NFL Rumors: Best trade chip for all 32 teams in the 2024 offseason

By russell s. baxter | apr 29, 2024.

Every NFL team's best trade chip right now

Best trade chip for every afc east team, best trade chip for every nfc east team, best trade chip for every afc north team, best trade chip for every nfc north team, best trade chip for every afc south team, best trade chip for every nfc south team, best trade chip for every afc west team, best trade chip for every nfc west team.

The National Football League is knee-deep into its offseason hoopla. The new fiscal year began on March 13. The free-agent market was very hot, and numerous clubs were also been busy via trades in terms of sending a player to another team for draft choices in 2024 and even beyond.

The 2024 NFL Draft is in the books. There could be more deals ahead in the coming months. Of course, the trading deadline is still many months away, and again there could be some activity just before and during the season when it comes to players on the move.

This exercise encompasses all of these opportunities. We have already seen some top performers wind up in new homes. There were two performers who received the “franchise” tag ahead of free agency and each has a new address. As of this writing, 20 other players have already been dealt to new teams.

Keep in mind that the point of this exercise is not to show players that teams are willing to part with. Rather, if a team had an opportunity to make a blockbuster move, it would involve their most tradable commodity.

Sometimes to get something big, you have to give up something big. The following list shows 32 realistic examples, one per team, that would arguably net the biggest prize(s) for a club. There will certainly be some surprises, but nothing shocking. For instance, Patrick Mahomes isn’t going anywhere (except maybe to another Super Bowl?).

Buffalo Bills: LT Dion Dawkins

He was the subject of numerous trade “rumors” for the past few seasons. Outspoken wide receiver Stefon Diggs made plenty of noise in four seasons in Orchard Park, as was the case during his five years with the Minnesota Vikings. Now he’s a member of the Houston Texans. Via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport , the Bills got get a second-round pick in 2025. They also gave up a 2024 sixth-round selection, a fifth-round pick in 2025 and the prolific wideout.

There were plenty of familiar faces that departed Buffalo this offseason, be it due to the team’s salary-cap issues or players who opted to go elsewhere. As far as this exercise, the pickins’ are somewhat slimmer with Diggs headed to Houston and salary-cap casualty Mitch Morse signing with the Jaguars.

Left tackle Dion Dawkins has been named to the last three Pro Bowls. The 2017 second-round pick from Temple University has been a pretty steady commodity on Buffalo’s offensive front. He’s made 106 regular-season starts, and 11 more in the playoffs. That unit was ranked No. 6 by Pro Football Focus in 2023. Dawkins surrendered only one sack this past season.

Sean McDermott’s club has a lot of new faces, after an offseason of trimming the roster. General manager Brandon Beane picked 10 players in this month’s draft, including two tackles. Finding a replacement for Dawkins wouldn't be easy but certainly feasible. The Bills could certainly fetch a third- or fourth-round selection for the reliable performer.

Miami Dolphins: WR Tyreek Hill

It was one of the biggest NFL trades in the last decade. The Kansas City Chiefs opted to ship talented wideout Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins and received five draft choices in return. Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has certainly taken advantage of his skills.

In two seasons in South Florida, he’s played in a total of 33 regular-season contests. There have been a combined 238 receptions (119 each year) for 3,509 yards (NFL-best 1,799 in 2023) and 20 touchdowns grabs. In 2022, he ran for one score and returned a fumble for a TD.

Of course, Mike McDaniel has not been able to take advantage of that production. Even though the Dolphins have reached the playoffs each of these past two seasons, the franchise still hasn’t won a postseason game since 2000. On the other hand, the Chiefs took full advantage of the deal. They have won two more Super Bowls without Hill, and been able to add some excellent defensive players that were a big part of their 2023 championship campaign.

Would general manager Chris Grier actually entertain offers for Hill? The compensation may not match what the Chiefs received back in 2022. However, it could certainly include a first-round draft pick and arguably more.

New England Patriots: RB Rhamondre Stevenson

If you are a part of the New England Patriots organization, you had to be encouraged by what you heard from the team’s second-leading ground-gainer a few months ago.

"I want to be the featured back for the Patriots,” said three-year pro Rhamondre Stevenson to Nicole Yang of the Boston Globe .

“The importance of being in the game,” said the former University of Oklahoma product , “and getting a hang of the game, just drive after drive – not one drive on, one drive off. You can’t get hot like that. All running backs know that. You can’t really get hot like that.”

In three seasons in Foxborough, Stevenson has totaled 3,047 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns. He also had 60 yards from scrimmage in the club’s humbling 47-17 loss to the Bills in the 2021 playoffs.

What makes him the Patriots’ best trade chip? In his second season, the 2021 fourth-round pick touched the ball 279 times and finished with 1,461 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns. He was New England’s top rusher with 1,040 yards and the club’s top pass-catcher with 69 receptions.

The new Patriots’ regime has added some pieces on offense. Jerod Mayo’s club signed former Commanders’ running back Antonio Gibson in free agency. He could certainly make Stevenson expendable, although the Patriots did not use any of their eight draft choices on a running back.

New York Jets: DT Quinnen Williams

Last offseason, it was suggested by some that for the sake of the franchise the New York Jets could get a king’s ransom for 2022 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner. Keep in mind that general manager Joe Douglas also nailed the other side of the ball when wide receiver Garrett Wilson earning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors that same year.

Unfortunately, that’s about as good as it has gotten for a franchise that still owns the longest active playoff drought in the league. This offseason, the Jets have made a concerted effort to bolster this problem-plagued offensive line.

Last July, the team inked defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to a four-year, $96 million contract extension. He has been named to the last two Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro accolades in 2022. When it comes to interior defensive linemen, only the Giants’ Dexter Lawrence and now-retired Aaron Donald have higher grades from Pro Football Focus. He is also PFF’s top-ranked run defender at this position.

The thought of the Jets parting ways with the five-year pro is fairly amusing. However, that doesn’t mean that dealing him for numerous picks wouldn’t do Robert Saleh’s team a world of good.

Dallas Cowboys: DT DeMarcus Lawrence

It has been a quiet offseason for the reigning NFC East champions in terms of adding players. It’s been just the opposite when it comes to departures when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys.

Without question, the most accomplished player currently on Mike McCarthy’s roster is guard Zack Martin. The 10-year pro has been named to the Pro Bowl nine times, and he’s earned All-Pro accolades on seven occasions – including each of the last three years. As he begins his second decade in the NFL, there’s no question he is still worth a first- or a second-round draft choice.

There’s now a big but when it comes to Martin, due to the fact that the Cowboys have already lost two starters, veteran left tackle Tyron Smith (Jets) and center Tyler Biadasz (Commanders), to free agency. It’s unimaginable to think that the Cowboys would be willing to part with his leadership, regardless of what a deal would bring.

Meanwhile, four-time Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence could also net a big return. He’s been a 17-game starter each of the past two seasons after missing 10 games in 2021, and certainly made life easier for pass-rushing terror Micah Parsons. It’s safe to say he could do that elsewhere for another defense.

New York Giants: WR Darius Slayton

It is really a football team devoid of star power for more than a decade, and the pickings here are somewhat slim. Still, the New York Giants appeared to be headed in the right direction in 2022. They surprised many by finishing 9-7-1 under Brian Daboll, who earned NFL Coach of the Year honors. The team won a playoff game for the first time since Super Bowl XLVI, knocking off the NFC North champion Vikings in Minnesota in the wild card round.

As fast as the Giants ascended in ’22 was a quick as they digressed this past season. Quarterback Daniel Jones was once again a turnover waiting to happen. The team allowed an astounding 85 sacks. Only the Patriots and Panthers scored fewer points, and the offense produced a mere 25 touchdowns.

The bad news is that nearly half of those TDs (10) came via new Eagles’ running back Saquon Barkley. Enter Devin Singletary, late of the Houston Texans. The offensive line has three new starters.

Is there anyone on this team that Big Blue could actually dangle as trade bait? How about underrated wideout Darius Slayton? He tied a career-high with 50 catches, led the Giants with 770 receiving yards and tied for team lead with four TD grabs. General manager Joe Schoen did use the sixth overall pick this month of LSU wideout Malik Nabers.

Philadelphia Eagles: TE Dallas Goedert

It’s hard to become the best tight end in the NFC with the likes of Goerge Kittle, 2023 rookie standout Sam LaPorta and T.J. Hockenson and Trey McBride all members of the conference. Still, Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert has been a very effective player for the Eagles the past six seasons. His emergence made it a lot easier for general manager Howie Roseman to trade three-time Pro Bowler Zach Ertz to the Cardinals.

Goedert has totaled 55-plus receptions each of the past three seasons. He comes off a year in which he finished with a career-high 59 catches. That’s fairly impressive considering he shares the field with one of the best wide receiving duos in the league. A.J. Brown (106) and Devonta Smith (81) combined for 187 receptions and 2,522 yards, with both players reaching the end zone seven times.

Now add versatile Saquon Barkley to the mix. He’s a big-time threat as a pass-catcher, and could take some targets away from Goedert.

The crafty Roseman may be able to get anywhere from a fourth- to sixth-round pick in 2025 or beyond for Goedert. The more selections, the better for one of the best general managers in the business who has never been afraid to make bold moves.

Washington Commanders: DT Jonathan Allen

New Washington Commanders’ general manager Adam Peters, formerly the assistant GM with the San Francisco 49ers, has been far from this offseason, The Commanders have been extremely proactive this offseason. Peters dealt quarterback Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks. The team has already added more than 20 veterans during the free agency period, and drafted nine players.

One of the “older” faces still on the roster is defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. The two-time Pro Bowler was the 17th overall pick in the 2017 draft. After he was limited to just five games during his rookie campaign, he’s missed only three contests the past six seasons. He is a good centerpiece for new head coach Dan Quinn, late of the rival Cowboys, to rebuild his defense around. The Commanders gave up the most total yards, passing yards and points in the league this past season.

Trading Allen would probably not be well-advised, unless Peters ( who insists he is not interested in dealing Allen ) simply gets an offer that he can’t refuse sooner than later. If Washington is in the midst of another dreadful season, the club could unload him, as was the case last year with Chase Young and Montez Sweat. A minimum of a third-round pick for the seven-year performer would be very reasonable.

Baltimore Ravens: LT Ronnie Stanley

It’s been an offseason of mass Exodus for the NFL team that boasted the best win-loss record in 2023. So, the idea of parting ways with any player would probably rankle Baltimore Ravens’ general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh. Still, business is business.

Veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley’s best football is likely behind him. The eight-year left tackle, regardless of circumstances, has never played a complete season. The injuries have certainly mounted as of late. A Pro Bowler and All-Pro in 2019, the former Golden Domer has missed a total of 36 regular-season contests the past four seasons.

Stanley played and started in 13 games in 2023, as well as both postseason contests. He’s No. 37 on Pro Football Focus’ tackle list, but a very-respectable 22nd when it comes to pass protection. There would indeed be a market for his services. Oft-injured Tyron Smith was the top-ranked pass-blocking tackle by PFF, and wound up signing a free-agent deal with the Jets.

Yes, a free-agent deal and a trade are two different things. However, consider that the Ravens don’t necessarily have a lot of players they may be willing to part with, especially after losing the likes of Kevin Zeitler, Patrick Queen, Geno Stone, Jadeveon Clowney, and others in free agency.

Cincinnati Bengals: DE Sam Hubbard

It was a very rough year for the Cincinnati Bengals, that in spite of the fact that Zac Taylor’s team (which played the final games in without Joe Burrow) finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season.

Unfortunately for Taylor and company, they resided in a division where every team finished above .500. The Bengals were one of three teams in the AFC, along with the Jaguars and Colts, to finish 9-8 and missed the playoffs.

While it would be easy to point the finger at Burrow’s injury as the cause for the disappointing year, the Cincinnati defense has to shoulder a lot of the blame. There was a major falloff on this side of the ball. Only the Washington Commanders gave up more total yards per game.

Defensive ends Trey Hendrickson (17.5) and Sam Hubbard (6.0) combined for more than half of the club’s 44 sacks in 2023. The former is now under contract through the 2025 season, but has recently made some noise about wanting to be traded .

Hubbard is in the final year of a four-year, $40 million deal. He turns 29 years old in late June, and is very much in his prime. The Bengals used 10 picks in April’s draft, three on defensive linemen.

Cleveland Browns: TE David Njoku

Back in 2017, the Cleveland Browns selected three players in the first round of the draft. They took defensive end Myles Garrett first overall. The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year has lived up to that billing. With the 25th pick, they opted for University of Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers. He’s currently with the New England Patriots.

Four selections later, the Browns opted for University of Miami tight end Davod Njoku. While his career numbers are somewhat modest for a player that’s been in the league for seven seasons, he is coming off a Pro Bowl campaign. Njoku started 16 games in 2023 and finished with an impressive 81 receptions, good for 882 yards and six touchdowns. All four of those numbers are career highs.

What’s interesting is the fact that in the five games he played with quarterback Joe Flacco, Njoku was targeted 45 times. He totaled 30 receptions for 390 yards, a tidy 13.0 yards per catch. Four of his six scores came with the veteran signal-caller at the controls. Njoku was also Flacco’s favorite target in the playoff loss at Houston.

That 2023 Pro Bowl nod make the seven-year pro a worthwhile investment for a team looking for tight end help down the road. The Browns wound up drafting six players this year and none of them was a tight end. It's a long shot, but he could net a big return.

Pittsburgh Steelers: OLB Alex Highsmith

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not a franchise that gives up on its best players. Rather, the organization has made a very good habit of retaining its top performers.

One thing this team has done seemingly forever is to find linebackers. Their track record at this position over the last five-plus decades is even more impressive than their recent success in drafting wide receivers. Yes, there have been some disappointments. More times than not, the club has found Pro Bowl performers.

A rising star is outside linebacker Alex Highsmith. Over the past two seasons, he’s started all 34 regular-season contests. He’s combined for 21.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles while returning one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Highsmith is in the second year of a contract extension that he signed in 2023, which has him a member of the team through 2027. Via Spotrac , there’s also an out in 2025. The likelihood that general manager Omar Khan and the franchise would deal the talented performer is certainly a long shot. It would likely take a first-round draft choice to pry him away from Mike Tomlin’s team.

Then again, as previously mentioned, the Steelers have had few problems finding relentless pass-rushers. They may already have a potential star in Nick Herbig, who finished with three sacks and two forced fumbles in his rookie campaign.

Chicago Bears: TE Cole Kmet

All the pieces appear to be in place for the Chicago Bears. They used the first overall pick in April’s draft to select USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Earlier this year, general manager Ryan Poles sent Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2025.

Poles has done yeoman’s work when it comes to bolstering the team’s skill positions. He inked a deal with one-time Lions’ running back D’Andre Swift, who spent 2023 with the Eagles. He made a deal for veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen, and also added one of his teammates in tight end Gerald Everett.

That latter signing is intriguing because it gives new Chicago offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and pair of solid performers at the position. Cole Kmet finished second on the team behind D.J. Moore with 73 catches, six for scores. It also gives Poles an opportunity to move Kmet.

The former Notre Dame standout has not missed a game in four seasons, and he’s reached the end zone a combined 13 times the past two years. The Bears selected an NFL-low five players, albeit Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze (Washington) were obviously Top 10 picks. Kmet could certainly fetch a mid-round selection in 2025 or beyond.

Detroit Lions: RB David Montgomery

A free-agent pickup from a division rival and a rookie from the University of Alabama combined to give Dan Campbell’s club a potent 1-2 punch at running back in the league in 2023. 

After four seasons in the Windy City, David Montgomery signed with the Lions. He ran for 1,015 yards in 14 games and led the club with 13 total touchdowns. With the 12th overall selection in last April’s draft, general manager Brad Holmes surprised many by opting for Jahmyr Gibbs. He ran for 945 yards and 10 scores, plus finished third on the team with 52 receptions, one for a touchdown. The former Crimson Tide standout averaged 5.2 yards per carry.

Is Gibbs capable of a bigger workload? That theory could be tested if other teams have an interest in Montgomery. There’s plenty to like about the fifth-year running back. He’s totaled at least 200 carries and no less than 800 yards rushing in each of his five NFL campaigns.

The trade market for running backs hasn’t been very big in recent years. That doesn’t mean that the former Iowa State performer wouldn’t have a market. The Lions may be willing to deal an underrated and productive player.

Green Bay Packers: OLB Preston Smith

There’s a new sheriff in town when it comes to the Green Bay Packers defense. Former Boston College University head coach Jeff Hafley is now running this side of the ball for Matt LaFleur’s club. Admittedly, the Packers’ defense played better late in 2023 when the team caught fire on the way to the playoffs. However, this unit has been an issue for too many years, and it proved to be the Pack’s undoing in the divisional round loss to the 49ers.

There have already been numerous changes. There is one new face in the secondary in former Giants’ safety Xavier McKinney. There is also one very notable departure in former All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell. He spent the past three seasons with the Packers, but injuries became a factor the past two years. He was released this offseason and signed with San Francisco.

Which brings us to reliable outside linebacker Preston Smith. He has spent five seasons with the organization and in nine NFL seasons has missed only one game. Green Bay can’t really afford to give up a solid defensive player, and Smith has been very consistent. However, he may also be worth something to another team by midseason. Six of the 11 players GM Brian Gutekunst drafted this year were defensive prospects.

Minnesota Vikings: FS Harrison Smith

So, there’s no confusion and no question why wide receiver Justin Jefferson is not listed, a reminder what Minnesota Vikings’ general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah had to say when the subject of trading him came up at the NFL Combine.

“That’s not something that has once crossed my mind. You've got a blue player, blue person. You try and keep as many of those as you can.”

That leaves veteran safety Harrison Smith. He has been the Minnesota Vikings’ most reliable defensive player since his arrival in 2012. The former Golden Domer just wrapped up his 12th season with the Purple Gang.

There will be a 13th campaign with the club. Smith agreed to a restructured deal (via Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune ) in mid-March that saved the team a lot of money in terms of the salary cap. The former Golden Domer started all 17 games, but failed to pick off a pass for the first time since 2016. He ranked fifth on the team with 93 tackles and added three forced fumbles and three sacks.

By all indications, Smith will retire as a Minnesota Viking. He ranks fifth in franchise history with 34 interceptions. The six-time Pro Bowler and 2017 All-Pro could still offer something to a team should the right offer present itself.

Houston Texans: RB Dameon Pierce

What a debut performance. First-time NFL head coach DeMeco Ryan and the second overall pick in the 2023 draft combined for make a huge difference for a franchise that had won a combined 11 games the previous three seasons. The Houston Texans finished 10-7 and won the AFC South. They crushed the visiting Browns in the wild card round before succumbing to the Ravens at Baltimore a week later.

General manager Nick Caserio did an excellent job adding talent last offseason and apparently still has that magic touch. This year’s key additions include pass-rusher Danielle Hunter, underrated defensive end Denico Autry and running back Joe Mixon. Caserio also drafted nine players this year.

Speaking of the latter, he’s the new main man in the backfield. In 2022, that was rookie Dameon Pierce. The fourth-round draft choice opened eyes, and ran 220 times for 939 yards and four scores in his first 13 games. He finished his year with 1,105 yards from scrimmage and five TDs before missing the final four games due to injury.

He was a different player this past season, and his struggles prompted the team to lean more on free-agent pickup Devin Singletary. Who knows why he struggled in 2023 (see John Crumpler of TexansWire.com), but the bottom line is that Caserio swung a deal for Mixon. Singletary is now a member of the New York Giants. The Texans may only fetch a sixth- or seventh-round pick for Pierce this summer or fall, but both sides could certainly benefit from a change in scenery.

Indianapolis Colts: DT DeForest Buckner

It proved to be one of the best trades during the Chris Ballard Era since he joined the franchise. Who would have thought that the Indianapolis Colts would have been able to obtain talented defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the San Francisco 49ers when the latter was coming off an appearance in Super Bowl LIV?

Ballard gave up the team’s first-round pick in 2020, and the acquisition paid immediate dividends. Buckner wasn’t named to the Pro Bowl, but earned All-Pro recognition. In his four seasons with the organization, he’s missed only one game (for COVID-19 in 2020). He’s coming off his second Pro Bowl year in three seasons. Buckner has totaled a minimum of seven sacks in each of his four seasons with the Colts. He recently agreed to a new two-year, $46 million contract extension.

So that begs the question. Why would he be on this list? He is obviously going nowhere anytime soon, but he is the team's most consistent defender, and he and left guard Quenton Nelson are arguably the franchise's top players. For all of their vast improvement under first-time NFL head coach Shane Steichen, Gus Bradley’s defensive unit was below average.

Sending the eight-year pro elsewhere could still be very profitable to a Colts team that did draft nine players in April, five on defense. It's obvious that the standout defenders isn't going anywhwere, but what a price he could fetch.

Jacksonville Jaguars: WR Zay Jones

This offseason, the Jacksonville Jaguars secured the services of pass-rushing standout Josh Allen via the “franchise” tag, and eventually inked him to a new five-year, $150 million deal. The seventh overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft is coming off his best season to date. He was tied for second in the league with 17.5 sacks, and was named to his second Pro Bowl.

If Doug Pederson’s club is to avoid another late-season collapse, as was the case a year ago, the Jacksonville defense is one aspect of the team that needs to play better. There is a new coordinator in Ryan Nielsen.

The Jaguars aren’t hurting when it comes to pass-catchers, although Calvin Ridley’s defection to the rival Tennessee Titans has to sting a big. He led the team in receiving yards and touchdown grabs. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence still has tight end Evan Engram, running back Travis Etienne and wideout Christian Kirk, along with newcomers Gabe Davis and Devin Duvernay. There is also 2024 first-round wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (LSU).

Which brings us to Zay Jones. He has made his share of key catches for the team. It would not be a surprise to see him with a fourth NFL club in eight years.

Tennessee Titans: OLB Harold Landry III

Running back Derrick Henry, now a member of the Baltimore Ravens, was one of the great players in the history of a franchise that dates back to 1960 and its days as the Houston Oilers. The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner ranks second in team history in rushing yards (9,502) behind Eddie George (10,009).

That being said, who is currently the most tradable player on the Tennessee Titans’ roster that another team would be willing to give up a pick (or picks) and/or another player for?

The Titans have bolstered their roster this offseason via trades and free agency, and obviously those players aren’t going anywhere. The club’s two best trade candidates are arguably defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and edge-rusher Harold Landry III. The nod goes to the latter, because it’s much easier to find a pass-rusher in the draft these days than a force on the interior of the defensive front.

The five-year pro comes off a 10.5 sack campaign, made even more impressive considering he missed all of 2022 with a torn ACL. He finished with 12.0 QB traps in 2021 and was named to the Pro Bowl. If not sooner, look for a playoff contender to come calling sometime near the trade deadline in pursuit of a defensive difference-maker.

Atlanta Falcons: DT Grady Jarrett

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he played in a career-low eight games. He comes off a season in which he started the first eight games before suffering a torn ACL that shelved him for the remainder of the season. The veteran performer is on the road to recovery.

“Grady’s excellent,” explained Falcons’ general manager Terry Fontenot last month (via Jeremy Brener of SI.com. “He’s going to find a way to be ahead of schedule…we feel good about that.”

Atlanta has a new head coach in Raheem Morris, and a new defensive line coach in Jay Rodgers (late of the Chargers).

“He’s been here for a decade now and he’s played at a high level. I have not studied him from a personnel standpoint for a while, other than the fact that he’s a very productive player that all D-Line coaches are watching because he has some dynamic things that he does."

The rebuilding Falcons also have a new quarterback (Kirk Cousins) and new weapons. They were a respectable 11th in total defense in 2023. It’s a franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2017. A healthy Jarrett will be a player that teams could inquire about. As was seen on the first day of the 2024 draft, general manager Terry Fontenot appears capable of anything.

Carolina Panthers: DT Derrick Brown

When you finish with the worst record in the league (2-15) and have posted six consecutive losing campaigns, you would think a team would not have many suitors when it comes to their roster.

Think again. The Carolina Panthers gave standout pass-rusher Brian Burns the “franchise” tag, then dealt him to the New York Giants. The team traded for wide receiver Diontae Johnson, and part of the deal meant sending cornerback Donte Jackson to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Former Panthers linebacker Dan Morgan now owns the title of president of football operations/general manager for the organization. He has spent this offseason adding bodies to a defensive unit that gave up the fourth-fewest total yards in the league. However, the Panthers finished with an NFL-low 27 sacks and came up with only 11 takeaways, also the fewest in the league. Now the team must find a way to replace Burns, who finished with nearly one-third (8.0) of hose 27 QB traps.

Four-year pro Derrick Brown is coming off his first Pro Bowl campaign, and finished second on the team with an impressive 103 tackles. He would be an asset to any defensive line, and Morgan is in the midst of some serious revamping on this side of the ball. Brown could net a first- or second-round pick.

New Orleans Saints: RB Alvin Kamara

It’s no coincidence that a team that had been stuck in a 7-9 rut for three straight seasons from 2014-16 was rejuvenated by the addition of a young and talented running back. The New Orleans Saints used a second-round selection in 2017 on University of Tennessee standout Alvin Kamara. During his first four seasons, he touched the ball a combined 998 times, amassed 6,164 yards from scrimmage and reached the end zone 58 times.

Sean Payton’s club won four consecutive NFC South titles. However, the Saints were unable to get back to the Super Bowl. Over the past three seasons, quarterback Drew Brees and Payton retired. Kamara continued to be productive, but is coming off a season in which he gained a career-low 1,160 yards from scrimmage. He missed the first three games due to a league suspension and only occasionally flashed his five-time Pro Bowl form.

The seven-year pro remains a productive player, and perhaps one that could benefit from a change of scenery. It’s been an offseason in which numerous teams revamped their backfield. Kamara’s versatility would make him a very worthy acquisition for another club this summer or right up to the trading deadline. He's certainly worth anywhere from a fourth- to sixth-round pick.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: WR Chris Godwin

Be it quarterback Tom Brady or Baker Mayfield, wide receiver Chris Godwin has been a vital part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ passing game in recent years. The third-round pick from Penn State in 2017 had a breakout year in his third NFL campaign. He caught 86 passes for 1,333 yards and nine scores on his way to a Pro Bowl invitation.

Godwin didn’t put up huge regular-season numbers during the Bucs’ Super Bowl LV championship campaign, but he led Bruce Arians’ club in receiving yards (232) during Tampa’s four-game postseason run. The seven-year pro has led Tampa Bay in catches each of the past three seasons, totaling a career-best 104 grabs in 2022.

It’s been a hectic offseason for unsung general manager Jason Licht. He locked up Mayfield and wide receiver Mike Evans to new deals. Linebacker Devin White signed with the Eagles. The team parted ways with linebacker Shaq Barrett and dealt cornerback Carlton Davis to the Lions. All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. was given the “franchise” tag.

Dealing away the team’s top pass-catcher would be a big blow to both Mayfield and Evans, and it’s a remote possibility. However, Godwin offers the defending NFC South champions Buccaneers the best option for a team that has plenty of talented players and could get a high pick (or veteran) in return.r

Denver Broncos: T Garett Bolles

It’s been a very rough stretch for the Denver Broncos, and the team has parted ways with some of its most notable players this offseason. Of course, the big news was the release of quarterback Russell Wilson. The experiment simply didn’t go as well as planned, and is essence the franchise is paying him millions of dollars while he’s now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons was released by the team, and he’s yet to sign with another club. Tackling machine Josey Jewell inked a deal with the Carolina Panthers. The 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was traded to the Cleveland Browns.

Speaking of trades, who is remaining on Sean Payton’s roster that the Broncos could offer up and there would be takers? The logical answer is veteran left tackle Garett Bolles. The seven-year pro comes off a strong 2023 in which he started all 17 games. A year earlier, he missed the team’s final 12 contests with a broken leg. Dealing Bolles would open up some cap room (via Lance Sanderson of SI.com) for the club.

It's start-over time again in the Mile High City, with Payton using the 12th overall pick in the draft on Auburn quarterback Bo Nix.

Kansas City Chiefs: TE Noah Gray

Perhaps the bigger question when it comes to this topic is whether any team would want to swing a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs?

In 2002, the Miami Dolphins sent five draft choices to Andy Reid’s team for explosive wide receiver Tyreek Hill. It worked out well for the talented playmaker, who has earned All-Pro accolades in both of his seasons in South Florida. It has worked out even better for the Chiefs, who have added two more Lombardi’s to their trophy case thanks to the ability to rebuild their defense.

Of course, one of those key components was cornerback L’Jarius Sneed. The Chiefs gave him the “franchise” tag and then dealt him to the Tennessee Titans. The teams swapped seventh-round draft choices (the Chiefs dealt it to Buffalo). Kansas City also gets a third from the Titans in 2025.

Obviously, there’s no talk here about Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce or Chris Jones. However, the team has a solid performer in the form of backup tight end Noah Gray. He’s entering the final year of his rookie contract, and a team in need of help at the position could bite on the fact of a young player who’s played under Reid and already has 10 postseason games on his resume. General manager Brett Veach could fetch a lower-round pick in 2025 on the former Duke Blue Devil.

Las Vegas Raiders: WR Davante Adams

A solid debut in 2014 was followed by a second shaky season a year later. However, it has been nothing but positives for prolific wide receiver Davante Adams, who has already logged 10 NFL seasons – the last two coming with the Silver and Black. The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro knows a little something about big trades. He was shipped to Las Vegas in 2022 for first- and second-round picks that year in a deal that befitted both the Raiders and the Green Bay Packers.

Of course, upheaval is the Raiders’ middle name. Too many head coaches and assorted other issues are but one reason the team has made only two playoff appearances in the last 21 seasons. Adams has been a bright spot these past two years, regardless of who’s playing quarterback.

Once again, the team is looking for answers on both sides of the ball. A real positive was retaining interim head coach Antonio Pierce, who brought some much-needed to a club that hasn’t won a division title or playoff game since 2002.

Although it is highly unlikely, sending Adams to another team could bring a lot to the Silver and Black. The Raiders have some nice pieces, including rookie tight end Brock Bowers (1-Georgia), but could use some more help in terms of talent throughout the offensive side of the ball.

Los Angeles Chargers: OLB Khalil Mack

It’s been an offseason of salary cap hell for new Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz. There were four big decisions for the team to make. What to do with wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, as well as pass-rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack?

Williams was released and signed with the Jets while Allen was dealt to the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round pick this year. Elsewhere, Bosa and Mack restructured their contracts and remain with the team…at least for now.

The Bolts are looking to bounce back after a 5-12 season. The new head coach is Jim Harbaugh, off a national title with the University of Michigan. It remains to be seen what other changes are ahead for a franchise that will be 30 years removed from its only Super Bowl appearances.

In terms of a tradable commodity, Mack is the choice over Bosa. The 10-year pro has not missed a game in his two seasons with the Chargers. In 2023, he was tied for second in the league with a career-best 17.5 sacks. He finished with 74 tackles, five forced fumbles and knocked down 10 passes. There’s a lot of life left in the eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro.

Arizona Cardinals: S Budda Baker

There was talk less than a year ago that this standout performer could be on the move. It makes sense, considering Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker is one of the better performers at his position in the league. When it was all said and done, the six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro remained with the franchise that made him a second-round pick in 2017.

Baker comes off a season in which he appeared in a career-low 12 games. Yet, he still managed 87 total tackles, second on the team behind linebacker Kyzir White (90). On the other hand, he is Pro Football Focus’ 50th-ranked safety off this past season’s injury-shortened campaign.

It has already been a fascinating offseason for the safety spot, due to the many big names that were released prior to the start of the new fiscal year and those who eventually became unrestricted free agents. Geno Stone, Jordan Poyer and Xavier McKinney are now members of the Bengals, Dolphins and Packers, respectively. Darnell Savage signed with the Jaguars and Brandon Jones inked a deal with the Broncos. As of this writing, Justin Simmons, Eddie Jackson and Tashaun Gipson remain on the open market.

It’s a franchise that owns a combined 8-26 record since 2022 and is devoid of talent. The Cardinals drafted an NFL-high 12 players, seven in the first three rounds. This summer, Baker could command a second- or third-round selection by a team looking to make a Super Bowl run.

Los Angeles Rams: WR Cooper Kupp

He was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his 10 seasons. He was named All-Pro eight times and earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors on three occasions. It will be hard to imagine the Rams without defensive force Aaron Donald.

Here is what has been learned about this franchise with general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay at the controls. They find ways to win and there was no better example than a year ago. One season after capturing Super Bowl LVI, the team plummeted to 5-12. The Rams opted for youth in 2023 and slowly but surely the team gelled. The club finished 10-7 and reached the playoffs.

Snead drafted 10 players in April, hence the youth movement continues. So, could the team actually put the Super Bowl LVI MVP on the market? There would certainly be takers. Kupp had one of the great seasons by a wide receiver in NFL annals in 2021. He was limited to eight games in ’22, and rebounded smartly this past season.

Kupp was a third-round pick in 2017. Puka Nacua was a fifth-round selection last April and put up big numbers as a rookie. Snead has shown his draft prowess.

San Francisco 49ers: TE George Kittle

In recent years, there’s been that discussion regarding who the best tight end is currently in the NFL. Many gravitate toward Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and with good reason. He’s been part of four Super Bowl teams the past five years, and is now the NFL’s all-time leader in postseason receptions.

Others lean to San Francisco’s George Kittle, who has made his share of big plays. He has also been a vital part of Kyle Shanahan’s ground game.

The reigning NFC champions have been sort of in the news regarding trade talk, but it has nothing to do with the five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. There has been plenty of speculation regarding former first-round wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk , who is in the final year of his rookie contract. Stay tuned.

As for Kittle, he’s been one of the faces of the organization during the Kyle Shanahan Era. However, general manager John Lynch has never been shy when it comes to dealing for players (Jimmy Garoppolo and Christian McCaffrey) and trading them as well (DeForest Buckner).

Kittle would bring a lot to any organization in terms of production and intensity. Pro Football Focus’ No. 1 tight end would also be worthy of no less than a third-round draft choice.

Seattle Seahawks: WR D.K. Metcalf

There’s a new head coach in the Pacific Northwest. Former Baltimore Ravens’ defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald takes over for Pete Carroll. The Seattle Seahawks are coming off a second straight 9-8 showing, but their 2023 finish did not result in a return to the postseason.

For now, Geno Smith will be the team’s starting quarterback for the third straight year. He took a step or two backward this past season after earning NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2022. The Seahawks did swing a deal for Washington's Sam Howell, so stay tuned.

It’s not as if he doesn’t have an abundance of talent to work with in wide receivers Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and 2023 first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Lockett led the team in catches, while Metcalf paced the club in receiving yards and touchdown receptions. The latter is an imposing target at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds. He’s coming off his second Pro Bowl campaign and is under contract until 2025.

The Seahawks selected defensive tackle Byron Murphy (Texas) in the first round, but still have a lot of holes to fill on defense. Metcalf could net a big haul in terms of draft choices, so stay tuned. If general manager John Schneider was to part ways with any one of his talented receivers, D.K. would be the likely choice. However, that's a very big IF.

Letter from Europe

Playing on the PGA Tour is a big deal. But life on tour isn't always easy

Mike Ehrmann

EAST LOTHIAN, Scotland — News flash: Golf at the highest level is difficult. News flash (2): But even difficult golf can be fun. And both were on display during press conferences that formed part of the media day for July’s Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.

On the dark side of life on tour was Bob MacIntyre. Still relatively fresh from a European Ryder Cup debut and gaining his PGA Tour card through his stellar play on the DP World Tour in 2023, the Scot has found life in the New World to be so very different and a lot more stressful. In 12 PGA Tour starts this season, the 27-year-old from the remote Highland town of Oban has missed six cuts and recorded only two top-10s, one of those alongside Thomas Detry in the recent Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The big issue seems to have been chipping and putting on grasses he has only rarely seen before.

“If you've got a straightforward chip out here into a strong grain it changes the way you've got to play the shot,” he said. “I changed my technique slightly to try and help myself and give myself a bigger margin for error. But even on basic chips that I would be fancy to chip in, I'm thinking, ‘right, do I get the putter on this, just kind of damage limitation kind of stuff?’ When it goes wrong, it [the ball] only goes a yard in front of you. Then you've got a six-foot putt with the grain going the opposite way from the break; how do you read that?”

Much more upbeat was Tom Kim, whose two appearances in the Scottish Open have so far produced a third-place finish and a tie for sixth. It’s safe to say the 21-year-old South Korean is a fan of seaside golf, even if it is a little bit of a stretch to describe the Tom Doak-designed Renaissance as a traditional “links.”

Still, working from the bottom up, it is hard to imagine a more downbeat 20 minutes or so than those in which MacIntyre detailed how he has struggled with life far from home, both on and off the course in 2024. Even a three-week return to the friends and family comforts offered by his hometown (population 8,500) gave his overall mood only a temporary boost.

“When you're on the European DP World Tour, it's very friendly,” said the Scot, who emerged unbeaten from the three matches he played in his Ryder Cup debut. “Everyone is together. We're all traveling the world. If we're struggling with certain things, we speak to folk around us. Everything is very familiar. You come out here to the PGA Tour, and it's also so unfamiliar. There's less chatting. There's less dinners. There's just less of that big family feel that you get on the European Tour. If you're sitting on your own, guys will come and join you. Out here [MacIntyre is in South Carolina for this week’s Myrtle Beach Classic], because you don't know many folk … you don't know them in that same kind of depth … they don't come to sit with you. So it does become a lonely place.

“It is what it is,” he continued. “You've got to get on with it. But there are a lot of other things. New golf courses. In Europe, I've played the majority of them now. Over here, they are pretty much all new. Then you've got the different grasses. Having not been brought up playing a lot of Bermuda, grainy grass, pitching and putting is just completely different. I can't just jump home and see the family and get that kind of vibe, being chilled out. But again, it's part of the journey, and I've just got to get on with it.”

Lightening the mood more than a bit, Kim was quick to express his enthusiasm for all things Scottish and, in particular, the Renaissance Club.

“Whenever I go there, I always seem to really enjoy the way we play golf,” he said, from Quail Hollow, where this week he is competing in the Wells Fargo Championship. “It's just very, very different. You have to pick one shot. You have to commit to it. That's the biggest thing I've realized at links golf. You just have to commit, and you have to be able to take some bunkers out of play. In the U.S., there's some shots where you're … I think I can push this. I think I can try to take on this bunker. But over there, you just can't. You have to take a club that you cannot go in the bunker because bunkers are definitely red hazards. For some reason every time I go there, I can just picture a lot of good things. I have a lot of good vibes over there. I just seem to enjoy myself.”

Still, for all that his current mental game contrasts almost completely with that of MacIntyre, Kim was understanding of his fellow pro’s present predicament.

“I do think it is harder to adapt from Scotland to the U.S. because in Scotland there's not much grain,” said the three-time PGA Tour winner. “At home you don't have shots where when you hit, your club gets stuck in the ground. And when you're reading putts, there's not much grain at all. Then, when you come to the U.S., there's so many different grasses. You've got bent. You've got ryegrass. You've got Bermuda. You've got zoysia. There's four different type of grasses, even more. When you're adapting to that instead of just one grass, it definitely is harder.

“The lifestyle here on the PGA Tour, is all business,” continued Kim, confirming MacIntyre’s analysis. “When I played on the Asian Tour or DP World Tour, there was a lot of camaraderie. People go out to dinner and stuff like that. But here, you have your own team. You're trying to compete out here. When I first came, I definitely saw a different type of golf. That’s what makes these guys so good because they are all so dedicated and focused to their craft. So I do really think that guys from the DP World Tour might play great there, but it is hard to adapt coming from there to the PGA Tour.”

In January, fans and conservationists celebrated when the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission recommended landmark status for Marilyn Monroe’s home, a crucial step in saving the residence from being demolished.

The new owners of the Brentwood property were less ecstatic. They sued the city of L.A. on Monday for the right to demolish it, claiming that city officials acted unconstitutionally in their efforts to designate the home as a landmark and accusing them of “backdoor machinations” in trying to preserve a house that doesn’t meet the criteria for status as a historic cultural monument.

The lawsuit comes from heiress Brinah Milstein and her husband, reality TV producer Roy Bank, who bought the Spanish Colonial-style home last summer for $8.35 million and immediately laid out plans to raze it. They owned the house next door and hoped to combine the two properties to expand their place, according to the lawsuit.

Monroe bought the house in 1962 for $75,000 and died there six months later after an apparent overdose at the age of 36. The phrase “ Cursum Perficio ” — Latin for “The journey ends here” — was adorned in tile on the front porch, though its origin is a mystery.

Fans and conservationists claim the residence is a part of Hollywood history and a physical reminder of Monroe’s legacy.

Milstein and Bank disagree. Their lawsuit claims that the home has had 14 owners since Monroe’s death and has been substantially altered, with over a dozen permits issued for various remodels over the last 60 years.

“There is not a single piece of the house that includes any physical evidence that Ms. Monroe ever spent a day at the house, not a piece of furniture, not a paint chip, not a carpet, nothing,” the lawsuit says.

The house isn’t visible from the street, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a tourist hot spot. Fans and tour buses flock to the property to snap pictures of the privacy wall, which the lawsuit claims is a nuisance to the neighborhood.

The battle over the home has been brewing since September 2023, when the city issued a demolition permit to Milstein and Bank on Sept. 7. The public outcry was swift, and L.A. City Councilmember Traci Park said she received hundreds of emails and phone calls urging her office to initiate the process of declaring the home a historic cultural monument in order to save it.

Park held a news conference titled “Marilyn Monroe Home Preservation” the next day, delivering an impassioned speech while wearing red lipstick and short blond hair in a nod to Monroe.

After the speech, the City Council voted to begin the landmark consideration process, nullifying the demolition permits. The council will vote to officially on whether to declare the house a historic cultural monument this summer.

The goal of the lawsuit is to cancel that vote and restore the right to demolish the property.

While addressing the Cultural Heritage Commission in January, Milstein suggested relocating the home rather than designating it a landmark. It’s unclear whether that option is still possible.

“In the eight years that we have lived next door, we have seen the property change owners two times,” Milstein said while addressing the commission. “We have watched it go unmaintained and unkept. We purchased the property because it is within feet of ours. And it is not a historic cultural monument.”

The process of protecting potentially historic homes has been a hot topic in recent weeks. It most recently surfaced when Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger demolished the Zimmerman House , a beloved Midcentury home designed by Craig Ellwood, to build a modern mansion in its place.

The demolition sparked an outcry among locals and architecture enthusiasts, who questioned why the city allowed the Midcentury “time capsule” to be torn down.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Concerts and tour dates

Otava Yo is a one-of-a-kind and unique band. Experienced folk musicians decided to create a slightly less serious than usual music project, without sacrificing traditional Russian sounds. The result was a formation balancing on the border of entertainment and historical references. The multi-million views of the clips and a few very well received records are proof that the folk has not died and is even very well. The musicians play traditional instruments, thanks to which the listener can immerse themselves in unique, often inaudible sounds and absorb them without restrictions. At the same time, all this is adorned with a great sense of humor. Watching music videos Otava Yo is great fun, but only live you can fully experience the amazing atmosphere that beats from the band at every step.

Interview with Alexey Belkin of Russian Folk Band Otava Yo

Otava Yo is one of the rising acts in contemporary Russian folk music. The Saint Petersburg, Russian-based band has an excellent new album available internationally titled “ Do You Love ”

The lineup includes Alexey Belkin on vocals, bagpipes, gusli, zhaleika; Alexey Skosyrev on vocals, acoustic guitar; Dmitry Shikhardin on vocals, fiddle; Yulia Usova on vocals, violin; Petr Sergeev on bass drum and darbuka; and Timur Sigidin on bass.

Otava Yo’s leader Alexey Belkin talked to World Music Central about the band’s background and the new recording.

Q: How and when was Otava Yo formed?

On the streets of St. Petersburg in 2003, where we decided to busk for fun. The feedback from audience was so great, so we started to busk in St. Pete on a regular basis. That time we were playing instrumental Celtic music. Only after 3 years of occasional street performing, we made a first record and perceived our selves as a band.

Q: What do you consider as the essential elements of your music?

We try to keep music live, in terms that we do not like to copy somebody’s ideas, we prefer to invent our own bicycle. If we see some great idea created by somebody else – it inspires us to make something too. Also, we try to keep the main idea of folk songs and do not complicate them. If it is funny cheerful dance song we would not make from it jazzy lounge R&B.

Q: Who can you cite as your main musical influences?

I can talk only for myself. I used to listen to lots of Celtic artists – Chieftains , Carlos Nuñez , Silly Wizard , etc. and also Scandinavian bands like Hedningarna , Garmarna . I love Latvian band Iļģi . Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Michael Nyman. All of them could make influence on my musical taste.

Q: Tell us about your first recordings and your musical evolution.

The first recording with Otava Yo we made in 2006. After all those sessions on the streets we decide to make live album with everything we played for that time. So, it was an instrumental album with just 1 song. Raw and live. No bass guitar and no even bass drum. Exactly how we played on the streets.

Three years later we made a new album full of Russian traditional songs, the most popular ones. And it was recorded with using all studio possibilities. We made nice arrangements and used more instruments than we can play live, invited some friends. So, it was fun to make that record and to see how good this music could be recorded.

The new album “ Do you love ” in 2018 took us a 6 months of work in studio. And I believe it is our most matured work for now.

Q: Even though you live in a city, your music contains elements of Russian village music. How do you find traditional rural folk songs?

Well, we live in cities, but some of us used to stay in countryside. I myself till 15 years old stayed in very small town in private house in suburb of St. Petersburg. I was able to go for a walk without seeing a single car, if I wanted I could make a campfire with my friends in my yard, so it was a happy childhood of a small town boy. But there was no folklore in my life. It was USSR and communists did everything they could to steal folklore from Russian population and to replace it with fake academic folklore. But in spite of this the folk songs are all over, all you need just to wish to listen to them. The most of the song we sing we just know. Some of them we found in ethnographic recordings or books. But we never went to ethnographic expeditions.

Q: Otava Yo uses various traditional Russian instruments. Tell us about them and how common are they now?

The most common – electric guitar and bass, the rest are quite rare. Well, to be serious, it is a problem now with getting Russian traditional instruments. You are not able to buy them in store, the only way to get such instrument is only to order it directly from the maker and then wait for a few months. I ordered my new Russian village bagpipe in May, and it is ready only now. But it is worth the wait. How common?… Well, not really.

Q: Who makes your traditional musical instruments?

Different makers. Some of them are from St. Petersburg, some from other cities. My zhaleikas mostly made by Anton Platonov and Dmitry Dyomin. Gusli by Alexander Teplov. The new Russian bagpipe by Vasiliy Ivanov. Also, I am waiting for the new gaita chanter with keys from Moscow’s maker Alexander Anistratov. All of them you may find on Facebook.

Q: Otava Yo is also known for making captivating music videos. Tell us about the process of making videos and who is involved.

We make them in picaresque way. I have directed all the videos we made. As far as I didn’t study how to shoot video, so I was not afraid to start to make them and just started to do it without understanding the details of the whole video production process. First two videos we even shot by ourselves, only starting from “Street cleaner” we have invited professional camera man.

The process – usually I start to think about the song for which I would like to shoot video. I listen to it more than a hundred times. Then I come up with the main idea and start to work on the script. Then with my partner Vsevolod together we write final script and plan all the shootings details including what kind of equipment we will use and where will rent it. Then we shoot 🙂

After shooting we edit it and make post-production.

Nothing special or unusual. The only important thing – I suppose if we would invite the professional director from the side the result would not be like what we have now, just because it is impossible to find, so folklore involved and oriented director in Russia or outside of it. So, I had to invent everything especially for Otava Yo. I suppose it is a unique product we made in a single copy, it is very difficult to duplicate. So that’s the whole secret.

Q: How’s the current traditional and contemporary folk and world music scene in Saint Petersburg and other parts of Russia?

To be honest, quite bad. The amount of folk groups which on regular basis can play the concerts is very little. The ones which could attract more than 100 listeners even less. We do not have infrastructure for world music. The quantity of world music festivals is also quite low. But I think it is changing a little bit and also with our help too.

Q: If you could gather any musicians or musical groups to collaborate with whom would that be?

Well, I like Hedningarna and Penguin cafe, I think we could make something interesting together. And Rammstein of course 🙂

Q: Do you have any upcoming projects to share with us?

We are getting ready for Christmas tour, which will happen in January 2020. Now we are in the middle of “Once upon a time” tour which is dedicated to 10-year anniversary of our second album “Once upon a time”. Ten more concerts to go.

We need to finish the new video clip, which we shot in August. I wanted to create an adventurous comedy video, and I hope it will work out as I planned. We have some ideas for our YouTube show “Zelyonka”, where we invite other musicians and play together. The last month we had a great guests from Sweden – Garmarna . We plan several other interesting acts within this show. And of course we are planning to work on new songs, and this is the most important thing for us now. The recent live video with new song “Zalivochka” which we just uploaded gathered more than 100K views just for 2 days; that means people look forward for new songs from us.

I love the music and your vocals.

I grew up with a lot of folk music in the 1950’s and 1960’s in the US. You are one of my favorite folk bands and I understand very little Russian.

I stumbled across one of your videos a few weeks ago and have watched dozens since!! I live in the US and it is unlike folk music that I have heard before, though your energy and spirit remind me of bluegrass and Celtic. Your joy in performing it is contagious and always leaves me with a smile on my face.

I’ve just discovered that a number of your videos offer subtitles – this has made viewing your performances even more fun.

Thank you for what you do!!

My wife came across an Otava Yo video and shared it with me, then another, and another, and we quickly became fans of your exhuberent and lovely band! We love your music, your enthusiasm and eagerly wait for each new video that you create! Your music videos are simply a joy to watch and listen to!

I discovered Otava Yo whilst looking for Moscow Nights on YouTube in 2017. Now I am completely hooked. I wish they would come and play in Yorkshire where I live.

the real Slavic spirit is in the rural life, not the city. May Otava Yo help bright that spirit to all peoples!

Wow! I love your music and your videos fill me with joy. Thank you so much! Your friend in Saskatchewan, Canada!

Watching fro m Newzealand amazing 👌

Even though I cannot speak or understand Russian I absolutely love your band and your music!

Just fabulous joyfull music and beautiful film locations, was trying to work out where the band was from and kept coming up with they have to be russian obviously but lve never heard that type of music. Love it and hoping once covid is under control the band can come to Australia.. world music adelaide would be a real lover of your music .cheers from australia.

Otava Yo, you are amazing. We love your music very much here in Wyoming in the USA. We are avid celtic music fans (Planxty, Bothy Band, Talisk, Tannahill Weavers, Solas, Carlos Nunez, et cetera) and one day an Otava Yo video came on our YouTube feed. We are hooked on your lovely music. It’s so obvious you love the land and culture of your country. Your videos are utterly captivating. All the effort you put into them does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. You have made our lives better with your music. Thank you so much! P.S. I am a Highland Piper of 35 years. Wondering if you play the Scottish Highland Pipes as well.

Otava Yo, I agree with all the comments above. Cannot tell you how much your music inspires me and your videos always put me in a good mood. I’m a US Marine currently stationed in Germany, and cannot wait to see you in concert here in Europe! Thank you for making such wonderful music!!!

No Canadian dates yet? Guess I will make the trip to St.Petes then 🙂 “Discovered” The Tale of Ivan Groove 3 years ago and have been listening to it ever since. I play it all the time at our gatherings. Love when people ask what language that is. Keep the music flowing!!

Love your music and your videos! Come to Alaska!

I found Ivana groove on youtube 4-5 years ago Listened to you guys constantly When you coming to Montreal??? I want to live in that old village by the canal! Little rowboat to go visit the neighbours. Small old house with leaky roof and a wood stove Heaven!!

What type of fiddle is Dmitry playing? The female fiddle players play more traditional violins, but his fiddle looks like it’s on steroids.

I live in the US. I usually listen to bluegrass and love music with lots of instruments. Started looking for folk music from other countries and found Otava Yo on YouTube. I am now addicted. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the words if the music is great. I also like Hrdza from Slovakia.

They are just amazing, turn in on 24th of December for their ONLINE Christmas concert at 7pm (Moscow time).

What Aleksy forget to say is that they keep alive not only Russian folklore but European folklore too.

In the 1970s, the beacon of light was in the West and the USA. Today it’s in the East. While westerners try their best to destroy their roots, Eastern nation celebrate them. Just read what Aleksey says about what the communists in the USSR did with traditional songs, and you know what the new USSR in the West tries to do in with the same.

Canada’s Taylor Pendrith captures CJ Cup Byron Nelson for first career PGA Tour win

Canada’s Taylor Pendrith captured his first win on the PGA Tour at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Sunday with a steady final-round 67 (4-under). The 32-year-old outlasted a late run from PGA Tour journeyman Ben Kohles, whose hiccup on the 18th hole par-5 cost him a maiden title of his own.

Pendrith made a two-putt birdie on the 547-yard final hole while Kohles chunked a chip shot from less than 20 yards, making his first bogey of the day shortly after a birdie-birdie stretch to take a one-shot lead heading into 18.

The winning moment for Taylor Pendrith. He is your @cjbyronnelson champion 👏 pic.twitter.com/rX7kuHmvRl — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) May 5, 2024

Kohles and Pendrith have been pursuing their winning moments on the PGA Tour for over a decade, but on Sunday, it was the Ontario native’s turn to hoist the trophy. Kohles, who has fought to earn a PGA Tour card three times throughout his 12-year career as a professional took solo second place at 22-under.

“It’s crazy,” Pendrith said after holing his final birdie putt. “Ben played great today, he birdied 16 and 17. I didn’t hit my best iron shots down the stretch, but a good two-putt on the last. I feel for Ben, making bogey. He played so well today. But I’m super thrilled. It’s amazing — I’m shaking.”

Pendrith’s rounds of 64-67-63-67 to win in Texas will not only help lock up his PGA Tour status through 2026, but the performance will also guarantee him starts in the 2024 signature events, including next week’s Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hallow.

The 2024 season hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Pendrith. He has played through an injured shoulder for over 15 months, since last year’s Farmers Insurance Open. Pendrith was diagnosed with calcific tendinitis, a condition in the rotator cuff that causes inflammation and the formation of painful “calcium balls” in the shoulder. He underwent three non-surgical procedures to address the injury over the past year and a half, but so far the pain has continued to linger. Pendrith battles through the injury week-to-week and has lost club head speed due to limited mobility.

But the combination of a hot putter and some recent pain-free play helped Pendrith finally reach the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour. Pendrith is currently ranked 17th in strokes gained putting on Tour. He finished the 2023 season at 102nd and 2022 at 134th. The Canadian hasn’t three-putted in 188 holes.

Pendrith turned professional in 2014 after four years at Kent State University, where he was teammates with his PGA Tour peers Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes. Hughes greeted Pendrith on the 18th green on Sunday by pouring a cold beer down his neck.

MacKenzie Hughes needed to cool off the @cjbyronnelson champion 🍺 😂 pic.twitter.com/PWAnQqS9Fg — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) May 5, 2024

Pendrith played on and off on the PGA Tour Canada until he secured a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020 and converted a successful season into a PGA Tour card. His best finish before the CJ Cup Byron Nelson victory was a T2 finish at the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic. In addition to Sunday’s win, Pendrith has carded four top-11 finishes on Tour this season.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers.
