Billionaire Josh Harris would have offered $5 billion for the Broncos, had he known the bid would have won the day. It will take more than $5 billion to get commanders, so Harris brings reinforcements.
Adam Schefter of ESP. com N reports that billionaire Mitchell Rales (aren’t they all billionaires right now?), has joined Harris’ bid.
Rales and Harris will be “associated” with the effort. It remains to be seen whether Harris or Rales will be the majority owners, and which will be the quietest (and least powerful).
Rales, a Pittsburgh resident who founded Danaher Corporation, reportedly has a net income of $5. 8 billion. It recently donated $1. 9 billion to the Glenstone Foundation.
Rales turned to philanthropy after experiencing a near-death experience in Russia 26 years ago. I was fishing with friends. The helicopter stopped in a village to refuel. While they were there, a nearby plane exploded.
“We were 10 feet away,” Rales told The New York Times in 2013. “The flames spread over more than two floors. I was lucky to have escaped. I left Russia barefoot with only a torn T-shirt and sweatpants. From then on, it’s no longer about making money.
If you buy commanders, it may not be about making money, but you will actually make money. It’s not to make money in today’s NFL.
The commanders’ enthusiasts would remain the ultimate act of charity, if he frees them once and for all from Daniel Snyder.
Snyder first gave the impression in bidding for the team as the spouse of Howard Milstein, who would have been the principal owner. When they failed to get approval to buy the equipment from Jack Kent Cooke’s heirs, Snyder formed his own band and bought the team.
It is a day that has lived in infamy for all the enthusiasts of the team, and that nevertheless turns out to be heading towards a new beginning, with the vague hope that the new boss is not the same as the old one.
At this point, it couldn’t be much worse.
Defensive lineman John Cominsky was cut through the Falcons’ offseason program last year.
But then he discovered a home with the Lions, who claimed him on the ballot. And at that point in the season, he went from rotation player to starter for a team that almost made the playoffs.
After completing his rookie contract, Cominsky is on the verge of being an unrestricted free agent. He would like to return to Detroit, but he will have the opportunity to touch the open market.
“I think they have me there,” Cominsky told TheAthletic. com’s Zac Jackson. “I want to be there. We’ll see how it all works.
Cominsky noted that part of the explanation for why he needs to return to Detroit is because he loves the power within the franchise.
“I love betting on Dan Campbell,” Cominsky said. You’re not just headbutting the player before the game in Detroit. The coaches are also in the game. “
In 14 games with 8 starts, Cominsky recorded 4. 0 sacks with tackles for loss and 12 home runs by the quarterback. He also had 3 passes defended and a forced breakaway.
The defensive lineman necessarily said he thought it would be the loose agency wave of the moment, signing after a few days.
“There’s an advertising aspect to that,” he said. Maybe some other team will bring in numbers and the Lions will have to see what they need to do. I hope it works there, but I don’t know. “
A fourth-round pick in 2019, Cominsky played 27 games with a start for Atlanta before being cut last May.
Add former Patriots quarterback and current Patriots announcer Scott Zolak to the list of other people who convinced Tom Brady that he is one hundred percent retired.
Zolak told NBC Sports Boston that Brady’s bet on the Dolphins in 2023 is real.
“Brady can move to Miami. I think the option of him coming out of retirement is definitely at stake one hundred percent,” Zolak said. “You can look at yesterday’s tweet from the kitten. ” Don’t buy that.

Colin Cowherd, he knows other people. Fox. Je I don’t think I’m going to call it games. How is this agreement made? How to point to a guy with this $375 million, 10-year contract to call games, he may not even do it next year. his masters moved to Miami. She is looking for personal schools for her children. Cowherd communicates about the San Francisco offensive. Il does not communicate about San Francisco. Se communicates about Mike McDaniel in Miami.
Brady himself says he’s retired, but Brady also said he retired last year before changing his mind. who think that when Brady gets his ground on Wednesday, he can also just answer calls, and that if the right team calls with the right offer, he can accept.

He and the rest of the traveling organization (general manager Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett were there) returned to New Jersey with optimism that they can bring Rodgers to the team.

Mike McGlinchey’s correct version of the 49ers is on track to officially become an unrestricted free agent when the league’s new year begins next Wednesday, but he doesn’t think he will have to wait that long to know where he’ll play in 2023.
Teams can start negotiating with players from other groups on Mondays and the early hours of this era feature many reports of deals made. McGlinchey told KNBR that he hopes to reach a deal soon after the window opens.
“We’ve gotten a lot of data over the week on Combine and all that, what’s going on and what we can expect,” McGinchey said. “I think once Monday comes, I’ll probably have a pretty quick deal and a pretty quick resolution to make and sign on the first day of the loose agency. “
49ers general manager John Lynch recently hinted that he didn’t expect McGlinchey to return and the tackler said he earned the same message in his end-of-season verbal exchange with the team. McGlinchey said it’s “definitely a tough business” to leave a position he loves to play, but all the symptoms indicate he’ll take position early next week.
The Cardinals are headed in a new direction after hiring head coach Jonathan Gannon and general manager Monti Ossenfort from the end of the 2022 season and one of the questions the franchise will want to answer is whether their restart will end as quarterback due to some issues in the near future.
The decisions to recruit and make Kyler Murray bigger were made through other people who are no longer part of the organization and Murray’s play ahead of last year’s torn anterior cruciate ligament didn’t do much to convince the world that he’s something like the face of the franchise.
Tackle Kelvin Beachum is in a position for the loose company after helping protect Murray for the past three seasons and shared his take on the quarterback in an appearance on Arizona Sports on Wednesday. Beachum said quarterbacks “have to be able to lead an entire organization, I have to lead a team” and that Murray still fits into that kind of leader.
“It’s not a finished process,” Beachum said. I didn’t say he lacked leadership, I just think he wants to grow a little bit. I think if he has the ability and the will to grow, he’ll be fine. “They paid him for a reason, they paid him for his talent. He has the ability to lead. When you’re in this position, we want you to lead more. You are the face of the franchise. . . You will have to lead at all levels.
Murray’s progress could be affected by a desire to focus on recovering from his torn anterior cruciate ligament in an offseason that will also require a new offense briefing, but the Cardinals will want him to show it if they want to continue on the same path. after turning the gears elsewhere.
Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has just been reinstated in the NFL after a one-year suspension for gambling, said during his time with the Falcons he suffered a misdiagnosed foot injury and needed painkillers to cure it.
“To the fullest no one knows, but I played most of the 2020 season with a damaged foot,” Ridley wrote in ThePlayersTribune. com. “Remember that 1300-yard season? I was killing him in the foot, really. In fact, I had played through bone spurs my first two years. I only got over it with painkillers. But then, in my junior year, the wheels broke down. Week 8, we were playing Carolina and I watching Julio [Jones] and I just knew. I said, ‘No, brother, it’s different.
“However, when I had the MRI, the coach told me it was just a bruise on the bone. So I kept pushing. I took Toradol injections every Sunday and finished the season. Listen, I know the market. I’m a footballer. That was my decision. I know what we’re paid for, do you feel me? If it’s just a bruise, I’ll be there.
“We finished 4-12, and then all the staff were fired. The coach, the general manager, the head coach, everyone. When the new coach arrived, despite everything, he sent me to a specialist in Green Bay. Within the first hour, the doctor said, ‘Your foot is definitely broken. ‘»
Ridley says having to rely on painkillers affected his intellectual health, leading him to take a leave of absence from the Falcons.
“I still couldn’t plant without painkillers. So you’re stuck in this cycle where it’s like, ‘If you take this pill, you can run,'” Ridley writes. “After training, once the painkiller goes away, you still have to move from home and be a husband and father. . . I can’t even do anything, but I lie down in a dark room. That’s when the anxiety began. I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t want to let anyone down. My plan was to spend another season with pills and injections. Do my job. I adapted week 1 to a shell of myself, but I played.
Ridley says the only time he played football was in that spare time, when he was just looking for something to do. He says he is now in a more wonderful position, both physically and mentally, and that he is in a position to have a wonderful season. The jaguars
Jimmy Garoppolo was scheduled to leave the 49ers a year ago. He didn’t do it after shoulder surgery, the offseason pushed back advertising suitors, adding commanders.
This offseason, Garoppolo will surely be gone.
He’s a free agent and coach Kyle Shanahan has already planned the quarterback’s return.
Garoppolo is one of the most productive loose agents in its position, so it has a healthy market.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports it’s “likely” the Panthers, Texans and Raiders will have an interest in Garoppolo. All 3s are for a beginner quarterback and all 3 have a selection in the top 10.
Therefore, Garoppolo may end up being a bridge quarterback that the long-term answer somewhere.
The Texans are now coached by former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, who is former 49ers assistant Bobthrough Slowik as offensive coordinator.
“We have a procedure that we follow,” Slowik said, via a transcript of the team. “Jimmy is an obvious part of that procedure. It’s going to be a loose agent. We went through this as a training team. We take care of that. in the decomponent body of workers. We have conversations. I had conversations with [general manager] Nick [Caserio]. Then Nick and DeMeco came up with a combination and made a plan of what we need to do in the long term and let’s go to see where it takes us.
Garoppolo went 7-3 in 10 starts last season and threw for 2,437 yards, 16 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
Neither Bryce Young nor CJ Stroud won a national championship as starters, though neither played in the college football playoffs in their careers. Anthony Richardson did not have a winning record as a starter.
Richardson only thirteen games in his career in Florida and lost seven. The Gators went 6-6 in their 12 starts in 2022 under new head coach Billy Napier.
“A lot of other people look at this record and think we weren’t a smart team,” Richardson said in an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, via on3. com. “A lot of other people look at the record and say, ‘Oh, Anthony Richardson can’t lead a team. You can’t even pass Array500 in the season. To this, I only say that they do not know the ins and outs of the game. They do not perceive what they go through every day, they do not perceive how hard we work.
“Sometimes things don’t happen your way and that comes with the game. I feel like when I sign up for a team, I’m there to contribute, give my all, and supply in any way I can. I feel like I do it in each and every game. “
Richardson excelled in the NFL Scouting Combine last week with record-breaking performances for a quarterback in the vertical jump (40. 5 inches) and long jump (10 feet, nine inches). He ran 4. 43 in the 40.
But his record as a school starter has raised questions, as has his final touching percentage of 53. 8 last season. He threw 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2022, giving him 24 touchdowns and 15 career interceptions.
Richardson said he led his team a lot last season.
“It controls what I can control,” Richardson said. It’s not minor league football anymore where I can bully anyone. I can’t run around everyone. So I learned to handle the game. Especially as a quarterback, I can’t control to make all the big plays. I just have to take what the game provides me.
Initial reports related to gunfire near Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s home and classification as a “crime scene” gave a vague sense that Mixon might be in trouble. His coach, Sean Pena, created a very different impression.
Peña called 911 after hearing gunshots outside space Monday night. He said he said there were several “children” outside the space, playing.
“A kid running around brandishing a gun and went back to his car and it looked like it was a fake gun,” Peña said. “But then I kept chasing, chasing, chasing and then he shouted anything and came back. to his car and pulled out another gun. He looked like a Kel-Tec or something and ran through the back entrance of that space he had gone up and down, and said, “Fuck, yes. “
That’s when they were fired.
“Then the whole time I heard him running, running over there, and you heard ‘Pop, pop, pop, pop,'” Peña told the 911 operator.
The police report indicates that a minor shot in the foot, in all probability with shrapnel.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has not provided any updates since Tuesday, when the workplace said the space was “part of the crime scene. “
“We look forward to providing a fuller update on the investigation later this week,” a spokesperson told TMZ. com.

Jonathan Jones knows what Array needs but the veteran cornerback doesn’t know what he’ll do when the loose signature opens.
Jones hopes to return to the Patriots, repeating that “it will work. “
“It’s the preference: come back here,” Jones said Wednesday after speaking with women and mentors from Big Sister Boston at the Patriots Hall of Fame in honor of International Women’s Day, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald.
“That’s what I know. That’s what I like. This is New Inglaterra. Es saying no to New England.
Jones, 29, spent his first seven seasons with the Patriots. He never tried free agency, but the team opted to use the franchise tag on any of their free agents.
“There’s a lot of anxiety. You just took it easy,” Jones said. “This is something new for me. I’ve never been in free agency. But I just think everything will work out over time. “
Realistically, if Jones does come to market, he’ll most likely end up somewhere else. He is one of the most productive cornerbacks on the loose agent market and ranks 27th overall on PFT’s 100 Most Sensitive.
But Jones indicated “interest on both sides” in a deal before the loose signing begins.
“I can’t say I have the idea that it would be [to finish before the agency loose], but it’s imaginable that we can,” Jones said. “That would be great. If not, it’s only part of that. . . At some point, I’d like to have him in front of me, but that’s going to be what it’s going to be. I think I’m taking it right away and enjoying the ride.
