of his past four games. He's more of a TD-dependent option, but if the Patriots Nick Foles Jersey are focused on stopping Stefon Diggs, Knox could fly under the radar and find the end zone.WEEK 16 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Once again, George Kittle (foot) will bear watching, as he did return to practice for the 49ers last week. It's unclear when or if he'll be healthy enough to return this season, but if he's back in Week 16, he will be a top-10 TE, bare minimum.We won't include him in our rankings just yet, but keep an eye on his status in the coming weeks.WEEK 16 DFS CASH LINEUPS: |Check back for updates to these TE rankings throughout the week.MORE WEEK 16 DFS: | | Week 16 Fantasy TE Rankings (Standard)These rankings are for non-PPR leagues WEEK 16 FANTASY: | |RankPlayer1Travis Kelce, KC vs. ATL2Darren Waller, LV vs. MIA3Noah Fant, DEN @ LAC.Returning from an illne s in Week 15, Fant was targeted 11 times and caught eight pa ses for 68 yards and a TD against a Bills defense that has been weak to TEs this year. Fant gets a similarly solid matchup against a Chargers team that has allowed 10 TDs to the TE position, tied for the third -most in the NFL, so he can be trusted.4T.J. Hockenson, DET vs. TB5Mark Andrews, BAL vs. NYG6George Kittle, SF @ ARI7Robert Tonyan, GB vs. TEN.Tonyan has established himself as a top-10 fixture at TE, as he has caught a TD in five straight games and is averaging 4.4 catches for 40.8 yards in that span. The Titans have struggled against top TEs this year, so Tonyan should be in for a good day.8Mike Gesicki, MIA @ LV.Gesicki (shoulder) seemed close to playing last week, but he'll need to be watched closely if you're planning on using him against the Raiders. If he does play, he should do well as Tua Tagovailoa's preferred red-zone target.9Logan Thomas, WAS vs. CAR.Thomas had a league-high 15 targets in Week 15. He is the clear-cut No. 2 weapon in the Washington offense behind Terry McLaurin. The Panthers have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to TEs this year, so this is another great matchup for Ron Jaworski Jersey Thomas to take advantage of.10Rob Gronkowski, TB @ DET11Dallas Goedert, PHI @ DAL.Goedert continues to out-target Zach Ertz in the Eagles' offense, and he seems to be building a solid rapport with Jalen Hurts. He is averaging four catches and 41 yards in Hurts' two starts and the Cowboys just let Jordan Reed find the end zone, so Goedert could follow suit. If he does that, he'll be a nice start at the TE spot.12Austin Hooper, CLE @ NYJ.The red-hot Baker Mayfield targeted Hooper six times against the Giants. That marked the most targets he had seen since Week 6. Hooper turned those targets into five catches, 41 yards, and a TD. He should have a chance to do some serious damage against a Jets team that has allowed more fantasy points, yards (926), and TDs (13) to TEs than any other team.13Tyler Eifert, JAX vs. CHI.The Bears have allowed seven TDs to TEs in their last eight games and in reality, it would've been eight if not for an ugly Jordan Akins drop in the end zone a couple of weeks ago. Eifert is averaging 3.7 catches for 39.3 yards in his past three games. If he can continue to produce at that clip and add a TD against a Bears defense that has played poorly against TEs this year (second-most fantasy points allowed to the position), he is worth starting.14Cole Kmet, CHI @ JAX.After back-to-back seven target games, Kmet disappointed against the Vikings with two catches for 12 Shareef Miller Jersey yards. Jimmy Graham was targeted three times compared to his two, so it seems as if this situation might be more of a timeshare than it was initially looking like. That said, Kmet played all of the Bears' offensive snaps and now will get a chance to take on a Jaguars defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to TEs and the second-most TDs (11).15Hayden Hurst, ATL @ KC.The Chiefs have allowed the six

There was a lot of buzz about potential trades in the lead-up to 2022 NFL free agency, but nobody was sure if any deals would actually come to fruition. Sure, there were rumors that Aaron Rodgers, Ru sell Wilson and Deshaun Watson could be traded, but would any team bite on a move?Well, the answer to that was a resounding yes. As a result, March 2022 was one of the craziest months in recent NFL history.While Rodgers stayed put, Wilson and Watson were both traded for ma sive packages involving multiple first-round draft picks. The Watson trade caused Matt Ryan to be moved and will also signal the end of the Baker Mayfield era in Cleveland. Carson Wentz was also traded and, oh yeah, Tom Brady came out of retirement just 40 days after his initial announcement.Two of the NFL's best receivers, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill, were also traded and got ma sive contract extensions. Watson got an extension, too, that contained the most guaranteed money in NFL history.Incredibly, those were just the trades that occurred before and during free agency. There were still countle s other key signings that will have an impact on the league, especially as a part of the arms race within the AFC.The dust has mostly settled on free agency, though there are still some key players that will sign during the second wave of free agency. But who is the league's No. 1 Brendan Perlini Jersey team after free agency? An AFC squad appears to have emerged as the NFL's top contender.IYER: NFL power rankings1. Buffalo BillsThe AFC is going to be a slugfest this year, but the Bills look like the cream of the crop for now. Dominik Kahun Jersey They made one of the shock signings of the offseason, landing Von Miller as a free agent, and shored up some of their offensive holes with cheap, veteran signings like guard Rodger Saffold, tight end O.J. Howard, running back Duke Johnson Jr. and wide receiver Jamison Crowder. They are deep, talented and ready to make a Super Bowl run.2. Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe Buccaneers had arguably the best free agency of any team in the NFL. Why? Because Tom Brady decided not to retire after all. The 44-year-old quarterback spent 40 days in retirement before announcing he would return on eve of free agency.Brady's announcement allowed the Bucs to not only convince Chris Godwin, Carlton Davis, Leonard Fournette and Ryan Jensen to stay, but it also helped them lure wide-out Ru sell Gage and safety Logan Ryan to the team. The team also traded for Patriots guard Shaq Mason, a high-end starter, to replace Alex Cappa on the right side of the offensive line, so they look like one of the best teams in a weakened NFC.3. Cincinnati BengalsMuch has been made of the improvement of the Bengals' divisional rival, the Browns, after their acquisition of Deshaun Watson. That said, the Bengals may be having a better offseason, as they have fixed their biggest weakne s: the offensive line.Cincinnati allowed Joe Burrow to be sacked a league-high 51 times in the regular season and another 19 in the playoffs. To fix that i sue, the Bengals signed Alex Cappa, Ted Karras and La'el Patrick Sharp Jersey Collins to start at the two guard spots and tackle respectively. Now, the team's biggest problem is at the No. 2 cornerback spot, which they can addre s during the 2022 NFL Draft.4. Kansas City ChiefsIt's hard to love what the Chiefs have done during free agency. They're still a great team and will be as long as they have Patrick Mahomes, but trading top receiver Tyreek Hill greatly hurts their chances of winning Super Bowl 57. It may help them long-term given the a sets they got for him, but they are far behind in the AFC arms race as a result of that move.Kansas City added a couple of receivers to replace Hill in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but will the team have enough weapons? And will the lo ses of Charvarius Ward and Tyrann Mathieu cause their secondary to regre s? These questions are enough to keep the Chiefs behind the AFC's other top teams in these power rankings. 5. Los Angeles RamsThe Rams are in a similar boat to the Chiefs. They're still one of the best teams in their conference, but they have suffered some lo ses during the offseason. Los Angeles most notably lost Von Miller, but starting cornerback Darious Williams also left in free agency ED Belfour Jersey .Meanwhile, three offensive starters have left, as Andrew Whitworth retired, Austin Corbett signed with the Panthers in free agency and Robert Woods was traded to the Titans. The Rams have replacements for all three most notably, Allen Robinson will replace Woods but their offensive line depth is a bit suspect.These lo ses won't keep the Rams from contending. However, they won't be as strong without adding a replacement for Miller and some depth on the offensive line.6. Los Angeles ChargersThe Chargers have put together one of the most impre sive offseasons of any NFL team to date, getting younger and better on both sides of the ball. They did well to keep their top free agent, Mike Williams on a three-year deal worth $60 million and but the bigger improvements have come on defense.Los Angels added a true, high-level counterpart for Joey Bosa by trading for former Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack. The two will form a fearsome pa s-rushing duo while the addition of J.C. Jackson, who has 25 career interceptions including 17 in the past two seasons, will strengthen the Chargers' secondary.That star power, along with the additions of solid defensive tackles Austin Johnson and Sebastian Joseph-Day, will go a long way toward improving the Chargers' defense.NFL DRAFT 2022:|7. Green Bay PackersThe Packers accomplished their biggest goal of the 2022 NFL offseason by keeping Aaron Rodgers. They haven't done much to improve their team aside from that.Sure, Green Bay re-signed some of its key defensive playmakers from 2021, including De'Vondre Campbell and Rasul Douglas. It also will get healthier as offensive linemen David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins return from season-ending injuries along with tight end Robert Tonyan.That said, trading Davante Adams has left ama sivehole at the receiver position. Allen Lazard is the team's top option there currently, and it seems like the Packers will either have to take on veteran reclamation projects at the position or rely on rookies to shoulder the load in the pa sing game.The Packers can't slip too far in any power rankings because of the presence of two-time reigning MVP Rodgers. Still, moving on from Adams was a disheartening move for the Packers faithful that want to see their team finally get over the hump and Luc Snuggerud Jersey make it back to the Super Bowl.8.Denver BroncosThe Broncos went 7-10 last season with Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock starting at quarterback under coach Vic Fangio. Now, they have Ru sell Wilson at quarterback with Nathaniel Hackett coaching.Talk about an upgrade.Denver now is a legitimate contender in the AFC, as they already had a strong stable of offensive weapons and one of th

The Hawks have been ruling the social media Rich Hill Jersey game this season. When you're the best, it's normal you have haters and imitators.Atlanta to thank their fans after an awesome 19-game win streak ended. The Timberwolves thought it would be cute to troll the Hawks with their own idea.MORE: | | Minnesota created their own Spotify playlist with a little me sage to their southern Chris Taylor Jersey brethren.Hey , we couldn't help but notice that you enjoy making playlists, so we went ahead and made you this pic.twitter.com/lqzbCAUrmH MN Timberwolves (@MNTimberwolves) Oh, Atlanta. Everybody wants to rule the world, but Jackie Robinson Jersey honestly you will see we are born to run. No matter what happens, we love you and always will. Regardle s we got to get four on the floor. Our time Sandy Koufax Jersey is coming. We are hungry and the Wolves A. J. Pollock Jersey won't back down. Sincerely, the Wolfpack.The irony of an 11-40 team coming at a team with a 42-10 record is not lost upon me.Nice try Wolves, but kindly have a seat.

The Steelers spent most of the 2022 NFL offseason searching for a succe sor to Louis Williams Jersey general manager Kevin Colbert, and have opted for an in-house replacement. Omar Khan to replace the 65-year-old Colbert, who is retiring after 22 seasons with the team and 12 as its general manager. Khan will be just the second person in Steelers history to operate under the GM title, along with Colbert.Khan was selected for this role after an extensive search by the Steelers. The team originally interviewed 16 candidates, including ESPN's Louis Riddick, for the job but narrowed the list to six in their final rounds of interviews.MORE: Among the final six was another internal candidate, pro scouting coordinator Brandon Hunt, as well as the following four external candidates:Doug Whaley, former Bills GMAndy Weidl, Eagles VP of player personnelJohn Spytek, Buccaneers VP of player personnelRyan Cowden, Titans VP of player personnelUltimately, Khan was Pittsburgh's preferred choice, and he will take over with the 2022 NFL Draft well in the rearview mirror. What do you need to know about Landry Shamet Jersey Khan? Here's a brief bio on the Steelers' newest front office leader.MORE: Who is Omar Khan?Khan, 45, is a long-time member of the Steelers' front office who has been with the team since 2001. He has been a key part of their football operations department and has been the team'sVPof football and busine s administration since 2016.Khan helped the Steelers win Super Bowls 40 and 43 during his stint as the team's football administration coordinator from 2001 through 2011. Before his time with the Steelers, Khan spent five years in the Saints' front office Los Angeles Clippers Jersey from 1997 through 2001.While Colbert was well-known for his scouting ability and his prowe s in navigating the NFL Draft, Khan's strong suit is contract negotiations, per. As such, he will focus more on signing players to contract extensions and salary-cap management in this role than his predece sor did.Another new hire will bolster Khan's work in the Steelers' front office. Pittsburgh hired Eagles VP of player personnel Andy Weidl to serve as an a sistant GM under Khan.Weidl, who becomes the first a sistant GM in Steelers history, will focus more on personnel evaluation to allow Khan to focus on managing the salary cap and player contracts.MORE: Why did the Steelers hire Omar Khan?According to , Khan has a good relationship with Steelers owner Art Rooney II. That trust is part of the reason that Pittsburgh hired him.Khan had numerous opportunities to go somewhere else during his 21 years with the team but Kawhi Leonard Jersey stayed loyal to Rooney. That goes a long way in the Steelers' organization.Rooney trusts him, knows how the Steelers operate and knows what they value.It helps that Khan was prudent in his approach to free-agent signings and contract extensions during his time under Colbert. The team routinely retains its top, homegrown talent, and that's part of the reason that the team's defensive core has stayed strong for so long.In recent Blake Griffin Jersey years, Pittsburgh has found quality producers for reasonable prices on the free-agent market, like Joe Haden, Steven Nelson and Tyson Alualu. Khan's ability in contract negotiations has certainly played a part in that succe s.
