Colts All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson has cemented himself as one of the best players at his position since he entered the NFL but was looking at a potential shift to left tackle after starter Anthony Castonzo retired in January.
Broncos QB competition between Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater going to be a 50-50 proposition By Zac Wassink | Last updated 5/14/21
The Denver Broncos acquired veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from the Carolina Panthers shortly before this year s NFL Draft to push 2019 draft selection Drew Lock and, potentially, to win the upcoming summer competition between the two if Lock shows minimal or no improvement from last season.
Head coach Vic Fangio spoke with reporters on Friday and suggested both men will have equal opportunities to win QB1 honors. Maybe I’ll flip a coin to see who takes the absolute first snap of the offseason and training camp, Fangio said, per Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. But by the end of the day, meaning the end of training camp before those guys make the decision for us with their play, it’s going to be a 50-50 proposition. Some days, a guy might get more than the other. It’ll even out the next day, or two days
Saints Sean Payton hints he will start only Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston By Zac Wassink | Last updated 5/6/21
The retirement of New Orleans Saints starting quarterback and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees, which apparently had been coming since even before the beginning of the 2020 NFL season, left head coach Sean Payton with Taysom Hill and former first-overall draft pick Jameis Winston competing for the open QB1 spot during upcoming summer training camp sessions and preseason games.
Some have wondered if Payton could split time between the two during the season, in part so that Hill could remain the offense s Swiss Army Knife option with Winston either on or off the field, depending on the situation. As Pro Football Talk s Myles Simmons noted, though, Payton seemed to squash that idea during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
Aaron Rodgers: Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders
The Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders have been rumored as the top two destinations for Rodgers from multiple sources.
Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk relayed information from a source that said two likely destinations would appear to be the Broncos or Raiders. There are several key factors, Simmons added. A native of California, Rodgers would prefer to play on the West Coast. In trading him, the Packers would want to send him out of the NFC which would likely eliminate the 49ers as a potential match. And because Green Bay selected Jordan Love in the first round last year, the club would not need a quarterback in return.
