A few days ago, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Rhys Hoskins to a two-year, $34 million contract, with an option for a third year and an opt-out after the first.

The general consensus in the league was that the…

The Lions have struggled on defense at times throughout the regular season, and Campbell believes they must be at their best if they are to reach the Super Bowl. Lions Worried…

The Chicago Bears once again have cap room and draft money, and NFL executives predict they will make significant moves with both. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler recently polled many front office personnel across the league, asking topics ranging from the landing sites of several big-name quarterbacks to projections about the teams’ immediate prospects. The most specific question for the Bears concerned former Washington Commanders defensive end and current San Francisco 49ers pass rusher Chase Young.
