David Montgomery went from the No. 1 back in Detroit to playing second fiddle to Jahmyr Gibbs over the last three seasons, but the Texans still think Montgomery is capable of being the lead back in an offensive attack. The Texans traded for Montgomery early in the offseason in an attempt to bolster a rushing […]

Jacksonville was not a popular pick to contend for a playoff spot in 2025, head coach Liam Coen‘s first year at the helm. Vegas set the Jaguars’ preseason over/under win total at 7.5, but the club smashed expectations during a 13-4 campaign. The offensive-minded Coen was the runner-up to the Patriots’ Mike Vrabel in Coach […]

The Broncos’ playoff overtime win against the Bills could have gone very differently, if a play Broncos coach Sean Payton called had actually been run. Payton said after the game that he called a fake punt on fourth-and-11 in overtime, only to have the players change it at the line of scrimmage and run a […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is continuing his standoff with the team. The former Arizona State wideout is still on the 49ers’ “left squad list,” meaning the team can essentially stash him without penalty or paying him. He would have to apply for reinstatement to collect his salary and force the team’s hand to […]

Lionel Messi is scoring at will in the 2026 World Cup. FIFA will be scoring at will in advance of the 2030 World Cup.

In recent weeks, Brandon Aiyuk‘s social media posts have made for regular talking points regarding his future. The disgruntled 49ers wideout took to Instagram once again on Tuesday. Today marks the one-year anniversary of San Francisco voiding Aiyuk’s guarantees. It was not learned until much later that the team did so, and Aiyuk’s latest post states […]

Lionel Messi and Argentina advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 3-2 comeback win over Egypt on Tuesday. It was a thrilling victory for Argentina, as the team overcame a late 2-0 deficit to ultimately move on in extra time. Fans and athletes praised Messi and Argentina for the accomplishment […]

Just a couple of years ago, the Minnesota Vikings found plenty of success with Sam Darnold at the helm. Somewhat surprisingly, the former No. 3 pick helped them win 14 games, and while he fell flat in the biggest game of the season, that was enough to get him a contract with the Seattle Seahawks. […]

Derek Stingley became the first cornerback in Texans history to earn first-team All-Pro in 2024. He repeated that honor after an outstanding 2025 season. “I know a lot of people haven’t done it,” Stingley said last month, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC. “So, it’s cool to be one of those people.” Stingley, 25, has come […]

The Buccaneers are not close to an extension agreement with Vita Vea. The same is also true of Tampa Bay’s other, more noteworthy, summer contract priority. The 2026 offseason has long been understood to be the time for Baker Mayfield to negotiate a new deal. Tampa Bay’s three-year starting quarterback has one season remaining on his deal, and a […]

The Lightning only have so much cap space, and somehow, the front office tends to make great decisions that keeps them in playoff contention year after year. When Darren Raddysh signed with the Leafs at a very hefty price, you understood why the Lightning couldn’t swing it, but you wondered how they’d replace the role […]

Once Cleveland Browns players end their summer breaks and report for training camp, the competition for the team’s starting quarterback job between veteran Deshaun Watson and second-year pro Shedeur Sanders will likely become one of the top summer storylines in the NFL. In a recent video shared on his YouTube page, Sanders made it clear that he wants to […]

Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is battling with Deshaun Watson to be the Week One starter, but he says he plans to win a lot more than a training camp competition in his career. Sanders said on his YouTube channel that his goal is to be among the greatest quarterbacks in football. “I’m not content just […]

Monday afternoon marked the deadline for teams to file a waiver claim for Terrion Arnold. To little surprise, the former Lions cornerback is instead heading to free agency. Arnold went unclaimed, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo notes. As a result, he is now free to sign with interested teams. Arnold’s market remains uncertain due to the felony charges […]

Even though it was tied, 1-1, after Malik Tillman scored another goal on a free kick just outside the penalty area, it never felt close. Belgium beat the U.S. in the Round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup on Monday night, 4-1, ending the dream of winning the tournament on American soil. The excitement […]

Boy, these wide receiver contracts are sure getting expensive.  Earlier this offseason, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba became the highest-paid player at his position when he signed a four-year, $168.6M extension. Of course, he’s deserving of that after winning the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year and helping the Seahawks win their second Super Bowl.  […]

A hearing on whether free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold will be required to wear an ankle monitor while on home confinement pending trial of eight felony charges had been scheduled for Monday. Via Kara Berg of the Detroit News, it has been postponed until Friday, July 10. Prosecutors have asked the presiding judge to revisit his […]

The Chiefs have largely avoided making big-money commitments to cornerbacks, even in the case of homegrown players. That trend continued in the spring, with Trent McDuffie being traded away and Jaylen Watson departing in free agency. Cornerback remains a question mark for Kansas City entering training camp. As ESPN’s Nate Taylor writes, padded practices beginning later this month […]

Yes, the Commander-in-Chief got directly involved in the effort to overturn the suspension of U.S. striker Flo Balogun. On Monday, President Trump admitted that he contacted FIFA in an effort to get Balogun back on the pitch for tonight’s Round of 16 game against Belgium. Obviously, it’s not known what was said. What, if any, […]

Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II endured the worst statistical season of his career while with the New York Giants before the Giants sent him to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft this past spring.  For a piece published on Monday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared what fellow Bengals defensive tackle BJ Hill recently had […]

NFL coaches and executives voted on the top 10 running backs entering the 2026 season, and some interesting names were left off the list. In the latest poll conducted by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the running backs listed in the “Honorable Mention” section included Josh Jacobs of the Green Bay Packers, Kyren Williams of the Los […]

The idea of an extension for Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been in the air for over a year now. The team’s leading receiver for each of the past three seasons changed his representation in May last year, and both sides have expressed interest in continuing to work together. When it comes to how […]

The United States got a belated 250th birthday gift from FIFA. And it’s way better than some phony-baloney peace prize. According to The Athletic, FIFA has rescinded the one-game suspension that attached to the red card U.S. striker Folarin Balogun received on Wednesday night in a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. He’s now available for […]
