Twitch: a Mock Draft this Wednesday!

The off-season has already started. And this Wednesday, on TDActu, it’s Mock Draft. See you live at 7 p.m. on Twitch.tv/tdactu.

The Colts will likely draft a quarterback

Usually, franchises like to keep their drafting strategies secret. But Jim Irsay, the owner of the Colts, may have spilled the beans.

During Shane Steichen’s introductory press conference, Irsay was quite clear about his interest in young quarterbacks, especially Bryce Young (Alabama).

“Knowing that we will probably have to find a young quarterback to develop,” said Irsay in particular, while general manager Chris Ballard seemed surprised, according to NBC’s Albert Breer.

“The Alabama player (Editor’s note: Bryce Young) looks good, I tell you that,” added Irsay, who responded favorably to the question of whether he would be able to give everything to recover a quarterback which he liked.

Given Young’s rating, the Colts’ pick 4 may not be enough. And such statements shouldn’t help Ballard in negotiations for Chicago’s No. 1 pick.

Jeff Saturday doesn’t hold a grudge

With the appointment of Shane Steichen, the Jeff Saturday adventure ends with the Colts. The one who was temporarily surprised for 8 hours took the news of his replacement very philosophically.

injuries

– Dalvin Cook (RB, Vikings) had shoulder surgery. According to the franchise, he “should be fully recovered before the start of the regular season.”

Coachs, coachs, coachs

– Greg Roman, the former Ravens offensive coordinator, will be interviewed next week by the Commanders for the same position.

– The Buccaneers announced that they interviewed Seahawks quarterback coach Dave Canales for their position as offensive coordinator.

– Jim Caldwell was recruited by the Panthers as an offensive consultant.

Transactions

The main signatures of the day: Jack Anderson (OL, Giants)

The main cuts of the day: Jordan Kunaszyk (LB, Browns)

Jalen Hurts has no head on contract

Author of an extraordinary third season with the Eagles, Jalen Hurts (QB) only has a year left on his contract with the Pennsylvania franchise. Enough to ask questions about his future contract, especially after his impressive performance at the Super Bowl.

The player does not seem to have the head to this question.

“I think the thing I’m most focused on is winning,” Hurts said according to NJ.com’s Chris Franklin. “The only thing that interests me is winning, and eventually winning championships. There is a day when this conversation will take place, but it is not today,” the 24-year-old pitcher clarified.

James Bradberry is just starting to think about it

James Bradberry (CB, Eagles) was only signed for one season in Philadelphia. After a good campaign, there will be no shortage of suitors. Will he stay with the Eagles? Asked by 94 WIP, he explained that the discussions have not yet started. For the criteria? He does not hide that money will have a role in his future.

“I know there are two things that are probably the most important to me: being in a good squad to be able to play in the playoffs and winning games there, but I’m not going to play at a discount either. »

Andy Reid boycotted Rihanna

For many, the Super Bowl is synonymous with an impressive concert at halftime. For the players, obviously, this is not the priority. Especially for the Chiefs. Trailing 24-14 at the break, the players had a formal ban from their coach Andy Reid to watch the show at halftime, according to the anecdote told by Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs).

“I heard it was great,” Mahomes said of the gig on the Jimmy Kimmel Live. “But Coach Reid told us ‘if you go out to see the concert, stay out because you won’t play the rest of the game,'” Mahomes recounted.

The players have not lost everything: failing to listen Diamonds, they will soon have diamonds on their fingers.
