Rule has always been on the books for player safety, and the pitch clock doesn't change that. Penalty is a ball with the bases empty and a balk with runners on base. (2/2)

Ground ball off the right leg of #Rays top pitching prospect Taj Bradley, and he will leave the game for what seems to be just precautionary reasons

#Rockies sign LHP Brad Hand to a one-year deal worth $2 million.
Hand saved 124 games between 2017-21 and had a 3.93 ERA (146 ERA+) with the Phillies in 2022.
Justin Steele's two-inning outing vs. Padres was so efficient, needing only 18 pitches, he went to the bullpen afterward where he threw about 25 more to continue building up.
"If I can do that all year, I think we'll be in a pretty good spot," a smiling Steele said.

Hinch on PitchCom: "There's a reason NFL quarterbacks don't call all their own plays. There's a reason why the NBA doesn't just hand it over to the players and their system offense. It's because these game plans are super complex."
Hinch on PitchCom: "We're going to continue to toy with it, and they need to work together to follow the game plan, adjust when they need to. But honestly, it's nobody's game to call. It's trying to beat the opponent. We're going to work together to make the best decisions."

A younger kid was taken to the hospital with injuries that we don’t know the extent of. Joe Mixon’s involvement doesn’t…

UPDATE: sources close to MoSports say 13 shots were fired at the scene of the crime
more coming..
Sources share this video with MoSports catching the sounds of the reported gunfire…
Sources update their report stating a group of Anderson high schoolers were reportedly having a nerf gun war in the local area.
Mixon saw one of them on his property with a “weapon” and opened fire.
“More significantly, the Packers are exhausted by the combination of Rodgers’ high-maintenance persona and what they perceive to have been his low-commitment leadership over the past 12 months.”

Aaron Rodgers said on Jan. 24: "I'm open to all honest and direct conversations. If they (Green Bay) feel like it's in the best interest of the team, so be it. That wouldn't offend me. It wouldn't make me feel like a victim. I wouldn't have any animosity toward the team."

QUESTION: What did the officials see during the challenge to overturn the Nikola Jokic foul on Scottie Barnes during the review?
Foster: The initial contact by Jokic was to the ball as well as the hand that was in contact with the ball at the same time and by NBA guidelines, that is not a foul.
QUESTION: Why was Scottie Barnes ejected at the end of the game?
FOSTER: He was ejected on one technical foul because he used verbiage that which directly questioned the integrity of the crew.

Pete Carroll said the #Seahawks are “totally connected” to the QBs in this year’s draft, especially since they’re in the rare spot of drafting No. 5 overall. Smith’s contract rewards him for his comeback season but doesn’t close the door on Seattle taking a QB high at all.

There is some logic to it. Basically, Ravens could look at it and say, “We’ve worked for two years on this and we got nothing.” And decide to let another team write the contract for them.
Then, match and decide whether to keep him or trade him to that team. Risky. But not crazy.

The timeline for Lamar Jackson ahead: other teams can make him an offer as of next Wednesday, March 15th at 4 PM ET.
If Jackson signs an offer sheet elsewhere, the Ravens could match it and retain Jackson or decline it and receive two first-round picks.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson also essentially controls his trade market now—Baltimore can’t trade his rights unless he signs his franchise tender. And right now, there’s really no motivation for him to do that.
Next week should be very interesting.
223
The Atlanta Falcons will not be pursuing QB Lamar Jackson, per sources.
8698
1991
What's really potentially intriguing about the Lamar Jackson situation is this:
If Lamar waits until after the draft to sign an offer sheet, that new team can still use their 1st rounder this year (Rams/Dolphins/49ers etc. can also make offers at that point).
164
Also of note, any team interested in submitting an offer sheet for Lamar Jackson must have a 2023 & 2024 first round pick available.
This eliminates the Rams, Dolphins, 49ers, Broncos & Browns currently.
227
Also also of note: It isn't imperative that an interested team go the offer sheet route to acquire Lamar Jackson.
After March 15th, nothing is stopping a team from throwing a massive trade offer at Baltimore to acquire his rights. Lamar must sign the tag though.
The #Ravens not using the exclusive tag is a signal that they don't immediately plan on trading Lamar Jackson.
Baltimore is banking on the fact that there's not a team in the league who will meet Jackson's fully guaranteed demands, and will match nearly any other offer sheet.

Been trying to gauge league-wide interest in Lamar Jackson since #Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him.
Washington is a team that, on paper, makes sense (just like the Falcons). But based on what I’m hearing, the #Commanders are not likely to pursue Jackson.

Details on the #Giants deal for QB Daniel Jones:
-- 4 years
-- $160M
-- $35M more in incentives
-- $82M over the first two years
-- $94M virtually guaranteed at signing.
-- First-year cap number around $19M.

Daniel Jones' Year 1 cap hit should come in around $19M, I'm told, which seemingly provides flexibility in free agency to address a few positions.

My theory on Lamar Jackson is the Raven have reason to feel strongly no competing team will deliver on the fully gtd deal. I think it's naïve to think owners haven't been discussing this among themselves. They care A LOT about precedent (or in this case pushing back on it).

@NickKendellMHH @IanKenyonNFL I did not hear that he "killed it in interviews". Heard all the QBs were just okay in interviews. Doing a podcast now with Dane and he said teams were surprised at how far behind he was from a football standpoint.
I stand by my reporting.
The cost combination of draft pick compensation + expected contract demands = highly unlikely @Raiders get involved. If the latter changes, then the level of involvement could change.
In 2023, is the NY media really that different than any other market in the country? Rodgers played in the league's smallest market and is still the most scrutinized player in the sport. With the internet and social media everybody is under a similar spotlight regardless of city

A very honest answer from #Giants GM Joe Schoen when asked if he thought he'll be re-signing Daniel Jones to a long-term deal at this time last year: "If I thought I would have been here a year ago, I would have done the fifth-year option."

Full Jones contract breakdown per Florio, the deal is actually three-years worth $112.5M with an average of $37.5M a season

#AZCardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins admitted on @PatMcAfeeShow that he’s “been hearing a lot of trade talks.” On that subject, my understanding is if a trade did happen, he’d be flexible on the last two years of his contract – rather than shoot for a top-of-the-market deal.

Just a thought: What are the chances Rodgers would want LT David Bakhtiari to be part of the #Packers deal to the #Jets? It's curious his deal hasn't been reworked when all the others have been done for a while. It would shave $5M off GB's cap if he were traded before the 17th.

118
I mean this can't be understated. #Jets could be getting Aaron Freaking Rodgers at a MASSIVE discount from #Packers.
This is a MAJOR win & in theory would allow them to keep No. 13 overall pick to grab the best OL avail or w/e the hell else they want!
It doesn’t seem right that Jonathan Gannon had to answer questions about the Cardinals’ poor NFLPA report card. Would have been a much better look if Michael Bidwill addressed it.

While we're on Rodgers Watch ... a prediction: IF trade happens, I say #Jets give up 2023 2nd rounder + conditional 2024 3rd rounder (can improve based on indiv/team performance). Don't see them trading '23 1st rounder (13th). Comp could be tied to how much contract they take on

Sources: NFL is taking a fifth-round pick from the Texans and fining them $175,000 for what the league believes is a salary-cap violation and what Houston believes is an accounting error that dates back Deshaun Watson’s training during COVID.

Braxton Berrios did some nice things for the #Jets (All-Pro KR in 2021), but wasn't as productive this season at WR or KR/PR + $8.2M cap was too high. Obviously, fans will remember the drop in Minny. He will land on his feet. He will have suitors. Rams? LaFleur always a fan.
280
Complicating factor: If a team signs Lamar Jackson to an offer sheet, Baltimore has five days to match. That knocks that team essentially out of free agency and loses them the other available QBs -- because they are paralyzed in cap space just waiting. Not impossible. But hard.

@sick perch Another twist
Need to correct something on the Geno Smith deal:
—The full guarantee is only Year 1 (2023). There’s a $12.7 million guarantee in 2024 that’s injury-only until next Feb. If he’s released before then, no more money would be owed. Apologies for the error there. Big difference.
163
As for the incentives, they’re more like escalators, meaning they raise the next year’s pay. But also, not guaranteed.
Smith gets $2m bumps for each category in which he bests his ’22 stats (yds, TDs, comp %, passer rating, wins). Hit all 5, $5m more added ($15m max each yr)
When we last saw Bills receiver Stefon Diggs on (or technically near) a football field, he was gesticulating in the direction of quarterback Josh Allen during a home playoff loss to the Bengals. Since then, Diggs has had a couple of cryptic tweets that have created questions as to whether he’s ready to move on [more]
Seahawks QB Geno Smith’s incentives are tied to his 2022 stats in five categories, per source:
$2M each for:
Extra $5M if he hits them all
360
For clarity’s sake:
The upside comes via roster bonus escalators in 2024 and 2025
If Smith hits or exceeds his 2022 benchmarks in 2023, then he boosts the value of his 2024 roster bonus
So max of $15M escalation in 2024 and 2025 based on 2023 and 2024 performance
The #Seahawks released veteran guard Gabe Jackson, per the wire. The move clears $6.5 million in cash and cap space.
