Former Maryland lacrosse player Jared Bernhardt, who transferred to Ferris State and led them to the Division 2 National Championship as a quarterback, had a top-30 visit with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. Bernhardt will be a wide receiver/kick returner in the NFL. He's considered a long shot to get drafted, but it's not unheard of for college quarterbacks to find success as receivers in the NFL. Julian Edelman, Brad Smith, Matt Jones, Antwaan Randle-El, Braxton Miller, Josh Cribbs and ...

Retired wide receiver Julian Edelman said on The Michael Irvin Podcast that he's "a one-team guy" and won't be coming out of retirement to join former teammate Tom Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "My knees breaking down, I'm not gonna sit here, you know, I got everything I wanted," Edelman explained. "I got three rings, played in a magical dynasty, with an unbelievable franchise coach, best quarterback of all time, like, yo, I'm not a greedy guy. I played to win, I played to compete, I ...

After being released by the New England Patriots on Monday with a failed-physical designation, wide receiver Julian Edelman officially announced his retirement from football. Edelman tried to play through a pretty serious knee injury last year that eventually required surgery, and he was not going to be able to make it back in 2021 for a full season. The veteran pass-catcher missed 10 games because of the injury last year. "By any measure of what constitutes an elite NFL career -- wins, ...

The New England Patriots released veteran wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) on Monday, following 11 seasons and three Super Bowl victories with the team. Edelman was listed as a failed physical after he'd been working to return from an injured knee last season. He'll now be facing a decision on his future in the league and could decide to hang up his cleats. Although it's not official just yet, don't be surprised to hear soon that Edelman has decided to retire. Because of the knee injury he ...

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) wants to play in 2021, but he continues to rehab from a knee injury he suffered last season and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play from a physical standpoint. The 34-year-old veteran played in just six games in 2020 because of his knee ailment and failed to find the end zone for the first time in his career since 2011. His return would be a big boost for a New England offense that will also have a huge hole to fill at ...

The New England Patriots are not activating wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) from the Injured Reserve in order to play on Monday night against the Bills, and it's unlikely that he'll play in the Week 17 season finale against the Jets either. With the Patriots officially eliminated from playoff contention, it doesn't make much sense to throw the 34-year-old out there for two meaningless games. Edelman has been out since the Week 7 loss to the 49ers and also spent some time on the ...

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) has not been cleared to return off of injured reserve in time to suit up Sunday against Miami. While it was previously believed that Edelman could miss the remainder of the 2020 year after undergoing knee surgery, the door is at least open for a possible return either against the Bills or Jets over the final two weeks. Without Edelman in the mix, Jakobi Meyers, Damiere Byrd, and N'Keal Harry have held down the WR spots, albeit without much...

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. It's a sign that the 34-year-old could return to action in Week 15 against the Dolphins after being out since Week 7 due to a knee injury and a positive COVID-19 test. Edelman would be a risky flex option for fantasy managers against an underrated Miami defense, though. However, Edelman's return will be a nice boost for quarterback Cam Newton, who has struggled tremendously through the air ...

The Los Angeles Rams Defense has been one of the best all season, and they're on track for another useful fantasy performance against the New England Patriots in Week 14 on Thursday night. After being one of the most consistent offenses for the last two decades, the Patriots have crashed back to Earth with Tom Brady no longer in town. Top wideout Julian Edelman is on Injured Reserve and the COVID-19 list as well. They're averaging the 10th-fewest points per game and they've also surrendered 17 ...

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelmanwas placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday, which marks yet another setback for the veteran receiver during an injury riddled 2020. Players do not have to test positive for the virus to be placed on the list. Edelman's return to action has been clouded since being placed on Injured Reserve due to a knee ailment, last having appeared in Week 7 against San Francisco. Having appeared in six games this year, Edelman has amassed just 21 receptions for ...
