Arians reportedly educated his workers and players of his decision Wednesday night.

Arians is retiring immediately after eight seasons as an head mentor, 9 if you rely the 12 games he coached as the interim head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. There have been whispers of his potential retirement for many years, but couple observed it participating in out like this.

For every Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, groups would normally need to have to job interview at minimum two minority candidates for a head-coaching vacancy, but simply because of the timing of the transfer following the get started of the league 12 months, the use is authorized.

Todd Bowles’ second act as NFL head mentor

This will be Bowles’ 2nd stint as an NFL head coach, possessing formerly coached the New York Jets for four seasons. He amassed a 24-40 history in that span and in no way made the playoffs despite a 10-6 record his 1st calendar year.

Given that the Jets fired him, Bowles has observed his inventory soar back again up many thanks to his final results in Tampa Bay, which involved a Super Bowl ring in his second year.

2022 NFL free agency team-by-team grades: Raiders, Bills, Buccaneers, Chargers, Rams and Jets among winners

Bella

The 2022 NFL offseason is officially upon us. Several big-name quarterbacks found new homes ahead of the kickoff of the legal tampering period Monday, but now dozens of notable veterans are actually hitting the market, free to negotiate with other teams. From blockbuster moves to bargain-bin shopping, we’ve got you covered below with a running tracker of every team’s 2022 additions, including external signings and trade acquisitions:

Acquisitions:

It’s not that the players the Cardinals added or retained are bad; Conner and Ertz are vital to their offense. But paying those two a combined $50M+ on long-term deals? What is this, 2017? Arizona went all in on older and/or injury-prone veterans a year ago, but it’d be nice to see the team go a little greener if its gonna spend big money. It has also got pass rusher to address.

Locking up one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers is fine. But they’ve got lots of holes still to fill, especially if they plan on competing with Matt Ryan (or, somehow, Deshaun Watson) at QB. Letting Russell Gage walk may haunt them. They did recently take a step in the right direction by inking Casey Hayward to a two-year deal to be the team’s No. 2 corner. 

There are other areas (OL, DL) that need addressing, but Williams is a top-flight ball hawk who will instantly improve their defense in transition, especially alongside a healthier Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphrey, etc.

Von Miller will be a huge difference maker on defense. They basically swapped out Daryl Williams for Saffold, which isn’t an obvious upgrade. Settle is a solid pickup for the D-line, as is Howard for the offense.

Foreman gives them big-bodied insurance for Christian McCaffrey, which is smart. And Corbett is their best O-line investment in two years. Woods, meanwhile,

Antonio Brown throws Tom Brady and the Buccaneers under the bus in vulgar social media tirade

Bella

It’s been nearly two months since Antonio Brown was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and although all of that time has passed since the incident, the receiver still seems as mad as ever about being dumped. 

Brown took to social media on Monday to lodge another complaint against his former team. This time around, not only did the receiver throw the organization under the bus, but he also pinned some blame on Tom Brady for not throwing him the ball in Tampa Bay’s infamous game against the Jets that is now mostly remembered as the game where Brown took his shirt off while leaving the field. 

Here’s what Brown posted to Instagram on Monday (via the Tampa Bay Times): 

  • He blamed the Buccaneers for his injury: “They tried to hurt me intentionally. Sent me out there after knowing I was still hurt.”
  • He says that Brady lied to him: “Tom said he would throw it if I came to play hurt, I came. He didn’t throw it, imagine being hurt, having to play through this and being lied (to) too.”
  • He continues to insist that Bruce Arians made him play hurt: “Coach said if I couldn’t run on this, get the f–k out of there.”

He also ended his message with a vulgar sentence that involved the F-word and if you want to see his NSFW comments, you can click here. Basically, his latest social media tirade was a much more concise version of what he’s been complaining about since he was released. 

The battle between Brown and the Buccaneers has been a never-ending war of words since he was cut. Although Brown has insisted that Arians made him play with an injured ankle, the Buccaneers coach has denied that version of events. 

In late January,

Antonio Brown nevertheless on Buccaneers roster, but why?

Bella

That Bruce Arians line about Antonio Brown “no longer” being a Tampa Bay Buccaneer? It has however to arrive to fruition, and there is a likelihood it won’t right until immediately after the season is completed.

Two sources acquainted with ongoing conversations between the NFL, the Buccaneers and the NFL Gamers Association explained there has been dialogue about Brown’s outright release vs . an wounded reserve designation. The distinction in between the two centers on Brown’s opportunity availability to other teams. If he ended up to be launched, he would be matter to getting claimed off waivers by one more team for the remainder of this period, or turning into a cost-free agent if he were to move by waivers. 

On the other hand, if Brown were put on hurt reserve — most possible in reaction to his camp’s claim of an ankle issue — it would primarily set him aside for the remainder of the season and out of access of other teams. Tampa Bay could also look for to suspend Brown underneath the “Conduct Harmful to the Club” penalty.

If the Bucs do slash Brown fairly than positioning him on injured reserve, it appears unlikely (but not entirely extremely hard) that an additional staff will assert him on waivers. A number of large receiver-needy playoff groups strongly stated to Yahoo Sporting activities that they wouldn’t think about professing Brown soon after he stripped off his tools and shirt just before leaving the industry throughout the third quarter of Sunday’s video game between the Bucs and New York Jets.

The induce of that bizarre minute continues to be in some dispute, although it is obvious that Brown declined to enter the game when questioned by the coaching team. The purpose why now appears to be forming, with Brown’s camp
