Grüße und Vorstellung » spending four years

The Aaron Donald deal indeed seems to be pushing the Khalil Mack situation to a head. But not in the way many thought.

Many thought that Mack and the Raiders were simply waiting for Donald and the Rams to work out a new contract Darqueze Dennard Jersey , with Mack and the Raiders using that deal as the template for his. However, that’s never been the case; Mack and the Raiders aren’t and haven’t been talking, in months.

Donald’s deal has had a separate impact on Mack. It’s allowed other teams to figure out what Mack would take, allowing those who are interested in paying Mack what he wants to begin figuring out what it would take to get the Raiders to trade him.

Indeed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that a “robust” trade market has developed for Mack Zach Laskey Jersey , with the chances of a trade “very real.”

Last weekend, PFT reported that four teams had serious interest in Mack, and that the Raiders hadn’t slammed the door on a deal. This weekend, that door could swing wide open, with Mack exiting Oakland for a new team.

Coaches typically retire not long after the season ends. Fifty years ago today Stephen Anderson Jersey , arguably the most important person in NFL history abruptly walked away, at the age of 73.

The Chicago Tribune has republished the story regarding the retirement of George Halas as coach of the Bears.

“I have made this decision with considerable reluctance, but no regrets,” Halas said during a press conference described as “stunned” in the article written by George Strickler. “There was a strong temptation to continue for another season. Next year is the Bears’ golden jubilee and I would like to have been on the field in 1969 rounding out 50 years as a player and a coach. . . .聽But looking at practical realities, I am stepping aside now because I can no longer keep up with the physical demands of coaching the team on Sunday afternoons.”

Halas attributed the decision to an arthritic hip.

“I have always followed the ball — and the officials — up and down the field Nyheim Hines Jersey ,” Halas said. “A coach has to stay on top of the action to make decisions. I cannot do that any longer. . . .聽I supposed I began to realize this in one of our final games last season when I started rushing after the referee who was pacing off a penalty and it suddenly dawned on me that I wasn’t gaining on him. I began to wonder whether the officials were speeding up, or I was slowing down.”

Back in those days, when players had offseason jobs and the draft was the only thing that happened between late December and the launch of training camp, a late May retirement didn’t do much to affect a franchise. Jim Dooley took over for Halas, spending four years with the team and generating a record of 20-36.

In all Tony Dorsett Jersey , Halas coached the team for a total of 40 years. He remained active with the team he owned and founded until he died 15 years later, and his initials have appeared on the left sleeve of the team’s jersey since 1984.
