Thank you Giants organization for not resigning James Bradberry. I always enjoyed his work with the Giants he's still me a Pro Bowl Caliber player and he should thrive and make us a even more dangerous team on the Defensive side of the ball. Slay and Bradberry

 

[Cwalker]

Unfortunately they couldn’t afford to keep him and sign all their draft picks. Bradberry wasn’t going to take a pay cut, which I completely understand

Don't forget he was a Panther first. DG loves him some former Panthers. DG actually drafted him so I know that hurt him.

A.J. Brown Releases Statement on Fans Threatening His 'Peace' After Canceling Camp​

Bleacher Report

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was scheduled to hold a football camp at Nashville's Montgomery Bell Academy on June 18 for boys and girls in first through eighth grade, though his appearance was cancelled in late April.

Brown tweeted on Friday that he pulled out because Tennessee Titans fans have steadily disrespected him on social media following his trade to Philly, and he doesn't want it to continue in person or to be put in a position where his "peace could be threatened":



In March, the camp's website said that "Brown and our coaches will offer tips and hands-on instruction, including lectures, fundamental football skills stations, contests, and non-contact games in a high-energy, fun, and positive environment with cleanliness and sanitation measures in place," (h/t Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire).

The website has since been taken down.

It's unclear if Brown's scheduled camp has been outright canned or if a replacement player, potentially Derrick Henry, will host a revised event.



In a since-deleted tweet on May 10, Brown wrote: "Before you all get in your feelings, my team is trying to get your very own Derrick [Henry] to run the camp. I didn't cancel the camp, I just got someone that you all want to see. Take care."

Brown, meanwhile, is scheduled to hold a different camp in Starkville, Mississippi on June 11:



During the 2022 NFL draft, Brown was traded to the Eagles for the Nos. 18 and 101 picks. The star wideout and the Eagles promptly agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension, with $57 million guaranteed.

Brown, 24, has caught 185 passes for 2,995 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first three NFL seasons, emerging as one of the top young receivers in the game.

It upsets me as a Titans fan that we got butthurt fans that's not over AJ Brown being traded.

The Titans got Burks, be happy.

Source: Washington Commanders spend $100 million on land in Virginia for possible stadium​

ESPN

ASHBURN, Va., -- The Washington Commanders paid more than $100 million for land in Virginia, a possible next step in building a new stadium, as well as numerous retail shops, restaurants and apartments.

According to a source with knowledge of the purchase, the Commanders paid a little more than $100 million for approximately 200 acres. The deal was completed late last week, but has not yet been filed with Prince William County, the site of the land. One source called it the team's preferred site for a new stadium, but other options remain open.

There's a chance the franchise will buy another 65 to 70 acres at a site that is approximately 23 miles from Washington, D.C., and would be right off an exit on I-95 in Woodbridge, Virginia. It would be approximately 80 miles from Richmond.

The Commanders like this site because of how it can be developed. According to a source, their plans include a 60,000-seat domed stadium -- so it can be used throughout the year -- as well as: the team's practice facility; an amphitheater that seats between 15,000 and 20,000; a small indoor music arena; high-end retail shops; bars and restaurants and residential living. The roof would be translucent and the stadium's facade could change colors -- it would be white during the day and, for example, burgundy at night.

Washington wants to leave FedEx Field, which was built by former owner Jack Kent Cooke and opened in 1997. The team owns the stadium as well as the surrounding property, but their contract to play at this site expires in 2026. They can renew it and stay on longer, if needed.

Before they agree to a site, the team needs to find out how much money the state and Prince William County are willing to commit before finalizing plans to build.

That's why they're keeping options open in Maryland and the District of Columbia as well as other sites in Virginia. Maryland said it would spend $400 million to develop the area around FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. The team would then build a domed stadium by their current home. Washington is still looking at land in Loudoun County, near their current practice facility.

The team would like to return to the District of Columbia at the RFK Stadium site, their home from 1961-96. But, because it's on federal land, numerous governmental hurdles currently make that a longshot.

Virginia's legislature continues to discuss creating a Stadium Authority that would authorize money to help pay for a new Commanders stadium. Under one proposal, the Commanders would receive $350 million from Virginia.

It's uncertain how much money the Commanders would spend on their own to build a stadium.

The purchase comes amid ongoing investigations into Commanders owner Dan Snyder. Both Congress and the NFL continue to examine allegations of sexual misconduct, which Snyder has strongly denied. They also responded to allegations of financial improprieties with a 105-page letter sent to the Federal Trade Commission, with emails and signed affidavits that they say proves their innocence. The attorney generals' offices in Virginia and the District of Columbia said they will investigate the financial claims.

QB Nick Foles signs with Indianapolis Colts, reunites with Frank Reich​

ESPN

Quarterback Nick Foles signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, reuniting him with coach Frank Reich, who was his offensive coordinator with the Eagles in 2017 when he led Philadelphia to a Super Bowl title.

The team did not disclose terms, but a source told ESPN that Foles received a two-year contract, confirming a report by NFL Network.

The Colts released quarterback James Morgan in a corresponding move.

The Eagles showed interest in a potential reunion with Foles before he agreed to the deal with the Colts, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. As the Eagles received trade interest on Gardner Minshew, they discussed Foles but ultimately decided they would stick with their current quarterback room, which includes Minshew and undrafted free agent Carson Strong behind starter Jalen Hurts, the source said.

In Indianapolis, Foles will back up starter Matt Ryan, whom the Colts acquired in a trade from the Atlanta Falcons this offseason.

Other quarterbacks on the Colts' depth chart include Sam Ehlinger, who was selected by Indianapolis in the sixth round of the 2021 draft and Jack Coan, who signed with the this offseason as an undrafted free agent.

The Bears released Foles on May 1 in a move that was expected after Chicago signed quarterback Trevor Siemian in free agency to back up Justin Fields.

The Bears originally acquired Foles two seasons ago in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fourth-round draft pick. The Jaguars signed Foles to a four-year, $88 million contract in 2019, but the quarterback suffered a broken collarbone in the season opener and never regained the starting job from then-rookie Minshew.

After starting seven games in 2020, the Super Bowl LII MVP logged only one start last season, leading the Bears to a 25-24 road victory over the Seattle Seahawks in which he threw for 250 yards and a touchdown pass.

A veteran of 10 seasons, Foles has thrown for 14,003 yards with 82 touchdowns and 43 interceptions.

He earned a Pro Bowl selection with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013 but had his most notable season in 2017, under Reich, when he was called upon to replace an injured Carson Wentz in Week 15. Later that season, he led the franchise to its first Super Bowl championship, completing 72.6% of his passes in the 2017 postseason for 971 yards, with six touchdowns and just one interception in three games.

I say he's a good backup signing in case something happens to Matt Ryan.

Great news for Foles.
