The 2018 NFL season is now just two months away from kickoff http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sam-darnold-jersey , and the playoffs odds for all 32 teams have been released - with the New England Patriots being the heavy favorites.NYJ +600OAK +165PIT -550PHI -260SF +135SEA +220TB +425TEN +165WSH +375— OddsShark (@OddsShark) July 5, 2018The Patriots were just a couple of plays away from defeating the Philadelphia Eagles to win their third Super Bowl in four years. Despite losing key players such as offensive lineman Nate Solder, star cornerback Malcolm Butler and playmakers Danny Amendola and Dion Lewis, Vegas doesn't see an end in sight for the Pats' dynasty.New England has made the playoffs all but two years since the 2001 season, and they haven't missed since 2008 - when Tom Brady went down in Week 1 with a torn ACL. Ever since 2009, they've won the AFC East Division every, have reached seven consecutive AFC Championship Games and appeared four Super Bowls, winning two of them.But the Patriots will be more battle-tested than recent years. Besides the key offseason departures, Brady turns 41, star wideout Julian Edelman was handed a four-game suspension and there's been reported rift between players and head coach Bill Belichick.Other overwhelming contenders to make the playoffs include the defending champion Eagles Taven Bryan Youth Jersey , who kept the bulk of their core together and traded for Seattle Seahawks star pass-rusher, Michael Bennett. The Pittsburgh Steelers - fresh off their second consecutive AFC North title - also figure to be a force once again, thanks to the 'Killer B's trio. The defending NFC West Champion Los Angeles Rams also figure to be a major contender, after adding four superstars in the offseason - Brandin Cooks, Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters and Ndamukong Suh.But once again, Vegas is hyping up the Patriots as the team to beat. Some may disagree, given the key players that departed in the offseason and all. But until/unless Brady starts slowing down and other teams start to聽get better, the Patriots will always be the team to beat. Tom Brady is losing one of his top receivers, and Jared Goff is getting a speedy new target.
The New England Patriots traded receiver Brandin Cooks to the Rams on Tuesday for Los Angeles' first-round draft pick Cardinals Authentic Jerseys , the 23rd overall.
New England also sent a fourth-round choice to the Rams, and the Patriots got a sixth-rounder from Los Angeles.
The 24-year-old Cooks had 65 catches for 1,082 yards and seven touchdowns in his only season with the Patriots. His receiving stats were second on the defending AFC champions' roster only to tight end Rob Gronkowski, who barely topped Cooks in all three categories.
Cooks' clear chemistry with Brady makes the trade fairly surprising for New England, particularly after the recent departure of another favorite Brady target, Danny Amendola, who signed with the Dolphins.
But the defending NFC West champion Rams made an aggressive offer to secure a potential No. 1 receiver and proven deep threat just three weeks after the departure of Sammy Watkins, who got a three-year, $48 million deal from the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.
After weeks of rumors about the Rams' interest in acquiring star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants, they managed to find another elite talent at the position. Cooks' speed and versatility should fit in well in coach Sean McVay's schemes as he lines up alongside Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp in the NFL's highest-scoring offense last season.
The trade also appears to be a strategic move on the part of the Patriots: Cooks is entering the fifth year of his rookie contract Cheap Hayden Hurst Jersey , and he can become a free agent after the 2018 season.
With three 1,000-yard seasons in a four-year pro career that began with New Orleans, Cooks would likely be a coveted player after another big year, and the Patriots may not have been willing to pay a high price to keep him and may be looking to get maximum value now.
Watkins was in the same contractual situation when the Rams acquired him from Buffalo during training camp last year, and he parlayed a solid season in Los Angeles into an enormous contract elsewhere. Yet the Rams don't appear to regret the trade, even though Watkins was their fourth-leading receiver with 39 catches, because he excelled in the red zone with eight TD grabs and provided a deep threat that had to be respected by opponents.
Cooks will be asked to do all that and more with the Rams, who haven't let up on their intense offseason pursuit of a championship roster.
The Rams acquired elite cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib last month, and they signed defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh last week to form a ferocious duo with AP Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. Los Angeles has lost leading tackler Alec Ogletree and top cornerback Trumaine Johnson during its machinations, yet kept its entire offensive line intact for Goff and running back Todd Gurley.
With the draft picks acquired in Tuesday's deal Seahawks Cheap Jerseys , New England now holds four picks in the first two rounds later this month and four more picks in Rounds 3-7. That gives coach Bill Belichick the ability to go shopping for a young prospect or perhaps to make a deal for a veteran.
Still, there's also the possibility that the Patriots may do nothing at all at receiver heading into training camp.
Julian Edelman is expected to return after suffering a preseason knee injury, and Malcolm Mitchell is also slated to return after spending time on injured reserve with a knee issue.
Cooks was New Orleans' first-round selection out of Oregon State in 2014, and he played three solid seasons for the Saints while emerging as a top young receiver.
Yet when the competitive receiver apparently disagreed with the Saints about the height of his abilities and his long-term future, he was traded to New England 13 months ago for a first-rounder and other picks.
Although Cooks is one year away from free agency, the Rams probably feel they've got a better chance to do a long-term deal with Cooks. Cooks and Goff are represented by the same agent, and Cooks is a Stockton, California, native whose family will be able to see him play regularly.
