Buccaneers Bruce Arians says Antonio Bro

A day after , reported for his first day with his new team. Brown, whose eight-game suspension is set to expire after this week, is expected to make his season debut against the in Week 9.The 32-year-old Brown, who is allowed to attend meetings while working out with the team's strength and conditioning coaches, has made a quick impact on Bruce Arians, Brown's offensive coordinator during his first two seasons. "He looks fantastic. I think we had really good conversations today, he and I," Arians said of Brown, . "He was in the meetings and everything. And he's working with Anthony Piroli and the strength staff. He looks in great shape. Yeah, ready to go next week."Brown resumes his career after a tumultuous 18 Eric Bledsoe Jersey months that included ugly exits from Pittsburgh and Oakland. Over the past few months, however, Brown had remained mostly silent since the NFL suspended him for violating the league's personal conduct policy on July 31. And after receiving interest from several teams (including the ), the Buccaneers were ultimately the team that decided to give Brown another opportunity. "I think he's matured," Arians said of Brown following Sunday's 45-20 win over the , . "I believe in second chances. Everybody wants to say Tom picked him. Tom didn't have anything to do with it."Brown will be reunited in Tampa Bay with , his quarterback during his brief stay in New England."He's a tremendous football player," Brady said of Brown, a fellow member of the NFL's All-Decade Zion Williamson Jersey Team for the 2010s. "I played with him for a brief period of time. I'm looking forward to working with him again. He's a very hard-working guy." Brown is set to join a Buccaneers offense that has scored 83 points over the past two games. Through seven games, Brady has thrown 18 touchdowns against just four interceptions. In this past Sunday's win over the Raiders, Tampa Bay ama sed 454 total yards and 29 first downs while going 7 of 12 on third down and 5 of 6 in the red zone. Along with a talented receiving corps, Tampa Bay's offense also includes tight end (who caught five pa ses for 62 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders) and running backs and , who last Sunday combined to rush for 84 yards and a touchdown.Tampa Bay receivers and , who combined to catch 15 pa ses for 197 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders, were Elfrid Payton Jersey also asked about the addition of Brown, the NFL's leader in receptions, yards and touchdowns from 2013-18."It's a really unselfish group," . "We're looking forward to adding another really good piece." "I'm excited," , who said the Buccaneers' receiving corps -- a group that also includes three-time Pro Bowl receiver -- can be scary. "The end goal is to win, every single week."A sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft, Brown was the NFL's most prolific receiver from 2013-18. During that span, Brown became the first player in league history to catch at least 100 pa ses for six consecutive seasons. HIs best season took place in 2015 when, despite not having for four games, he set career highs with 136 receptions for 1 Solomon Hill Jersey ,834 yards and 10 touchdowns.In 2017, Brown was gaining MVP momentum before a lower body injury held him out of Pittsburgh's final two games of the regular season. Brown, despite not being 100% healthy, returned for the ' divisional round playoff game against the , where he managed to catch seven pa ses for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Pittsburgh's 45-42 lo s. For all of his individual succe s, Brown has never hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. The closest he's come to winning football's ultimate prize came as a rookie, when Brown's Steelers fell to the in XLV. Brown will now get another chance to win that elusive championship with a quarterback that already Brandon Ingram Jersey has several Lombardis in his trophy case."He wants to play," Arians said of Brown on Wednesday. "If you want to play, you've got to do it. In our conversation today, it's, 'Go to football practice, go to work, come home and go back to work.' He's all-in. I don't think we'll have any problems with those things."

Austin Ekeler agrees to four-year deal w

The and running back have agreed on a four-year contract that will keep him with the team through the 2023 season, according to . The deal is worth $24.5 million and includes $15 million in guarantees, per Schefter.Ekeler, 24, was slated to become a restricted free agent later this offseason."The Shawn Kemp Jersey Chargers were the first team to believe in me as an undrafted free agent out of Western State Colorado ," Ekeler told following the news of this deal. "To be able to ensure my long term future Matt Mooney Jersey with this team is a dream come true and my ultimate goal is to bring a championship here to this franchise."Ekeler first arrived with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017. After a modest rookie campaign, the 5-foot-10, 200-pounder saw an increased role in the L.A. backfield during his sophomore season in 2018, particularly as a pa Kevin Porter Jr. Jersey s catcher.His role grew exponentially this past season as held out for the first four weeks of the regular season while seeking a new contract (which he did not get). In that time, Ekeler proved to be a capable feature back for the Chargers and enjoyed a career year. He finished with 1,550 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns. A large majority of those totals came via the receiving game as he caught 92 of his 108 targets (85.2 catch percentage) for 993 yards Alfonzo McKinnie Jersey and eight scores. The news of this deal comes on the heels of a report Thursday that saidGordon when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in a few weeks. Given that Los Angeles has already locked up Ekeler, it appears Gordon's days as Marques Bolden Jersey a Charger are numbered, as it wouldn't make much sense for the club to shell out big dough for two running backs.

Ben Roethlisberger says his main goal is

As a young player, stated that his career goal was Marquese Chriss Jersey to at least match Terry Bradshaw's tally of four victories as the ' starting quarterback. And while he has been stuck on two Super Bowl wins for a dozen years, Big Ben has not compromised the lofty goal he set for himself many years ago. Roethlisberger, on Tuesday, explained his primary motivation for wanting to resume his career after undergoing elbow surgery last September. While the desire to go out on his own terms was part of the reason, the hunger to pursue more championships was the biggest factor in Big Ben deciding to come back for his 17th season."I think any athlete, any competitor, will tell you they want to go out on their own terms," said Roethlisberger, who is under contract through the 2021 season. "And it doesn't happen all the time. We don't always get that lucky I think if I had felt that I was closer to the end, it might have been a decision for me to think longer about coming back or not. But I didn't feel that I was close to that. I'm not saying that I have 10 years left in me, but I definitely feel that I have some really good years left in me. That was definitely a motivating factor; coming back and showing that I still have it in the tank. I still have a lot to give this team. I still have a lot to give the fans. And I still want to win Lombardis, and I say that with a plural on the end."Roethlisberger's impre sive offseason supports his goals. Along with his rehab from surgery, Roethlisberger has maintained a rugged workout Kevin Love Jersey regiment that he says has put him at his lightest weight in over a decade. He also has been throwing more this offseason than he typically does, which is why he said he was not surprised when his arm felt good a day after throwing a slew of pa ses during the team's first training camp practice. And while he knows that he can't run around as he did in his early 20s, Big Ben agrees with general manager Kevin Colbert's previous comments about Roethlisberger po sibly being a better version of himself following surgery."I do think that I can be better than I've been in the past," said Roethlisberger, who also said that observing the action on the sideline last season should also pay dividends moving forward. "Not dealing with a nagging elbow is definitely something. To feel healthy, to feel more in shape, things like that help . Obviously, you can't turn back Father Time and feel like I'm 21 and run all over the field, but I think you can go on the field, even at an older age, and still feel really good, and I feel that way right now." Along with the Matthew Dellavedova Jersey work he's put in, Roethlisberger is encouraged by the Steelers' offseason additions of receivers coach Ike Hilliard and quarterbacks coach Matt Canada. Big Ben said the new coaches will be able to help communicate more ideas that offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner can integrate into the offense. In terms of personnel, Roethlisberger said that the addition of former Pro Bowl tight end can make the Steelers' offense more versatile, specifically when Pittsburgh has Ebron and fellow tight end on the field at the same time."I think having both those guys, as playmakers on the field at the same time, can create some matchup problems for the defense," Roethlisberger said. "You kind of can dictate what the defense does or gives you in terms of personnel. If they want to match up, then you can throw the ball. If they want to put in smaller personnel to stop the pa s, then you can run the ball."Having two kind of dynamic weapons like that can still give you a lot in the run game. I think people sometimes get this perception that, 'OK, you've got two skilled receivers, you're going to use them just to pa s.' I know Vance very well, and spending time with Eric the last few months, they don't want to be lumped into the bubble of just being receiving tight ends. They want to do whatever it takes; to block, to put their nose in the pile and things like that. That's encouraging I think we can utilize those guys on multiple fronts in terms of helping this offense." While the Steelers are typically a trendy pick to win the AFC North while po sibly representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, they Cleveland Cavaliers Hoodie currently have just the seventh-best odds at coming out of the AFC this season, according to William Hill Sports Book. The , the defending Super Bowl champions, have the best odds at making it back to the Super Bowl, while the , the Steelers' longtime AFC North rival, have the second-best odds at representing the AFC in Super Bowl LV. When asked about trying to keep pace with both teams, Roethlisberger said that the goal is to do "whatever it takes" to win, even if that means handing the ball off 50 times an outing.Along with having a 38-year-old quarterback coming back from a serious injury, consecutive non-playoff seasons are likely the main reason why the Steelers are not a trendy Super Bowl pick. The Steelers also still have questions at the skill positions, with and coming off injury-marred 2019 campaigns. That being said, the fact that the Steelers managed to win eight games without Roethlisberger last season, should give Pittsburgh fans optimism entering 2020.The emergence of Pittsburgh's defense last season after acquiring was certainly not lost on Roethlisberger, who won two Super Bowls earlier in his career with the support of dominant defensive units. The Steelers also gave Big Ben more offensive weapons this offseason, signing Ebron while also spending a second-round pick on former Notre Dame receiver . They also signed veteran offensive lineman , a starter on Philadelphia and Kansas City's Super Bowl-winning teams. The also drafted lineman and running back Jr. to give them some added depth. As it relates to being an underdog, Big Ben has no i sues with that. He is the first starting quarterback, after all, to win the Super Bowl as a No. 6 seed. As long as he gets one ring closer to Bradshaw, that's all that matters to him. "I Larry Nance Jersey think being an underdog it's fun," Roethlisberger said. "I know a lot of guys like being on top, being hunted. But sometimes it's fun to be the underdog, and to be overlooked. We do have a great defense, and that was one of the big reasons why I was excited to come back, to play with a group like that; they let you be more free as a quarterback. Obviously, my linemen and all the skill guys we have. It's OK, we can be overlooked. It's the offseason. No one knows what this season is going to hold or entail. We're going to go out there and give it every we can to try to win the football game."

Cam Newton to Patriots Norv Turner told

If there's any coach who last saw the greatne s of , it's Norv Turner. Newton last had a great stretch of football in the first eight games of the 2018 season -- which Derrick Rose Jersey was also the first eight games Turner, then the ' offensive coordinator, coached him.Turner saw a resurgence under Newton that the quarterback hadn't shown since his MVP season in 2015. And it turns out that in getting head coach Bill Belichick to sign Newton and bring him to the best franchise since the turn of the millennium."My whole deal is, when Cam was healthy, and we were there with him (in 2018), we were 6-2," Turner Cristiano Felicio Jersey said to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. "Just look at the tape -- played his a s off. His i sue was more health than anything else, and from what I understand, I don't think these are health i sues that he can't overcome. He's had the time off now. I think he'll be great."Newton was playing near a MVP level in the first eight games of that 2018 season, completing 67.3% of his pa ses for 1,893 yards and 15 touchdowns to just four interceptions (100.8 pa ser rating). He also rushed for 342 yards on 73 carries (4.7 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. Newton injured his shoulder on a hit by T.J. Watt in a Week 10 lo s to the , and injuries defined Newton's next two years in the league. Newton's overall play has declined since his MVP season. Over the past four seasons, Newton has posted career lows in completion percentage (52.9% Coby White Jersey , 2016), yards per attempt (6.7, 2017), yards per game (206.4, 2017), rushing yards (359, 2016), yards per carry (4.0, 2016), and rushing touchdowns (four, 2018).Newton had been relatively durable throughout his career prior to the shoulder injury, but health will remain the i sue for the former MVP until he can survive a 16-game season again. Time will tell if Newton keeps a clean bill of health, but it's worth the gamble for Belichick -- for a while."When you're talking about mobile quarterbacks, guys that are tough to handle, tackle, can throw, run, make good decisions -- I mean, Otto Porter Jr. Jersey I would put Newton at the top the list," Belichick said prior to a game against the Panthers back in 2017, per Mike Rei s of ESPN. "Not saying that there aren't a lot of other good players that do that, but I would say, of all the guys we play or have played recently in the last couple of years, he's the hardest guy to deal with. "He makes good decisions, he can run, he's strong, he's hard to tackle. He can do a lot of different things, beat you in a lot of different ways. We saw that in the game Scottie Pippen Jersey down there in '13, so I would put him at the top of the list. Not saying the other guys aren't a problem, because they are, but he's public enemy No. 1."

Falcons release record-setting return ma

The Falcons have released 33-year-old Devin Hester. Originally selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2006 (as a defensive back!), Hester has 255 career receptions though he's Wendell Carter Jr. Jersey best known as one of the 's dangerous return men. He holds the record for total career touchdown returns (20 -- 14 punt returns, 5 kickoff returns, 1 mi sed field goal return), and in 2006 and 2007 he combined for 11 touchdown returns (7 punt returns, 4 kickoff returns).But Hester, who signed with the Falcons before the 2014 season, was recovering from offseason toe Luke Kornet Jersey surgery and admitted that he wouldn't be surprised if the team let him go."At the end of the day, I feel like it's going to come down to how my toe feels," Hester said told in May. "If my toe isn't ready, then I can't fault them for letting me go because it's Chicago Bulls Jeresy a busine s. I can't go around thinking I'm safe if I'm not playing. I do understand that."But according to the Falcons, Hester's toe wasn't a deciding factor."We made a move today with Devin Hester, releasing Devin, and we appreciate all of Devin's contributions over the last couple years. A fine individual," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff . "He pa sed his physical Denzel Valentine Jersey , and it was a football decision for us in the very end. Obviously there are busine s moves when we make a move like we did with Devin, but that wasn't what was directing our other potential acquisitions, not at all." Hester was signed through the 2016 season and was set to make $3.8 million in the final year of his deal, according to . The Falcons save $3 million in salary-cap space Adam Mokoka Jersey by releasing him.

Panthers look even better than last year

BALTIMORE -- As Fred VanVleet Jersey far as preseason debuts go, for teams facing the dreaded Super-Bowl losing hangover, the acquitted themselves quite well. NFL preseason On the one po se sion in which the starting offense played, it moved the ball with relative ease -- on the ground and through the air -- receiver made a nice return from season-long injury and , whom we last saw pouting in a losing pre s conference, was so hyped for this meaningle s contest with the Ravens that he negated a Panthers interception for a score by hopping on the field too early to celebrate. On what was largely a night for the various characters hoping to cling to the back-end of Carolina's roster to show their stuff, it would be easy to overlook what the core of the team did, but Newton and Co. were in fine form yet again on a sticky night at M&T Bank Stadium. Playing largely base, vanilla looks -- devoid of the run and pa s action that makes this offense, and the reigning MVP so potent -- Carolina moved 68 yards on 14 plays and Newton converted his first five attempts and probably should have landed the sixth as well, with beating Baltimore's top corner, , in the back of the end zone but wasn't in sync with the quarterback. Even despite settling for three points there, it was an indicator that this group will be once again formidable in 2016 -- Carolina is one of the few truly balanced outfits in this league and doesn't just beat you with defense anymore -- and Newton is someone not even yet entering his prime. His upside is immeasurable. "I was very pleased with what the first unit did coming out with their rhythm," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "We put ourselves in a good position getting down to the red zone with a chance to score." What this game will most be remembered for by the Panthers (OK, what it will only be remembered for), was the return of Benjamin. The hulking target formed an instant bond with Newton during his rookie season in 2014, then never took the field a year ago due to injury. Benjamin was used sparingly on the drive but did make one reception - Danny Green Jersey - using his size to box out on an a short out route -- that gave you just the briefest of glimpses into how he could help propel this attack. He has the downfield, big-play ability to further unlock this offense, taking pre sure off tight end , opening up more space for him, and letting Newton and his big arm benefit even more from the confusion he can cause at the line of scrimmage. The Panthers won't win 15 games this season, again, but they'll be a better team I suspect and Newton's i sues will only further fuel him. He's a natural born winner and he works his tail off and it won't be all that long before the Panthers are challenging for a Lombardi Trophy again. I expect them not to lack motivation, and Newton almost never lacks for enthusiasm. Even on a 102-degree night in Baltimore with Panthers' reserve linebackers and defensive backs returning a meaningle s interception for a score (called back after Newton's premature on-field celebration). "I got too excited and the officials called me on it," Newton said. "I was hoping I would get away with just a warning, but we will learn from that and we won't make that kind of mistake again." Rivera on Newton's penalty: "It's a good le son learned. Like I said, if we're going to do it, do it now, so we can be done with it. We had the referees in training camp and explained all the new rules to everybody."Notes from the Panthers-Ravens preseason game Baltimore is focused on improving its secondary play, and, to the end, had all four starters on the field early on a night when the overwhelming majority of its starters didn't even dre s. They need to see , , Smith and communicating and interacting as much as po sible, and overall the defensive backs were so-so at Dewan Hernandez Jersey best against Carolina's better players. Newton carved them up and had his way with them as well at times. This will continue to be a point of emphasis for the staff.Panthers have virtually no hope of getting a long-term deal done with star defensive tackle . Talks with him went nowhere, the sides never got anywhere and the negotiation is e sentially dead at this point. After the bizarre turn of events with this spring -- their franchise player who was released off the tag -- this negotiation will be watched closely within that locker room and around the league. Short is in the final year of his rookie deal and as a second-round pick there is no fifth-year option in play. With the price of defensive tackles soaring lately, another big year from him will only raise his price.Liked what I saw from Panthers second-year receiver . He used his body and physicality expertly on a 10-yard touchdown catch from Anderson (who threw a beauty of a pa s). Anderson is definitely one of the elite backup quarterbacks in the league -- yeah, I said it -- and Funche s opposite of Benjamin could be a big problem for opposing defenses on the outside. "You're seeing the progre s," Rivera said of Funche s. "You're seeing what he's going to add to the offense. We saw that at the end of the year last year Terence Davis Jr. Jersey . Everybody was waiting for him and then in midseason he kind of came into his own and made some things happen. By the end of the season, he got better and stronger and that's what he's doing right now, getting stronger, learning the plays."Ravens loved the burst they saw from rookie running back on a night when returning starter did not dre s. Dixon had powerful runs as soon as he entered the game and veteran continued his strong camp with some nice, one-cut downhill runs as well (he really fits that part of this scheme well). West showed power going up in the early inside for an early score and good wheels getting to the sidelines for a second-half touchdown. Buck Allen got into the act as well in the second quarter. This team may be in position to trade a depth running back rather than cut someone. It's an intriguing mix there, especially if Forsett is able to return to form following injury. "Our backs were dynamic," coach John Harbaugh said. "We have Terrance West in here, he was dynamic. Made some runs -- he made a really good run early and made three or four guys mi s and created some yards on his own. Really, all of the backs that played, played well." did not dre s but he was moving very well before the game, and doing so even without his knee brace on after his season-ending knee surgery. He is having an excellent camp and is eager to get in at some point this month. "I think I'll be out there in the third game, but I'm not playing the first two," he told me before the game. is nearing closer to a return from the PUP list as well.The Ravens put Michael Phelps -- a native of Towson, just over the Baltimore City line and a ma sive Ravens fan -- up on the scoreboard here Thursday when he was going Charles Oakley Jersey for his 22nd gold medal during a stoppage in play.

Multiple teams reportedly believe Adrian

The Adrien Peterson-Saints marriage has gotten off to a rocky start. , with Peterson prepared to pair up with another future Hall of Famer in to give the offense some real balance.Four weeks Kyle Lowry Jersey in, than he has for anything he's done on the field. AP has carried the ball just 27 times for 81 yards, a paltry total for a guy who once led the league in rushing the year after tearing his ACL in December and later led the league in rushing at the age of 30.So it makes sense that Peterson could be available when the October trade deadline rolls around. And according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, multiple teams believe that is exactly the case."With Sean Payton preferring a two-back system Charles Oakley Jersey in New Orleans, there are teams around the league that believe could be available before the Halloween trade deadline," Schefter reported.It's tough to really pinpoint teams who would be interested Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Jersey in trading for Peterson. When you look at the worst rushing teams in the league, there aren't many below the Saints (94 yards a game, 22nd in the ). The lost and are dead last in rushing yards per game, but that could be a function of the offensive line more than anything; Arizona actually pa sed on Peterson in the 2007 and might be an interesting fit to take pre sure off . The could make sense because their backfield is a me s -- New York is leaning on and this week as has struggled. Again, though, this could simply be a byproduct of the offensive line not being great. Adding Peterson in a trade wouldn't nece sarily fix that.The and both have been bad in the running game but both have established feature backs in and Aron Baynes Jersey , respectively. The are banged up and have a pair of rookies they'll lean DeMar DeRozan Jersey on in and .There just aren't a lot of fits out there for AP. He wanted to land somewhere and remain as a feature back, and there are not a ton of teams that simply want to hand Peterson the ball 25 times a game. Which means that it might be more likely to see Peterson released by the Saints than actually traded.

Sam Bradford ruled out for Week 4 vs. Li

For the third straight week, the aren't going to have quarterback under center when they take the field.Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has Bradford (knee) won't play on Sunday against the . Bradford hasn't played since Week 1, and there's still no Luka Doncic Jersey clear indication on when he might return.With Bradford out, the Vikings will turn to for the third straight game.

With Jackson's of getting a deal done before Week 1 of the regular season looming, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh didn't have any new updates that a deal was close."There's nothing that I'm aware of; it's been football, football, football for players and coaches," Harbaugh said Monday. "That's kind of where we're at.
