While the Super Bowl is on everyone’s mind, I must admit that I’ve been wondering about the offseason of an NFL team that has been out of playoff contention for virtually the entire season. The Bears will make the most critical decision of any team in the coming months, as they have the first pick in the 2024 draft after dealing with the Panthers prior to last year’s draft. In a quarterback class that might see a few talents fall off the board in Round 1, Chicago is in position to start the QB carousel. Depending on who you ask,…

Despite losing new newcomer Corey Allan to a season-ending ACL injury and having roster places vacant, the St George Illawarra Dragons have no interest in signing recently terminated winger David Nofoaluma. The 192-game player, who has been with the Tigers since 2013, but has had a difficult last 24 months, was eventually released by mutual consent on Tuesday. While Nofoaluma could have addressed a board meeting on Wednesday evening about two recent breaches, he chose to accept a $300,000 settlement for the remaining two years of his contract. It means the winger is now a free agent late in the…

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos had a message for those fans who believe the franchise requires another major move. During an appearance at the team’s annual fan fest, Anthopoulos was humorously challenged by some fans who suggested he trade for Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease. Anthopoulos found the whole affair humorous, but he was honest with the fans in his reaction. “We’ve already tried. “Expensive,” Anthopoulos replied. That asking price has undoubtedly reduced Cease’s market, despite the fact that the White Sox have reportedly been willing to trade him throughout the summer. A new team was recently linked…

Elijah Moore, a former Ole Miss Rebels wide receiver, is among the most productive pass catchers in school history. And now, he’s on his way to his second NFL home in his short career. According to various sources, Moore has been moved from the New York Jets to the Cleveland Browns. Moore joined the Jets as a second-round pick in 2021. In exchange for Moore, the Jets will receive a second-round pick (No. 42) and return the No. 74 pick in the third round to Cleveland. Moore was limited by an erratic quarterback situation in New York, where he caught…

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed a contract with a 34-year-old former Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher. This pitcher made his MLB debut with the Brewers in 2012, was a regular in their starting rotation from 2013 to 2016, struggled in 2017, and went on to play for the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers from 2018 to 2022. Former Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wily Peralta has signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.   Wily Peralta played for the Washington Nationals in 2023 but did not make it to the major leagues. Things did not go well; he had a…

The Golden State Warriors have discovered a gem in guard Brandin Podziemski, who was recently selected an NBA Rising Star for the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend. With Klay Thompson out, Brandin Podziemski started alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in the Warriors’ crucial victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. He had a strong overall performance, finishing with 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting, five rebounds, and three assists. Podziemski has established himself as a staple in Steve Kerr’s rotation, thanks in large part to his ability to do the “dirty” things, such as hustling for loose balls, chasing…

On January 9, Sportsnet produced a list of 25 trade prospects to keep an eye on before the March 8 trading deadline. Two weeks later, The Athletic published an article on ten players who are losing favor with their present clubs and are on the verge of being traded (from ‘NHL trade candidates beneath the radar: 10 players who are falling out of favor,’ The Athletic, Jan. 23, 2024). Only one player, Philadelphia Flyers center Morgan Frost, appeared on both. At first glance, Frost’s presence on these lists makes perfect sense. The 24-year-old has appeared in just 39 of Philadelphia’s…

Raheem Morris’ staff is nearing completion after the Falcons announced several appointments, including one surprise. Fans were already aware that Jay Rodgers had been named defensive line coach, but the appointment of Steve Scarnecchia as chief of staff and coaching operations is noteworthy. Furthermore, Dwayne Ledford was retained but assigned a new role as run game coordinator. Two more holdovers were revealed: Sarah Hogan, director of coaching operations, and Donavan Ellison, coaching operations assistant. Dave Huxtable’s retention as a senior defensive coach surprised many, as he had been expected to follow Ryan Nielsen to Jacksonville for a similar post. Nielsen…

Tavias Gordon – 2025, RB Ole Miss became the second collegiate team to offer 2025 running back Tavias Gordon, after Georgia Tech.

MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy announced Thursday morning that the Milwaukee Brewers had signed infielder Christian Arroyo. According to FanSided’s Robert Murray, Arroyo is expected to sign a one-year minor league contract.
