Titans owner stands behind 'future QB'

Aug 16, 2009

Then Titans owner Bud Adams showed he still has the back of his embattled quarterback, who turned in an impressive performance in a 27-20 preseason victory over the Buccaneers on Saturday night at LP Field.

Young helped erase what had been a sluggish night for the first-team offense. And in a visit to the locker room after the game, Adams said he still believes in the team's first-round pick from 2006.

Asked if there's any scenario in which Young is not on the roster this fall, Adams replied: "What do you mean not on the team? He's under contract. He is not going anywhere but right here. He is our future quarterback."

Adams said starting quarterback Kerry Collins "is getting some age on him, but he is still a great quarterback. But Vince is a young man and he can be a great quarterback before he gets through with his NFL career.''

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
