Raiders : Aidan O’Connell a la main
Gardner Minshew (QB) has arrived with the Raiders, but he is not yet the number one. For the first spring practices, it was Aidan O’Connell (QB) who was the first to throw the ball.
“Aidan has earned the right to have the first snaps,” Antonio Pierce told the press. “Just by what he did in the offseason: working on his physique, his work ethic, being there every day and blocking out the outside noise. He doesn’t worry about anything else. I am happy. »
Starting 10 times last season, Aidan O’Connell threw 12 touchdowns for 7 interceptions. He led Las Vegas to 5 wins for 5 losses.
At the same time, Minshew threw 15 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 13 games started for Indianapolis.
In the absence of a quarterback drafted in the first round, the place will be decided between these two men.
Injuries
– Kirk Cousins (QB, Falcons) is almost all the way. Atlanta has practiced lightly in recent days. No shocks and slow motion repetitions. Under these conditions, Raheem Morris explained to the press that Cousins is not really limited. The 35-year-old is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. It remains limited in the volume of work and will surely have to progress further before absorbing shocks.
– Selected in the second round, Johnny Newton (DT, Commanders) will have to be operated on in the coming days. He is injured in his left foot. During a medical check-up, Washington doctors detected a partial fracture. Newton had surgery for the same right foot injury in January.
Transactions
– Zay Jones (WR) rejoint les Cardinals. NFL Media announces he signed for one season and $4.25 million. Jones was cut by the Jaguars in April. Last season, he caught 34 passes for 321 yards and 4 touchdowns. After Marvin Harrison Jr. during the Draft, this makes one more interesting target for Kyler Murray.
– The Chargers announced the signing of Bud Dupree (LB). ESPN specifies that it is a 2-year contract for $6 million. The 31-year-old bounced back with 6.5 sacks for the Falcons last season.
– Jarvis Landry (WR) is without a team after a shutout season in 2023. The former Dolphins and Browns Pro Bowler isn’t afraid to start from scratch. He was one of the players present at the Jaguars rookie minicamp to try to earn a spot on the roster. (ESPN)
The main signatures of the day: Lucas Patrick (OL, Saints), Tommy Sweeney (TE, Bears), Anthony Averett (CB, Steelers), Kaden Davis (WR, Lions)
And bref
– Albert Wilson (WR) announced his retirement on Instagram. The 31-year-old receiver arrived in the NFL in 2014. He spent 4 years in Kansas City then 3 seasons with the Dolphins. In total, he caught 218 passes for 2,499 yards and 12 touchdowns.
– Bill Belichick starting to like cameras. After the Draft, he should appear on all ManningCasts next season. As a reminder, this is a parallel broadcast of the Monday evening game hosted by the Manning brothers. It was also Peyton Manning who announced the recurring presence of Belichick during an intervention on ESPN.
– Former Chargers general manager AJ Smith dies Sunday at the age of 75. His family announced the news. From 2003 to 2012, he notably built the San Diego teams led by Philip Rivers. He suffered from prostate cancer. His son Kyle is the assistant general manager of the Falcons.
Patriots: Drake Maye did not arrive
Training has started in New England, and Jerod Mayo is not yet ready to praise his new quarterback. Asked about Drake Maye’s performance, the coach praised the work.
“He has a lot of work to do. A lot,” assured Mayo. “But I have no doubt that he will take the time he needs. He was here all night trying to be on the same page as everyone. »
On the player side, we are more positive.
“The guy can send,” rejoices Ja’Lynn Polk at the microphone of ESPN. “He is very confident. He is a leader, very vocal. He sets the tone for training. »
