The Bears disappointed by Chase Claypool?
Landed from the Steelers in exchange for a second round last season, Chase Claypool (WR, Bears) has not particularly shone so far (140 yards and no touchdown in 7 games).
While expectations are high, with a promising duo alongside DJ Moore in particular, the first echoes of the training camps are not likely to reassure Windy City fans, according to Marc Silverman (ESPN):
“All I can tell you is that the trend is not what the Bears would have liked to see this offseason. I heard a few people say he was not a very motivated player. After, there is time, Claypool can still change this impression that he gives of him. »
Patriots cornerback Jack Jones arrested for possession of firearms at airport
This is news that Bill Belichick would have done well. This Friday, the Massachusetts State Police made public the arrest of Jack Jones (BC, Patriots) at Boston’s Logan Airport after two firearms were found in his carry-on. The defensive back is now being prosecuted for illegal possession of firearms, in particular within an airport. He is expected to be brought to justice this week. An arrest which arrives in a complicated context for this player who had already lived a rookie season in sawtooth.
In 2022, for his arrival in the league, the cornerback had been aligned 13 times (including two tenures) before being completely removed from the rotation in December. Blame it on an internal Patriots suspension for violations of franchise rules. A few weeks ago, Bill Belichick finally spoke, explaining that both parties wanted to start from scratch and that this suspension was indeed lifted. Jack Jones was even lined up with the starters during spring training. Not sure if that’s still the case now.
Ron Rivera confirms Sam Howell as starting quarterback
He said it at the end of the 2022 season and he has just confirmed it. According to ESPN’s John Keim, Commanders coach Ron Rivera has just reiterated his confidence in Sam Howell. The pitcher will be the No. 1 quarterback when he starts training camp this summer. A decision motivated in particular by the confidence displayed by the former North Carolina and his ability to lead his teammates on the line of scrimmage. It only remains for him “to” keep his place now if he wants to play in Week 1 and not be grilled by Jacoby Brissett.
An additional draft in July
This is not systematic, but the NFL sometimes organizes additional drafts. These are organized to allow the selection of players who are not eligible at the time of the draft (in particular for academic or disciplinary reasons).
How Extra Draft works is a little different from traditional drafting: teams have the option to put a draft round into play to select one of the players eligible for the Extra Draft. The team with the highest bid drafts the player, but loses the corresponding draft round in the next draft.
The 2023 supplementary draft will therefore take place on July 11. The last edition took place in 2019, during which the Cardinals had selected safety Jalen Thompson with a 5th round. He had been the only selection that year. Josh Gordon (2012), or Hall of Famer Cris Carter (1987) were selected in this way. This summer, Purdue receiver Milton Wright is a favorite for a selection.
They are placed on the injured list: Dre Miller (WR, Giants), Avery Williams (RB, Falcons)
Rumors
– The Commanders are said to be keenly interested in free agent Kareem Hunt (RB). (CBS)
Transactions
The main signings of the day: Chris Blair (WR, Falcons), Albert Huggins (DL, Falcons), Gervon Dexter (DT, Bears) and Tyrique Stevenson (DB, Bears).
The main cups of the day: Scott Nelson (S, Steelers).
In short
– Hall of Famer Bob Brown has died at the age of 81. Choice number 2 of the draft in 1964, the offensive line had made the happiness of the Eagles, the Rams or the Raiders during his 10 seasons in the NFL, to the point of entering the Hall of Fame in 2004.
