Jan 12, 2010

Tom Brady’s deal expires after the 2010 season, and this is the closest he’s come to the end of a contract since becoming a Patriot in 2000. He signed a four-year extension in 2002 with two years left on his rookie deal, then inked a six-year deal in 2005 with two seasons left on that accord.

In August, Eli Manning and Philip Rivers signed six-year contracts worth $16.25 million and $15.5 million per season, respectively. Jay Cutler got a two-year, $30 million extension in October. Peyton Manning is headed for a contract year as well, and Colts owner Jim Irsay said an extension is “a given.’’

Brady’s never been one to siphon every last dime. But with the possibility the Colts once again could reset the market for quarterbacks in an uncapped environment, this one could be complicated.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 13

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:52 PM EST

Cowboys ruled out Jake Ferguson for the Thanksgiving game vs. the New York Giants due to his concussion. His replacement, once again, will be Luke Schoonmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected, but it could have been a nice matchup for the No. 2 pass-catcher. Schoonmaker is a little less exciting but is worth a TE stream for desperate managers.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett miss Wednesday practice

Brady Henderson

yesterday · 7:48 PM EST

The Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as non-participants in practice today. These appear to be new injuries (though Lockett was also listed with a knee injury in Week 7). Leonard Williams has been playing through his foot injury the past few weeks.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not a great sign for Geno Smith or the general offensive environment for the Seahawks. We would have to imagine that JSN would be seeing his fifth double-digit target game of the season if either of the two were forced to miss Week 13, which catapults him into solid WR2 territory. We'll keep an eye on the reports through the rest of the week.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito officially Questionable for Week 13

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 1:24 PM EST

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for tomorrow against the Cowboys. Drew Lock, his backup, took some first-team reps just in case.

Fantasy Impact:

What a treat this game will be. Whether DeVito or Lock is back there on Thanksgiving, they both need to remain firmly on waiver wires.
