NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Everyone trying to figure out what the Tennessee Titans will do with the 11th overall pick in the draft points to one position: quarterback.Ryan Tannehill turns 35 in July after ending last season on injured reserve with an ankle problem that cost him five games, including the last three, while the Titans endured a brutal close to the season and fell short of a third straight AFC South title. He also is in the final year of a contract that’s set to pay him $27 million and cost $36.6 million against the salary cap. New general manager Ran Carthon was hired in January after Jon Robinson was fired with the Titans leading the NFL in consecutive seasons using the most players because of injuries. Carthon and the Titans have looked at all the top quarterbacks available in the draft starting April 27. Carthon insists it’s due diligence.“You guys just have to accept the fact that Ryan is under contract for us, and right now he’s a Titan and he...

BOSTON (AP) — Minnesota Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda was hit by a 111 mph line drive in the left ankle and came out of Thursday’s game against Boston after two innings.Maeda stayed on his feet long enough to field the ball and throw Jarren Duran out at first for the third out of the inning. The pitcher then crumpled to the grass, and the Twins training staff rushed out to help him.After a few minutes, Maeda walked off to the dugout. The team announced that he had a left ankle bruise and was getting X-Rays.Emilio Pagan came in to start the third. The Red Sox led 1-0 when Maeda came out thanks to Alex Verdugo’s solo homer in the first — the only hit Maeda allowed.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Trade-ups for quarterbacks becoming more common in NFL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:28:56 GMT

Tired of spending years in the quarterback wilderness, shuffling in a string of mostly ineffective veterans at the game’s most important position, the Carolina Panthers made a bold move that has been all too common in recent years.The Panthers packaged two first-round picks, two second-round picks and star receiver D.J. Moore to move up from No. 9 in the draft to the top overall selection to give Carolina the pick of the lot at quarterback in next week’s draft.“You go get the guy that you want,” Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer said before making the move. “If you have a conviction on a guy, you go get him.”Whether that guy is betting favorite from FanDuel Sportsbook Bryce Young, or one of the three other QBs projected to go in the first round — C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson or Will Levis — won’t be known for certain until next Thursday night.This marks the first time since 2016 that a team traded the top pick, with the Rams trading up to take Jared Goff t...

Stroud, Anthony Richardson or Will Levis.The history of these moves has been mixed with several success stories such as Kansas City getting Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo moving up for Josh Allen, as well as failures such as Chicago moving up for Mitch Trubisky.Here’s a look at some of the best and worst recent moves to trade up to draft a quarterback:HITSChiefs trading up for Mahomes in 2017. No draft-day trade had a bigger impact on the game today than the one Kansas City made in 2017. Fresh off back-to-back playoff berths with Alex Smith at quarterback, Kansas City wanted an upgrade and dealt the 27th overall pick, along with a third-rounder and a 2018 first-rounder to Buffalo to ...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has been busy building a roster that can win now.He’s packaged up numerous 2023 picks to bring in high-profile players such as Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, which helped the Dolphins to a 9-8 record last season and a playoff appearance as first-year head coach Mike McDaniel and an improved Tua Tagovailoa led the way.The Dolphins have made it clear that simply making the playoffs is not enough, and McDaniel and Grier have both spoken about their willingness to trade draft capital to bring in experienced players who can immediately make a difference.The Dolphins made a big splash in free agency, addressing several needs on their roster and landing star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to bolster their secondary.“When we recognized an opportunity, we jumped on it,” McDaniel said. “And I think to Chris Grier’s credit and Brandon Shore’s credit, they were able to get a fair deal.”Miami has just four picks to work w...
