New England upped its offer but Humphries is still headed to Tennessee."The New England Patriots’ wide receiver situation remains a work in progress: the team lost Cordarrelle Patterson to a two-year Authentic Joejuan Williams Jersey , $10 million offer from the Chicago Bears on Tuesday, before re-signing Phillip Dorsett for one season on Wednesday. With Dorsett and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman the only proven wideouts under contract for now, however, the Patriots still very much remain in the market for a receiver.One player they apparently had an eye on was free agent Adam Humphries, formerly of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming off a highly productive four-year stint during which the former undrafted rookie caught 219 passes for 2,329 yards and nine touchdowns, Humphries was seen as one of the best wideout options on the market — and a potentially tremendous addition to the Patriots’ offense giving his short-area quickness and excellent route running.On Monday, however, Humphries agreed to join the Tennessee Titans on a reported four-year, $36 million contract offer. New England was in the running all day long, but the 25-year-old ultimately chose the team coached by ex-Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel. The reigning world champions, according to Pats Pulpit alumnus Evan Lazar of CLNS Media, had an offer on the table for roughly $30 million over a four-year span.According to NESN’s Doug Kyed, the Patriots raised their offer on Tuesday to give Humphries more money per year and a higher guarantee than the Titans. The free agent apparently stayed on course and committed to Tennessee, even though he reportedly had second thoughts about choosing the Titans over the opportunity to play alongside future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady in New England. For what it’s worth, no deal was announced yet.Ultimately Joejuan Williams Jersey Boys , Humphries will likely still go to the Titans despite all the speculation — the Patriots have only so much financial flexibility with $12.3 million in salary cap space for 2019. That being said, the reports show that the team is committed to improving its wide receiver position one way or the other. And with other veteran players like Golden Tate, Kevin White and Randall Cobb still available, one has to wonder whether the club pulls the trigger on an outside addition soon. ATLANTA (AP) — If you’re on the lookout for Super Bowl tickets, be prepared to fork over several thousand dollars.But if you make it through the gates, here’s a bit of good news for your wallet.A hot dog can be had for a couple of bucks. A slice of pizza will set you back a mere $3.Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which made waves in the sports industry by becoming the first facility to introduce so-called “fan first” pricing at its concession stands, is keeping those budget items on the menu for the biggest event in its short history — Sunday’s NFL title game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.“It’s what you would want if you went with your family to a sporting event,” said Scott Jenkins, the stadium’s general manager. “It’s good food, and it’s at a fair price.”So, if your stomach is growling but your bank account is light, consider a pretzel or popcorn. Like the hot dog, each of those stadium staples is just $2. For that same price, you can wash it all down with a bottle of water or a soft drink that comes with free refills. If you’re in the mood for something stronger, a domestic beer checks in at $5.“When I’ve been around Youth Irving Fryar Jerseys , scouting out big events, the prices are high and they go higher,” Jenkins said. “We made it clear when we bid that our prices were fan first, and we’re keeping them for the Super Bowl.”The $1.5 billion stadium, which opened less than two years ago and is best known for a complex retractable roof that opens and closes like a camera lens, is also looking to make a Super splash with some of its higher-priced food items.Especially those that show off the South’s culinary heritage.A hefty order of chicken and waffles, accompanied by sorghum butter, creamy cole slaw and sweet pickles, checks in at $12. But the item likely to make the biggest splash with fans is the “C.O.S.” — the Closed On Sunday chicken sandwich. That is renowned chef Kevin Gillespie’s take on an Atlanta staple, the Chick-fil-A sandwich.While the $14 price tag might sound a bit hefty compared to some of those aforementioned budget items — and certainly to a Chick-fil-A offering — it’ll probably seem worth it when you’ve finished off a fried chicken breast (sorry, the seasoning is a closely guarded secret) lathered in spicy pickled mayonnaise and served between two honey butter buns.“We’ve taken our record-setting day, the most we’ve ever sold, and we’ve doubled that,” said Gillespie, who also runs two of metro Atlanta most acclaimed restaurants. “We’ll see if we run out again on Super Bowl Sunday.”There’s actually a Chick-fil-A stand within Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but as everyone in this part of the country certainly knows: the fast-food restaurant is closed on Sundays (hence the name of Gillespie’s creation).Yep Irving Fryar Jerseys Stitched , even on Super Bowl Sunday.That spot will be occupied by another vendor, so Gillespie has the big game’s chicken sandwich spotlight all to himself.“We feel like a lot of folks have probably read about this stuff, so we want them to have a chance to taste it,” he said. “We decided to stick with the same menu, stick with the exact same pricing, don’t turn it up just because it’s the Super Bowl. We’re pretty pumped about it. We think we’re going to have a pretty busy day on Sunday.”The Mercedes-Benz cooks also came up with several items to honor the Super Bowl teams.The “L.A. Chicharron Dog” is an homage to the team from La La Land — a hot dog covered with pinto beans, jalapenos, garlic, roasted poblano pepper strips, cotija cheese, tajin-seasoned chicharrones (essentially, fried pork rinds) and cilantro. Not exactly for the faint of heart (or anyone with heart issues).Speaking of an angioplasty waiting to happen, the offering for the AFC champion Patriots is the “N.E. Beantown Frank,” which is covered with northern beans, maple syrup, Nueske’s bacon and green onions.“This is us playing in the kitchen Infant Yodny Cajuste Jersey ,” said Matt Cooper, the executive chef at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. “Once we saw the teams that were playing in the Super Bowl, all us chefs got together and came up with some ideas for New England and LA.”His favorite?“I’m going to lean toward LA,” Cooper said. “That’s where I’m originally from.”On the drink side, there’s the PaLomA (yes, the “L” and the “A” are capitalized for obvious reasons), a libation comprised of tequila, ruby red grapefruit, soda water and a blood orange wedge. Patriot fans might prefer to opt for the New Englander — vodka, cranberry and soda water adorned with a lime wedge.Much like the teams that will be looking to claim a title on the field, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is eager to grab a prize of its own in the kitchen.The champion of Super Bowl stadium food.“We have a lot of eyes on us,” Cooper said. “It’s going to be a fun one.”
