giving WR Stefon Diggs a five-year extension with a total value of $81 million
that includes just over $40 million in guaranteed money, per source. Diggs has
not had a 100-catch nor 1000-yard season, but he has lots of ability.— Adam
Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 31, 2018The 24-year-old Diggs has been Minnesota's
best wide receiver in each of the last three seasons. As Schefter noted above,
he hasn't get broke 1,000 receiving yards
Youth
Carlton Davis Jersey , but Diggs has come close twice. He had 903
receiving yards in 2016 despite missing three games, and 849 in 2017 (Diggs
missed two games).So if healthy, Diggs has shown the ability to become a
1,000-yard receiver. And with the Vikings landing prized quarterback free agent
Kirk Cousins in the offseason, Diggs will have the best quarterback of his young
career. Add it all up, and Diggs may have a career year in 2018.Though Diggs
garnered a reputation around the league as one of the better up-and-coming
wideouts
Customized Buffalo Bills
Jerseys , he's already best remembered for his play in the 2017 NFC
Divisional Round. With the Vikings trailing the New Orleans SaintsWith the
Vikings trailing by a point and only 10 seconds remaining on the clock,
quarterback Case Keenum found Diggs on the sidelines. Somehow, Saints safety
Marcus Williams missed the tackle and ducked under Diggs, allowing the latter to
run to the end zone for a 61-yard walk off touchdown. The play was later known
as 'The Minneapolis Miracle', and Diggs has already cemented himself in Viking
lore. With a shiny new contract, Diggs and the Vikings will try and take it to
the next level in 2018.Diggs' extension comes a month after the Vikings gave
defensive end Danielle Hunter a $72 million contract extension. GM Rick Spielman
has been among the busiest this offseason
Brian
Urlacher Jersey Youth , also signing the aforementioned Cousins and
Pro Bowl defensive lineman, Sheldon Richardson.The Vikings are banking on a
breakout year from Diggs in 2018, as the new contract shows. With Cousins coming
to town, the sky is the limit for this Minnesota offense. Zac Taylor has been
named the Los Angeles Rams’ quarterbacks coach.
The NFC West champion Rams swiftly promoted from within on Tuesday to replace
Greg Olson, who left to become Jon Gruden’s offense coordinator with the Oakland
Raiders.
The 34-year-old Taylor spent last season as an assistant wide receivers coach
on Sean McVay’s staff in Los Angeles. Taylor was the Miami Dolphins’
quarterbacks coach from 2013-15, doubling up in his final season as the
offensive coordinator.
Taylor started 26 games in two seasons as Nebraska’s quarterback from
2005-06.
Taylor is the third position coach in three seasons for Jared Goff. McVay
doesn’t anticipate the upheaval to cause a problem http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-martavis-bryant-jersey ,
since McVay and offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur are sticking around.
