Report: Patriots signing former Big 12 standout offensive guard

The Patriots have reportedly signed Tyrese Robinson off the Vikings’ practice squad

The New England Patriots signed offensive guard Tyrese Robinson off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad on Tuesday, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Robinson will most likely be working in at the right guard position considering he has played there the last two seasons. He was a Second-Team All-Big 12 guard at Oklahoma in college.

He started his NFL career with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent, and he has also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings.

Robinson has yet to appear in an NFL regular season game, but his presence could add a depth piece to a Patriots offensive line that has yet to find consistency at the position this season

The Patriots will be looking to pick up their third win of the season when they take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday. They’ll need the offensive line to play significantly better than it did against the Titans to have a chance at pulling off an upset on the road.

10 players sign future contracts with Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings signed 10 player from the practice squad to futures contracts, keeping them with the franchise during the offseason.

The Minnesota Vikings began shaping their 2024 roster on Monday afternoon by signing 10 players to futures contracts.

A futures contract is one that a player signs when they aren’t signed to a team’s active roster when the season is over. It is for the league minimum depending on how many service years the player has. The players don’t impact the salary cap until the new league year starts on March 13th.

Each year, teams usually sign in the ballpark of 10 players to futures contracts. They are usually players that have been on their practice squads throughout the year but every so often, teams will sign a player from another practice squad.

The Vikings signed 10 players to futures contracts on Monday afternoon with all of them having been on the practice squad.

Eagles 2023 offseason preview: Where does Philadelphia stand at offensive line

We’re taking an early offseason look at the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line and how the NFL’s top unit will reload after losing two key contributors

The 2023 NFL draft is fast approaching, and after a few first-wave moves, Philadelphia appears locked in on adding pass rushers and offensive linemen.

The Eagles build from the inside out, and after watching two key contributors leave for the AFC, Howie Roseman will likely add reinforcements to the NFL’s top offensive line.

With the offseason quickly moving, we’re looking at Jeff Stoutland’s group early.

Oklahoma Sooners tied with Florida for most players in the Super Bowl

Led by Jalen Hurts, the Oklahoma Sooners are tied with the most players heading to the Super Bowl.

The Oklahoma Sooners share the distinction of most players from their school heading to the Super Bowl. Both the Sooners and the Florida Gators are sending seven to compete for the NFL’s greatest prize.

The Sooners

  • [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag], QB – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Lane Johnson[/autotag], T – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Tyrese Robinson[/autotag], G – Philadelphia Eagles
  • [autotag]Creed Humphre[/autotag]y, C – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]Orlando Brown[/autotag], Jr., T – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]Blake Bell[/autotag], TE – Kansas City Chiefs
  • [autotag]James Winchester[/autotag], LS – Kansas City Chiefs

The Sooners are well-represented on both sides with several players set to play a huge part in deciding the Super Bowl. That includes Pro Bowl selections Brown and Humphrey for Kansas City and, across the sideline, Hurts. (He could also be counted with Alabama, where he spent his first three college seasons, which would give the Crimson Tide four Super Bowl representatives.) Johnson is one of the most accomplished linemen in franchise history – not bad for the former Kilgore College backup quarterback. – Paul Myerburg, USA TODAY Sports

The Oklahoma Sooners are represented by players from both the Bob Stoops and Lincoln Riley eras. By way of playing the most important position on the field, Jalen Hurts is the most significant name on the list. If he plays well, the Eagles are going to have a great chance to win. The argument about “who can claim Hurts” is silly. He was fantastic for Alabama and helped them win a lot of games. It’s just convenient that both schools sport crimson.

It’s possible, though, that Hurts isn’t even the best player on his team. If offensive linemen or lines could win an MVP award, Lane Johnson would be in the running as well. His emergence into one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL is nothing short of extraordinary. Hurts and Johnson are evidence of what’s possible if you’re willing to work for it. Of course, they have the God-given talent to make their work ethic mean something.

On the Chiefs side of things, former Bill Bedenbaugh pupils Orlando Brown and Creed Humphrey will be tasked with keeping Patrick Mahomes upright. Humphrey is arguably the best center in the game, and Brown is no slouch at tackle either. That duo is a significant reason why the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl.

Sooner faithful will have no shortage of rooting interests when the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs meet on Super Bowl Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released tight end Dalton Keene from the practice squad after signing Tyrese Robinson

With Philadelphia looking to shore up their offensive line depth, the team is releasing tight end Dalton Keene from the practice squad.

The Eagles recently added offensive guard Tyrese Robinson to the roster as Jordan Mailata deals with a shoulder injury.

‘He works hard’: McKade Mettauer a critical addition to Oklahoma’s offensive line

The Oklahoma Sooners added a veteran presence to their offensive line in guard McKade Mettauer.

One of the more critical additions that the Oklahoma Sooners made via the transfer portal this offseason was that of offensive lineman [autotag]McKade Mettauer[/autotag] from Cal.

The former Golden Bear played 1,768 snaps over three seasons, including the Pac-12’s condensed 2020 season. He started 28 games at right guard. Landing with the Sooners, Mettauer is making the switch to left guard, replacing Tyrese Robinson, now with the Arizona Cardinals.

Mettauer’s experience, work ethic, and leadership have stood out since joining the Sooners.

“Yeah, I love how he works,” offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh said during OU Media Day. “Smart guy, loves playing football, passionate. He’s been a leader. He came in here and led from the beginning, worked hard. And obviously you can see it on his tape from the previous place he came from. And he’s getting a little bit bigger, a little bit thicker, which I think he needs. I don’t think it’s gonna hurt his athleticism. But [he’s a] really, really smart dude, plays hard. He’s consistent.”

Coach Bedenbaugh made no bones about the expectations for Mettauer when the offensive line coach spoke with the media back in the spring, and it seems like he’s living up to those expectations thus far.

“He works hard. He loves being here. He’s a great guy. He loves all the guys,” offensive tackle [autotag]Anton Harrison[/autotag] said. “He’s a guy you could chill with outside of football. And he’s always gonna work hard. So, that’s a guy I love playing beside me.”

Communication and chemistry are key along the offensive line. Especially among players who line up alongside each other. Offensive linemen have to have a feel for timing double-team releases, passing off pass rushers in stunts, and need to be able to communicate well before and during a play. Like a quarterback and a wide receiver, offensive line teammates must have a certain chemistry playing alongside one another. With fall camp underway, it sounds like the left side of the offensive line has worked hard to build that chemistry.

Harrison talked about what it’s been like working with a new left guard after Robinson left for the NFL. “It’s been good. We started in spring, like when McKade Mettauer first got here, really like when we find out he was gonna be left guard the first week in spring; me and him, we talked a lot. We went through the playbook a lot. We watched film from last year, even though we didn’t have the same playbook. We really just communicated. It’s a lot of communication, and then we’re going day-by-day. At practice, we got better every day. And now I feel like he’s been here for two years like I have. So, it’s just like it’s a great connection.”

With a new quarterback (though an experienced one), a new starting running back, and in a new offensive scheme, adding Mettauer has helped mitigate the losses of Robinson and Marquis Hayes. Replacing players on the offensive line is not an easy task and Coach Bedenbaugh and the Sooners were able to add one of the most experienced players in the portal in Mettauer.

Adding him to the returning Harrison, Andrew Raym, and Chris Murray should help the Sooners’ offense be ready to roll when they take the field week one against UTEP.

There’s no substitute for experience and McKade Mettauer’s years of experience at the Power Five level has been a welcomed addition to the Oklahoma Sooners.
