Marvin Jones has left its ninth NFL season without a playoff game, and the former Bengals and Lions team is looking for a champion to become its third team. His youngest fullback is already throwing him on a trip to Los Angeles. Matthew Stafford called Jones about the collaboration with the Frame, Says Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. However, the soon-to-be 31-year-old receiver apparently wants to be interested in joining the Dolphins and Jaguars. Jones played a five-year deal with the Lions, with Stafford as his primary QB. The Rams are not exactly capable of chasing higher agencies to free agents and are over $ 30 million as of Friday. And the team has Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp long-term signed, with Van Jefferson until 2023 under team control. But the Stafford move shows that the Rams are making a big push. Through the lens, Jones would make sense as a help option.

Here’s the latest from the NFC West:

  • The 49ers is facing a difficult situation with Dee Ford, who is facing a back injury that sidelined him for 15 games last season. If the former Pro Bowl Pass Rusher is not healthy on April 1, his $ 11.6 million guarantee is fully guaranteed. With John Lynch indicating that Ford may not be ready by the 2021 season, according to Matt Maiocco of the NBC Sports Bay Area, it is safe to assume that the 49ers will eat those cap costs. This is a similar situation to Ford’s off-season in 2018, when the Chiefs were forced to take up Ford’s fifth-year option because he could not pass a physical person. The 49ers restructured Ford’s contract last year and raised its hood number from 2021 to $ 20.1MM – second place in the team. The most that San Francisco could save with a Ford savings would amount to $ 3.7 million in a June 1 deal.
  • A more proven fit roster does not have to worry about any release. Asked about an NFL.com list of potential casualties in the cap included Chandler Jones, Cardinal GM Steve Keim rejects the idea in question during an appearance on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM (via the Republic of Arizona). Jones will have to count $ 20.8 million against Arizona’s budget in 2021. The two-time All-Pro is in the final season of a $ 16.5 million a year deal that fell to 13th among fringe runners, indicating on a possible expansion that would lower its cap.
  • A year before the Seahawksas a result of the play-offs, they reach out to a notable general receiver about the possible joining a then-Tarvaris Jackson-quarter team. LeBron James confirmed that the Seahawks, in addition to the Cowboys contacting him, also did so during the 2011 NBA Exclusion. Then in his second year as Seattle’s HC, Pete Carroll James sent a customized Seahawks jersey with the practice invitation. ‘I would have tried, but I caught up with the team, ”James said via Christopher Kamrani and Bill Oram of The Athletic (registration required). ‘I do not mind working for something, so if I had to try for the Cowboys or the Seahawks, or if I would have stayed home and gone back home to Cleveland, I would have tried (but) I would made the team. Some close to James, 26 at the time of the exclusion, convinced him not to go through with NFL training sessions. The NBA legend has significant recruiting interest as a wide variety in St. Louis. Vincent-St received. Mary High in Akron, but quit the sport before his senior year.
