Keeler: Broncos won Day 1 of NFL free agency. Why mess that up by trading Jerry Jeudy now?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:38:38 GMT

Sean Payton isn’t tipping his hand. He’s swinging it like a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.“From a scouting standpoint, from a drafting standpoint, (he was) not afraid to say, ‘We made a mistake,’” former Saints star Deuce McAllister told me last month when I asked for a scouting report on the new Broncos coach.“What I mean by that is, drafting someone and they get beat out, if they get outplayed by a player who’s not a draft pick, or somebody that’s a free agent. You kind of have to earn it with (Payton).”The Broncos came roaring out of Day 1 of the NFL’s legal tampering period like Secretariat, stomping out old fires and backfilling across the board.Offensive line? Upgrade. QB2? Upgrade. TE2? Upgrade. Alex Singleton? Back in the fold. Who knew shopping with Rob Walton’s credit card was going to be this much stinking fun?Whatever it costs to chisel and hammer this franchise into Payton’s image, go to town. When you haven’t made the playoffs in seven seasons and haven’t posted ...

Artturi Lehkonen breaks finger in return to Montreal, will require surgery after Avalanche’s 8-4 win over Canadiens

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:38:38 GMT

MONTREAL — Artturi Lehkonen was standing at the same end of the ice where he scored the Canadiens’ most important goal of this century. That goal, the Game 6 overtime winner that sent Montreal to the Stanley Cup Final in 2021, played above him on the Bell Centre jumbotron.Lehkonen is a vicious forechecker who keeps to himself and rarely allows his focus to stray while on the ice. But he craned his neck to relive this. Nathan MacKinnon playfully slapped Lehkonen with his stick as the crowd went wild. Lehkonen tapped his heart, saluting his old home.That moment was the centerpoint of an emotional, exceptional and ultimately uneasy return to Montreal. In a mostly seamless 8-4 Avalanche win Monday, Lehkonen scored on his first shift after the tribute video, was cheered by the opposing fans, then was given belated credit for an earlier goal to bring his career total to an anticlimactic 100. Then he exited the game with an upper-body injury in the second period. He didn’...
