COLLEGE SPORTS

North Carolina can move forward Seahawks Ed Dickson Jersey , closing one of the most embarrassing chapters in the school’s history now that the long-running NCAA academic case has ended with UNC facing no penalty.

Still, even with what had to be the best possible outcome – a weight being lifted that has loomed over the Chapel Hill campus for years – school officials greeted the news more with cautious relief than exuberance.

”This isn’t a time of celebration,” chancellor Carol Folt said in a conference call with reporters.

The NCAA said an infractions committee panel determined it ”could not conclude” there were academic violations by the school in the scandal focused on irregular courses featuring significant athlete enrollments.

The school had faced five serious charges – including lack of institutional control – and the possibility of major sanctions such as postseason bans or vacated wins and championships. Yet the case full of starts, stops and twice-rewritten charges reached a best-case-scenario conclusion with the panel’s Friday report.

SOCCER

NEW YORK (AP) Bruce Arena quickly resigned as U.S. coach after the Americans’ failure to qualify for the World Cup. U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati is staying around, at least for now.

Arena quit three days after the ruinous 2-1 loss at 99th-ranked Trinidad and Tobago that ended the Americans’ streak of seven straight World Cup appearances.

”There’s no point in me being around http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/d.j.-fluker-jersey ,” Arena said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. ”I’m not going to be around for the next cycle. The only thing I regret, obviously, is not having a cycle with the team, because you need more time than 10 months with a team. But I knew that in advance of it, so I’m responsible for it.”

The USSF Cheap Mason Rudolph Jersey , which will miss the World Cup for the first time since 1986, said it will announce within 10 days an interim coach for planned exhibition games next month.

Gulati, speaking during a telephone news conference, said he did not plan to resign. He said it was not the right time to talk about whether he will seek a fourth four-year term Feb. 10 during the federation’s annual meeting but did say in recent weeks he had sent letters to people seeking to be nominated.

Gulati said the federation held a board meeting Thursday night and will seek ”outside expertise” as it evaluates what went wrong.

UNDATED (AP) – A villa valued at seven million euros ($8.3 million) on an Italian island was allegedly how a Qatari television executive bribed a top FIFA official.

Italian police said Friday they seized the luxury property in Sardinia they claim Nasser al-Khelaifi, who is also president of Paris Saint-Germain Cheap Kyzir White Jersey , made available to former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke.

Details of the alleged corruption were revealed one day after Swiss federal prosecutors oversaw evidence-gathering raids in four European countries for a widening investigation of FIFA and the 2018-2022 World Cup bidding contests won by Russia and Qatar.

Criminal proceedings have been opened against Al-Khelaifi and Valcke for suspected bribery and forgery linked to awarding broadcast rights for the next four World Cups.

PRO FOOTBALL

DALLAS (AP) – Attorneys for Ezekiel Elliott have indicated they intend to ask for another hearing before the federal appeals court that cleared the way for the NFL’s six-game suspension of the star Dallas Cowboys running back over domestic violence allegations.

Players’ union attorney Jeffrey Kessler wrote to a federal judge in New York that Elliott’s legal team would pursue a hearing before a larger panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

A three-judge panel voted 2-1 to grant the NFL’s request to overrule a Texas court’s injunction that had blocked the suspension. The ruling also ordered the Texas court to dismiss Elliott’s lawsuit.

Barring another ruling in Elliott’s favor, the suspension will start Oct. 22 at San Francisco. The Cowboys are off this week.

BASEBALL

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – A flight carrying the Chicago Cubs to Los Angeles was diverted to New Mexico early Friday due to a medical issue on board.

The plane was on its way to California again within a few hours.

Albuquerque International Sunport spokesman Daniel Jiron said the plane landed in Albuquerque around 5:30 a.m. Friday and a passenger was taken to the hospital. The Cubs said the person was a player’s family member.

Jiron said the crew flying the plane ”timed out” and didn’t have any more flying time left, so a second crew had to be brought in to take the flight to Los Angeles. He said the plane left Albuquerque around 10:30 a.m.

The Cubs are set to play the Dodgers on Saturday in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.

OLYMPICS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – The prospect of a U.S. bid for the Winter Olympics is less a matter of ”if” and more a matter of ”when.”

The U.S. Olympic Committee board is moving forward with discussions about bringing the Winter Games to America for either 2026 or 2030.

Because Los Angeles was recently awarded the 2028 Summer Games Jaguars Logan Cooke Jersey , a bid for 2030 would make more sense, chairman Larry Probst said after the USOC board’s quarterly meeting.

But the USOC needs more information about the International Olympic Committee’s process for awarding the next Olympics. The 2026 Games are set to be awarded in 2019, but the IOC could decide to award the 2030 Games at that time, as wel.

SANTA CLARA http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/chris-herndon-jersey , Calif. (AP) The attorney for the ex-girlfriend of Reuben Foster said Wednesday that her client initially lied to authorities when she accused the San Francisco 49ers linebacker of hitting her leading to domestic violence charges.

Attorney Stephanie Rickard issued a statement on behalf of Elissa Ennis that said her client can prove the injuries in February that led to the charges were not caused by Foster.

”(Foster) did not strike her, injure her or threaten her,” Rickard said.

Article continues below ...

Rickard said Ennis’ injuries were the result of a fight with another woman, and that Foster tried to end his relationship with Ennis after he learned of the fight. A video of that fight with another woman has been made available.

”She was extremely upset and told him if he broke up with her she would `trash his career Cheap Vinny Curry Jersey ,”’ Rickard said.

Richard said that Ennis went back to the district attorney after she realized what she had done and tried to recant what she had told deputies. Ennis apologized to anyone harmed in the case, especially Foster.

The district attorney’s office declined to comment.

Prosecutors said earlier this month Foster attacked his girlfriend in February at their Los Gatos home, leaving her bruised and with an injured eardrum.

The 28-year-old woman told responding officers that Foster dragged her by her hair, physically threw her out of the house http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/danny-shelton-jersey , and punched her in the head eight to 10 times.

Foster was also charged with felony possession of an assault weapon after officers found a Sig Sauer 516 short-barreled rifle in his home while investigating his girlfriend’s domestic violence report.

If convicted on all charges, He faces up to 11 years in prison.

Foster has not been allowed to participate in the 49ers’ offseason program while dealing with the case. General manager John Lynch said earlier this week that the team would be patient but that Foster would be released if they determined he hit a woman.

”The gravity of these charges has not been lost on us,” Lynch said Monday. ”We take it extremely seriously. We do feel like patience is the right approach right now. We’re going to learn things through this legal process. I do want to be very clear, abundantly clear Jaguars Ronnie Harrison Jersey , that if these charges are proven true, if Reuben indeed hit this young lady, he won’t be a part of our organization going forward.”

The 49ers drafted Foster 31st overall last year after questions about his health and character caused him to drop from being a possible top 10 pick.

Foster delivered on the field, ranking second on the team with 72 tackles in 10 games as a rookie and looking like a key part of San Francisco’s defensive future.

Foster then was charged in January in Alabama with second-degree marijuana possession before the incident in February that led to the most recent charges.

FLORHAM PARK Cheap Chris Herndon Jersey , N.J. (AP) The New York Jets have reached the point in their season where they might not be able to overcome another loss.

Sitting at 4-6 but still in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot, Todd Bowles’ bunch has little room to spare. So, when the coach was asked if he thought the Jets need to win all of their last six games to make the postseason, Bowles was, well, blunt.

”Excuse the language, but that’s probably a no-(expletive) statement,” he said. ”We try to win every game.”

Article continues below ...

That has http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/trent-brown-jersey , of course, been the mantra all season. And, it’s one every NFL team follows.

But the Jets have the surging Carolina Panthers (7-3) up next on Sunday, followed by another home game next weekend against the suddenly struggling Kansas City Chiefs (6-4). New York ends its season with three of its last four games on the road, so taking care of home turf now is imperative for the Jets.

”Now, it’s hit or miss,” said linebacker Jordan Jenkins, who agreed with the coach’s assessment. ”There’s no `got to find a way.’ It has to happen. That’s the fact of the matter.”

The Jets’ situation appeared to take an ominous turn with a 15-10 loss at Tampa Bay on Nov. 12. But 49ers Jeremiah Attaochu Jersey , they found themselves right in the mix again a week later while on their bye-week break when Buffalo (5-5), Miami (4-6) and Oakland (4-6) all lost.

They could easily find themselves in a deep hole, though, with another loss. So, New York has a playoff-like mentality – which Bowles insisted the Jets had as soon as the regular season kicked off.

”We were like that Week 1,” he said. ”It didn’t start now. We’re like that Week 1. We’re like that every week. We try to win every ballgame. Carolina is up next and that’s the ballgame we’re trying to win. We don’t look past the next game. So, we’re just looking at Carolina.”

Jenkins said the inconsistencies in the Jets’ season can be seen when the players watch film. There are the good moments, such as the three-game winning streak early in the season and the domination of Buffalo on Thursday Night Football in front of prime-time audience on Nov. 2.

And then 49ers Korey Toomer Jersey , there are the embarrassing moments, including the blown leads in three straight losses to New England, Miami and Atlanta.

”We see where we can be if we just find a way to get it all to click together,” Jenkins said. ”It (stinks) when we watch past performances seeing us do well and then the other times we don’t do well.”

The Jets remain hopeful, and surprisingly confident, that they can put a few more positives on film during this stretch run.

”As a team, we’re still together,” cornerback Morris Claiborne said. ”We know what’s going on right now. We know that we’re still in this thing. We’ve just got to take care of our business on Sunday and the weeks after that.”

NOTES: The Jets re-signed WR-KR Lucky Whitehead to the practice squad. Whitehead appeared likely to make the active roster out of training camp Giants B.J. Hill Jersey , but broke a foot in mid-August. He was waived/injured, placed on IR and then cut by the Jets in September. ”He’s just somebody we liked early on,” Bowles said. ”As he’s getting closer to getting healthy, we wanted to make sure nobody else got him and we got a look at him. So, we signed him back.” Bowles said Whitehead is ”maybe a week or so” away from being completely healthy. … New York also signed TE Zach Conque to the practice squad, and released CB Michael Hunter and LB Jeremy Cash from the practice squad.

KANSAS CITY http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/ryan-jensen-jersey , Mo. (AP) Kareem Hunt stood in front of his locker room and mused about an up-and-down season, one that was highlighted by five straight wins and low-lighted by six losses in a seven-game stretch.

One that is suddenly looking up again, too.

The Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins 29-13 on Sunday for their third straight victory, clinching back-to-back AFC West titles for the first time in franchise history and ensuring Kansas City would get another game at Arrowhead Stadium to start off the new year.

Article continues below ...

”Honestly, we had a lot of up and downs,” said Hunt, who ran for 91 yards and a score in ending the Dolphins’ own playoff hopes. ”We started off hot, went through a stretch, had to bring it back together, play as a team – play hard. And we just took advantage of these opportunities, play by play Cheap Danny Shelton Jersey , and we’re back on the road to the playoffs.”

The Chiefs (9-6) head to their regular-season finale at Denver next week knowing they can rest their biggest names for the playoffs, a luxury of wrapping up the division a week early.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who donned a Santa Claus suit to address his team in the postgame locker room, said he hasn’t decided what he’ll do for the largely meaningless game against the Broncos.

”It gives you flexibility,” Reid said, ”it does do that.”

For now, Reid wants his team to cherish a Christmas Eve victory that was dominant in all phases.

Alex Smith threw for 304 yards and a TD. Tyreek Hill had six catches for 109 yards. Harrison Butker knocked through five field goals. And cornerback Marcus Peters had a hand in two fumbles, giving him a piece of five turnovers in two games since his return from a disciplinary suspension.

”It’s huge. Everybody don’t get a chance to have a seat at the table postseason,” veteran Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said with a grin. ”We get a chance to sit down, break bread with everybody and hopefully we can be greedy.”

One of those teams that missed a chance? The Dolphins.

Miami (6-9) needed to beat the Chiefs at frosty Arrowhead Stadium and have six other scenarios break their way to reach the postseason, but couldn’t take care of the first order of business.

”I definitely feel like we left some games out there Cheap Chris Herndon Jersey ,” said wide receiver Kenny Stills, who had one of the Dolphins’ two fumbles. ”We have no one to blame but ourselves.”

As the Chiefs press on and the Dolphins get ready for their finale, here are some takeaways:

THOUSANDS OF MILESTONES: TE Travis Kelce surpassed 1,000 yards receiving, giving the Chiefs two 1,000-yard pass catchers and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season for the first time. Kelce now has 1,038 yards and Hill has 1,183 yards through the air, while Hunt has 1,292 yards on the ground.

AND THOUSANDS MORE: Smith surpassed the 4 49ers Jeff Locke Jersey ,000-yard passing mark for the first time in his career, a nice feather in the cap of quarterback often criticized for being a game manager. He also threw his 26th touchdown pass on Sunday against just five interceptions. ”The thing I’m most pumped about is the whole offense, all together,” he said. ”To hit 4,000 passing as a quarterback, that all going on at once, I think is the most special part. Everyone involved.”

RUN STUFFERS: Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake was coming off back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances, but was held to just 57 yards on 13 carries. Part of that was the fact that Miami spent most of the game playing from behind, but part of it was the Chiefs’ game plan. ”Our plan was to stop the run,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. ”We did that and we started to have some fun.”

TEMPER, TEMPER: The Dolphins’ frustration appeared to boil over when wide receiver Jarvis Landry and coach Adam Gase appeared to get into a sideline yelling match late in the game. ”It’s normal for anybody to show frustration at that point Cheap Rick Leonard Jersey , understanding that this is our season,” Landry said. ”I’m sure you guys would be frustrated as well. But I wasn’t yelling at Adam or trying to show him up.”

FLAG ON THE PLAY: The Dolphins have been crushed by penalties all season, and they had 11 for 75 yards against the Chiefs. But the most costly came on defense, including four holding penalties that all occurred on scoring drives. ”We started moving things forward and then all of sudden we started to shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties,” said Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant, who had a 65-yard touchdown reception. ”We’ve just got to get those corrected.”

HOUSTON (AP) With Deshaun Watson’s year done Cheap Michael Dickson Jersey , the Houston Texans will look to Tom Savage to try and salvage their season.

Coach Bill O’Brien confirmed that Watson was out for the season on Friday, a day after the star rookie quarterback tore the anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees during practice. O’Brien said he didn’t have any other details on the injury, and wouldn’t say if Watson will have surgery.

A fiery O’Brien brushed aside the notion that Watson’s injury signaled doom for this team.

Article continues below ...

”We’re not going to give in to what’s out there – (that) the demise of the Houston Texans is upon us,” he said. ”Like that’s ridiculous. We’re going to show up and fight and play.”

Savage started the season opener, but he was benched at halftime in favor of Watson, who started each game since. Savage will make his fourth career start when the Texans host the Colts on Sunday.

”You can’t really replace Deshaun Watson. You know what I mean,” Savage said. ”The kid’s been playing absolutely lights out. But that’s not my job. My job is to go out there and help this team win and do whatever I can to help.”

Watson was in the locker room before practice on Friday Cheap Danny Shelton Jersey , but a team official said he didn’t want to speak to reporters. He later released a long statement on Twitter .

”I promise that I will continue to work diligently so that this team can one day bring a championship to Houston,” he wrote. ”And when I return I will be better, stronger and more focused than ever before! Now the grind begins.”

Watson’s injury is the latest setback to a team that dealt with Hurricane Harvey before losing three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt and linebacker Whitney Mercilus to season-ending injuries on Oct. 8. Last week, owner Bob McNair apologized for saying ”we can’t have the inmates running the prison” during a meeting of NFL owners about players who protest by kneeling during the national anthem.

Savage said O’Brien’s leadership has helped make these trying times easier on the players.

”Ultimately he’s communicated with us. That’s the one thing,” he said. ”He didn’t act like none of this stuff was going on. I think it would be easy to be like: `Hey, we have practice at nine. We’ll see you out there.’ But he communicated with us. He’s one of the guys and he truly is a player’s coach. And that’s what we’ve all appreciated.”

Watson, who won a national championship at Clemson last season Cheap Lorenzo Carter Jersey , had been a bright spot in a tough season for the Texans (3-4). The 12th overall pick in this year’s draft was the AFC offensive player of the month after throwing for 1,171 yards with 16 touchdowns and running for 145 yards and another score.

”He’s a very special player. He’s a special kid. He’s got a great future,” O’Brien said. ”These things happen. They’re tough when they happen, but they happen … but in the short time they played for us, it’s obvious … and also the type of guy that he is, that he will be one of the top quarterbacks in this league for a long time.”

His teammates described the moment Watson was injured on a non-contact play.

”I saw him go down,” receiver Bruce Ellington said. ”He got right up Cheap Trent Brown Jersey , so I didn’t think anything would happen … we just thought he was going to get it checked out, and everything was going to be OK. And then we heard the bad news.”

Players were quick to point out that they don’t have time to feel sorry for themselves.

”With football, comes adversity. We understand that,” left tackle Chris Clark. ”And it’s always one of those things you just have to endure … we practice for this. This is what we do. This is what we get paid to do. So next guy up, just step in there, and we keep the wheels moving.”

Houston has signed T.J. Yates, who was with the team in 2011-13 and 2015 Saints Natrell Jamerson Jersey , and O’Brien said he would back up Savage on Sunday. O’Brien added that they would also sign Matt McGloin, who played for him at Penn State.

BALTIMORE (AP) Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was dazed and bleeding as he was helped off the field.

Diagnosed with a concussion after absorbing a late hit by Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso late in the second quarter Buccaneers Vinny Curry Jersey , Flacco was taken to the locker room and did not return.

Fortunately for the Ravens, they didn’t need him in a 40-0 rout of the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Article continues below ...

Alex Collins ran for a career-high 113 yards, and Baltimore (4-4) returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the most lopsided shutout in franchise history.

In the midst of one of his best performances of the season, Flacco was hit high by Alonso while sliding at the end of an impromptu run. Flacco’s helmet flew off his head, and the 10-year quarterback appeared wobbly as he struggled to his feet.

Alonso was flagged for unnecessary roughness, providing Baltimore with a first down that ultimately turned into a touchdown.

Flacco was initially placed in concussion protocol http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/isaiah-oliver-jersey , and by halftime was ruled out.

”Joe had a concussion and a cut ear,” coach John Harbaugh said. ”They were stitching it up without any anesthesia, so he’s a tough dude. That’s as much as I know.”

Flacco went 10 for 15 for 101 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin.

After losing four of five to fall under .500 for the first time this season, the Ravens put it all together with a showing that included a 63-yard interception return by C.J. Mosley and a 50-yard pick-six by Jimmy Smith.

”We coached a lot better, obviously. And we played a lot better http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/byron-maxwell-jersey ,” Harbaugh said. ”It was just a much better game for us.”

The Dolphins (4-3) came in with a three-game winning streak after rallying from 17- and 14-point deficits in the previous two weeks. There would be no comeback in this one, not against a swarming Baltimore defense that limited Miami to 196 yards.

Matt Moore was making his first start of the season, for an injured Jay Cutler. Four days earlier, Moore engineered a victory over the Jets after Cutler left with fractured ribs.

In this one, Moore completed 25 of 44 passes for 176 yards. He was sacked three times, and both his interceptions turned into scores for Baltimore.

”This is tough. These are hard ones http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/tanner-lee-jersey ,” Moore said. ”You don’t ever go into a week preparing and expect it to turn out like this. I don’t know what to say right now. It’s just tough, tough. We got to figure some stuff out. I got to figure some stuff out.”

Moore received little backing from the running game, which generated only 45 yards against the 32nd-ranked rushing defense in the NFL.

”It was inept. We’re not doing anything,” Miami coach Adam Gase said.

Baltimore went up 7-0 when Maclin slipped behind Bobby McCain and Nate Allen to haul in Flacco’s perfect pass on the right sideline.

Justin Tucker added field goals of 55 and 48 yards in the second quarter. After Cody Parkey missed from 50 yards for the Dolphins – his first misfire in nine tries this season – Flacco began the drive that would end in the end zone without him.

The late hit by Alonso gave Baltimore a first down at the Miami 5. Three plays later, Ryan Mallett threw a 2-yard TD pass to Benjamin Watson.

Mosley iced it with 14:15 left when he snared a poor throw by Moore near the line of scrimmage and turned it into his first career interception return for a touchdown.

As the Ravens were closing in on another score, a few players exchanged shoves and punches before Chris Moore pounced on a fumble in the end zone.

Overseeing an offense focused on protecting a sizable lead http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/kerryon-johnson-jersey , Mallett went 3 for 7 for 20 yards.

CAT NAP

A cat ran onto the field in the fourth quarter, providing some amusement after the game had lost all suspense.

The feline reached the Miami sideline and skipped around a bit before running out of sight.

INJURIES

Dolphins: Allen hurt his calf in the second quarter and did not return.

Ravens: TE Vince Mayle was placed in concussion protocol in the second quarter. … LT Ronnie Stanley hurt his shoulder in the third quarter but returned to action.

Two months after a winless season mercifully ended, new general manager John Dorsey addressed major roster needs Friday by acquiring mobile quarterback Tyrod Taylor in a deal with Buffalo, wide receiver Jarvis Landry from Miami and cornerback Damarious Randall from Green Bay, a person with direct knowledge of the overhaul told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Teams are not permitted to announce any trades until next week.

In exchange, the Browns shipped quarterback DeShone Kizer and swapped late-round picks with the Packers, gave the Dolphins a fourth-round pick this season and a seventh rounder in 2019 and sent the Bills the No. 65 overall pick in this year’s draft.

All in a day’s work for Dorsey http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/russell-bodine-jersey , who brought in major talent without giving up any of the team’s five picks in the first two rounds this year.

And the makeover came as the team awaits word from Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas on his future. Thomas, who played more than 10,000 straight snaps before tearing his left triceps last season, is mulling retirement.

The Browns gave him more to think about.

Not long after Dorsey’s trifecta, Thomas tweeted: ”(at)Browns are en fuego!! Here’s to John Dorsey tonight!!

The acquisition of Taylor would seem to change Cleveland’s plans to pursue a veteran quarterback in free agency, which begins Monday when teams are permitted to contact agents. It was assumed the Browns would target Cincinnati’s AJ McCarron, whom they tried to land in a trade last season before the deal was squelched when the teams failed to properly file paperwork to the league.

McCarron wants to start and it’s unlikely he would want to compete with Taylor, who led the Bills to their first postseason appearance since 1999. The dynamic Taylor, who finished with a 23-21 record in three seasons with Buffalo Raiders Martavis Bryant Jersey , can affect the game as a passer or runner and he’s the type of quarterback Browns coach Hue Jackson has sought since coming to Cleveland.

However, even with Taylor around, the Browns are still expected to select a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft and Dorsey and his staff are in the process of deciding if that’s Southern Cal’s Sam Darnold, UCLA’s Josh Rosen, Wyoming’s Josh Allen or Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy winner who scares some Cleveland fans because of his Johnny Manziel-like showmanship.

Cleveland’s next starting quarterback will be the team’s 29th since 1999.

But unlike Kizer, who led the NFL with 22 interceptions, went 0-15 and went through numerous growing pains as a rookie starter, Taylor will have offensive weapons around him.

Landry is as good as they get.

The 25-year-old http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/carlton-davis-jersey , who caught a league-best 112 passes last season, immediately upgrades a Cleveland offense that finished last in scoring and didn’t have any player who threatened a defense until wide receiver Josh Gordon made his late return from an indefinite NFL suspension. With Gordon on the outside, Landry in the slot and Taylor behind center, the Browns have the makings of a potent attack.

Landry signed a $16 million, one-year franchise tag Thursday with Miami, clearing the path for his trade. The Dolphins began shopping him when the parties were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract, which he’s likely to get from the Browns.

A big contract could help calm the sometimes volatile Landry, whose 400 receptions are the most by any player in his first four seasons.

”Y’all better understand (stuff) about to get SERIOUS… ON MY MAMA,” Landry posted on Twitter shortly after news that he was Cleveland bound broke.

The additions of Taylor and Landry certainly must have thrilled new Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/christian-kirk-jersey , who was fired in Pittsburgh following the Steelers‘ divisional-round playoff loss. Haley spent the past six seasons working with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell. All Cleveland needs is a breakaway running back and the Browns could get one with the No. 4 overall pick if Penn State’s Saquon Barkley is still around.

Dorsey also took care of defensive coordinator Gregg Williams by acquiring Randall, a former first-round pick who was inactive for the Packers’ final two games last season with a knee injury.

Randall started 30 games in three years for the Packers, who drafted him with the No. 30 overall pick in 2015. He had some injuries issues – and a visible spat with the team – in 2017, but finished the year as Green Bay’s best cover cornerback. He was benched in the second half of a Sept. 28 game against Chicago by coach Mike McCarthy, who sent him to the locker room.

Cleveland’s secondary was a mess last season after the club decided to waive veteran cornerback Joe Haden.

Dorsey’s remodeling of the Browns is far from finished. Before the trades, Cleveland was $113 million under the salary cap and the team figures to remain busy next week.

But after an historic losing season, the wins don’t feel as far away.
