Philip Rivers Jersey says he’d ‘be excited’ if Chargers re-sign Antonio Gates Jersey

Philip Rivers would support the Chargers re-signing Antonio Gates.

Los Angeles’ starting tight end, Hunter Henry, suffered a season-ending ACL tear during OTAs last week. The Chargers are reportedly considering bringing back Gates, who spent 15 seasons with the team, following Henry’s injury.

Rivers said Gates’ return would get his vote,according to ESPN. Rivers also said he spoke with Gates last week.

Well, shoot, I’d always be excited if he walked back in the door,Rivers told reporters Tuesday.

Cleveland has a real chance to triple its combined win total from the past two seasons and flirt with a 6-10 record. The team has gotten that much better on both sides of the ball under new general manager John Dorsey.

Tyler Kroft Kids Jersey Taylor gives the Browns the ideal blend of caretaker and playmaker they have been missing for years. Thanks to him, sitting a rookie who’s supposed to be the future of the franchise is a rare no-brainer. From now through the preseason, let’s hope Jackson doesn’t let anything bend his mind.

Patricia, along with a teammate on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s football team, were charged after allegedly bursting into a South Padre Island hotel room where a woman was sleeping and took turns sexually assaulting her.

Neither Patricia, who was 21-years-old at the time, or his teammate ever stood trial as the alleged victim decided not to testify in the case. The case was dismissed in 1997 and the police report from the alleged incident has been tossed out, the Detroit News reported.

Wood told the News the woman recanted the allegations multiple times and Patricia’s Justin Evans”>http://www.officialbuccaneerslockerrooms.com/elite-justin-evans-jersey”>Justin Evans Youth jersey defense lawyers said he believes the allegations were fabricated.

The Lions announced late Wednesday Patricia was the subject of a standard pre-employment background check which did not disclose the indictment.

We have spoken to Coach Patricia about this at length as well as the attorney who represented him at the time, Wood, owner Martha Firestone Ford and general manager Bob Quinn said in a joint statement.

NFL worst-to-first candidates: Which teams could make big leaps in 2018?

NFL worst-to-first candidates: Which teams could make big leaps in 2018? More When former Buccaneers and Falcons center Joe Hawley left the game of football, he decided to give away most of his possessions, buy a van and hit the road with his dog.

Their gamble has not paid off: Gregory has played in just 14 career games, with no starts, one sack and 20 total tackles. He has not played in a game since the 2016 regular-season finale, playing the final two games of that season after back-to-back suspensions, four games, then 10 more, after violations of the drug policy. The NFL has 60 days to render a decision on reinstatement.

“To know where I come from, small city 35 miles south of here, and to hear I’m in the same category or talked about and jumping these greats in the playoffs, it’s pretty cool,” James said. “You hear the scoring, the field goals made, and for a kid that really doesn’t care much about scoring.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers star came into the night averaging a league-leading 32.9 points per game in the 2018 postseason, the second-highest scoring average he has posted in the playoffs (James averaged 35.3 points in 14 games in 2009).

During the 2017 conference finals, also against the Boston Celtics, James passed Michael Jordan for No. 1 on the all-time postseason scoring list.

James also ranks first in all-time playoff minutes, first in all-time playoff steals, third in all-time playoff assists, seventh in all-time playoff rebounds and is tied for 16th in all-time playoff blocks.

Patriots bring back Jason King Jersey

The Patriots have brought back Jason King, re-signing the offensive lineman Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports. New England waived rookie receiver Chris Lacy.
Authentic Kids Dan Marino Jersey
King has had multiple stints with the Patriots. The team most recently cut him May 10 after he had signed a futures contract with New England on February 6.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens had to defend his defensive strategies against James — Boston switched on pick-and-rolls and it sometimes left an undersized Terry Rozier on James — as if James hasn’t scored 1,107 career playoff points against the Celtics franchise and vaporized the organization the past four times he has seen it in the playoffs.

LeBron James struggled in Games 1 and 2 when he wasn’t able to get a switch against his initial defender. He has torched the Celtics over the past two games in those situations, however, going 16-of-23 from the field with no defensive switch in the half-court offense.

He and Alexander should both be in the mix for early playing time on a Packers defense that’s been revamped this offseason with new coordinator Mike Pettine taking over for Dom Capers.

Victor Oladipo, Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving have James Conner Womens Jersey similar fantasy values this season — but who is the best long-term keeper?
Limited Dale Weise Jersey
It’s worth giving pause before selecting any of these players, though most believe Leonard and Hayward will be back to full speed by the start of next season.

Irving’s chronic knee troubles are worrisome, as the question has to be raised as to whether he can play through the pounding of an 82-game regular season.

Meanwhile, Cousins said recently that he hopes to be back by the start of training camp, but even if that happens, there is little history of star big men returning to the same form following an Achilles injury.

Astros release currently suspended ex-top prospect Jon Singleton Jersey

The Houston Astros have released former top prospect Jon Singleton, who currently is serving a 100-game suspension for a third positive drug test.
Authentic Kids Aaron Ekblad Jersey
Elite Henrik Sedin Jersey The team made the announcement Monday night.

He has also admitted to abusing alcohol as a substitute for marijuana after the stint in rehab.

General manager Jeff Luhnow declined to discuss Singleton’s release on Tuesday.

So happy for him, Nationals manager Davey Martinez said of Taylor, who entered batting .189. He’s been working diligently to get his swing right. Before that, the throw he made home, incredible. This was Michael’s day and I’m proud of him.

Bryce Harper hit his NL-leading 15th home run of the season for Washington, which has won two straight after getting swept in a three-game series at home by the Dodgers.

San Diego’s defense provided openings for Washington in the ninth.

Soto, the youngest player in the majors, reached base in all four at-bats in his second career start. He led off the ninth with his third walk. Wilmer Difo followed with a groundout, which third baseman Cory Spangenberg bobbled, allowing Soto to reach second.

U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has had discussions with the NFL and is planning to introduce federal sports betting legislation.

In the meantime, Major League Baseball, the NBA and PGA Tour are lobbying in states interested in legalizing sports betting and have been asking for a percentage of the amount wagered on their respective events in the form of a royalty.

The indictment never went to trial, and the case was dismissed in January 1997, after the woman who made the accusation was unable to testify and can not Womens Percy Miller Jersey give a date certain when she will be available, according to the dismissal paperwork.

Wood said May 12 that the Lions followed the law in Patricia’s hiring process.

Bills Sign First-Round Pick Tremaine Edmunds Jersey

The Buffalo Bills had a pair of first-round picks in the 2018 draft and traded up for both of them. The second of those two first rounders signed on Saturday.

Buffalo signed LB Tremaine Edmunds to his rookie contract prior to the second day of rookie minicamp practices.

Edmunds (6-5, 250) is a 20-year old physical specimen, who even impresses fellow first-round pick Josh Allen who stands just as tall.

Limited Youth Bashaud Breeland Jersey I’m telling you Tremaine is a freak, said Allen. I told him, ‘Just don’t hit me.’ He’s a presence out there because he’s tall and lengthy. He’s just built. He doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him. I’m glad he’s on my team.

Knox cut his NFL teeth as an offensive line coach with the New York Jets from 1963-1966 and Detroit Lions from 1967-1972. He finished his 22-year head-coaching career with a 186-147 regular-season record and a 7-11 mark in the postseason.

A rematch with Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James awaits them, but for a Celtics team that has had to trudge uphill throughout the season, still playing at this point of the postseason feels like reason to celebrate.

Coach Brad Stevens said this group has never stopped playing together despite all the challenges they’ve faced. It’s a testament to a program they’ve been Authentic Johnny Cueto Jersey nurturing since he took over as coach five years ago.
Youth Dean Lowry Jersey
I always hoped we would get to a point where if things don’t go our way, we’re still extremely competitive because we have a kind of foundation in place, he said. Things haven’t always gone our way, but these guys are really talented, they’re really tough, they fit Boston. And hopefully we keep playing well.

In wide-open 2020 presidential field, Democrats are road-testing messages — and trying to redefine their party

The future of the Democratic Party has been booking late-night TV gigs, waking up for morning drive-time radio and showing up at watering holes in rural counties to try out new material.

Before the start of a 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, at least 25 candidates — mayors, governors, entrepreneurs, members of the House and Senate — have hit the road to workshop their vision, experiment with catchphrases and test policy ideas that could keep President Trump from winning a second term.

This is like taking the play to Topeka and New Haven to see what works before you even get to Broadway, said David Axelrod, a former strategist for President Barack Obama who hosts would-be candidates for public forums at the University of Chicago.

The coaches will get their first glimpse of a Division 1-AA quarterback who was a promising enough prospect for the New England Patriots to take a long, hard look during the evaluation process, but one whose physical limitations — including limited arm strength — led him to fall into the fourth round.

If that’s the worst thing that people say about me, then so be it, Lauletta said when asked about the arm-strength issue. I think there are a lot of other attributes that a quarterback has to have and I think I have those pretty well. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Lauletta, lightly recruited out of high school in Pennsylvania, has proven people wrong before. He has the right personality and mental acumen for the job. Can a fourth-round long shot become the successor for the greatest quarterback in Giants history?

There was good news and bad news. The good news: The A’s had requested permission to interview him for a major-league job and the Yankees were going to grant it. The bad news was that the Yankees were obviously OK with him leaving.

It worked out, Pedrique said.

Pete Carroll not sure if Earl Thomas Jersey will show for OTAs

Limited Womens Marcus Maye Jersey Earl Thomas seems to be making a pretty big statement right now, having missed the first two phases of the Seattle Seahawks’ offseason program. But the All-Pro safety will make an even bigger statement if he misses Phase 3, which includes a mandatory veteran minicamp.

Speaking to this on Sunday, head coach Pete Carroll admitted that he’s not sure where Thomas’ head is at regarding these offseason workouts.

We’ll find out. We’ve got to communicate. Phase 2 doesn’t look like it’s suiting him right now, so we’ll see, we’ll see what’s happening. Phase 3 is around the corner for us, so we’ll see. We’ve got one more week of Phase 2, Carroll said, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Earl had a fantastic offseason and I know he knows how to get in shape. Veterans sometimes look at those rules and they see ‘voluntary’ and they see it differently than the other guys, so we’ll see.

If I’m repping a non-QB, Corry said, I’m looking at how the guarantees have gone up. Mack and Donald could make a case for being compensated more like quarterbacks than their own position groups 鈥?treatment historically reserved for only the most special of non-QBs, like the Denver Broncos’ Von Miller 鈥?but Halsell and Corry agree the chance Ian Desmond Jersey of either earning a Cousins-type deal is fairly small, even if they’re willing to play two additional years on the franchise tag and hit unrestricted free agency in 2021 at age 30. Quarterbacks, teams will argue, are worth the investment due to the importance of the position.

During big moments in my career, the first guy I was looking for was Jason Witten.

In the playoffs in 2014, it was fourth down against the Lions in the fourth quarter…needing a touchdown to take the lead and being our last drive of the game we called a timeout. As I stood on the sideline deciding what play we wanted to call in the most pressure packed moment of our season, by brain wanted to call Y option. The problem was the Lions had double-teamed Jason most of the day and especially on key downs and distances. Nothing would be more key than this.聽
Limited Womens Garett Bolles Jersey
On the sideline, the coaches and I decided we would call two plays to ensure we got a good call. The problem was as I stood at the line of scrimmage that the Lions changed the defense from what they used all game. Without knowing for sure what they would be in, I changed both plays and went to ‘Tennessee, Tennessee.’聽

Saints don’t expect to see Mark Ingram Jersey until mandatory minicamp

Saints running back Mark Ingram is eligible to participate in the team’s offseason program despite his suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy, but Ingram hasn’t been around the team this offseason.

I think if the clubhouse was full of Trevor Samuel Girard Jersey Bauers, it would not be nearly as productive as if it’s full of Kluber, Carrasco, Clevinger, Bauer, [Josh] Tomlin and all the other players, Bauer said. Obviously, you need different personalities. You need different ways of going about things. Different experiences. Different approaches.
Mens Bob Probert Jersey
Just in life in general, people like to feel part of a cause or something bigger than themselves. It gets lonely if it’s just yourself. I know for me, personally, when I feel like I’m actually performing well enough to be considered part of the group, that makes me a lot more willing and able to interact like I’m part of the group.
Mens Alex Goligoski Jersey
Singularly, Bauer’s career is on the upswing, but the transition from outcast to one of the gang is almost as gratifying. He has discovered that his accomplishments mean more — and his days at the ballpark are more fulfilling — when he’s surrounded by friends.

Few criminal defendants plead guilty or no contest at the arraignment stage; in most cases, the prosecution is just getting started.

Foster remains on leave from the 49ers while the legal process proceeds. 49ers G.M. John Lynch has said that if it’s proven with the court system that Foster committed domestic violence, Foster no longer will be a member of the team.

The alleged victim in the case has recanted the core claims against Foster; the question becomes whether other evidence would support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

As to the pending charge arising from alleged possession of an illegal assault weapon, the change of heart won’t matter. However, the consequences for Foster from both a team and league perspective probably would be less severe.

Saints defensive end Alex Okafor Jersey expects to be ready for training camp

New Orleans Saints defensive end Alex Okafor believes he鈥檒l be ready to go for the start of training camp after a torn Achilles tendon brought his 2017 season to an abrupt end.

According to Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Okafor is encouraged by his recovery but won鈥檛 push the envelope either.

Arizona is obviously hoping Rosen is its long-term solution at the position, but he might be the short-term answer, as well. Bradford is the favorite to start Week 1, but his durability issues are well-documented, and Arizona’s shaky roster means the team is unlikely to contend for a playoff spot in a very tough NFC this season.

Rosen is an intriguing prospect at 6-foot-4 and 226 pounds with a solid arm and good accuracy. The UCLA product adds very little with his legs (notable for fantasy). And he was a very conservative thrower last season (8.1 aDOT). Like Darnold, Rosen struggled with turnovers in college, throwing 26 picks in 30 career starts. Expect Rosen to make plenty of starts in 2018, but he is not likely to do much damage in fantasy before 2019.

I tried to give my two cents to the league and what I think is best for Randy, Crawford said Wednesday. I think it鈥檚 best he鈥檚 back in the locker room, he鈥檚 back around us. I think it will be good for him, and it鈥檒l be good for us.

Gregory hasn鈥檛 played since the regular-season finale in 2016. The league suspended Gregory on January 6, 2017, for at least a year for violating its substance abuse policy.

Balancing the clubhouse-first instincts of a former player and the analytical mind of a new-age thinker, Philly’s manager is learning as he goes.

I love direction and an answer,” Bauer told ESPN.com. I just get this reputation of being a bad teammate, but no one would come in and tell me why. So a couple of O. J. Simpson Womens Jersey years back, I went and asked five or six teammates, ‘What makes me a bad teammate?’ And I couldn’t get a straight answer. Either they didn’t want to tell me to my face or they didn’t know.

The 1993 Dick Butkus Award winner was plagued by injuries during his three-year stint with the Colts, the only NFL team for which he played.

Shuler was coming off a Heisman-finalist season when Washington made him its hope at quarterback. But he couldn’t even beat out Gus Frerotte, the team’s seventh-rounder in the same draft, for the starting QB job in the long term. Shuler started just 13 games (4-9 record) in three seasons for the Redskins before he was traded to the Saints after the 1996 season.

Alberts retired before the 1997 season at age 26 with just seven starts to his name.

The Stanford product would be a great value pick late in the first. Another intriguing option, given the stable of second-tier receiver prospects, would be Maryland’s D.J. Moore, who has drawn comparisons to fellow Terrapin receiver Stefon Diggs. Moore has an impressive combination of size and speed (6-feet, 210 pounds, 4.42 40-yard dash) and proved he can line up in the slot or out wide and make plays once he gets the ball in his hands. That’s a skill set Carolina has desperately craved since letting Smith go in ’14.

The Panthers have private meetings scheduled with both prospects, so the team appears to be high on them. Both look like they could step in as immediate contributors. If either is available once pick 24 rolls around, it shouldn’t be much of a decision as to who the choice should be.

The 49ers would love to see a top offensive lineman like Nelson on the board, and they’ll be actively considering moving back. If they stay put, Ward and Roquan Smith will be considered. Ward offers higher upside for their defense.

… The Panthers go guard with their first pick. In the pre-draft press conference, head coach Ron Rivera mentioned that the left guard spot was a “question mark.” Fortunately for Carolina, this draft is heavy with guard and interior line depth, and a lot of that should still be around once it picks in the first. Will Hernandez, for one, could come in as an instant starter and a perfect replacement for Norwell. Others with some positional versatility, such as Ohio State’s Billy Price and Georgia’s Isaiah Wynn, could easily be the pick, too. Each could be plugged in at guard and potentially move elsewhere on the line later in their careers.
