FOXBOROUGH
Color Rush Joejuan Williams Jersey , Mass. (AP) — The Patriots have released veteran defensive end Adrian Clayborn and signed six players to offset free
agency losses on both sides of the ball.The 30-year-old Clayborn was released
Friday after one season in New England and just a day after the Patriots traded
for another veteran edge rusher in Michael Bennett. In addition, the Patriots
also re-signed defensive end John Simon and added lineman Mike Pennel, who
together with Bennett will try to make up for the production lost after Trey
Flowers signed with the Detroit Lions.Simon was originally signed by the
Patriots last September and appeared in 11 games with two starts, totaling 17
tackles and two sacks. He also played in all three playoff games last season and
had a half-sack in the AFC championship game.Defensive back Terrence Brooks was
signed to add depth to a secondary that won’t have Eric Rowe back.On offense,
New England added a pair of receivers, signing Bruce Ellington and Maurice
Harris. They will compete for a role in a receiver group that won’t have
Cordarrelle Patterson back after he signed with Chicago.The Patriots also signed
tight end Matt LaCosse as they await Rob Gronkowski’s decision on whether he
will return for his 10th season.NFL Week 3 picks: The Patriots are in prime time
(oh, and the Browns won a game!) During a typical week, I write my weekly picks
column on Thursday night/early Friday morning after the Thursday Night Football
game. This week, though, things were a little different.I found myself unable to
write anything on Thursday night because
Youth Joejuan Williams Jersey , well, I had to wrap my head around the fact that we once again live in a world where the Cleveland Browns are capable of winning
football games. Much less than that, we live in a world where the Browns are
capable of coming back from 14-point deficits to win games. I think I picked my
jaw up off the floor at least half a dozen times. What a night.I’m not
complaining though. Even though I’m not the world’s biggest Baker Mayfield fan
(he was incredible in Thursday’s game though), it was such a joy watching that
loss happen to the Jets. It couldn’t have happened to a better team. I loved
seeing all the misery on Twitter from some notable Jets fans, like ESPN’s Mike
Greenberg for instance. Watching that team fail never gets old.Meanwhile,
congrats to the Browns fans on the victory. It was a long time coming. Party
like you just won the Super Bowl. (OK, maybe don’t do that. But still, have some
fun.)Time to make some Week 3 picks??Home teams in caps, and all lines courtesy
of OddsShark.com)Bills (+16.5) over VIKINGSAm I insane for taking the Bills
against the spread over the big bad Vikings? Absolutely. One hundred percent
wacko. The Bills are the worst team in the league right now. But 16.5
points????? That’s a humongous line. If any of you are ballsy enough to actually
gamble on the Bills in this game, you could potentially have big money waiting
for you.That being said
Womens Joejuan Williams Jersey , I can’t in good consciousness advise you to actually gamble on the 2018 Bills. Just stay away from this team.PANTHERS (-3)
over BengalsThe 2-0 Bengals are suddenly without Joe Mixon, who has been
responsible for 86 percent of their rushing attack so far this season. And I
thought Cincinnati was overachieving even with Mixon. I like the Panthers at
home in this game.Broncos (+5.5) over RAVENSThis Ravens team is hard to figure
out. They obliterated Buffalo in Week 1, then were essentially a no-show in
Cincinnati in Week 2. And Joe Flacco looks like he’s washed up. If they are able
to beat this 2-0 Denver team, I don’t think it’s by more than five points.PS:
This game doesn’t even seem worth watching. I might not even watch the
highlights, and I always watch the highlights for every game. Packers (-3) over
REDSKINSI think the Redskins peaked in Week 1 against a crappy Cardinals team.
Last week, they only managed nine points against the Colts, who aren’t exactly
known for their lights out defense. Adrian Peterson only managed 20 rushing
yards.Aaron Rodgers might not be 100 percent for the Pack just yet, but he’s the
most gifted QB in the game, and he seems like the safer bet.EAGLES (-7) over
ColtsFour simple words: Carson Wentz is back.Giants (+6) over TEXANSSaquon
Barkley is probably the most important player on my fantasy team, so I just need
a really big game from him. He let me down last week in Dallas with only 28
rushing yards. Time for a big time bounce back game here.FALCONS (-3) over
SaintsI’m not sold on either of these teams as playoff teams this
year
Authentic Joejuan Williams Jersey , even though they both have playoff-caliber rosters. Nonetheless, this could be a pretty interesting game.
I’m taking the home team.DOLPHINS (-3) over RaidersAs crazy as it is to imagine
the Dolphins going to 3-0 and maintaining first place in the AFC East, Jon
Gruden’s Raiders are a mess. An actual quote from Gruden this week: “It’s hard
to find a good pass rusher.”A few weeks ago, Gruden had arguably the league’s
best pass rusher (Khalil Mack) ALREADY ON HIS TEAM. Then he traded him to
Chicago, and the Raiders have been doomed ever since. Might as well just move
them to Las Vegas right now.49ers (+6.5) over CHIEFSGame of the week right here.
Two first-year starting QBs both with superstar potential. I’m hoping for an
endless showing of offense, just a back-and-forth shootout for 60 minutes. I’m
pumped.JAGUARS (-9.5) over TitansThe Titans are without Delanie Walker for the
year, and they might be without Marcus Mariota this week. One of the most
important gambling rules of all time: Never bet on Blaine Gabbert. It doesn’t
matter what he did last week. He won’t play two good games in a row.RAMS (-7)
over ChargersI see some serious blowout potential here. The Rams are the best
team in the league, and the Chargers are an eternally overrated team. My
prediction for this battle for LA: Rams 37, Chargers 14.Bears (-5) over
CARDINALSI’m still waiting for Mitchell Trubisky to really show me something. He
seems like a good kid, but he lost major points in Green Bay two weeks ago when
he straight up failed to notice a wide open Trey Burton in the end zone in the
fourth quarter
Joejuan Williams Jersey Boys , which would’ve sealed the win for Chicago had he connected with him.Trubisky played a good game against Seattle last week, but he
has yet to do anything that really just makes people believe in him. The
Cardinals are an easy matchup this year (they’ve scored a grand total of six
points through two games), so this is a prime opportunity for Trubisky to really
have a great game and get some more people on his bandwagon.Cowboys (+1.5) over
SEAHAWKSSorry, Russell Wilson, but you’ve been bumped from my fantasy team’s
starting lineup for a first year starter (Patrick Mahomes). I hope there aren’t
any hard feelings. I’ve always been a fan of yours.Patriots (-7) over LIONSThe
Pats got throttled by the Jaguars last week, and Tom Brady bounces back after
tough defeats better than anybody. I also think it greatly benefits New England
that they are going against Matt Patricia’s team, which lost by 31 points to the
Jets two weeks ago — the same Jets team that just lost to the Cleveland Browns
on Thursday night. (Sorry, I had to.)BUCCANEERS (+1.5) over SteelersScrew it, go
big or go home. I’m buying into this Fitzmagic thing. And you know what? I don’t
think Jameis Winston is going to see the field at all this year. In 2018 ??and
probably just in 2018 ??the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Ryan Fitzpatrick’s
team.Last week: 9-7This week: 0-1Overall: 20-12-1
