Often, a mediocre NFL player will surrender a number to a more established new teammate. When Rams receiver Puka Nacua, one of the best young wideouts in the game, quickly handed No. 17 to newcomer Davante Adams, it seemed strange. Nacua is established. He’s too big to be expected to

Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons will attend the team’s mandatory minicamp next week, but will he be at the start of training camp? Parsons indicated in a social media post Tuesday night that he will join the team in Oxnard, California, in July only if he has signed a contract
