New England Patriots Re-Sign Devin McCourty

New England Patriots Re-Sign Devin McCourty

Featured

There’s been another big move in “pre-agency”. After the Tennessee Titans locked up Ryan Tannehill, the New England Patriots just re-signed a vital piece to their team. The quarterback of their defense, safety Devin McCourty and the team have agreed to terms on a new deal for the veteran playmaker.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the contract is for two years, $23 million with $17 million guaranteed:

However, the true news breaker was none other than McCourty himself. He took to YouTube to film a special edition of Double Coverage—a show that features himself and his twin brother Jason—to share the news that the he would remain in New England.

The team had already announced they would be bringing back Jason McCourty and now the two will spend their third season playing together—the first of which resulted in a Super Bowl victory.

Early indications seem to suggest that Bill Belichick is more interested in keeping the team together as opposed to venturing into an on-the-fly rebuild or makeover for the franchise.

Tennessee Titans Sign Ryan Tannehill to Multi-Year Extension

Tennessee Titans Sign Ryan Tannehill to Multi-Year Extension

Featured

The Tennessee Titans shocked most of the football world with their run through the AFC playoffs, which culminated in a trip to the AFC Championship game.

Their season turned around when they inserted Ryan Tannehill into the starting lineup and benched former number two overall pick, Marcus Mariota.

Tannehill’s contract was set to expire and for weeks there was speculation that the Titans may be after Tom Brady—a former teammate of current head coach, Mike Vrabel. However, all the rumors can now be put to rest. Tennessee has agreed to a multi-year extension with Tannehill.

The report from ESPN’s Jeff Darlington says the contract will be for four years and worth $118 million with $62 million fully guaranteed:

With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) now in place, the Titans acted quickly to secure Tannehill. Not only does it fortify their quarterback position but they also leave themselves the option to franchise tag running back Derrick Henry if they are unable to reach an agreement.

The Titans are hoping they can keep the momentum from last year’s season going and that all starts with bringing back the quarterback who helped spark the fire.

Needless to say, Tannehill was happy with the deal:

BREAKING NEWS: Calais Campbell Traded to Baltimore Ravens

BREAKING NEWS: Calais Campbell Traded to Baltimore Ravens

Featured

Now that all 32 teams understand what they are dealing with as the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been officially ratified by the players it’s back to business as normal.

For the Jacksonville Jaguars, that means attacking an impending rebuild head-on. Last season, they shipped off Jalen Ramsey to Los Angeles. Earlier this offseason they sent A.J. Bouye to the Denver Broncos.

Now, they have made another move by sending Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the deal:

Ramsey didn’t hold back after the previous Jacksonville moves and he spoke up on Twitter once again after this move:

Yet, Jacksonville continues to stockpile assets for the future. NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo notes the amount of draft picks they have over the next two seasons:

For Baltimore, they are focused on the present. With Lamar Jackson on a cheap rookie deal, the Ravens are making moves to bolster their team—that finished with the league-best 14-2 record last season—as they try to remain at the top of the NFL.

With linebacker Matthew Judon already receiving the franchise tag, adding Campbell only makes the Ravens defense even stronger. Campbell can be impactful in both the run and passing game.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Campbell will sign a two-year extension worth $27 million:
