  The annual NFLPA “Rookie Premiere” happens this weekend Authentic Erik Karlsson Jersey Kids , with select draft picks making the trek to L.A. for the event. The requirements of the exercise triggered a social-media skirmish that resulted in ESPN’s Darren Rovell once again being stuffed in a locker.

  Said Rovell on Twitter: “The NFLPA told at least one rookie that if he turned down today鈥檚 Rookie Premiere, where they take photos in their new team gear, they would not be let into their practice facility to work out.”

  Said NFLPA spokesman George Atallah in response, also on Twitter: “NFLPA’s Rookie Premiere is more than a photo in the new team gear. You either don’t know that (which is hard to believe since you’re so smart) or you’re just being obtuse. 2. The CBA has dictated this rule since our union has had Rookie Premiere.”

  Teams are required to allow the players to attend the Rookie Premiere if they want http://www.officialducks.com/authentic-adidas-antoine-vermette-jersey ;, and it makes sense that the players can’t choose both to not attend and to stay behind and work out at the team facility. Such a “voluntary” act would be every bit as “voluntary” as the “voluntary” offseason workouts.

  And regardless of what happens, the Rookie Premiere is indeed baked into the CBA. For a sport that makes it hard for players to market themselves individually, there’s nothing wrong with taking a weekend to put on their new uniforms and pose for photos that will end up on trading cards and elsewhere.

  Tampa Bay's Mike Evans has agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million contract extension that makes him the second-highest paid receiver in the NFL.

   

  The deal confirmed Friday includes $55 million guaranteed and also makes Evans the highest-paid player with the Buccaneers with an average annual salary of $16.5 million. That's second among NFL receivers behind Antonio Brown's $17 million.

  Evans acknowledged the extension Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey , which runs through 2023, in an Instagram post, noting he will be "spending the next several seasons in Tampa Bay" with a singular focus on helping the Bucs win a Super Bowl.

  The 24-year-old entered the league as the seventh overall pick in the 2014 draft. He has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of his four pro seasons Womens Victor Rask Jersey , amassing 309 receptions for 4,579 yards and 32 touchdowns.

  Evans had 71 catches for 1,001 yards and five TDs in 2017, when the Bucs finished 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the 10th straight season. Two years ago Sidney Crosby Jersey , he had 96 catches for 1,321 yards and 12 TDs.
