Around the NFL: News and Rumors

Justin Herbert will have to wait, it seems Tyrod Taylor is penciled in as the starter for the Chargers.


TYROD TAYLORQB, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

The Athletic's Daniel Popper believes Chargers QB Tyrod Taylor will start "most, if not all, of the games" in 2020.
Taylor will be the Week 1 starter and likely keeps the job for as long as the Chargers stay in the playoff mix, assuming he doesn't completely roll over. Taylor is a coaching staff and player favorite as a great leader and under appreciated playmaker, but the Chargers offense is set up to be slow-paced and conservative with underneath targets. As showcased in the Hard Knocks series, first-round rookie Justin Herbert has some tools but also hasn't firmly grasped the offense in a pandemic-shortened offseason. Herbert could draw late-season starts but expect Taylor to provide sneaky QB2 value in deeper fantasy leagues as someone who has averaged 36.5 rushing yards in his 45 career games as a starter.

this has been pretty clear for a while - he’s been the clear leader in that room and herberts had almost no time with the 1s

it’s not a great year to be a rookie anything but especially rookie qb

makes a lot of sense - will make it easier for players to get tested so that the transaction process is as smooth as possible within the guidelines

this was one of the more egregious misses by the whole NFL - how Motley went udfa is ridiculous - i had a early-mid day 3 grade on him - some of his film was spectacular against high quality opponents

The battle in Chicago is over.

The sad career of Josh Rosen, the Dolphins have released him after not getting any offers for him after trying to trade him in the past few days.

2018- Drafted by Arizona
2019- Arizona Drafts Murray, trades him to the Dolphins.
2020- Dolphins draft Tua, Rosen is released.

Yep... soon we'll be hitting the $50M average for QBs. Plus once someone passes Mahomes, how long until he wants a new deal relative to the market 3-5 years from now.

Per Rapsheet:

Sources: The #Raiders are trading RB/returner Lynn Bowden Jr and a 6th rounder to the #Dolphins in exchange for a 4th round pick, the same pick Miami just got from Vegas. The versatile Bowden was a third-rounder this year.

Wow... traded a third round pick before the season began. Raiders were using him at RB, Dolphins plan to use him at WR. Crazy Jon & Mayock.

Sydney Jones was a guy a lot of people liked, right?
