Around The League 2021

Not to be outdone by the Jags bringing in Tebow to play TE, the Packers are bringing back in Eddie Lacy to play TE

 

The Panthers are predominantly a 3 safety defense, so this guy probably has a strong chance to make the team as a former top 100 draft pick. It seems like he was Fitterer's backup plan in case they didn't draft a safety.

 

Washington cut a couple of OTs from their Football Team. Holy “Moses” (RT), and “Christian” (LT). ..
sounds like an atheist move to me.

 

stadium...

"This news comes in light of the team switching to FieldTurf starting at the beginning of the 2021 season. The announcement, which came on April 28, declares that the increased activity at the stadium, most notably with the addition of the Charlotte Football Club MLS franchise, calls for a the consistent turf playing surface.

Carolina’s move to turf is not particularly favorable to its own players, however, as it’s proven to cause more non-contact injuries than natural grass. Last season, Cleveland Browns center and NFLPA union president JC Tretter called for all teams to move to grass, writing that players have “a 28 percent higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries when playing on artificial turf.”

Turf will be cheaper for team owner David Tepper to maintain, though – and that’s ultimately why the switch is being made."

 

Probably cutting field help too

 

Dan Morgan is probably thinking about the torn up grass from his playing days in Charlotte.

 

What national game was it when strips of sod were pulling away from the ground? Embarrassing day in team history ​

 

I can't wait until owners start saying the 17 game season means they can't raise pay for gameday employees.

 

It looks good on paper, but it's a bad long term investment if it's tearing up the knees of your highest paid athletes. This is one of the problems with a nerd running a sports franchise.
