WR Sterling Shepard says Giants offense has potential for a lot of big plays
Kaepernicks Agent fires back at Warren Sapps comments of Kaepernicks disaster workout with the Las Vegas Raiders: “I guess Warren didn’t talk to the General Manager or the head coach,” Nalley told ProFootballTalk. “I spoke to the G.M. [Dave Zieger] several times and he said they all thought Kap was in great shape and threw the ball really well and encouraged any team to call him about the workout and he would tell them the same. I’m surprised Warren would say that, because it’s not true and you would think he would want Kap on a team.”
Baker Mayfield is open to reconcile with the Browns if Watson cannot play the full year. Baker states its up to the Browns to make a move.
Ex Patriots players criticize Jimmy Garoppolo
Retired tight end Martellus Bennett took a huge shot at Jimmy Garoppolo in an appearance on the Double Coverage With The McCourty Twins podcast. Reflecting on the two defeat the Patriots suffered in the 2016 season, Bennett blamed Garoppolo for the Week 4 loss to the Bills.
"He decided not to play right before the game," Bennett said. "Jacoby (Brissett) came out and played with a f----- up thumb and played his heart out, but Jimmy was just being a b---- about it all ... you can't win with a b---- for a quarterback, first of all.
"That was the whole thing with him: He didn't want to come out and do anything because his agent was trying to protect his body or some s--- like that. Which, I can't fault him for that. But like, you should have made that decision on Thursday. Now it's Sunday."
Later, Patriots legend Julian Edelman reacted to Bennett's strong comments. Speaking on the I AM ATHLETE podcast, the retired wide receiver compared how Brissett played through injury while Garoppolo didn't.
"I guess Jimmy was practicing and then decided not to play," Edelman said. "And Jacoby [Brissett] played with no ligaments in his thumb, which -- you can't do that as a quarterback. You can't grip. And if it's your left [shoulder]..."
Edelman admitted the locker room wasn't pleased with Garoppolo, including himself. So, even though he didn't use the same kind of words Bennett did, Edelman seemed to agree with him.
