Jamaal Charles signs 1-year deal with Denver Broncos

Jamaal Charles will get two shots against his former team in 2017 because he's staying in the AFC West.
The former Kansas City Chiefs running back signed a one-year contract with the Broncos, the team announced Tuesday. The deal is worth up to $3.75 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
General manager John Elway publicly welcomed Charles to Denver, via Twitter:
The Broncos were in need of a running back to complement C.J. Anderson after trading Kapri Bibbsto San Francisco in exchange for a fourth-round selection in the 2018 draft. Last year's fourth-round pick, Devontae Booker, was a disappointment as a rookie, averaging a scant 3.5 yards per on 174 carries.
"I always wanted to play for Denver," Charles said Tuesday. "I still feel like I can still play ball."
Charles acknowledged during a Tuesday conference call that his knee was simply never ready to play last season. After a vigorous offseason rehab, though, he's now confident in his knees, declaring himself ready to go.

New offensive coordinator Mike McCoy's vision for Charles is catching passes out of the backfield and attacking defenses up the middle, NFL Network's James Palmer noted after listening to the running back's conference call.
What can the Broncos expect out of a declining running back back coming off of surgeries to both knees in November?
Charles was a bellcow burner in Kansas City, possessing top-end speed and a guarantee to gain chunks of yards. Although he owns the highest yards-per-carry average in NFL history, it's fair to wonder how much is left in the tank after recurring knee injuries wiped out the majority of his past two seasons.

Charles tore his right ACL in 2015 and was slow to return to game action in 2016. The twin knee operations ended his campaign after just 12 carries in three games.

The 30-year-old recently posted a video showing agility work, hoping to quell worries about his health. The Broncos mandated that Charles pass a physical before putting pen to paper on a new contract.

"It's not about money," Charles said. "It's not what you see, it's what you don't see. A lot of people see me [being done]. I see me going out there, helping the team win and helping the team get to the playoffs and get to the Super Bowl. That's what I see. I see things that are just in my fate."

Jerry Jones donates $1 million to Harvey relief efforts

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It only makes sense  Dez Bryant  would be the one to  receive  news of the  Dallas Cowboys ' generous donation for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The  Cowboys  held a Salvation Army telethon Thursday at AT&T Stadium to raise money for people affected by the hurricane, and owner Jerry Jones called in to make his donation of $1 million. The person on the other side of the phone:  Dez Bryant . "I thought I was setting Dez up, but he set me up on the conversation, which he's pretty good at doing," Jones told NFL Network's Jane Slater. "Dez likes to get involved in his own business. We've had a couple negations over the years. It was a lot of fun. I'm so rewarded to see these players that understand how they're helping people with their interest and celebrity." The  Cowboys  and the Jon...

Steelers' Martavis Bryant cleared for regular season

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ Martavis Bryant  is officially back. The  Steelers  wide receiver has been cleared for regular-season practices and games, the NFL announced Friday in a statement. Bryant was conditionally reinstated in April after missing the entire 2016 campaign for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse. In August, the NFL announced that the third-year pass-catcher was permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last month that Bryant was required by the league to continue attending mandatory counseling sessions in order to gain full reinstatement for the regular season. Bryant clearly checked that box, leaving Pittsburgh with full use of a player who has emerged as one of football's most dangerous red-zone weapons. As fello...

Browns release quarterback Brock Osweiler

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It's over for  Brock Osweiler  in Cleveland. In a move that comes as little surprise, the  Browns  have released the veteran quarterback they traded for in March as part of an unusual deal with the  Texans , a source informed of the move told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Going from a featured starter during the preseason to an exiled ghost, Osweiler didn't even see the field in Cleveland's final two preseason bouts as the team explored trade options until the end. Set to make a whopping $16 million guaranteed this season, Osweiler was rough-and-tumble trade bait from the start. After all, the cap-rich  Browns  only swapped for the signal-caller and his massive salary as a way to acquire Houston's 2018 second-round draft pick -- an ultra-rare NFL deal th...
