XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck said the league was keeping an eye on the battle between Lynch and Geno Smith for the backup quarterback job in Seattle because they’d want to have the loser join the upstart league.Bob Condotta of the reports that Lynch fell short in his bid for the job and will be released by the Seahawks. Lynch suffered a concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit by Vikings cornerback Holton Hill in the second preseason game and missed one contest before returning to play on Thursday night.Smith missed the game against Minnesota after having a cyst removed from his knee and got the start on Thursday night Trysten Hill Jersey , which was a sign that he was ahead in the competition to back up Russell Wilson this season. It will be his third backup job with as many teams in the last three years as he played for the Giants and Chargers since leaving the Jets after the 2016 season. The Buccaneers didn’t want to pay veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy $13 million in 2019. More importantly, no one else wanted to trade for McCoy’s contract.And that’s often the impetus for a trade. Yes, the new team wants the player. But the new team also prefers to surrender a draft pick or a player for the contract, in lieu of potentially having to pay even more in an open competition if/when the player is released.The fact that the Bucs couldn’t find a trade partner for McCoy means that no one wanted to give up anything of value for the privilege of getting McCoy at $13 million in compensation this season. Which suggests that McCoy http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-connor-mcgovern-jersey , on the open market, will have a hard time getting to that number.The Browns are the only team that had been linked to McCoy before he was released; if another team had been considering a trade for McCoy, that news surely would have emerged, if for no reason other than to create a real market for McCoy’s services — and ultimately to spark a deal.That’s not to say there aren’t other interested teams Tony Pollard Jersey , but if it were believed that McCoy would be a guy who commands significant dollars if available in free agency (, more than the $13 million he was due to make in 2019), the Bucs should have been able to trade him, somewhere.Spitballs regarding potentially interested teams already have emerged Noah Fant Jersey , likely pushed by the McCoy camp in order to spark a market for his services. Still, the Browns continue to be the only team that had been linked to McCoy. And without a second team to drive up the price, McCoy will have a hard time approaching the money he was due to make in 2019 from Tampa — especially with multiple other veteran defensive linemen still available to be signed.If McCoy somehow matches or surpasses it, the message will be that the Bucs bungled what should have been an ideal situation to trade not just the player but the contract.
