The Detroit Lions have many players, along with their general

ALLEN PARK http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marquise-blair-jersey , Mich. (AP) — manager and coach, with ties to the New England Patriots.Jermaine Kearse, in a sense, is no exception.The veteran receiver had one of the most memorable catches in a Super Bowl in 2016 while playing for the Seattle Seahawks against New England when Matt Patricia was its defensive coordinator.He made a 33-yard acrobatic catch after the ball bounced off his body four times with 1:06 left to put Seattle in position for a go-ahead touchdown, but the Patriots held on to win.“Kind of joked about it a little bit T.J. Hockenson Jersey , but quickly moved on,” said Patricia, who in his second season as Detroit’s coach. “Great, little tie-in to our history together, which is fun.”Kearse has 255 career catches for 3,290 yards and 17 touchdowns Jahlani Tavai Jersey , but he’s coming his worst season since 2013. He had 37 receptions for 371 yards last year for the New York Jets.“It was just an unfortunate year,” Kearse said. “We had some changes and things just didn’t work out. I’m ready to just move and be able to get back on the field and show what I can do and what I did two years ago.”With the Jets in 2017, Kearse reached career highs in catches (65) and yards receiving (810) while matching his best season with five touchdowns.The former Washington star earned a spot on Seattle’s team as an undrafted rookie in 2012 and started 51 games for the franchise under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who is in his first season with the Lions.“Looking over the playbook just kind of refreshed my memory,” Kearse said. “A lot of things I’m able to pick up pretty quickly.”The Lions addressed a need earlier in the offseason, signing Danny Amendola Will Harris Jersey , to become the slot receiver they missed after trading Golden Tate during last season to Philadelphia. On the third and final day of mandatory minicamp, they added depth by signing Kearse and releasing Jordan Smallwood.If Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones can bounce back from injury-shortened seasons, Matthew Stafford may have four solid options to throw to at wide receiver thanks to the addition of Kearse.“He’s played a lot of meaningful football in this league and has done some really great things,” Stafford said. “He has some history with Bevell. I was on the same page sometimes with him and not on the same page other times. It was our first practice. He was just thrown in there and was rolling with it.” Lawyers representing the city of St. Louis in its lawsuit against the National Football League over the departure of the Rams to Los Angeles claim the league is not responding to information requests and denying facts of the caseAccording to David Hunn of the , city attorneys made the claims in a hearing Monday. The league’s counsel disagreed with the assertion and said they’ve supplied over 20,000 documents to the plaintiffs in the case.A point of contention was Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown telling lawyers he didn’t remember how he voted when the league voted to approve the move of the franchise from St. Louis to Los Angeles.Brown was quoted calling the move “an exciting project for the league” on the team’s website. The first sentence of the story is “Bengals president Mike Brown refuted Wednesday’s published report that speculated he was one of two owners to vote against a proposal putting the Rams and possibly the Raiders or Chargers in Inglewood Austin Bryant Jersey , Calif.” The headline is “Brown backs Inglewood plan for L.A.”“I’m being told things that I later find are not correct,” said Christopher O. Bauman, an attorney representing St. Louis in the case.The lawsuit against the NFL is one of four in total to have been levied surrounding the departure of the Rams from St. Louis. The hearing Monday was in relation to the biggest lawsuit of the four, which alleges the NFL purposefully misled and defrauded the region before the Rams move in 2016.
