Jay Cutler has decided to postpone retirement for the chance to be Ryan Tannehill’s replacement.
Cutler agreed to terms Sunday on a contract with the Miami Dolphins, a person familiar with the situation said. The person confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins weren’t expected to announce the deal until Cutler signed the $10 million, one-year deal.Alshon Jeffery Jersey
Cutler will compete with Matt Moore for a starting job while Tannehill remains out with a left knee injury that could sideline him for the entire season.
Dolphins coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears when Cutler had a career-best quarterback rating with them in 2015. Gase joined Miami in 2016, and Cutler parted with Chicago in March after eight seasons.
Cutler,Walter Payton Jersey 34, drew little interest in the spring as a free agent, perhaps partly because of his prickly personality and tendency for turnovers.
”I guess I know a different guy than what everybody else portrays,” Gase said in May, when Cutler was hired by Fox as an analyst to work on its No. 2 NFL team.
Tannehill, who missed the final four games of last season with two sprained ligaments in his knee, reinjured it a week into training camp Thursday.Kyle Long Jersey The damage is similar last year’s injury, a personal familiar with the diagnosis said, which has left the Dolphins consulting with specialists to determine whether surgery is the best option for Tannehill.
He’s expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks, but the deal with Cutler signals the Dolphins anticipate Tannehill will need a lengthier recovery.Kevin White Jersey
Cutler is 68-71 as a starter with a career quarterback rating of 85.7, 208 touchdown passes and 146 interceptions. Several NFL starting QBs are older, including New England’s Tom Brady,Danny Trevathan Jersey who just turned 40.
Moore turns 33 next week and has 28 starts in 10 seasons. Last year he helped the Dolphins clinch their first postseason berth since 2008, going 2-1 as a starter to end the regular season before a first-round playoff loss at Pittsburgh.
Gase gave Moore only a tepid endorsement Friday, saying: ”Right now Matt is our quarterback.”
¿Polinizadores en peligro?
Son varias las causas que se barajan para explicar un posible descenso de polinizadores, tanto silvestres como domésticos. La mayoría de estos factores, que afectan a la biodiversidad en general y a la abundancia y diversidad de polinizadores en particular, se han estudiado de forma aislada, pero raramente actúan de esta forma en la naturaleza.
¿Qué podemos hacer?
Podríamos empezar por:
- Concienciarnos de la importante labor que los polinizadores desempeñan en la naturaleza, valorarlos y respetarlos.
- Reducir el uso de productos químicos, empleándolos sólo en aquellos casos en los que resulte imprescindible y seleccionando los productos menos nocivos para el medio.
- Respetar la distribución natural de las especies, tanto animales como vegetales, evitando introducciones innecesarias en los ecosistemas.
- Utilizar especies vegetales autóctonas en parques, jardines, para la formación de setos, en los proyectos de restauración de ecosistemas, etc.
- Fomentar la investigación y los estudios relacionados con la polinización de las plantas.
