Davante Adams is unsure how badly he'd want to have 2,000 yards with the Rams this year
It's rare for a player to even approach 2,000 yards in a season like Cooper Kupp did with the Rams that same year when he had 1,947 yards in 17 games, but Adams thinks it's doable. He believes it'd be realistic for him to have 2,000 yards this year in Los Angeles, saying on "Up and Adams" that it wouldn't be "that crazy."
He was recently talking to Tutu Atwell about his goals and while he thinks he could go for 2,000, he doesn't know how badly he wants to get there. Not because he doesn't want to strive for greatness, but he realizes that if he has that many yards, it may not be a good sign for the offense as a whole.
'It's a very general goal,' Adams said. 'Not like a specific number but it's more about just the way I wanna do it. I said yeah, I feel like I could get 2K. I feel like that really wouldn't be that crazy, but I said I don't know how much I wanna have 2K on this team.'
The Rams are loaded with playmakers on offense, from Adams and Puka Nacua to Tutu Atwell and Kyren Williams. This isn't a scheme that needs to force-feed one player, which is why Adams feels the way he does about potentially reaching 2,000 yards.
It'd probably be an even better sign for Los Angeles if Adams and Nacua both go over 1,200 yards and the passing game is more evenly distributed across the board.
'If I need to get 2K, I think we're ready for that,' he said. 'But I don't think it'll be that type of season. But I'm ready for every ball that comes my way.'

Dan Quinn on Micah Parsons: 'I'll be connected with him for life'
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has made no secret his love for Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn was in his first season as the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys when Dallas selected Parsons with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. It was Quinn who realized that Parsons would be best employed as an edge defender, and Parsons quickly proved him correct. As a rookie, Parsons finished with 13 sacks and 20 tackles for loss, won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, and was named first-team All-Pro. In 2022, Parsons was again named first-team All-Pro and was second-team All-Pro in 2023. After the 2023 season, Quinn departed to become the head coach of one of Dallas' primary levels. Parsons spoke of his appreciation for Quinn every chance he got. Well, in case you haven't heard, Parsons requested a trade from the Cowboys on Friday. He and the team are at odds over a new contract, as Parsons felt Dallas misled him. Owner/GM Jerry Jones has stated he will not trade Parsons, and the goal remains to sign him to a long-term deal. This weekend, Bleacher Report was in Ashburn for a training camp practice, and, of course, Quinn was asked about Parsons. "Yeah, I loved coaching him, I really did, and I'll be connected with him for life," Quinn said. "He had the versatility to do different things, so he challenged me as a coach. What if we line him up here? What if I put him here? And sometimes I would be like, 'That didn't look so good.' Another time, 'We got something.' So he pushed me as a coach to think differently, and it allowed us to be more versatile. I had an absolute blast coaching him." Quinn has to be careful in discussing Parsons, but his affinity for his former player is apparent. Parsons revealed last season that he and Quinn still communicate. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. Quinn would do anything to acquire Parsons, but do you think that Jerry Jones would trade Parsons to Washington? First, the Cowboys aren't trading their best player. Secondly, if they did, it would not be to Washington, Philadelphia, or the New York Giants.

Steelers release 2 injured players from roster with injury settlements
On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers released a pair of injured players from their training camp roster with injury settlements. The Steelers had placed wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig and outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon on the Reserve/Injured list but now they will be free to rehab and then sign with another team. Moon was part of the Steelers outside linebacker rotation last season as the team's No. 4. Moon was active for 13 games in 2024 and even got one start, although he failed to register a sack. Moon was a longshot to make the final 53-man roster after the Steelers selected former Ohio State edge rusher Jack Sawyer in the 2025 NFL draft. Lemonious-Craig was added as an undrafted free agent this offseason. He played his college football at the University of Arizona but he was never able to have a significant impact on the Wildcats passing game despite excellent size and athleticism. Pittsburgh has a full wide receiver depth chart despite lacking a true No. 2 wide receiver to go along with DK Metcalf.

OM: Roberto De Zerbi hails Aubameyang
Roberto De Zerbi and Aubameyang Olympique de Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi was full of praise Saturday night for Gabonese international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Clearly, Roberto De Zerbi is a happy man since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's return. Coming off the bench last night against Sevilla FC in a friendly, the former Arsenal striker is eagerly awaited by everyone in the Bouches-du-Rhône — especially his coach. At the end of the 1-1 draw at the Vélodrome, Roberto De Zerbi expressed his overall satisfaction with his squad's performance. Speaking to the press, the manager even gave his full backing to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. "Aubameyang really wanted to come back. It hurt us when he left. I wanted to send him on alone tonight so he could feel the love from the fans. He's still in great shape, and that doesn't take anything away from Gouiri, who still has the advantage. We might even see them both together." he said.
