A juicy contract for L’Jarius Sneed
We knew he was going to sign a big contract. But not exactly how much he was going to get. It’s now official: L’Jarius Sneed (CB, Titans) commits for 4 years and 76.4 million dollars with his new team. The two-time Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs is even entitled to 55 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of 20 million dollars. This makes him one of the highest paid players in the league at his position.
Cordarrelle Patterson signs with Steelers
NFL Media announces Steelers have signed Cordarrelle Patterson (KR/RB) for 2 years and 6 million dollars. A four-time All-Pro, he holds the NFL record for the number of touchdowns scored on a kick return with nine units. A signing that makes sense after a change in the rules on starting kicks.
Above all, in Pittsburgh, Cordarrelle Patterson will find Arthur Smith, the former coach of the Falcons, who became offensive coordinator of the Steelers.
Dak Prescott and Dallas, is it almost over?
Despite the possibility for Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys) to claim a new contract, Dallas does not intend to make an offer to its holder, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. There is still one year left on Prescott’s contract before he becomes a free agent. Enough to continue to fuel rumors of a change of quarterback for the Cowboys from next season. Asked about the subject, owner Jerry Jones remains evasive for the moment:
“We are where we are. Focused and ready for this year,” he told NFL Network.
The Texans officially have a new owner
Since Bob McNair’s death in 2018, the Texans were officially owned by his wife, Janice. The team remains in the family but it changes hands. On Tuesday, the other owners approved passing the title of primary owner to Cal McNair, the son.
Not a revolution, since Cal McNair had the title of CEO and managed the day-to-day business.
Brazil: the Browns… or the Packers?
The suspense is rekindled over the name of the Eagles’ opponent in Brazil for the first week of the 2024 regular season. While a Browns player had announced that his team was flying to South America, Mark Murphy, president of the Packers, reshuffled the cards.
Murphy announced to the press that the decision has not yet been made, and that it is between two teams: the Browns, but also his Packers. Roger Goodell told reporters the decision should be made next week.
Injuries
– Hard blow for the Saints. According to head coach Dennis Allen, right tackle Ryan Ramczyk is taking time to recover from his knee injury, contrary to what the team had anticipated. So much so that the New Orleans franchise fears having to start next season without him.
– Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture during the Rams’ playoff defeat against the Lions, Tyler Higbee (TE, Rams) will be placed on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list before the start of training camps. The information was confirmed by Sean McVay (HC) who does not know when his player will return to the field.
– JK Dobbins (RB) is up and running. According to NFL Media, the runner received the green light from doctors to play football normally again. He tore his Achilles tendon in the Ravens’ first game last season. Now free from any contract, the 25-year-old player will have to find a team to get back on track.

And bref
– The end date for transfers has just been postponed. Since 2012, the transfer period ended on the Tuesday after the eighth week of the season. From now on, it will always be Tuesday but after the ninth week.
– In addition to approving a rule change to review on video if the clock has expired before a snap, the NFL will also allow from 2024 to review decisions when a quarterback is down or goes out of bounds.
– This Tuesday, 29 of the 32 NFL franchise owners voted a new rule for commitments. Among the three executives to have spoken out against it were Jed York (49ers) and Mark Murphy (Packers). For them, this rule change is too brutal, with no possibility of going back.
– The Vikings may have lost Kirk Cousins (QB, Falcons) because they were less aggressive financially. Mark Wilf, the owner of the Minnesota franchise, revealed that his team offered a contract whose first two years were not fully guaranteed. Basically: one year, then another optional for the team. Except that Atlanta offered 90 million guaranteed over 5 years. (ESPN)
– Recently retired, the hero of Super Bowl 49, Malcom Butler, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He was in Rhode Island at the time of the incident. According to the police report, consulted by TMZ, a strong odor of alcohol emanated from his breath and his speech was extremely difficult. The former cornerback who intercepted Russell Wilson during the Super Bowl to seal the fate of the game also had bloodshot eyes, it was said.
– Jim Harbaugh revealed to MLive.com that he lived in a camper van since signing with the Chargers in January. “ I’m just myself. I always wanted to do this. It’s awesome. I’m 30 yards from Greg Roman (the offensive coordinator), who has a great, great, RV“, explained the coach. An adventure that will be linked to the past, since Harbaugh explained that his family will join him in California and that they will move into a rental house.
Bears president wants to build indoor stadium
Earlier this month, the Chicago franchise announced the launch of the project for a new stadium, in which the Bears will participate to the tune of $2 billion. While they initially considered locations outside of Chicago, the franchise website reports that president Kevin Warren is now focused on building indoor stadiums, downtown and on Lake Michigan. A fixed roof would then make it possible to host the Super Bowl in February when temperatures are freezing in the Windy City.
Robert Kraft wants a talented young quarterback
Robert Kraft does not intend to decide the Patriots’ draft choices in place of his general manager or his new coach, Jerod Mayo. But if he had to express one wish, it would be to get a new quarterback.
“I let the team make the decision that they think is best. But one way or another, I would like to see us get back one of the best young quarterbacks, ”he explained to the Boston Globe.
With the departure of Mac Jones, it seems a priority for the Patriots to find a new playmaker.
