Adolfson & Peterson has tapped John Herrera, a company veteran who joined when he was a teenager, as its next chief operating officer, according to a Tuesday announcement from the builder.
In his capacity as COO, Herrera will focus on leadership across the Minneapolis-based firm's national operations, per the announcement.
Prior to his appointment, Herrera served as the regional president of AP Mountain States, which includes Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah. He will remain based in Colorado during his tenure as COO.
The appointment comes amid a broader executive shuffle at AP that began early last year when the firm tapped Brad Hendrickson as its COO in March 2025. Less than a year later, then-CEO Jeff Hansen announced his retirement, with Hendrickson lined up as successor.

The WNBA learned in early September that commissioner Cathy Engelbert has decided to step down and retire from her position following this season. Engelbert has overseen a successful tenure that has helped elevate the WNBA's profile and grow the league's brand.
Now, the league will need to find Engelbert's successor. Several names have already been suggested as potential candidates. However, some of the WNBA's biggest stars may also have a voice in who should succeed Engelbert.

Union Berlin head coach Mauro **** rinelli acknowledged that his side's continued defensive problems extend well beyond one system or one centre-back partnership after Friday evening's 1-3 home defeat against Schalke 04. The result leaves Union with one point from their opening three Bundesliga fixtures and, considerably more concerningly, ten goals conceded.
Lustrinelli's side opened the campaign with a chaotic 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt before suffering a comprehensive 4-0 away defeat at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend. Schalke then became the third consecutive opponent to exploit a defensive unit still attempting to adjust to significant tactical and personnel changes.
"It's a lot of small things," **** rinelli told Sky Germany when asked about the ten goals conceded. "We're too undisciplined. We're not keeping up with the opponent. And the opponent profits. They exploit it. And we need too many chances to score goals. The two things are decisive over the course of 90 minutes."
The warning signs predate the Bundesliga campaign.
GGFN highlighted Union's defensive instability throughout preseason, with **** rinelli experimenting with multiple formations while attempting to move the club away from the three-centre-back structures that had defined the era of Urs Fischer and his successors.

AVGO is already designing OpenAI's third-generation XPU, with Hock Tan projecting $115 billion in AI revenue for 2027 and $230 billion in 2028.
Samsung's role in OpenAI's next-gen chips remains unspecified, whether in memory, fabrication, or design, and only a design mandate for Jalapeno's successor would truly threaten Broadcom.
AVGO trades at 19 times forward earnings against a $533 ***** yst consensus price target, backed by 45 Buy or Strong Buy ratings versus just 4 Holds.
Just released. Our ***** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and Broadcom didn't make the cut. Enter your email to see the names that beat AVGO. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Broadcom's (NASDAQ:AVGO) position inside OpenAI became one of the most valuable customer relationships in semiconductors in June, when OpenAI unveiled Jalapeno, its first custom AI inference chip, developed with Broadcom. That work put Broadcom inside a customer that could become one of the largest silicon buyers on the planet.

Little more than 20 years after he signed his first contract to be the Commissioner of the National Football League, Roger Goodell has put his name at the bottom of the newest one.
The NFL announced on Sunday afternoon that the league's Compensation Committee has informed the full membership that an agreement has been reached on a four-year extension. Goodell is now under contract through March 31, 2031.
His prior deal would have expired in March 2027. With few if any obvious successors in play, Goodell had plenty of leverage.
In the memo to all owners, a copy of which PFT has obtained, Patriots owner Robert Kraft explained that the Committee "worked closely with an independent third-party compensation consultant and outside counsel to structure a deal that aligns Roger's compensation with the League's long-term interests and success."
The contract ties 95 percent of the total compensation to Goodell's and the league's "performance measured against various metrics and at the discretion of the Compensation Committee."

On May 22, the Federal Reserve entered a new era, with President Donald Trump's handpicked successor to Jerome Powell, Kevin Warsh, sworn in as the 17th Fed chair. It also marked a period of uncertainty amid this transition for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC).
Warsh has wasted little time setting a new tone as head of the central bank. He's done away with forward-looking guidance in Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting statements and declared "the Fed's predominant focus right now should be on prices."

Though FOMC policymakers are bound to uphold the dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability, the latter is of far greater importance at the moment. Trailing 12-month inflation reached a three-year high of 4.2% in May, driven primarily by Trumpflation vis-à-vis tariffs and the Iran war.

TCU coach Sonny **** s took a shot at Josh Hoover's three-year production with the Horned Frogs during the offseason, saying that "stats are stats" when discussing his former quarterback's numbers.
If Hoover was looking for a way to respond, he delivered it on the field Saturday.

In his Indiana debut, the TCU transfer avoided turnovers and led the sixth-ranked Hoosiers to a Week 1 win over North Texas, showing why he's expected to be a serious contender in this season's Heisman Trophy race.

This has been a history-packed year for Wall Street, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) romping to new highs, and the largest-ever initial public offering taking shape. But the swearing in of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh on May 22 arguably takes the cake.
Jerome Powell's successor vowed to lead a reform-oriented central bank and hasn't veered from that promise over the last three months. Since taking the reins, Warsh has shelved forward-looking guidance from Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting statements and commissioned five task forces to aid the Fed in its conduct of monetary policy.

But President Donald Trump's handpicked successor to Jerome Powell became Fed chair at one of the most challenging times throughout history. The trailing 12-month inflation rate reached a three-year high of 4.2% in May, putting Warsh on a similar collision course with Trump over interest rates that his predecessor, Powell, often found himself on.
Thus far, President Trump has given Warsh a pass on direct criticism -- but the same can't be said of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Garn-St Germain bars lenders from calling a parent's mortgage due at death, letting heirs keep a 3% rate locked against today's 6.73% average.
Heirs must file a death certificate or probate order with the servicer to establish successor-in-interest status before making payments on the inherited loan.
Reverse mortgages fall outside Garn-St Germain, and a HECM becomes due at the borrower's death, forcing heirs to pay off, sell, or surrender the property.
Read More: Learn 7 ways to generate income with a $1,000,000+ portfolio (sponsor)
If your parent still holds a mortgage locked in near 3% from the refinancing wave earlier this decade, that loan itself has become an ****** et worth considering. With the 30-year fixed averaging 6.73% at the end of August 2026 and the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.75% as of August 31, 2026, a below-market fixed rate is effectively something you inherit along with the house. A federal law passed back in 1982 says that when a homeowner dies and the property passes to a relative, the lender cannot use the death as an excuse to call the loan due. The kids can keep both the house and the rate.

BEIRUT, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The Iran war has reached its endgame: a costly stalemate.
Six months after U.S. and Israeli forces attacked Iran, killing its supreme leader and maiming his son and successor, the Iranian government is under economic siege, but it still holds power and believes it has time on its side.
A threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose crippling new sanctions on Iran faces a fundamental problem: Tehran is betting he will not take the final step to break the stalemate - aggressively enforcing secondary sanctions on the countries keeping its economy afloat, foremost among them China and India.
Washington's latest measures, announced on Monday, mark a new phase in the conflict that began on February 28, shifting the battlefield from missiles and airstrikes to Iran's oil revenues, banks and trading partners.

The clues to the run sat in dated interconnect milestones, not in the custom-silicon question that dominated the argument surrounding the stock.
Marvell Technology (MRVL) stock returned 233.5% over the past year, against 21.0% for the S&P 500. The argument that filled those months was custom silicon, and whether the company would keep its lead accelerator program. Its own disclosures before the run pointed somewhere quieter, and that is where the payoff came from.
The Earliest Sign Was A Chip, Not A Forecast
In December 2024, Marvell reported that it had begun shipping the industry's first 1.6T PAM DSP, the part inside the optical modules that carry traffic between AI accelerators, and announced a three-nanometer successor designed to cut optical module power by more than 20%. Those PAM parts sit inside the interconnect portfolio, and connectivity had by then become just as critical as the processors themselves, by the company's own account. At its fiscal Q1 2026 results in May 2025, the last quarterly report filed before the run began, management said shipments were underway at five nanometers and the bigger ramp was still ahead.
The Numbers Filed Just Before The Run Cut Both Ways

Premier League history was made before a ball was even kicked this season as a record nine clubs started the campaign with new managers.
The post-Andoni Iraola has begun at Bournemouth under new head coach Marco Rose, who last managed RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
So how did he fare on an eventful first weekend of the 2026-27 campaign?
The German successor came within six minutes of starting his Premier League career with a statement win at Manchester City, only to concede two late goals to suffer a heartbreaking loss.

Guinness Global Innovators, an investment management company, recently released its Q2 2026 quarterly investor update for its "Guinness Global Innovators Fund". You can download the letter here. The Guinness Global Innovators Fund focuses on investing in global companies that benefit from innovation in technology, communication, globalization, and management strategies. In the second quarter of 2026, the Guinness Global Innovators Fund returned 13.8% in GBP, compared with 13.0% for the MSCI World Index and 13.1% for the IA Global sector average. Easing Middle East tensions, falling oil prices, and renewed enthusiasm for artificial intelligence helped reverse much of the caution seen earlier in the year, with investors rotating back toward growth stocks and AI infrastructure beneficiaries. The Fund benefited from its overweight position in the Information Technology sector, while its overweight position in Communication Services detracted. Avoiding weaker Utilities, Materials, and Energy also supported relative performance. Also, please check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Guinness Global Innovators Fund highlighted Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) noting it was one of the weaker performers during the quarter. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is a leading subscription-based streaming entertainment platform. On August 21, 2026, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) closed at $79.59 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $331.41 billion. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) posted a one‑month return of 13.05%, while its shares lost 34.66% over the past 52 weeks.
Guinness Global Innovators Fund stated the following regarding Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), the streaming giant, was one of the Fund's weaker performers over the quarter, following a harsh share price reaction to its last quarterly print. Shares sold off despite strong organic growth driven by strong membership numbers, higher pricing, and increased advertising revenue. There was also a boost to earnings per share from the termination fee related to Paramount's merger with Warner Bros, as Netflix had previously been in talks to acquire the latter's studio and streaming ****** ets. However, the market was disappointed by Netflix choosing to maintain guidance for 2026 despite the positive momentum seen in the first quarter. This was taken as a potential indicator of growth deceleration in future quarters, with some questioning whether Netflix can sustain pricing power given the increases it has already pushed through the subscriber base. The company also announced the departure of its Co-founder and Chairman Reed Hastings to focus on philanthropic and other pursuits. Netflix has since named its longstanding board member Jay Hoag as his successor, indicating there should be continuity in the firm's strategy. The bid for Warner Bros was a departure from Netflix's historic modus

Premier League history was made before a ball was even kicked this season as a record nine clubs started the campaign with new managers.
Gary O'Neil got his first taste of action as Ipswich manager after succeeding Kieran McKenna, who stepped down from his role to spend more time with his family after managing the team for four-and-a-half years.
So how did he fare on an eventful first weekend of the 2026-27 campaign?
Ipswich have backed McKenna's successor with big money in the transfer market, £150m on a dozen signings, and O'Neil was rewarded with a vital victory against Sunderland.

Will Howard's terrible preseason performance against the New York Jets was definitely one to forget. It was so bad that some even believed Howard threw away a roster spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the young quarterback doesn't seem particularly concerned about the horrendous outing.
Speaking with the media following the two-interception performance in the preseason loss, Howard downplayed his struggles and claimed that how he bounces back is all that really matters.
"If you play quarterback in the NFL, you're going to throw interceptions," Howard said. "I've played quarterback my whole life and I've thrown a lot of interceptions. It comes with the game. I feel like I've been through enough and seen enough that getting down after one pick isn't going to help anything. It's all about how you come back. Obviously, you don't wanna have a [second interception], but you gotta come back after that."
For reference, the Jets, who hadn't intercepted a pass since August 22, 2025, had a field day with Howard, picking him off not once, but twice in the span of seven minutes and thirty seconds. Howard completed 10 of 15 passes for 74 yards and two interceptions to finish out the contest.
While you love to see how well Howard is handling adversity, the mistakes against the Jets were extremely costly in the 17-0 shutout loss. So much so that it makes you wonder if Drew Allar is the only realistic successor for this team.

Over the last few months, it has become apparent that Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) is Warren Buffett's favorite artificial intelligence (AI) stock. Although he retired from his role as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, he was the one who initiated its initial investment in the tech giant -- a stake that has grown into its third-largest equity holding under his successor, Greg Abel.
Buffett has repeatedly stated that forever is his favorite holding period for an investment, and even now, he appears to retain his talent for finding such stocks. Thus, Berkshire's newest megastock is likely a good fit for individual portfolios as well, and two reasons explain why.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
For all of the hype about artificial intelligence (AI), Alphabet continues to earn most of its revenue from digital advertising. It began applying AI to its applications back in 2001. However, it has likely drawn more attention with Google Gemini, which seems to have answered the competitive threats from ChatGPT and Claude.
Moreover, it has leveraged the technology to drive growth at Google Cloud, the platform through which it provides foundational models, developer tools, and infrastructure for AI, including support for Google Gemini. So successful is its approach that Google Cloud grew its revenue by 82% year over year in the second quarter of 2026.

Newcastle United have opened talks with defender Lewis Hall over a new contract.
According to Sam C, the Magpies are keen to tie Hall down to a new long-term contract with improved terms as they look to fend off interest from Premier League rivals.
Newcastle have already been picked apart this summer. They have lost Sandro Tonali and captain Bruno Guimaraes and are in no mood to lose yet another key player.
The Magpies are going through a period of change this summer, with Eddie Howe's exit standing as arguably the biggest departure from the club.
Newcastle have since appointed Matthias Jassle as Howe's successor and are working on bringing in reinforcements to bolster the squad.

Manchester City have set their sights on a deal for AS Roma's Manu Kone following the confirmation of Tijjani Reijnders's exit yesterday.
Reijnders joined Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Qadsiah after only one season at the Etihad.
Having also facilitated the departure of talisman Rodri to Barcelona in recent days, Enzo Maresca is now sweating over how his side will be lining up for the season ahead with such crucial names gone.
Along with the two midfielders this week, long-serving Blues Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and John Stones all bid farewell to City at the end of 2025/2026 – not to mention the fact that Pep Guardiola also pulled the curtains on his tenure.
His successor, formerly of Chelsea and Leicester City, faces an uphill battle to maintain the standard Guardiola had set over the last nine years.

SIG, the Swiss food packaging company, was supposed to be proving its turnaround was working. Instead, investors got a surprise CEO exit, no detailed explanation and a stock chart that looked like someone dropped the carton.
SIG Group shares suffered their biggest-ever intraday fall after the company replaced chief executive Mikko Keto less than six months after he took the job.
Keto, who joined in the spring, has been replaced with immediate effect by chief financial officer Ann-Kristin Erkens. She will also remain CFO until SIG appoints a successor.
The company said its transformation program, launched in the second half of last year, was starting to show results. In the first half of 2026, adjusted EBIT margin improved to 15.6% from 14.8% a year earlier, while free cash flow improved by more than €100 million year on year.

Every so often, the six children of Jerry Buss that make up the family trust have a public dispute over the Los Angeles Lakers that reminds us how little they see eye-to-eye when it comes to their father's vision for the team he bought in 1979.
The latest instance came Monday when ESPN's Shams Charania reported the Buss siblings agreed to sell their remaining 17.8 percent stake in the Lakers as part of Mark Walters' sale to Joshua Kushner and Bob Iger, effectively removing Jeanie Buss as governor of the team... only for an attorney for Jeanie to write a letter contesting the sell.
"This is just the latest instance of a years-long pattern whereby Joey and Jesse Buss leak false, defamatory and pernicious 'information' to Mr. Charania for the malicious purpose of doing harm to the Los Angeles Lakers so long as Dr. Buss's chosen successor, Jeanie Buss, carries out her father's wishes," the letter read.
In essence, a year after the Buss' sold their majority stake to Walter -- a process many of the siblings were frustrated by and one that allowed Jeanie to remain governor through 2030 -- the siblings have now voted to sell their remaining stake without the blessing of Jeanie. Thus, we're headed for another public family feud.
And can they please spare us this time? I would love nothing more than if the Buss' could settle their differences privately for once.

Kevin De Bruyne is Manchester City's greatest ever player. Erling Haaland will hoover up the club's goalscoring records; or those he does not already possess, anyway. Bernardo Silva made the most appearances of anyone for City in the last four decades, the most under Pep Guardiola and felt the manager's favourite.
And yet perhaps the Barcelona-bound Rodri was the definitive player of Guardiola's time at the Etihad Stadium. It helped, of course, that he scored the most momentous goal, the one that finally made City champions of Europe. Rodri against Inter in Istanbul: few supporters will ever need an explanation of that.
Rodri bids farewell to Manchester City after a talismanic spell at the club (PA)
Rodri was a colossal figure but also a symbolic one. Guardiola's football stemmed from the midfield and Rodri was the controller supreme, with a pass completion rate forever in the nineties and an ability to win the ball back. He was simultaneously a constructive and destructive presence. He played in Guardiola's old position; yet he smashed through the glass ceiling for defensive midfielders.
None had won the Ballon d'Or, arguably, since Josef Masopust in 1962. Rodri did. None had ever won the World Cup's Golden Ball. Rodri did. He arrived at the Etihad Stadium with the suspicion he may have been overpriced, having to adapt from Diego Simeone's football to Guardiola's, at the end of a long search for Fernandinho's successor which had taken in midfielders as different – from each other as from him – as Fred and Jorginho.

New Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli says the passionate nature of Scottish football was a key factor in his taking the job.
Pocognoli, 39, was confirmed as Steve Clarke's successor on Sunday and introduced himself to the media on Monday.
Clarke ended his seven-year reign earlier this summer after Scotland failed to progress from the World Cup group stage after a victory over Haiti was followed by defeats by Morocco and Brazil.
Former Belgium defender Pocognoli left Monaco at the end of last season and previously led Union Saint-Gilloise to their first league ***** le in 90 years in 2024-25.
He becomes only the second foreign boss of the Scotland men's team, after the German Berti Vogts, and believes he has what it takes to build on Clarke's "strong foundation".

West Bromwich Albion head coach James Morrison says the thing that most frustrated him about captain Alex Mowatt's eve-of-season exit to Derby County was the timing of it.
For the second season running, following Darnell Furlong's departure to Ipswich Town a year ago, the Baggies have lost the captain they started the season with.
But Mowatt's successor George Campbell proved a lucky on-field general in Saturday's somewhat fortuitous 2-1 win at Norwich.
And Morrison is now only looking forward after Albion's third successive opening-day Championship win in as many seasons.
"It's just football," Morrison told BBC Radio WM. "There's a little bit of a hangover. But am I going to let it derail me? No. I've got to lead the team and set an example and show that it can't affect us.

Chennai Super Kings are preparing for a significant transition after the end of Stephen Fleming's 18-year ***** ociation with the franchise, and former India opener K Srikkanth believes Michael Hussey could be the ideal man to take the team forward. Fleming's departure has left CSK searching for a new head coach for the first time in nearly two decades. The former New Zealand captain joined the franchise as a player in the inaugural IPL season in 2008 before taking over as head coach in 2009.
Over the next 17 years, Fleming became one of the central figures behind CSK's identity, guiding the franchise to five IPL ***** les and two Champions League T20 trophies. His exit comes after CSK missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.
Fleming has since taken up a new challenge, being appointed England's Test head coach, replacing Brendon McCullum.
As speculation grows over Fleming's successor, former India and CSK player Ravichandran Ashwin recently suggested that former England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan could be among the names in contention. Srikkanth, however, has firmly rejected that possibility.
"I won't go for Eoin Morgan for sure. He was a good player and a good captain for England. But as a coach, I won't accept him as an option. Even for KKR as their captain, he didn't do anything great. It'll be best if he just sticks to commentary," said Srikkanth, speaking on his YouTube channel.
He also advised CSK against considering Brendon McCullum, who previously coached Kolkata Knight Riders and guided them to the IPL final in 2021.
"It'll be good for CSK if they don't appoint Brendon McCullum as the head coach. They should say no to both Morgan and McCullum," he added.
Instead, Srikkanth believes CSK already have a familiar figure within their ecosystem who could seamlessly step into the role. His choice is former CSK opener Michael Hussey, who has previously worked with the franchise as a batting coach.
"CSK don't need anyone from outside when they have Mr Cricket with him. Michael Hussey should be the automatic head coach. He will be the best choice," Srikkanth said.
The coaching vacancy is only one part of a much bigger transition facing CSK. The franchise's most successful era was built around the close partnership between Fleming and MS Dhoni, with the duo forming the tactical and cultural backbone of the team for years.
Dhoni's future is another major question for the franchise, particularly as CSK look to build around captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and a younger core. Srikkanth himself believes that issue needs to be settled before the franchise can properly determine its next coaching structure.
"But what will MS Dhoni's place in CSK be going forward? That arrangement has to be fixed first, and only then will everything else fall in place," he said.
That could prove to be the most important decision of CSK's transition.

Nick Reiner has reiterated his demand for access to his family's trust fund in a Friday declaration, obtained and reviewed by TheWrap. The document argues that a portion of the fund became "due and payable" to Reiner upon turning 30 years old and that he hadn't been informed by a prior trustee that the sum was owed to him.
Reiner is charged with the murder of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Reiner, who were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif. residence Dec. 14. Reiner has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In his new filing, Reiner argues that he did not give "consent to any Trustee of my Trust to withhold, defer or retain" his distribution that unlocked at the age of 30, estimated at the value of $558,000.
In a response objecting to Reiner's petition, also obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, the defense argues that Paul Kanin, a former successor trustee, cannot act against the new trustee, Jodie Pais Montgomery, because he no longer controls the trust's ***** ets. The document also argues that Reiner's allegations of misconduct mischaracterize "ordinary, necessary features of trust administration and succession."
"Nick's sense of urgency is real, but it did not arise in a vacuum," argues the objection. "It arises from the deaths of his parents, the very settlors of the Trust at issue, and Nick is presently accused of causing those deaths. While Nick is presumed innocent of that accusation (and nothing in this Response and Objection should be read to suggest otherwise), no one, not this Court, nor the parties, knows how the criminal proceedings against Nick will ultimately resolve. A trustee administering a trust under that uncertainty is bound by the same fiduciary obligations as any trustee."

Ty Simpson didn't just have a great first NFL game; he had a historic one. The Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback became the first player since Baker Mayfield in 2018 to throw for 190 yards and two touchdowns in his preseason debut, according to ESPN. Simpson completed 21-of-25 passes with no turnovers or sacks in his first NFL action against the Chiefs.
Head coach Sean McVay said afterward that Simpson had "good command" of the offense, adding that he took what the defense gave him. Simpson himself stayed measured discussing the outing, saying that he still has a lot to learn about the offense.
The comparison to Mayfield's 2018 debut, where the ex-Browns quarterback completed 11-of-20 for 212 yards and two touchdowns without an interception against the Giants, is notable given how that game is remembered. Mayfield's rookie flash launched a run that included four teams in seven seasons. He played four seasons in Cleveland before a 2020 trade to the Panthers, a waiver claim by the Rams, and eventually a landing spot in Tampa Bay, where he's been the starting quarterback for the past three seasons.
Simpson's situation should look different by design. Los Angeles drafted him as the presumptive successor to Matthew Stafford, meaning his path, if things go according to plan, is a matter of patience rather than a search for the right fit.
Despite the strong debut, Simpson still technically needs to beat out Stetson Bennett for the No. 2 job behind Stafford, and he won't crack the starting lineup barring injury. The Rams will get more chances to evaluate his growth as the preseason continues, with his workload in a potential third preseason game offering another data point on where he stands in the quarterback pecking order heading into roster cuts.

The Rams will get more chances to evaluate his growth as the preseason continues, with his workload in a potential third preseason game offering another data point on where he stands in the quarterback pecking order heading into roster cuts.
