Mike McCarthy doesn’t feel under pressure with Cowboys
Recently, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones mentioned that heading into next season, his team will have to “do more, with less,” referring to the small number of unrestricted free agents they signed or retained, compared to those that they let go, all due to problems with the salary cap that the franchise is going through. Despite the above, HC Mike McCarthy, who achieved his third straight season with 12 victories, does not feel extra pressure to achieve success.
“Don’t feel bad for me,” McCarthy said, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. “I’m in a great position. I don’t see it as more pressure. I think it’s just the reality of our industry, it is what it is. “Those are financial decisions and, frankly, they are really personal, because we are subcontractors when it comes to the financial component,” he also said about entering his final season under an agreement with the Cowboys.
“You can’t lose sight of the bigger picture. I feel very blessed to be here. I am very committed to where I am and the opportunities I have had personally. I am very blessed. “I never lose sight of it,” concluded McCarthy, who has also previously entered a season twice under his final year of contract, once when he served as offensive coordinator of the Saints, and another when he served as head coach of the Packers. .

Clark Hunt did not promise new locker rooms for the Chiefs
The Chiefs are the current two-time NFL champions, but their facilities are among the worst in the league. The NFLPA recently released its second annual organizational ratings survey, and Kansas City came in at No. 31, ahead of only the Commanders. Additionally, owner Clark Hunt was voted the worst of the 32 owners, with complaints also citing the franchise’s outdated surroundings and perceived poor quality of team care.
The 47 players who anonymously participated in the survey expressed their belief that the team would renovate the locker rooms after the 2022 Season, and felt cheated when that did not happen. However, Hunt said that promise was never made: “I’ve spoken to some of our veterans about it and they confirmed it was a lack of communication. Personally, I never said anything about a wardrobe renovation. “That was a misunderstanding,” Hunt said. The Athletic.
In other words, the Chiefs previously had no intention of renovating their facilities. However, the surveys do not go unnoticed, and the players will soon have a new cafeteria. Hunt said he expects other changes in the area to come, although he declined to share details. Despite this, he did make it clear that the updates would be complete by September. For now, they added air conditioning in the indoor practice facilities.
“We are making some extremely important investments in training facilities this year and we will continue to do so. “We have surpassed those facilities in multiple ways,” added Hunt, who finally acknowledged that he will treat his entire squad better, promising to “include the players in our thinking about the future of the training facilities.”

DeAndre Hopkins on Calvin Ridley: “The sky is the limit”
The Titans made a splash in free agency when they just signed WR Calvin Ridley and HC Brian Callahan commented during the league’s annual meeting this week that he hopes to exploit the talent of his new receiver, although he is not the only star they have. WR DeAndre Hopkins is back for another season in Tennessee, joining Ridley to dynamite an offense led by QB Will Levis. Hopkins noted that the receiver duo will take this offense to new heights.
“My game is not just about being on the outside or being inside,” Hopkins said. “I’ve tried to take pride in that the last few years, concentrating on beating men on the inside. At the beginning of my career I was on the outside and realized I could be successful anywhere on the field. And I think about using myself wherever, blocking, doing whatever. Wherever I can be useful, I will be. The sky is the limit, especially after getting Calvin. “I’m very excited about this offense.”
Last season ended with some doubt about whether or not Levis is the franchise quarterback the Titans are looking for long-term. However, he showed good flashes at times, and incorporating Ridley, and having Hopkins, should serve as an advantage for him to continue developing his playing potential and make Tennessee a competitive team within the American Conference.
