- Dolphins HC Brian Flores said he couldnโt speak to the accuracy of that report: โWe havenโt received any information like that. Weโve got to focus whatโs going on inside our building.โ (Adam Beasley)
Jets
Jets K Kaare Vedvik missed both a field goal and an extra point during Sundayโs 17-16 loss to the Bills.
Adam Gase made it clear that theyโve got to figure out their kicking game moving forward.
โWe just have to get better,โ Gase said, via Pro Football Talk. โWe have to make extra points. We have to make field goals. We canโt be losing points in those areas of the field. . . . Weโll see what happens on Monday. I donโt know. I havenโt had a chance to have a conversation with the personnel guys and see what they want to do. Weโll have more as we go.โ
- The Jets will hold kicker tryouts on Tuesday, per Jason La Canfora.
- Jets HC Adam Gase says LB C.J. Mosley (groin) and first-round DT Quinnen Williams (ankle) are probably going to miss practice Wednesday. (Ralph Vacchiano)
- Williams sprained his ankle and is in a boot, but Gase says heโs walking around โfairly well.โ (Brian Costello)
Patriots
Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Antonio Brown, tells Tom Curran of NBC Boston that Bill Belichick has asked him to stop commenting on the deal between Brown and the Patriots.
โAt this point heโs a free agent and heโs agreed to terms with the Patriots,โ Rosenhaus said. โIโve been asked by Coach Belichick to not comment so that the focus is on the game and thatโs what I will do. I have too much respect and have had too good a relationship with the organization to not respect that.โ
Adding one of the best wide receivers in the league, and maybe one of the best ever, to the Patriots dynasty has many understandably buzzing. But Patriots QB Tom Brady pumped the brakes on some of the building hype after Sundayโs beatdown of the Steelerโs
โYou know, I think all us players are trying to be the best player that we can be for the team,โ Brady said per the teamโs official transcript. โThereโs a lot of things that play into that, but weโre all trying to reach our highest potential individually so that we can reach our highest potential collectively. It doesnโt come together just because you say, โOh, all you guys are going to come together.โ Antonioโs had a lot of production, Demaryius [Thomas] has had a lot of production, Julianโs had a lot of production, Josh has had a lot of production, Phillip had a great game tonight. So, the point is weโve got a lot of players that are talented and weโve just got to figure out how to make it all work. Weโre going to work hard. Itโs a long year. Itโs the beginning of a long marathon and the NFLโs very competitive and itโs going to be a great challenge, but I think weโre all looking forward to it.โ
Patriots WR Josh Gordon made his 2019 debut on Sunday night against the Steelers and played well, catching three passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. It was a huge impact for a player whose career has teetered on the edge and Gordon says heโs grateful to New England for giving him the chances he needed to turn it around.
โIโm doing very well. Iโm extremely filled with gratitude every day, just enjoying myself,โ Gordon said via ESPNโs Mike Reiss. โComing inside this building, being with this family-oriented type of environment, and just doing what I love to do; thereโs nothing better than this, honestly. Itโs great.โ
- Per Ben Volin, one NFL executive thinks the Patriots got a good deal with Brown, who has more incentive to behave for New England than he did in Pittsburgh or Oakland: โThey have more leverage than he does. He has more of a reason to make it work. โฆ I love the way the transaction is set up for them. Thereโs more concern on him than the other way around.โ
