Jets release Le’Veon Bell

So much for the big comeback year.

Remember when people thought the Steelers were crazy for getting rid of Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell?

[Judge Jude]

the game has changed so much in recent years that these really are for amusement purposes only, and not a reflection of any sort of hierarchy of great NFL QBs (as you'll see)

in that spirit, here goes

Rank Player Yds
1 DREW BREES 78,747
2 TOM BRADY 75,946
3 Peyton Manning 71,940
4 Brett Favre + 71,838
5 Dan Marino+ 61,361
6 PHILIP RIVERS 60,498
7 BEN ROETHLISBERGER 57,561
8 Eli Manning 57,023
9 MATT RYAN 52,658
10 John Elway+ 51,475
11 Warren Moon+ 49,325
12 AARON RODGERS 48,160

18 MATTHEW STAFFORD 42,042

21 JOE FLACCO 40,278

Flacco is ahead of HOFers Unitas, Kelly, Young, Tittle, Aikman, Warner, Jurgensen, Dawson, Bradshaw....

The Falcons have anywhere from 1 to 4 positives, depending on where you read, and their Week 6 game vs Minnesota is in jeopardy.

Jets release Le’Veon Bell

The Chiefs signed RB Le'Veon Bell to a one-year contract.

Due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, Bell will be ineligible to suit up against the Bills on Monday. He needs five straight days of negative tests, and is then eligible to practice if he's negative on a sixth day "point of contact" test. Provided Bell can avoid getting the virus between now and next Wednesday, he will get in a full slate of practices ahead of the Chiefs' week 7 game with the Broncos.

And now the Colts with a few positive tests.

[madducks]

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is out.

Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (foot) is out.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (back) is out.

Colts Te Mo Alie-Cox (knee) is out.

The Chiefs signed RB Le'Veon Bell to a one-year contract.

Due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, Bell will be ineligible to suit up against the Bills on Monday.

Provided Bell can avoid getting the virus between now and next Wednesday, he will get in a full slate of practices ahead of the Chiefs' week 7 game with the Broncos.

Le'Veon Bell's contract is worth $690,000 with an additional $1 million in incentives.

And the Jets still owe Bell $6 million this year.

[Judge Jude]

apparently there is an offset with the bonuses, so the Jets would get a modest break.

[madducks]

In addition to the Falcons and Colts, the Eagles and Patriots have had players test positive in the last few days. The Patriots canceled their Friday practice after a positive COVID-19 test. This is starting to get ugly.

edit/clarification on the Eagles:
The Eagles have placed offensive lineman Matt Pryor on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He was in close contact with someone outside of the building who had the virus, a source said. He hasn’t tested positive himself yet. Team will go through the necessary protocol.

[madducks]

The Patriots reopened their practice facility after no positive test results this morning. The Patriots’ Week 6 game against the Broncos is on track to be played Sunday.

[madducks]

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (non-COVID illness) is out.

[madducks]

ESPN's Field Yates reports a player on the Jaguars’ practice squad tested positive for COVID-19.
