Jets running back Elijah McGuire fractured his foot during Friday’s practice Cameron Meredith Jersey , coach Todd Bowles confirmed Saturday. McGuire will undergo surgery next week, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
The timetable for McGuire’s return is unknown, but the Jets could place him on injured reserve to start the season depending on his rehab schedule.
He played 25.8 percent of the offensive snaps and 20 percent of the special teams snaps last season after the Jets made him a sixth-round pick. McGuire had 105 touches for 492 yards and two touchdowns.
Now in need of a running back, the Jets brought in free agent running back Alfred Morris for a visit Saturday Jaelen Strong Jersey , Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.
Morris had 122 touches for 592 yards and a touchdown last season for the Cowboys.
Some think Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins doesn’t get enough credit. The Bengals are giving him more than enough credit.
Despite Atkins being on the wrong side of 30, the Bengals have kept him on the right side of mega-rich with a four-year, $65.2 million extension. Here’s the full breakdown, per a source with knowledge of the deal:
1. $13 million signing bonus.
2. $4 million roster bonus Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey , due at signing.
3. $8 million base salary for 2018.
4. $3.5 million roster bonus, due on the third day of the 2019 league year.
5. $8 million base salary for 2019.
6. $11.1 million base salary for 2020.
7. $11.7 million base salary for 2021.
8. $12.95 million base salary for 2022.
9. $300,000 workout bonuses for 2018 through 2022.
10. $200,000 in 46-man roster bonuses for 2018 through 2022.
The deal has a total value of $74.75 million over five years. Due to make $9.55 million in 2018 under his prior deal Keelan Cole Jersey , Atkins will instead make $25.5 million in 2018. The new contract also pays out $37.5 million in cash over two years, significantly more than the $37.5 million he would have made in the final year of his contract plus the franchise tag, if the tag for defensive tackles ends up being $15 million. (And the Bengals, we’re told Kony Ealy Jersey , fully intended to tag Atkins absent a new deal.)
Although none of the base salaries are guaranteed (which is the Bengals’ standard practice for veterans), he’d walk away with $25.5 million if the Bengals choose to cut him before paying the $12 million in base compensation he’s due to make in 2019.
The new-money average of $16.3 million is the highest for any non-quarterback over the age of 30, and it makes Atkins the team’s highest paid player.
