Eagles Sign Defensive End Chris Long To 2-year Deal

... at least with the Eagles. The team asked him to restructure his contract this offseason but eventually decided to keep him at his $11.7 million cap hit. That number would go up even more in 2018, the last year of his contract. The Eagles already have a solid succession plan already in place. When Peters retires or moves on, Johnson will slide over from right tackle to left and protect Carson Wentz's blind side. But do the Eagles have a replacement ready for Johnson. Pederson thinks they might have an answer in Halapoulivaati Vaitai, a fifth-round pick last year, who will enter his second season in 2017. He's just not sure yet. "It's hard to just say, pin me down and say he's a starter," Pederson said. "I think what he did last year, talk about incremental improvement, that kid improved every week and I think there's a chance. I think there's a chance he could be a dynamic starting tackle in his future. ...

... improves, agriculture improves, education improves and kids aren’t missing school.”. Small towns and villages in the sub-Saharan region will often send women or young girls to walk miles in extreme heat to fetch water, leading to educational and economic opportunity gaps for women and girls. “So clean water is also a gender-equity issue,” Long added. uc 162_1617_rotunda_sub_house_c.jpg. Despite a successful NFL career and his 2017 Super Bowl win with the New England Patriots, Long credits his work with Waterboys as one of his proudest accomplishments and a meaningful way to contribute to society. “Clean water is an efficient way to change the world,” he said.

Philadelphia Eagles Sign Chris Long And Patrick Robinson

... sign two veteran free agents to fill major holes in the team's defense. #Chris Long aims to revive the team's pass rush as a defensive end, while #Patrick Robinson will fill one of the team's biggest remaining needs at the cornerback position. Long in the tooth. Chris Long signed a two-year deal with the Eagles and expressed his excitement about joining the franchise on Twitter. The team was middle of the pack last season in terms of getting pressure on quarterbacks and recording sacks, getting just 34 on the season. The team didn't seem to prioritize the need to fix that during this free agency period, but with a potential top pass rusher still available, the team decided to take the leap. Long has recorded 58.5 sacks during his career with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. He chose not to pursue a return to New England in free agency so that he can have a greater opportunity to start and play elsewhere. He is known to be an extremely professional player and should ...

The elder Long was the second overall pick of the then-St. Louis Rams in the 2008 NFL Draft and was with the Rams until 2015.

As a player you've given so much support to, I owe you an explanation as to why I'll be moving on in FA. even if it isn't a big deal. This year and this opportunity gave me a ton. I made lifelong friends in a great locker room and became a champion. I'm so thankful that Coach B (the GOAT) took a chance on me and allowed me the opportunity to play a small part in this wonderful year.

Ex-patriots De Chris Long Signs Two-year Deal With Eagles

... - Philadelphia - to try and make that happen. Long, 32, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Howie Long (a Charlestown native and Villanova product), signed a two-year contract with the Eagles Tuesday. I'm ready to work! #Fly Eagles Fly. CSN Philly reports that Long isn't guaranteed a starting job on the Eagles' defensive line , but will be a valuable addition in any case. The Eagles had a definite need - and likely still do - at defense end following the departure of Connor Barwin. This signing doesn't mean Long will come in and start. The Eagles still have Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry under contract. But, at the very least, this is a depth signing to bring in a veteran locker room presence, like the one they lost when Barwin left. Long had four sacks and 10 quarterback hits in 16 games for New England and was an integral part of a defense that allowed an NFL-low 250 points. Curran, Holley, Tom ...

Should Chris Long Be On The Chicago Bears' Radar

... but Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is not completely married to the idea of using only a 3-man front. Fangio likes to move players around the line of scrimmage and is not afraid to show two-man or four-man looks up front. Long could be used in various sub-packages as a more traditional 4-3 defensive lineman and could also see some work as the 5-technique in the team's base package if he can prove he can handle his own against the run. At 31 years old, Long is in the final years of his career, but he proved last season he can still be an asset for a team along the defensive line. In addition to what he can bring on the field, he also has a pretty big supporter in his brother, and current Bear, Kyle Long. Hey @JOEL 9 ONE I hear your not back with the Patriots. I have a wicked good loft for you ...

Chris Long Has Hilarious Tweet About Viral Northwestern Fan

... Andrew Hawkins didn't help. Despite all that, Mayo thinks Jones will turn things around. "I think Cyrus Jones will probably be most improved this year," Mayo said in the latest edition of "The Ex Pats" podcast. "I want people to remember a rookie [Matthew] Slater. A rookie Matt Slater was terrible. He would sit here on this podcast and tell you he's terrible, and I think Cyrus Jones is more athletic than Matthew Slater. I think - I know for a fact, because I've seen it time and time again, the biggest leap not only in athleticsm but also in confidence is from year one to year two.". Jones admitted to the Baltimore Sun that his rookie was "hell." He added he felt "embarrassed." The 23-year-old cornerback said he didn't feel like he was a part of New England's Super Bowl LI win. “Failure is another opportunity to begin again more intelligently,” Jones wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. Mayo seems to think Jones has learned his lesson, and will ...

Chattanooga Mayoral Candidate Chris Long Talks Crime, Affordable Housing

... downtown. Everybody is looking for Toto and Dorothy but they can't find them. It's beautiful, I don't want to take nothing away from it at all. But not on the backs of everybody in this city. Because downtown they're exempt from these storm water regulations. That's the reason why it's growing so well. We've got just about a minute left. What is the number one thing you would want voters to know about you regarding your qualifications to be mayor. Well, I am a working man’s mayor. I'm a people's mayor. I don't tote no party line. I don't tote no Democrat line. I don't tote no Republican line. But I don't mind working with them because everybody's got something to bring to the table. But all my decisions are going to be based on what's for the city. I'm going to be routinely out in the community talking to folks, and getting the pulse of what's going on in the city. You don't have to fill out a bunch of paperwork, like you do with this administration, to come in and see me. And then I'll decide if I want to see you. I'm going to demand that people come out see me at these neighborhood meetings associations on a routine basis. I'll be at Herman's over here on Brown road every ...

How Will The Patriots Replenish Their Defensive Line

... which will create an obvious pressing need for the Patriots at defensive end. While Long was appreciative of his one-and-done championship run with Bill Belichick and the Pats, he is seeking an increased role with a new team. Sheard, meanwhile, appeared to fall out of favor with coaches after he was a healthy scratch in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49 ers and saw his snap count essentially cut in half down the stretch. So you can expect the Patriots to be in the market for a free-agent veteran defensive end, and with all of their cap space – more than $53.1 million as of Wednesday, according to Spotrac – they can afford to spend decent money on one. The Patriots would wade into the seldom-seen “big splash” territory if they busted out the checkbooks for Calais Campbell, easily the top edge defender on the market. But Campbell could fetch an AAV in the range of at least $8-12 million, even as a 30-year-old, so it’s safe to assume ...
