He may not have agreed to it, but Gold Coast coach Rodney Eade claims he isnt upset at Jaeger OMearas decision to request a trade to AFL rivals Hawthorn.OMeara has missed the past two seasons with knee problems since succumbing to a patella tendon injury in April 2015.As a result such, OMeara hasnt played in an Eade-coached Gold Coast team.Asked if he was gutted by OMearas trade request, Eade told SEN radio: No, I wasnt because I havent coached him.He hasnt played a game.Eade has backed the Suns to rebound from OMearas looming exit despite comparing the young midfielders departure to Patrick Dangerfield leaving Adelaide and Hawthorn losing Leigh Matthews.But Eade revealed he told OMeara he didnt agree with the move when the gun midfielder made his decision.He phoned me about it so I thought that was nice of him, very professional of him (but) I didnt agree with his decision, Eade said.I spoke to him about that but there is no sense being angry about it - it is just the way footy is.We are going to see more of it in this day and age of footy.Eade was adamant the Gold Coast would recover from OMearas departure.Adelaide lost Dangerfield and were a good chance to be top four this year - teams move on, Eade said.Leigh Matthews, one of the greatest players of all time, left Hawthorn and next year we won a premiership (in 1986).Every club is greater than the individual - teams move on and they survive.Eade said the Suns were still trying to find the best deal with the Hawks for OMeara.We will wait for Hawthorn to come back to us, Eade said.But having said that we would want to be reasonably compensated.If we can come out in front in the deal then thats fine, you move on.Nothing has eventuated at this stage. It is still a bit of shadow boxing.Fellow Suns midfielder Dion Prestia has requested a trade to Richmond.The Gold Coast have the means to fill spots left by OMeara and Prestia in this years draft, in which they have plenty of picks including five of the top 25.Cheap Custom Tigers Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.

After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday.LOS ANGELES -- The bye week always seems to come at the right time for Southern California wide receiver Deontay Burnett.Burnett parlayed extra reps in practice as a freshman into strong performances when the Trojans were beset by injuries last season. Now Burnett gets extra time to prepare after starting slot receiver Steven Mitchell tore his ACL in the win at Arizona last Saturday.Burnett and Mitchell had been sharing that role, producing nearly identical totals in receptions, yards receiving and touchdowns. The sophomore has been especially effective during USCs current three-game winning streak, making 13 receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown.Were very fortunate since Deontay has played so well all the way back since the Notre Dame game last year, the way he has progressed, coach Clay Helton said. He is playing great football right now and will be pushed up in that starting role.Working with Sam Darnold last year allowed Burnett to develop a rapport that has carried over after the redshirt freshman was promoted to starting quarterback last month. Burnett set career highs in receptions and yards receiving against Arizona State and caught an 11-yard touchdown pass against the Wildcats after Darnold broke the pocket to buy more time.That kind of awareness and a massive catch-radius are among Burnetts best attributes, first noticed by offensive coordinator Tee Martin when he was recruiting star cornerback Adoree Jackson. Martin saw Burnett go toe-to-toe with Jackson in practice. What followed was even more impressive.After practice they would do all this flipping, backflips, catching the ball with one hand, who could throw the ball the farthest, Martin said. It was all this freaky stuff that all of them would do after practice. And Adoree, you know the stuff he can do, and Deontay wwas like right there.dddddddddddd I was like, `Who is this kid? It got my attention and I started recruiting him from that point on.But USC didnt have a spot for Burnett in its 2015 recruiting class, its first coming off scholarship reductions handed down by the NCAA in the Reggie Bush case. Burnett committed to Washington State before USC gave him a chance to join the program as a blueshirt, an un-recruited player who can receive a scholarship after arriving on campus.We were out of scholarships and Coach (Steve) Sarkisian asked me if there was any guy I needed or wanted and Deontay was the first name, Martin said. We were just lucky that he bought in to wanting to come to USC any way he could.Once I got this offer, this scholarship, I told myself I was coming here because this has always been my dream school, Burnett said. The best come to USC.Burnett impressed during a bye week last October, leading to extensive playing time against Notre Dame and California. Burnett had 82 yards receiving against the Golden Bears, the same team he will face in his first start on Oct. 27.It was exciting getting to show the coaches why I came to USC and beginning to put together film so they could see I could play and hopefully make plays on Saturdays, Burnett said.Burnett wants to refine his consistency during this bye week, but anyone walking past Loker Stadium in the next few days might get a glimpse of the athletic feats that initially caught Martins attention. Burnett plans to challenge Jackson to a catch contest this week, though his motivations go beyond one-upmanship.I always tell myself if you practice the hardest catches that they come easy in a game, Burnett said.
