Unser Chat » made his major league debut at Houston last Tuesd

As the NFL continues to become more of a passing league Daniel Jones Jersey , this upcoming football season will be so interesting due in large part to the number of elite wide receivers and quarterbacks who will be playing for new contracts. This will only add more excitement to just about every game as the prospect of seeing more big plays down the field or acrobatic catches becomes more likely with many of these players looking to separate themselves from the crowd.There are still some talented players who play other positions like Marcell Dareus or Matt Forte, but the number of wide receivers about to become free agents in 2016 is mind boggling. Russell Wilson, Philip Rivers and Eli Manning head a strong class of quarterbacks, and there are some of the league’s best pass rushers like Von Miller, Justin Houston, Aldon Smith and Tamba Hali. The 2016 free agent class is so rich that there are several Pro Bowl players like Eric Berry (health concerns) and Andrew Whitworth (age), who are not even able to headline this list. We'll see if these players end up making it to free agency, if they're slapped with a franchise tag or even get re-signed during the season. For now Ed Oliver Jersey , it's an intriguing bunch.The following 20 players represent the best players who will be playing for a new contract in 2015. As the NFL salary cap continues to rise, the chances of many of these players landing a nice and healthy multi-year deal will rise as well. This only adds to the excitement of this coming season. Every team starts the season with a good chance to improve and if that doesn’t happen, this list will certainly be a consolation prize.Salaries represent cap hits for 2015. Stuck in an 11-game losing streak, the Detroit Tigers cleared the air with a pregame meeting. Then Nick Castellanos went out and cleared the bases with an important home run that helped stop Detroit’s slide.

Castellanos hit his fourth career grand slam, Jordan Zimmermann pitched seven strong innings and the Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-1 on Sunday.

Manager Ron Gardenhire scheduled the pregame meeting, a relaxed session in which players were invited to say whatever was on their mind. Castellanos called it an opportunity to ”just kind of address the elephant in the room.”

”It gave anybody a chance that wanted to speak up to speak up,” said Castellanos, adding that Victor Martinez http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-cody-ford-jersey , James McCann and Gardenhire were among those who talked.

JaCoby Jones hit a two-run homer as the Tigers won for the first time since June 17, when they completed a three-game road sweep of the Chicago White Sox.

Castellanos nearly hit another home run in the ninth but Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar made a leaping catch at the wall.

”I felt like I was going to have a chance to make a play,” Pillar said. ”A ball like that hit as high as it is it allows me time to kind of track the ball and track the fence and go up to try to make a play. ”

Castellanos stopped on the basepaths to applaud Pillar’s catch before turning and heading back to the dugout.

”What else can you say the end of the day besides `What a play,”’ Castellanos said. ”It sucks it had to happen to me but plays like that have to happen to somebody.”

Niko Goodrum had a career-high four hits and Jose Iglesias had two hits and two RBIs for Detroit, which had lost 12 of 14 at Rogers Centre.

”That was a fun win, a really fun with with a lot of great swings,” Gardenire said.

Zimmermann (3-0) allowed one run and five hits in his third start since returning from a shoulder injury that caused him to miss more than a month.

”He had a great curveball today,” Gardenhire said. ”That’s probably the best curveball I’ve seen all year out of him.”

Wearing red jerseys and caps for Canada Day Devin Singletary Jersey , the Blue Jays couldn’t deliver a win for the holiday crowd of 37,445.

Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin left with a sore left hamstring after his bases-loaded bunt single in the fifth brought home Detroit’s first run. Martin was replaced by Victor Reyes.

Following the game, Gardenhire said Martin would be placed on the 10-day disabled list. A corresponding roster move will be made before Monday afternoon’s series finale.

Castellanos followed with his 13th home run, a shot that bounced off the top of the wall in right. It was his first grand slam since Sept. 8, 2017, also against Toronto.

Castellanos also made a fine catch in right, reaching back to grab Russell Martin’s line drive for the final out of the fourth.

Iglesias chased Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (10-4) with a two-out, two-run single in the sixth.

Happ matched season-worsts by allowing seven runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings.

”It’s not a pretty outing and I own that Kyler Murray Jersey ,” Happ said.

Happ had won six consecutive decisions since his previous defeat, May 10 against Seattle.

Teoscar Hernandez tripled in the first and scored on a two-out double by Justin Smoak, but Zimmermann recovered to retire the next nine Blue Jays batters.

For the second straight game, the roof was closed at Rogers Centre because of high heat and humidity.
