New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold "has a very fair shot" of winning the quarterback battle and starting the team's Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions Buffalo Bills Jerseys Womens , a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.The Jets surrendered the sixth pick and three second-round selections to the Indianapolis Colts in order to move up to the number three slot, where they drafted Darnold. The USC product faces fierce competition for the quarterback job, which includes veteran Josh McCown and 25-year-old Teddy Bridgewater.The source told Schefter that the Jets are pleased with how he's performed thus far, and that Darnold "is further along than they thought." He signed his rookie four-year contract worth $30.2 million last week.New York hasn't made the playoffs since the 2010 season, but they were among the most productive teams during free agency. General manager Mike Maccagnan brought back McCown on a one-year deal. He signed Bridgewater, who missed all of 2016 and virtually the entire 2017 campaign with a torn ACL injury.Maccagnan also signed cornerback Trumaine Johnson, linebacker Avery Williamson, wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and running back Isaiah Crowell. But his biggest move of them all was surely trading up to land Darnold Authentic Rick Leonard Jersey , whom many scouts consider the most sure-thing quarterback in this year's draft. The Jets have supplied Darnold with a handful of quality pieces, but they have two proven veteran quarterbacks that can start if they don't believe he's ready. But so far, it sounds like Gang Green loves what they've seen from Darnold, and the starting quarterback gig may be his to lose.Having too many quarterbacks is a good problem to have for the Jets, but head coach Todd Bowles has the difficult choice of deciding who he's confident with. There are pros to starting each, but Darnold definitely comes with the most upside.As we await the start of pre-season, Darnold will be worth keeping an eye on as he tries to win what will be an intense quarterback battle. — The Cleveland Browns dropped Corey Coleman.
After two disappointing, injury-slowed seasons Adidas Corey Crawford Jersey , Coleman was traded Sunday night to the Buffalo Bills for an undisclosed draft pick.
Coleman has been a bust with the Browns, who selected him with the No. 15 overall pick in 2016 — the first selection by Cleveland’s previous, analytics-driven front office. Coleman played in just 19 games over two seasons because of injuries, and he never developed into the big-play receiver Cleveland thought it was getting, so the Browns decided to get something for him while they could.
Coleman’s tenure with the Browns will be best remembered for his drop late in the fourth quarter in last season’s finale at Pittsburgh that sealed the Browns’ 0-16 finish.
But beyond Coleman’s problems on the field, he had issues outside the lines that hurt his standing with coach Hue Jackson and new general manager John Dorsey.
Coleman was named in a police report regarding an alleged felonious assault last year. He was also sent home from the Browns’ trip to Houston for missing curfew while he was injured.
In many ways, Coleman symbolized the overall dysfunction of Cleveland’s last regime.
In 2016, former head of football operations Sashi Brown traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia Cowboys Michael Gallup Jersey , which selected quarterback Carson Wentz. Brown got back draft picks in return and used one on Coleman, a speed burner from Baylor who was considered undersized by most draft experts.
And while Coleman struggled and the Browns remained without a franchise QB, Wentz blossomed into an MVP candidate last season before suffering a knee injury.
This is the second major trade this year between the Browns and Bills. In March, Cleveland acquired quarterback Tyrod Taylor from Buffalo. Taylor led the Bills to a playoff berth last season and he’s expected to start for the Browns while rookie Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, learns and develops.
Coleman caught 56 passes for 718 yards and five touchdowns with the Browns, who are still in the market for a wide receiver.
Coleman’s departure adds another wrinkle to Cleveland’s muddled receiving situation. Former All-Pro Josh Gordon is currently not with the club in training camp as he attends to health problems, leaving Jarvis Landry as the only proven receiver atop the depth chart.
The Browns believe Gordon will be back at some point Authentic Jason Sanders Jersey , and until he returns rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins could see increased playing time.
Also, the Browns have considered signing Dez Bryant, the former Dallas star released earlier this year by the Cowboys.
Coleman should help the Bills, who are back to square one with their offense after dealing Taylor and drafting rookie quarterback Josh Allen.
Buffalo also released wide receiver Quan Bray.
