‘”I’m going to be the playcaller,” McDermott said, “but at the same time, [I] have tons of confidence in the guys that we have around me that if I need to toss it to them from time to time, I can do that.”‘

‘Harris, who turned 26 in February, was supplanted by Rhamondre Stevenson as the Patriots’ No. 1 running back in 2022. He was also limited by a thigh injury that sidelined him for six games.’

‘The deal has a max value of $13.5 million, including $5 million fully guaranteed and a $9.5 million base salary.’

‘The brothers make an appearance on the episode taped in late January, originally Hamlin’s first public appearance since suffering cardiac arrest during the Bills’ regular-season game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.’

‘The two-time Pro Bowl selection has had 100-plus tackles every season he has played. Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has spoken about wanting to see Edmunds make more splash plays. Edmunds has 5 career interceptions, 35 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles and 6.5 sacks.’

‘Interior offensive line is one of the areas of need for the Bills this offseason. McGovern was originally drafted by the Cowboys in the third round in 2019 out of Penn State but dealt with injuries and only started 29 games in three years.’

‘The addition of Keenum hints at a potential draft plan for the Texans, who have the No. 2 overall pick and could select a quarterback. The most popular quarterback options are Alabama’s Bryce Young, Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Florida’s Anthony Richardson and Kentucky’s Will Levis.’

‘The Bills entered Monday, the first day of the negotiating period, more than $19 million over the cap for 2023 (the Bills have an adjusted cap of about $227 million). Allen and Miller’s deals were the most obvious for the team to restructure to help the team become cap compliant and create room to work with. Allen’s extension signed in 2021 saw its first major jump in 2023 with the quarterback set to account for $39.8 million against the cap this year with $27.5 million in base salary.’

‘The extension is worth $14 million per year, a source told ESPN.’

‘”It’s tough. It’s a hard business as we know. There’s a lot of scrutiny on it, and there’s a lot of hours, a lot of time put in and, and, again, not speaking for Leslie, but sometimes you may just want to take a breath for a minute,” Beane said. “Again, that would be for him to say, but he was very adamant that he’s not gonna retire. My two cents, just wanted to take a step back this season.”‘

‘”After talking with my parents I understand how my coat could have offended some people,” Hamlin wrote in a note posted on his Twitter account. “It was never my intentions to hurt or disrespect anyone, the coat is abstract art to me.”‘

‘”It’s a tough situation,” he said. “They can’t really tell, because it’s like — it’s an up-to-me thing I guess or, you know, it’s just — it’s a long road. They’re just worried about trying to get me back to normal as much as they can.”‘

‘”Every day I am amazed that my experiences could encourage so many others across the country and even across the world,” Hamlin said. “Encourage to pray, encourage to spread love, and encourage to keep fighting no matter the circumstances. Sudden cardiac arrest was nothing I would have ever chosen to be a part of my story, but that’s because sometimes our own visions are too small even when we think we are seeing the bigger picture.’

‘”Giving back to my community has always been a big part of who I am,” Hamlin said. “I’m thankful to my father, who’s right here behind me. Growing up, just watching him do community days in our community, and I just always was waiting on my time when it came.”‘

‘”She can read, write, and understand pretty well, but she has trouble finding the words to respond,” Jessica Pegula, the No. 4 tennis player in the world, wrote. “It is hard to deal with and it takes a lot of patience to communicate with her, but I thank God every day that we can still communicate with her at all. The doctors continue to be blown away by her recovery, considering where she started, and her determination is the driving force of that.”‘
