It is once again that time of year in the NFL when the offseason rumor mill starts spinning round and round. Despite the season not being officially over Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , top NFL players and coaches are the center of rumors peppered with different NFL spots for them to land in next season. Some of these NFL stars are shooting their way out of town like a black hat-wearing villain from an old western movie while others simply don’t fit into the future plans of their current teams. Some are aging veterans with a questionable amount of fuel left in their gas tanks while others are young talents looking for a big payday. History has told us that some teams will strike gold with their offseason acquisitions while other teams will be left scratching their heads. Some players will have the option of testing the free agent market and others will be a part of blockbuster trades. By whatever means, there will be a number of household NFL names that will be changing laundry and addresses in 2017. It is the way the NFL works and that’s why fans love this time of year.Let’s take a look at 15 NFL faces that will be in different places next season. A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
HITTING BRAVES
Among the many things the Atlanta Braves have done right on their way to leading the National League East this season, they’ve been getting hits. The Braves began their series against fellow division leader Milwaukee on Thursday night with three of the top four hits leaders in the NL Kaleb McGary Jersey , with outfielder Nick Markakis (108) leading the way and infielder Ozzie Albies (102) and Freddie Freeman (101) close behind in third and fourth, respectively. It’s the first time in franchise history the team has had three players reach 100 hits prior to the All-Star game, and the Braves will continue their series when Mike Foltynewicz and Freddy Peralta face off.
GOING GRAY
In a season full of highlights for the New York Yankees Kendall Sheffield Jersey , right-hander Sonny Gray has been one of the team’s biggest disappointments in his first full season with club. Gray will try and rebound from his worst start of the season when the Yankees begin a weekend series in Toronto against the Blue Jays. After being acquired from Oakland last season, Gray is 5-6 with 5.44 ERA this season and is coming off an 11-0 loss to Boston last weekend in which he allowed six runs in only 2 1/3 innings.
CHICAGO SEEING RED
Two weeks ago, the Chicago Cubs suffered through an embarrassing four-game sweep in Cincinnati – beginning a stretch of six losses in seven games. Chicago has won six straight games since that rough patch John Cominsky Jersey , and has the opportunity to make amends with the Reds when the two teams begin a weekend series at Wrigley Field. Mike Montgomery (3-2) starts for Chicago, and Tyler Mahle (6-6) takes the mound for Cincinnati.
ACE OF NEW YORK
Despite the struggles of the New York Mets for much of the season, Jacob deGrom has been one of the NL’s most dominant starters. The right-hander leads the league with his 1.84 ERA and will be back at work when he takes the mound against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. He has allowed three runs in each of his last two starts Qadree Ollison Jersey , the first time he’s allowed three or more runs in back-to-back games since April.
SUMMER KING
Seattle Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez (8-6) put together his best full month of the season in June, posting a 3.71 ERA in six starts and lowering his overall ERA from 5.83 to 5.11 in the process. The 2010 Cy Young award winner will try and extend his improved performance into July when he starts in an interleague game against the visiting Colorado Rockies.
