The Artist's Jimmy Garoppolo Project Finally Ends With Raiders News

 The nearly year-long project by San Francisco 49ers artist and fan Rita Carvalho drawing Jimmy Garoppolo every day "until he's traded" finally ended on Monday. Although "Jimmy G." Technically untraded, Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million deal Monday afternoon, meaning the 31-year-old will leave the Bay Area after six seasons tournament with the team. Carvalho's job began almost exactly a year ago, in March 2022, when it seemed almost certain that Garoppolo would leave the 49ers . Instead, the former New England Patriots signal caller stayed in San Francisco for an extra year under a restructured contract and agreed to become a backup for Trey Lance heading into last season. After Lance suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2, Garoppolo took over and eventually led the quarterback committee in games and starts (11 and 10), completion rate (67.2%) , the number of passes (2,437) and the number of touches to the ball (16)

 The Raiders have found a starting QB for 2023, but is he the long-term answer to the franchise? According to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini, former 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo and Las Vegas have agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million deal with a $34 million guarantee. Las Vegas only has one QB under contract (Chase Garbers), so it needs a viable starter. Garoppolo is a solid pick as he has a 40-17 starting record in nine seasons and played under Raiders HC Josh McDaniels when he was a New England OC. But he is not the permanent answer. Although Garoppolo led the 49ers to Super Bowl LIV, he benefited from a talented roster that included three-time Pro Bowl DE champion Nick Bosa. In his six seasons in San Francisco, Garoppolo never made a Pro Bowl and only threw more than 20 TDs once. In addition, injuries have limited him throughout his career. Garoppolo missed eight games last season with a broken foot, missed 10 games in 2020 with an ankle injury, and missed 13 games after

 The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to compete in the knockout stages of the 2022 season until the Miami Dolphins kicked in goal with 18 seconds left to face the New York Jets in Week 18. Despite the flip between Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett throughout the season, and arguably lacking their most important defensive player in a long time, the team went 9-8 to hold the record for ever-losing coaching season. Chief Officer Mike Tomlin. While a number of possible problems, from the Lamar Jackson contract dispute, to the trade rumors and legal troubles that have the division's teams worried, the road back to being a competitor is synonymous with beating them consistently. The Cincinnati Bengals still have tons of weapons, including star quarterback Joe Burrow, and almost won the Super Bowl last year. The Baltimore Ravens are currently a big question mark because of Jackson's situation but expect coach John Harbaugh to plan to be a competitive team with or without their former MVP

Most likely signings for Steelers as free agency spoofing opens

 Welcome to the free dealer, Pittsburgh Steelers fans! Monday is a very important day. It marked the beginning of the NFL's legal spoofing era, where free agent players could officially begin negotiating with teams. The contracts won't be considered official until Wednesday (March 15), but Monday essentially marks the start of the 2023 NFL season. News of the free agency will come fast and furious, as the top players will be leaving the table in a few hours. As the Steelers often do, they will steer clear of familiar names like Odell Beckham Jr. and Bobby Wagner. Instead, the team will focus on finding excellent players who will help fill the demand for positions and sign contracts at reasonable prices. Here is a list of four reasonable free agents for the Steelers to sign. Free Agent #1 - CB: Rock Ya-Sin There's no denying the Steelers' need to tackle the full-back position this season. Kicking off a strong campaign in 2022 with the Raiders, Rock Ya-Sin is a reasonabl

Underestimating RB position could get Texas star stolen draft

 Over the past 15 years, the run-back position in the NFL has depreciated to such an extent that it's almost unheard of to be eliminated early in the draft. And when one is made, the move is often harshly criticized for overdrafting a non-senior position. That belief could lead to a team in the middle or end of the first round being snubbed at Bijan Robinson of Texas in the 2023 division. Robinson is not only an electric runner, but he also has the versatility to impact the game in many ways as a runner, catcher and even a tackler. Robinson considers that flexibility a key strength. "First of all, I feel if you're a guy who can do all three things for your offense, I think that's a very special quality for a player," Robinson said Saturday at NFL combined, via ESPN. "You put a player in the receiving position, in the slotting position or obviously in the running back position. Just create a mismatch all over the field and maybe create space for yourself.. It

Insiders believe the Bears 'likely' will be the number 1 pick

 The NFL draft is about six weeks away, but the Chicago Bears have been at #1 for quite some time. Whether or not they will make the first pick on April 15 is debatable, but information from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis suggests that the top pick will proceed. On Sunday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport stated that the Bears are "more likely" to trade options. "The interest in Ryan Poles' No. 1 pick for the Chicago Bears is significant," said Rapoport. "And the quarterback's performance we saw yesterday only reinforces that." Several quarterbacks, including Florida's Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young, turned heads on Saturday at the combo. With several teams in need of a quarterback, especially in the first 15 picks of the draft, the Bears are in the enviable position of holding first pick with quarterback Justin Fields already available. Initially, speculation increased about the Bears potentially using the option in their own quarterback w

Three QB targets for Raid after Derek Carr release

 On Tuesday, the Raiders launched Derek Carr, leaving them without a viable starter in midfield. The only QB under the contract is 23-year-old Chase Garbers, who has never crossed a career . According to OverTheCap, the Raiders have a cap of $48.4 million, which ranks third in the NFL , allowing them to add QB through trade or free agency. With 7 overall pick, the Raid can also pick their next QB in the draft. Here are three goals that Las Vegas should pursue. Jimmy Garoppolo, free agent Raiders HC Josh McDaniels may prefer Garoppolo, who played for McDaniels when he worked as offensive coordinator in New England. Garoppolo is efficient - his career passing 99.6 ranks sixth among active passers - but he is prone to injury, playing only one season in nine years. Also, he's recovering from a broken leg in Week 12, so Las Vegas must have a solid backup. Garoppolo is expensive, especially for a player without Pro Bowls. According to Spotrac, his market value is a four-year contract wor

 Former Ohio State QB CJ Stroud hopes to be named in the 2023 NFL Draft soon, and the 21-year-old may have revealed his preferred destination.

Stroud doesn't want to "stir up the pot," so he first mentioned a retired recipient of his choice, former All-Pro Chad Johnson. As for the current recipient he wants to work with, Stroud doesn't say the superstar's name but makes a remarkable suggestion. "If you know anything about the person Ochocinco loves, that should give you the answer," says Stroud. "So if you watch Ochocinco, [you know] who is his favorite trail runner in the tournament. That's who I want to throw for." In 2019, Adams sent his practice film to Johnson, who tweeted an emotional response to what he had seen. Johnson has repeatedly reiterated after his video how much he appreciates Adams, even giving him the title of best WR in

Scout Analysis: Ohio State Strengths, Weaknesses QB CJ Stroud

 Beginning two years at Ohio State, CJ Stroud led head coach Ryan Day to creative, powerful attack, throwing 85 touchdowns and 8,123 yards. Strengths: The Stroud has a good size (6 feet-3 and 218 pounds) and the toughness to stay firmly in the bag in the face of pressure. He benefits from having dynamic weapons on the belt -- including NFL first picks Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave -- and exhibits good accuracy in the mid to deep areas. of the yard. Stroud can determine the pressure in a pre-read and adjust the protection accordingly. He has excellent movement in and out of the pocket but seems to prefer playing from the inside. His ability to extend play and his passing accuracy were underrated aspects of his game. When Stroud puts his foot in the clean bag, he creates good velocity and throws with good anticipation. He has a good understanding of "situational football" in regards to timing and scoring in key moments of the game. Weaknesses: In regards to technique and mech

 The late Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant played with the Los Angeles Lakers for seven seasons, winning consecutive titles in the process. The two shared a relationship on and off court. Almost immediately after Gasol joined Kobe in Los Angeles midway through the 2007-08 season, this relationship extended to Bryant's family.

Nolan Smith of the University of Georgia burned down the track with a 4.39 40-yard run at 6 foot-2, 238 pounds and made himself some money in Indianapolis.
