players union elections
Chase Winovich Jersey Boys , The Associated Press erroneously reported that Michael Thomas of the Saints had been voted to the executive council. The
correct player is Michael Thomas of the Dolphins.A corrected version of the
story is below:Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Eric Winston has been
unanimously re-elected as president of the NFL players union, earning his third
straight three-year term.Winston, who is scheduled to become a free agent, ran

the Patriots’ day three draft picks, and other league reactions"The 2019 NFL
draft is over, and the third and final day saw the New England Patriots invest
in five players: offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt, quarterback Jarrett Stidham,
defensive edge — and like the incumbent he will likely have to make it through
special teams. Crossen’s standing on the team
Julian Edelman Jerseys Stitched , meanwhile, was already somewhat uncertain due to the second-round investment in cornerback Joejuan Williams; Webster is another
player he will have to stand his ground against.Loser: P Ryan AllenEven though
he is coming off an outstanding Super Bowl performance, the Patriots look to
upgrade Ryan Allen’s punter job for the second straight year: undrafted free
agent Corey Bojorquez failed to unseat him in 2018, now fifth-round rookie Jake
Bailey will try. The message is clear that the serviceable but statistically
average Allen, who was only re-signed on a one-year deal in free agency, needs
to step up his game.Winners: WR Braxton Berrios & WR Bruce EllingtonNew
England addressed its need at wide receiver when it chose N’Keal Harry in the
first round. But even though club still remained in the market for more depth at
the position, it did not add a developmental interior/slot option on days two or
three. This is especially good news for Braxton Berrios and Bruce Ellington:
both players are on the roster bubble but with the exception of undrafted rookie
Ryan Davis did not see any extra competition brought in through the draft.Loser:
QB Danny EtlingWith the Patriots drafting Jarrett Stidham in the fourth
round
Youth Rob Gronkowski Jerseys , the writing is on the wall for Danny Etling: unless New England keeps four quarterbacks on its active team or moves on from
veteran Brian Hoyer he will again not find his way onto the 53-man roster.
Beating out Hoyer actually appears to be his best bet, and with one year of
experience under his belt it would not be all that big of a surprise if he
succeeded. The odds are still against him, though, even more so after Stidham’s
selection.Loser: DE Derek RiversDerek Rivers already was listed as a loser
yesterday due to New England picking Chase Winovich in round three. Sunday’s
selection of versatile but raw Byron Cowart adds further competition to the
position group — and more pressure on Rivers, who has shown little over the
first two years of his career. The former third-round draft pick finally needs
to live up to the potential he showed early in 2017 to make the team.
