Wake has joined other players in complaining about the NFL’s officiating emphasis to discourage quarterback hits.“It’s sad Christian Wilkins Jersey ,” Wake said Friday. “I don’t think it’s a secret that the league is concerned about player safety. It just depends on what players.”Wake’s teammate, end William Hayes, suffered a season-ending knee injury last week and said his foot caught in the turf as he was trying to avoid landing on Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr.Wake said the league should acknowledge that when it comes to player safety Michael Deiter Jersey , quarterbacks �? including Miami’s Ryan Tannehill �? come first.“Just tell me, ‘Listen, we’re going to protect quarterbacks differently Daniel Jones Jersey ,” Wake said. “Just be blunt about it. Not ‘we care about your safety,’ because you don’t care about my safety. You care about some people’s safety. My knees mean just as much to my family and my ability to play and provide just as Tannehill’s does. I can’t understand that his are more important than mine.”Rulings on quarterback hits have been a source of debate through the first three weeks of the NFL season, with players complaining about a lack of consistency on such calls.Wake described steps to make football safer an “uphill battle.”“I think the crowd likes the violence Dexter Lawrence Jersey ,” he said. “You see plays on TV, you see big hits, you see the oooh’s and the ahh’s Deandre Baker Jersey , and they like that. That’s what I’m sure helps drive ratings.”___ When word first broke that the Broncos are set to trade for quarterback Joe Flacco when the new league year gets underway in March, there were reports that reworking Flacco’s contract could be part of their plans as well.Mike Klis of KUSA reports that is not expected to be the case, however. Flacco’s contract calls for him to make $18.5 million during the 2019 season and his salaries for 2020 and 2021 are $20.25 million and $24.25 million.Those will also be Flacco’s cap hits for those seasons and none of the salaries are guaranteed Oshane Ximines Jersey , so the Broncos can move on from Flacco without any dead money left over although they’d prefer it if Flacco plays well enough to justify that cost.The Broncos also have Case Keenum on the books with a $21 million cap number and $7 million in guaranteed money for 2019. Moving on from him would leave $10 million in dead money, but there’s no commitment to Keenum in 2020 or beyond.
