Derek Carr’s brother likes the idea of him joining the Saints

Derek Carr’s brother likes the idea of him joining the Saints. Darren Carr took to Twitter to share a jersey swap that put the Raiders QB in black and gold:

Ever wondered what Derek Carr would look like in a New Orleans Saints jersey? Here’s a mock-up from his older brother. Darren Carr shared an edited photo of the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback wearing black and gold (well, gold and white, given it’s their away jersey) in a post from his personal Twitter account on Wednesday. Coincidentally, Carr is visiting the Saints team facility at the same time, ahead of the Raiders trade deadline next week on Feb. 15.

Though he’s enjoyed having his younger brother nearby while coaching football at Bakersfield Christian High School in Southern California, the elder Carr is already stumping for a move to New Orleans. The Saints are in the driver’s seat to acquire Carr after scheduling his visit and agreeing to meet the Raiders’ asking-price in a trade, though they could also wait until he’s released next week and try to sign him as a free agent. That may not be ideal with other teams entering the mix and starting a bidding war.

A lot of eyes are on New Orleans as they navigate this complex situation. Carr wields a no-trade clause in his contract that he can use to block a move, and that hard deadline with Las Vegas ensures he owns the most leverage in these negotiations. Let’s see if Carr’s family gets their wish.

Chiefs rule out CB L’Jarius Sneed following death of his brother

#Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed has officially been ruled out for the Week 14 game against the #Raiders following the death of his oldest brother.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded CB L’Jarius Sneed to out for the team’s Week 14 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Sneed was listed as questionable on Saturday following news of the death of his older brother TQ Harrison in their hometown of Minden, Louisiana.  Sneed traveled back to Minden on Saturday, on a jet provided by Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and he currently remains there with his family according to reports from KC Star beat writer Sam McDowell.

Here is the report on the tragedy involving Sneed’s brother from Shreveport, Louisiana’s KTBS-TV via our friends out Touchdown Wire:

“TQ Harrison died from a single stab wound to his back, that punctured his lung,” said Cropper, adding the murder weapon — a large kitchen knife — has been recovered.

Harrison attempted to drive himself to Minden Medical Center after being stabbed, however he crashed his vehicle on the backside of the hospital.

Harrison was reportedly transported to Oschner – LSU Hospital where he succumbed to his injury following an emergency surgery police said.”

Angela Washington, 47, has been arrested and charged in connection to Harrison’s death.

The Chiefs elevated two cornerbacks to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Saturday with Sneed’s expected absence and injuries at the position. Both Dicaprio Bootle and Josh Jackson are expected to be active for Kansas City on Sunday against the Raiders.

Sneed’s status on a short week with a trip to Los Angeles to face the Chargers on “Thursday Night Football” is also in question at this point.

This video of Peyton and Eli Manning playing basketball is hilarious

Check out this funny video of Peyton and Eli Manning playing basketball together.

“The Checkdown,” one of the NFL’s social media pages, posted a funny throwback video of Peyton and Eli Manning playing a game of knockout last week. It drew some classic comments on social media.

“Eli laughs like a little brother 😂” @Ausalvano wrote.

“You can really tell Eli is the younger sibling with his boyish giggles,” @5mittyWi11 added.

“Wow, Peyton has no Basketball skills! LOL” @tolle_jeff quipped.

Peyton won two Super Bowls — one with the Colts and one with the Broncos — and Eli won two Super Bowls as well — both with the Giants. Clearly, these football-loving brothers aren’t basketball phenoms.
