With in le s than a month, let's take a look at six player-to-team Brett Connolly Jersey fits that make plenty of sense:Mark Sanchez to the BillsThe cannot afford to march into September without a veteran to compete with the scattershot QB . The pairing of coach Rex Ryan and Sanchez fizzled out in Florham Park, but bringing the former quarterback to Buffalo feels like a no-brainer. It's depre sing to ponder that Sanchez of free-agent pa sers, but he would serve as an adequate bridge quarterback for a team that (a) sports a nasty defense and (b) promises to ground-and-pound the ball under new play-caller Greg Roman. That formula worked well for Rexy and The Sanchize in back-to-back trips to the AFC title game way back when.Cecil Shorts to the BrownsThe desperately need warm bodies at wideout to fill the void left by . Shorts is a Cleveland native who played his college ball at nearby Mt. Union. The pairing would give the a solid No. 2 wideout who averaged 58 catches for 771 yards per season over the past three Lars Eller Jersey years on a team lacking consistency under center. We expect the to with the No. 12 overall pick in April's draft, but Shorts would hit town as an affordable complementary weapon.Julius Thomas to the RaidersWhile a potentially ma sive deal for wideout , Julius has told the he wants to be among the NFL's at his position. We expect the pa s-catching tight end to draw a legion of suitors, but nobody has more cash to play with than the down-and- T.J. Oshie Jersey out . It would fill an immediate need for Oakland with only and at the position, while giving young quarterback a legitimate target to base the pa sing game around.Byron Maxwell to the FalconsNew coach Dan Quinn was hired to fix a bend-and-break defense that finished dead last in the league. Cornerbacks always do well in free agency, but Maxwell makes the most sense for Atlanta, where he would form a deadly duo with . general manager John Schneider wants Maxwell back, but acknowledged that 's might for Seattle to Alexander Alexeyev Jersey keep around.C.J. Spiller to the JetsThe Spiller-to-Gang Green rumors bubbled up as soon as . That makes sense after the former coach milked 1,703 total yards out of the runner just two seasons ago. The are a solid bet to dump , making room for a tantalizing Spiller and combination come September. Speaking of a potential reunion with Gailey, C.J. went on record last month to say We agree.Jordan Cameron to the SeahawksIt was just four months ago when Seattle tried in exchange for Cameron. The could use a play-making tight end to fortify their skittish pa sing attack. If they don't wind up chasing down in free agency, Cameron -- who isn't expected to re-sign with the -- would give the 'Hawks a fascinating young target just one season removed from a 917-yard outburst. Cameron's concu sion history is concerning, but if he stays healthy, Seattle could land him at a bargain price.The latest John Carlson Jersey Podcast and plays a free agency edition of "Who Do You Trust?"

Tom Brady reached Tajae Sharpe Jersey a significant milestone on Wednesday, turning 45 ahead of the 2022 season keeping alive his long-time goal of playing till his age-45 season.Brady's birthday prompted another quarterback, Aaron Rodgers of the Packers, to consider how long he might play in the NFL. (Read: a reporter asked him whether he sees himself playing until his age-45 season, like his Buccaneers counterpart).Rodgers Adam Humphries Jersey left no room for interpretation in his answer:"No, I dont," he said. "But happy birthday, Tom."Is QB planning to play until age 45? ()"No." Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) MORE: At this point, there's not much left for Rodgers to achieve, barring one or two more Super Bowls. So it makes sense he wouldn't want to compete nearly as long as Brady.At 38 years old, Rodgers is already among the most venerable players in the NFL. He is now the second-oldest quarterback in the league following Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ben Roethlisberger's retirement, and is well within the with the retirement of such players as Andrew Whitworth. Nicholas Petit-frere Jersey (Other players who are older than Rodgers remain as unsigned free agents).Rodgers is one of the game's most accomplished players, earning four NFL MVPs (second-most all time), including back-to-back honors in 2020 and 2021. He also is a 10-time Pro-Bowler and led the Packers to a victory in Super Bowl 45.He also has made it clear he Shane Ray Jersey has interests outside of football, such as his use of and in the Kendell Brooks Jersey offseason. He also signed a three-year extension over the offseason that makes him the in average annual value, at $50.3 million per year.All that to say: Enjoy watching Rodgers while he's still at the top of his game. He has, by his own admi sion, no more than seven years left in the league.

What price victory when the football gods smite 's weapons by the week?Although still undefeated after Monday night's melee with Rex Ryan's swarming defense, the are gradually ceding their Mikal Bridges Jersey aura of invincibility to football's callous march toward attrition.New England's astonishing NFL record of 38 consecutive quarters with a score petered out in the fourth quarter, the inevitable result of an exaggerated manpower shortage.With as the game's , acting as a playmaking safety valve and coming through consistently in the clutch, Brady toyed with opposing defenses for two months.Those days are gone.Lewis went down with a torn ACL in Week 9. Edelman broke a bone in his foot in Week 10. By the end of Week 11, Amendola and No. 3 receiver were watching from the sideline with injuries of their own. Brady was left to battle Ryan's chaos-inducing blitzes with a banged-up offensive line and undrafted rookie receiver .The lo s in efficiency and dynamism is tangible. Defenses have already begun stacking the box versus the run and sending two or three defenders at game-wrecking tight end , stifling a once Devin Booker Jersey mighty attack.The majority of Brady's 19 incompletions versus the were voluntary throwaways due to pre sure or coverage. Easy throws were few and far between.After to sing just one interception in his first seven games, Brady has been picked in each of the past three.Unable to muster a single first down to kill the clock and seal the victory with two minutes remaining, the Ricky Rubio Jersey formerly unstoppable were forced to punt the ball back to for a chance to tie a hard-fought game. They understand they were lucky to escape with a win.The ' dynasty has taught Bill Belichick a valuable le son over the past decade and a half: the first third of the season is a period of experimentation, the middle of the season is about establishing an identity and the final month is the time for a playoff contender to hit its stride as a well-oiled machine."It's great to be playing well now, but when I really want to be playing well is at the end of the year," All-Pro pa s rusher recently told The MMQB's Peter King. "Look at the league. In so many years, the teams are the teams , not now."The ' formula is off kilter Steve Nash Jersey Jalen Lecque Jersey this year, pushing the experimentation phase past . Fortunately, their scorching streak in September and October has bought them plenty of time to prepare for that late December stretch run."We'll have to get creative," Brady said Monday night. "Think of different things."Belichick and Brady will go back to the drawing board to do what they do better than any coach-quarterback combination in modern NFL history: make the requisite adjustments to suit the personnel on hand."At the end of the day, they ," Ryan conceded after the game. "That's what championship teams do."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has no intention of making big changes after having the interim tag removed from his title during an offseason that featured a departure of some of Buffalos top playmakers.For all the subtractions , No. 2 receiver Gabe Davis and starting center Mitch Morse signing with Jacksonville Brady takes comfort in having one major fixture in place: quarterback Josh Allen for the four-time defending AFC East champions.For us to say, Hey, were just going to scrap everything, and, everything was broken, that wasnt the case, Brady said this week, when asked what personal tweaks he has for an offense Tre Jones Jersey that's finished no worse than fifth in the NFL in yards gained each of the past four seasons.Look, he added, pointedly. At the end of the day, this is Josh Allens offense, right?ADVERTISEMENT No question.The challenge for Brady, after Ken Dorsey was fired, becomes building off the second half of last season when he introduced a more balanced and , and carry it into this season in which Buffalo returns just one player at the receiver position Khalil Shakir who has caught a pa s from Allen.Brady had an answer for that, too, when a se sing a retooled receiver group headed by Curtis Samuel and second-round draft pick Keon Coleman, and rounded out by journeymen such as Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Chase Claypool and Mack Hollins."Its not just about one person. No ones bigger than the offense, Brady said. Its about understanding that, hey, in this offense everyone is going to eat.That means trying to make up for Devin Vassell Jersey losing Diggs and Davis, who combined for 152 catches and 1,929 yards, and caught 15 of Allens 29 touchdown pa ses last season.Buffalos transition from Diggs actually began in the closing weeks of last season, when , including the run game. It led to an uptick in production for Shakir, tight end Dalton Kincaid and running back James Cook while, more importantly, translating into Buffalo winning six of its final seven, capped by a season-ending win over Miami to clinch the AFC East.Shakir is on board, entering his third NFL season, and following a season in which he more than doubled his production over the final seven games in finishing with 39 catches for 611 yards and two TDs.When you have a guy like Stef, obviously hes one of the best receivers in the league. So, yeah, lets try Keldon Johnson Jersey and give him the ball," Shakir said. But theres a certain point where I think it all works together if were spreading the ball around. Because then that gets him open or that gets me open, that gets somebody else open.Tight end Dawson Knox appreciated Brady having a collaborative approach with Allen as opposed to forcing an offensive philosophy that might not fit the quarterbacks dual-threat skill set.That level of communication that those two guys have is everything, Knox said. If Josh doesnt like something, we shouldnt run it. But the things that Josh really likes, it should be honed in on, practiced a little extra.Similar to some of his players, Brady is getting a second chance. He failed to make it through his second year as Carolina's offensive coordinator after being fired 12 games into the Panthers 2021 season. to serve as the Bills quarterbacks coach, before replacing Dorsey.The 34-year-old Brady called the experience of getting fired in Carolina a valuable le son in making him better prepared. Among his takeaways were Fabricio Oberto Jersey building relationships and placing more trust in his players, and realizing he doesnt have to overthink his role as a play-caller.I dont think youre trying to out-genius (an opponent). I got let go from my last job for trying to think like that, Brady said in December in which Cooks 179 yards rushing were the most by a Bills player since Fred Jackson had 212 in 2010.Cooks accomplishments aside, Brady then turned his attention to Allen, by saying the quarterback makes his job easier a point hes not forgotten this year.Theres certain things that Josh Allen Davis Bertans Jersey has been doing for years here, and the last thing I want is for him to have to think out there and make some calls, he said this week.If there are things that I feel from a learning standpoint that would be easier for the guys to learn, well look at that, Brady said, before referring to Allen by his No. 17. Other than that, if its something that is going to slow 17 down, not changing.___AP NFL:
