Browns RB Quinshon Judkins arrested on battery/domestic violence charge
The charge is described as "touch or strike/battery/domestic violence," per the arrest record, with no bond amount set for the 21-year-old Judkins, who was in jail as of Saturday night and waiting for his initial court appearance Sunday morning.
The Browns are "aware and gathering more details," according to a team spokesperson.
Cleveland selected Judkins in the second round (36th overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is the only player in the Browns' seven-man draft class who has not signed his rookie contract.
Judkins had 194 carries for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two TDs in 16 games last season as Ohio State won the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 34-23 in the title game as Judkins rushed 11 times for 100 yards and two TDs and caught a 6-yard TD pass.
In three seasons at Ole Miss (2022-23) and Ohio State, Judkins totaled 739 carries for 3,785 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and 45 TDs, and had 59 receptions for 442 yards and five scores.
The Browns, who also drafted running back Dylan Sampson in the fourth round out of Tennessee, are looking to replace RB Nick Chubb, who signed with the Houston Texans. Other backs on the roster include veterans Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr., as well as rookie Ahmani Marshall.
Cleveland's rookies report to training camp on Friday.

Chargers rookie WR Tre Harris holding out from training camp
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the deadline for Chargers rookies to report to training camp was today, and Harris was not present. The second-round selection from Ole Miss is one of 30 second-round picks who remain unsigned due to disputes over guaranteed money in their contracts.
Houston Texans receiver Jayden Higgins signed a fully guaranteed contract in May, the first second-rounder to ever receive a fully guaranteed deal. The Cleveland Browns followed suit by signing linebacker Carson Schwesinger to a fully guaranteed contract.
The pair of contracts seemingly set a precedent that teams and players aren't agreeing upon. Harris becomes the first second-round rookie to officially hold out.
The 55th overall pick, Harris posted 60 receptions for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns in his fifth-year season at Ole Miss. He played his first three years at Louisiana Tech.

Cardinals LT Luis Sharpe, 3-time Pro Bowler, dies at 65
Sharpe played all 13 of his NFL seasons with the franchise in St. Louis (1982-87) and Arizona (1988-94).
Sharpe's wife, Tameka Williams-Sharpe, shared the news of his passing Saturday on social media.
"With deep sorrow and abiding love, I share that my beloved husband, Luis Sharpe, has passed away," she wrote, per the Arizona Republic. "His strength, love, and faith were a light to all who knew him. I am grateful for every moment we shared and for the many prayers and kindnesses extended to our family.
"Though my heart is heavy, I trust that Luis is now resting in God's eternal peace. Please continue to keep our family lifted in prayer."
Born in Havana, Cuba, Sharpe grew up in Detroit and became a first-round draft pick (16th overall) in 1982 out of UCLA.
He started all 189 of his regular-season games with the Cardinals and made the Pro Bowl in 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Ndamukong Suh announces retirement from NFL
Crediting his father as "my idol, my coach, and my anchor," the defensive lineman relayed what he said was the final piece of advice from his dad.
"It's time to let football go," he recalled his father saying. "You've done everything you set out to do. Now it's time for the next chapter."
"That conversation stayed with me," Suh posted in his statement on social media. "So today, one year later, I'm honoring that wish.
"I'm officially retiring from the NFL."
Suh, 38, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Lions. He spent five seasons in Detroit (2010-14), then played for the Miami Dolphins (2015-17), Los Angeles Rams (2018), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-21) and Philadelphia Eagles (2022).
He has been out of football the past two seasons. He won the Super Bowl with the 2020 Buccaneers.
Suh made his presence known as a rookie, posting a career high of 10 sacks and being named an All-Pro and AP Rookie of the Year. It was the first of his three All-Pro honors, and he also was named to the Hall of Fame All-2010s team.
He made 600 career tackles and 71.5 sacks, adding one interception, five forced fumbles and nine fumble recoveries -- three returned for a touchdown. He appeared in 199 games, starting all but the eight he played with the Eagles in his final season.
"I left it all on the field, and now I'm stepping away with peace and gratitude," he said.
"Because I've been preparing for this moment for years. Football was my passion, but it was never my endgame."
He now hosts the "No Free Lunch" podcast, in which he strives to share what he's learned about "navigating life and money," he said.

Reports: Bears extend GM Ryan Poles through 2029
His existing five-year deal would have expired in 2027. Poles was 36 years old in 2022 when he replaced Ryan Pace in the Windy City.
Poles' extension now aligns with new head coach Ben Johnson, who signed a five-year agreement when hired in January.
"There's a rhythm to all the madness behind what we do and how we do it," Johnson said in April. "And Ryan really is all the brains behind that. He set it all up and you can tell that this group, this organization has been together for a number of years now because it's been running so smoothly. He's consistent every single day when he comes in. I think that sometimes is under looked at times, particularly in this profession. Consistency is a huge deal and he's just done a great job every single day laying out a plan, executing a plan and just getting to know him more."
Now 39, Poles has experienced an eventful three years in charge. The Bears had the No. 1 draft picks in both 2023 and 2024. In 2023, he dealt the top selection to Carolina for wide receiver D.J. Moore and four draft picks, which turned into the No. 1 selection in 2024. Poles used that pick in to bring in quarterback Caleb Williams, who became the team's starter in his first season.
The general manager fired head coach Matt Eberflus with five games left in the 2024 season after questionable game management in the Bears' Thanksgiving Day loss to Detroit. It was the first time in the history of the franchise that the Bears parted ways with a head coach mid-season.
In Poles' tenure, the Bears are 15-36. They have not earned a spot in the league playoffs since 2020 and have not won a playoff game since 2011.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes against 18-game regular season
While commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL owners have discussed expanding the regular season to 18 games, the issue requires collective bargaining with players. Count Mahomes as a "no" if and when the time comes for players to weigh in on an official measure to again expand the regular season.
"I always say the more games, it's a little bit more taxing on the guys that play the game," Mahomes said Friday in an interview with CNBC.
Mahomes said the framework of potential proposals subtracting one or more weeks of preseason games and shortening player workout dates in the offseason might not be enough to sway his opinion. The league played a 16-game schedule when Mahomes was drafted and moved to 17 games in 2021. Goodell remarked at the NFL owners meetings that there is a logical next step to 18 games.
"I think that you'd have to find a way to have more bye weeks, more time spread out. I mean, you've seen the amount of injuries that have kind of piled up there at the end of seasons and you want to have the best players playing in the biggest games," Mahomes said. "So, if there were a way to get to 18 games, I'm not a big fan of it. But if there were a way, I think you got to add some bye weeks in there to give more time for guys' bodies."
NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell said negotiations toward an 18-game schedule are not happening anytime soon.
Howell said in February that "no one wants" an 18th game.
The incentive for players would likely be sharing revenue in some form with the NFL media rights and broadcast agreements up for renegotiation before 2029 if the league opts out of its existing CBS-Paramount deal.
Goodell said this week at the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho that the NFL wasn't likely to end its partnership with CBS and Paramount.
"We have a two-year period to make that decision. I don't see that happening, but we have that option," Goodell said.

Chargers RB Najee Harris (eye) hurt in fireworks incident
Harris was one of multiple hurt people in the East Bay town of Antioch, Calif., when the fireworks mishap occurred around 12:18 a.m. on July 5, according to Antioch police.
Hendrickson released a statement Thursday after online rumors began making their way into the mainstream media.
"Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees," Hendrickson said. "Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."
Police said one person was in critical condition and four others were transported to hospitals in the illegal use of fireworks incident.
Those transported apparently doesn't include Harris, a former star at Antioch High. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Harris initially went to a hospital in Concord about 15 minutes to the west before later going to Stanford hospital about an hour to the south.
The Antioch Police addressed the incident in a statement on the afternoon of July 5.
"On July 5, at approximately 12:18 a.m., the Antioch Police Department dispatch center received multiple calls reporting an explosion on the 2200 block of Spanos Street," the statement began. "When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered the aftermath of an explosion caused by fireworks.
"... Several victims had already left the scene before the first responders' arrival and were treated at local hospitals. Antioch PD is working to find and speak with all individuals involved regarding this incident. This is an unfortunate accident, and our thoughts are with the family and all those affected during this difficult time."
This past Fourth of July marked the 10-year anniversary of then New York Giants star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul losing 2 1/2 fingers on his right hand. He returned to the field with a heavily taped hand during the 2015 season but the incident overshadowed his on-field exploits.
Harris, 27, signed a one-year deal, $5.25 million deal with the Chargers in the offseason that could be worth up to an additional $4 million if he meets all incentives for rushing yardage. Harris and first-round draft pick Omarion Hampton (North Carolina) are expected to be the team's main ball carriers.
Harris topped 1,000 rushing yards in all four of his seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has 4,312 yards and 28 rushing touchdowns in 68 NFL games (all starts). The Steelers selected him 24th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, and Harris made the Pro Bowl and the NFL All-Rookie team that season. He became a free agent after the 2024 season.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson gets probation in DUI case
Robinson, 30, was a member of the Rams when he was arrested last November. Officers said they observed him driving at more than 100 mph on a Los Angeles freeway.
In Tuesday's court appearance in L.A., Robinson was ordered to pay a $390 fine and complete a three-month alcohol education program.
"Mr. Robinson has taken this process extremely seriously by already completing most of the terms of his probation. We expect that his probation will terminate early at the 18-month mark after which his case will be expunged," Robinson's attorney, Jacqueline Sparagna, told TMZ Sports.
Robinson signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal with the 49ers in March.
He caught 31 passes for 505 yards and seven touchdowns and started all 17 games in 2024, his second season with the Rams and ninth in the NFL.
Robinson has 250 catches for 3,013 yards and 27 TDs in 147 career games (68 starts) with the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21), Baltimore Ravens (2022) and Rams. He won a Super Bowl LIV ring with the Chiefs.

Vikings, Chiefs owners donating to Texas flood recovery efforts
As of 7 p.m. ET, state officials confirmed at least 120 people have died from the floods in central Texas, including 96 confirmed fatalities (60 adults and 36 children) in Kerr County. Five campers and one counselor were still missing from Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River.
A wall of water swept over the area after heavy rainfall forced the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in less than an hour early Friday morning.
The Vikings and the Wilf family committed $500,000 in support of relief and recovery efforts.
"We are deeply saddened by the continued devastation and loss of life in the Texas Hill Country and can't imagine the pain so many are experiencing," Vikings owners Mark, Zygi and Leonard Wilf said in a statement Wednesday. "We are praying for peace for the families who have lost a loved one and strength for those who continue to risk their lives leading the rescue and recovery effort."
Major League Soccer's Texas-based clubs -- Austin FC, FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo FC -- have joined the league in committing $500,000 toward disaster-relief efforts.
Clark Hunt, who owns FC Dallas as well as the NFL's Chiefs, lost a 9-year-old cousin in the floods.
"Our family is devastated by the tragedy in Central Texas," Hunt said in a statement. "Our hearts go out to those grieving -- in particular, to the parents who lost children, those who lost family members, and the far-too-many who have lost friends, neighbors, and loved ones.
"This has shaken our community to its core. Today, along with our MLS partners, my brother, (Dan), and I are humbled to support those directly assisting the victims of this unimaginable tragedy. In the wake of such sadness, we are awed by the hearts of our fellow Texans, and we are grateful for the true community leaders -- in boats, helicopters or trucks filled with food -- who are showing up for their neighbors in need."
One of the campers at Camp Mystic who died was Janie Hunt, the grand-granddaughter of the late William Herbert Hunt -- brother of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt.
"The FC Dallas family is heartbroken over the disaster in Central Texas," Dan Hunt said. "We are grieving alongside the families and communities who are living through the unimaginable right now."
Camp Mystic, in the community of Hunt in Kerr County, is a Christian girls camp that opened in 1926.
In recent days, the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and the NFL committed $500,000 apiece while Major League Baseball's Houston Astros and Texas Rangers each pledged $1 million.
The Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, the NBA and the NBA Basketball Players Association announced more than $2 million in donations to support immediate and long-term relief.

Giants' ownership stake too rich for Eli Manning
The current owners, the Mara and Tisch families, hired a banker in February to reportedly explore finding two or three wealthy individuals or families, as opposed to private equity, to buy a non-controlling stake in the team.
Manning's name had been bandied about with the likes of his former teammate and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, who reportedly teamed up with billionaire Marc Lasry to explore purchasing a piece of the up to 10 percent of the Giants that is up for sale.
"Basically, it's too expensive for me," Manning told CNBC Sport. "These numbers are getting very big. ... A 1 percent stake of something valued at $10 billion - you know, it turns into a very big number."
The Giants' most recent valuations include a $7.3 billion price tag from Forbes and a $7.85 billion estimate from CNBC.
"I love the Giants, and I think it is deserving of that valuation," Manning continued. "There will be people that want to go for it, and I was kind of along for the ride."
Manning had reportedly discussed joining the Strahan-Lasry group but in May cited conflicts with his other business holdings, something he reiterated Wednesday, per CNBC Sport.
"It really was a matter of some complications with the fact that I'm doing broadcasting; I wouldn't be able to talk to the players. I coached in the Pro Bowl. I do a high school football camp where college guys come," Manning said. "There was going to be a lot of conflicts, and it was going to affect my day job, so I kind of had to pull out of the Giants deal."
The No. 1 overall pick in 2004, Manning played 16 seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants. He played 236 regular-season games (234 starts) with the Giants, who acquired the Ole Miss product in a draft-day trade with the the Chargers for No. 4 pick Philip Rivers, and threw for 57,023 yards and 366 touchdowns.
He was passed over in Pro Football Hall of Fame voting in his first time on the ballot.
"But still, obviously I'm here and have access and still very involved in the Giants organization," Manning said.
Manning is a minority owner of Gotham FC of the NWSL.

Commanders' throwback uniforms evoke 'Super Bowl Era'
The Commanders, who formally changed the team name and logo in 2022 and plan to stick with it, reintroduced the uniform concept used from 1981-92 as an alternate option starting this season.
They will debut the vintage look on Nov. 2 against the visiting Seattle Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football." They will wear it again for a Nov. 30 primetime date with the visiting Denver Broncos and at home on Christmas Day vs. the rival Dallas Cowboys.
"We are excited to celebrate Washington's incredible history with these iconic, Super Bowl Era uniforms this season," team president Mark Clouse said in a statement. "Ever since Josh Harris and our ownership group acquired the team back in 2023, they've placed great value in finding ways to connect the past and present and honor those that made the burgundy and gold what it is today.
"These uniforms recognize the most successful era of our franchise -- one that reflects a culture of excellence and encompasses many historical moments and special memories amongst our fanbase. Our coaches, players and the entire organization could not be more excited to celebrate our team's legacy while creating new memories in these uniforms this season."
Washington wore the uniforms during its three Super Bowl victories and Harris, who grew up rooting for the team, said restoring as much of the tradition as possible without returning to the old Native American nickname and logo was part of the marketing plan.
Harris repeated that the franchise is not considering reverting to the former team name despite recent suggestions from President Donald Trump that he wouldn't have changed the name.
An image featuring NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels, tight end Zach Ertz and safety Jeremy Reaves in the new kits was released by the team on Wednesday. The burgundy pants and helmet with three stripes and white jersey tops are most familiar to fans of the bygone era, with a "W" on the helmet above each ear hole where the old logo once was.

Report: Bucs LT Tristan Wirfs (knee) to miss start of season
Wirfs, 26, had arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday on the right knee he injured last season, per multiple reports.
Wirfs will have to miss at least four games if he begins the campaign on the physically unable to perform list.
A four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro, Wirfs started 16 games in 2024 and has started all 79 of his games since Tampa Bay drafted him 13th overall in 2020.
Wirfs signed a five-year, $140.6 million extension last August. He carries a $11.5 million cap hit in 2025, a figure that jumps to $36.3 million in 2026.

Former NFL exec Tim Rooney, nephew of Steelers founder, dies at 84
A former coach at Villanova, Tim Rooney joined the Steelers as a scout in 1972 before becoming their director of pro scouting. As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he was credited with drafting Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert after escorting then-coach Chuck Noll to watch Lambert at Kent State.
After leaving the Steelers in 1979 to join the Detroit Lions, Rooney was hired by the New York Giants as director of pro personnel in 1985. He remained in that role until 1999 and later returned in a part-time position.
All told, Rooney was part of six Super Bowl-winning teams.
"He was a great guy," Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells told the Post-Gazette. "When you're a head coach, you need someone to tell you the truth. Tim was our pro personnel guy, and that was his job.
"We had daily interaction every day talking about the roster. We had a lot of talks and became close. That enhanced our relationship. He understood me, and I understood him."

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott 'full go' for training camp
Prescott, 31, did not play in the final nine games last season and has yet to be given the green light from the Cowboys' medical staff, he said. Dallas was 3-5 at the time of his injury and finished the 2024 season 7-10.
"I'm healthy as I'll be," Prescott told reporters at his youth camp in Southlake, Texas, on Tuesday. "I'll be full go for camp. I'm healthy. Yeah, I think soon here I'll probably get the official sign off from doc, but I'm healthy."
Dallas reports to training camp in Oxnard, Calif., on July 20, where the Cowboys begin to assimilate to new head coach Brian Schottenheimer's system and the fresh faces acquired to fill in around Prescott.
The Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers, drafted running back Jaydon Blue, signed veteran running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders and shuffled the offensive line.
Perennial Pro Bowl guard Zack Martin retired and the Cowboys invested their first-round pick in Alabama right guard Tyler Booker. There's pressure on the shoulders of left tackle Tyler Guyton, a first-round pick in 2024, to help prevent Prescott from missing time with injury for the third time in six seasons.
After the quarterback pulled his new skill-position cast together in Georgia he said he's "excited as hell" to be the one tasked with keeping all of them happily involved.
"We've just got to continue to grow that and continue to make sure that that's trending the right way," he said.

Civil rights advocate, Cowboys TE Pettis Norman dies at 86
Norman played for the Dallas Cowboys (1962-70) and San Diego Chargers (1971-73). He was a member of the first Cowboys' team to play in the Super Bowl -- Super Bowl V in 1971, a 16-13 loss to the Baltimore Colts.
Norman caught 124 passes with the Cowboys, including 14 touchdowns, and averaged 13.5 yards per reception. Only three tight ends in team history have averaged more than 13.0 yards per catch with at least 100 career receptions.
During his first seven seasons in the NFL, he served in the Texas Army National Guard. And he was at the forefront of civil rights issues in the 1960s, both in the locker room and in the greater Dallas area.
"We mourn the passing of former tight end and civil rights advocate Pettis Norman," the Cowboys said Monday. "Known for his selfless leadership, commitment to community, and dedication to creating equal opportunity, we were incredibly proud and grateful to share his remarkable story recently."
Part of the story the Cowboys shared was Norman's effort in helping to break down racial barriers on the team. He was one of the players who went to head coach Tom Landry to convince him to stop assigning hotel rooms for road games by race, the team said.
"I tried to do whatever I could do (to) help change the kinds of things that society had operated under for such a long time," Norman said, per the team website.
Norman later became the first Black official at a bank in Dallas. In 1993, he also founded the Dallas Together Forum with an aim of increasing minority hiring and boosting contracts awarded to companies owned by women and minorities.
Norman played in 162 games (122 starts) between the two franchises, making 183 receptions for 2,492 yards with 15 TDs.

Post-burglary, Bengals QB called audible on Batmobile buy
The Cincinnati star revealed his level of concern and the lingering emotional toll of the break-in on the latest season of "Quarterback," a documentary streaming on Netflix.
The home Burrow purchased for $7.5 million in 2023 is still listed in his name, but he discussed the reality of having his address made public during an investigation into the episode. The break-in took place one week after Burrow disclosed he was purchasing the Batmobile on a Monday night while the Bengals were visiting the Dallas Cowboys.
"We'll see if I end up moving or not," Burrow said in a conversation with then-defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in one segment of the show. "Now the whole world knows where I live now. But that hasn't been very fun to deal with."
A security guard and a woman later revealed to be social media influencer Olivia Ponton were present at the time of the Monday night 911 call to police, who were first alerted by the woman's mother of the apparent crisis. The 22-year-old in the home told police she was an employee of Burrow's and was able to share information about missing items.
A grand jury indicted multiple alleged perpetrators connected to what investigators said was a large criminal network targeting professional athletes.
Burrow told "Hard Knocks" and "Quarterback" producers that he canceled the purchase of the showy Batmobile.
"I just get very uncomfortable. My life is very public," he said. "That comes with the job, but there's certain parts of your life that are yours. Your house is one of those."

Dirty birds? Kirk Cousins 'misled' by Falcons drafting QB in 2024
Weeks later, Cousins felt entirely different about the situation when the Falcons shocked the NFL -- Cousins included -- and used the No. 8 overall pick to select Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Most pundits projected Penix would be selected in the late first round or early second with an average of 25th to 35th overall.
Cousins said on the debut of the latest season of "Quarterback" on Netflix that "it certainly would've affected my decision," knowing the Falcons would be drafting a quarterback that high in 2024. Two picks after the Falcons selected Penix, the Minnesota Vikings used one of their two first-round picks to draft J.J. McCarthy.
Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, said he felt "a little bit misled" by the Falcons.
"I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high," Cousins said on the show. "But I've also learned in 12 years in this league that you're not entitled to anything. It's all about being able to earn your spot and prove yourself."
Cousins said he made the "best decision" he could about his own health last season when, after a 6-3 start, he suffered a shoulder injury and attempted to play through the pain. He admitted on the documentary the move was more about preserving his starting job than self-preservation, fearing he would not reclaim the starting role if he tapped out for a week or two to fully heal.
Instead his performance suffered, Atlanta's offense lagged and head coach Raheem Morris ultimately put Cousins on the pine in favor of Penix.
"I remember reading Drew Brees' book back in 2010 when he first wrote it, how he made the point that he tried to never let his backup see the field -- even if it was somebody who was really no threat. He just felt like you should never do that. Doug Flutie taught him that," Cousins said. "So that was something I always was aware of, that in this league, if you give someone else the chance, if you want to get 'Wally Pipped' and there's Lou Gehrig behind you, that can happen at the time."
Cousins, 36, is now banking $27.5 million this season from Atlanta to be Penix's backup. He said he'll be "an adult" but confessed it's painful to go to work as a reserve.
"I feel sorry for myself and it's hard to do, but that's what you got to do," he said.

State of Kansas extends deadline for Chiefs, Royals stadium funding
A committee in the Kansas state legislature extended a deadline Monday for the NFL and Major League Baseball franchises to accept state financing for new stadiums.
The original deadline came and went on June 30, but it was retroactively extended on Monday. Now the Chiefs and Royals have till June 30, 2026, but the committee is pressing for a decision from the teams by New Year's Eve.
The Chiefs and Royals have long made their homes at Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium, respectively, in the same complex in Kansas City, Mo. They are among the oldest venues in their leagues and their leases with Jackson County are up in January 2031.
In June, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed off on legislation that would authorize bonds to pay for up to 50 percent of the cost for the Chiefs and Royals to build or renovate a stadium.
Not to be outdone, Kansas has had an offer on the table of using bonds to cover 70 percent of the cost of a new stadium if either of the teams chooses to relocate.
"Together, we have the opportunity to bring the National Football League to Kansas, anchored by a world-class domed stadium, new team headquarters, a state-of-the-art practice facility, and a vibrant mixed-use and entertainment district," Chiefs president Mark Donovan wrote to Kansas Senate president Ty Masterson when requesting a deadline extension.
The Chiefs previously unveiled renderings for a proposed multimillion-dollar renovation of Arrowhead Stadium. The Royals have said they want to move from Kauffman Stadium, preferably to a new ballpark downtown.
In April 2024, voters in Jackson County rejected a sales tax measure that would have helped pay for Arrowhead renovations and a stadium for the Royals.

Report: ESPN signing NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky to long-term extension
Per the report, the former NFL quarterback will remain as a game analyst for the second-string team on "Monday Night Football" with Chris Fowler, Louis Riddick and Laura Rutledge. Orlovsky, 41, will also continue to appear on "NFL Live," "SportsCenter," "Get Up" and "First Take."
Orlovsky's new contract is not final but he is apparently "at the 1-yard line" with the network, per the report.
Before the holiday weekend, the former Detroit Lions QB posted a picture on social media toasting himself and on his Instagram story, he wrote, "Here's to what's next."
He wrote on his X account on Monday: "Gotta keep working. Gotta keep proving yourself. Gotta stay hungry. It's always the journey."
Orlovsky, whose NFL career began in 2005 and lasted until 2017, is a popular figure at ESPN who has apparently shown interest in becoming a coach in the NFL.
"Dan's been talking to some teams and seeing if there's something that interests him and is worthwhile for him," ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter told Pat McAfee in an interview.
In February, Front Office Sports reported that Orlovsky was "exploring his options" regarding potential free agency. Last month, it was reported by The Athletic that Orlovsky would likely return to ESPN.
ESPN declined to comment on Monday's report.

Cowboys All-Pro KR KaVontae Turpin arrested on 2 charges
Turpin, 28, was arrested by the Allen (Texas) Police Department on Saturday, according to online records, and booked into the Collin County Jail.
He posted $1,500 bond and was released from custody on Sunday.
Turpin, who signed a three-year, $18 million extension in March, became the first Cowboy with punt, kickoff and receiving touchdowns in the same season in 2024. He finished with a career-high 31 catches for 420 yards and a pair of scores.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection, he led the NFL return average (33.5 yards) in 2024 and took one back 99 yards for a touchdown against the Washington Commanders.
In three seasons with Dallas, Turpin has played in 50 games (two starts) and compiled 44 receptions for 556 yards and five TDs. He has also rushed for 92 yards on 16 carries.

Cowboys make $500K donation to assist with Texas flooding
The Houston Texans said Saturday they also were donating that same amount.
As of 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, state officials had confirmed at least 59 deaths in Kerr County and acknowledged there were 11 girls missing from Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River.
A wall of water swept over the area after heavy rainfall saw the Guadalupe River rise 26 feet in less than an hour early Friday morning.
"Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation and loss of life caused by the floods in Kerr County and Texas Hill Country, especially for the young girls and their families, as well as all of those lost and their loved ones," the Cowboys said in a statement. "This has been devastating to see and we hold everyone impacted in our thoughts and prayers. Standing side by side with The Salvation Army's critical response, we are also donating $500,000 to provide immediate resources for rescue, relief and long term recovery efforts.
Camp Mystic, in the community of Hunt in Kerr County, is a Christian girls camp that opened in 1926.

Former Steelers WR Chase Claypool plans NFL comeback
Claypool, 26, signed with the Buffalo Bills last offseason but missed the 2024 campaign due to the injury he suffered last August. He was released by the Bills with an injury settlement.
The four-year pro, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2020 draft, wrote on social media on Friday that he is "the strongest and fastest I've ever been" following a full offseason of recovery and rehab.
"I tore a ligament and a tendon in my second toe and have been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year," Claypool posted on Instagram. "I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves.
"I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years."
In four seasons with the Steelers (2020-22), Chicago Bears (2022-23) and Miami Dolphins (2023), Claypool recorded 175 catches for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts).

Houston Texans donate $500K to help flood victims
As of noon ET on Saturday, rescuers were still searching for more than two dozen children from a girls' camp after a devastating flood killed at least 27 people.
A wall of water swept over the area after heavy rainfall saw the Guadalupe River rise 26 feet in less than an hour.
"We are heartbroken by the loss and damage that our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have endured," the McNair family, owners of the Texans, said in a statement posted on X. "We are especially devastated to hear about the children who are still missing and we are praying that they are reunited with their families soon. Our hearts will remain with everyone affected and in addition to our donation, we will continue to support the search, rescue and recovery efforts in the coming weeks."
According to officials in Kerrville, Texas, some 27 people remained missing from a Christian summer camp situated along the Guadalupe River.

Former NFL LB Bryan Braman battling rare cancer
Braman, 38, was a special-teams standout for the Houston Texans (2011-13) and the Philadelphia Eagles (2014-17), highlighted by a Super Bowl LII championship with the Eagles in his final game.
Since being diagnosed in February, Braman has undergone multiple surgeries during his ongoing treatment in Seattle.
"At Stellato Sports, Bryan Braham has always stood for strength, resilience and leadership," agent Sean Stellato told Houston's KPRC 2. "He is a pillar and a staple of the underdog. Now, in the face of cancer, he embodies those qualities more than ever. If there is one person that I know that can beat cancer, it is Bryan Braman, who I have always considered family. He's in the fight of his life. Please support Bryan and keep him in your prayers."
A GoFundMe page set up to help with his medical expenses had raised more than $65,000 as of Saturday morning.
"With the cancer that Bryan has, which is a VERY rare form of cancer, treatment had the highest chance of success as the cells are reprogrammed to fight this cancer that is within Bryan," wrote Braman's friend William Jones, who set up the GoFundMe page. "His cells did re-infuse themselves and did in fact start reproducing within his bone marrow. At first, the mass did start to shrink, but then the cancer started fighting back. At this point, Bryan has had to start having chemo treatments that are designed for the treatment program Bryan is in. Bryan has had to undergo several surgical procedures.
"The main problem has been that Bryan has not been able to recover from the procedures because of his lowered immunity due to all of these treatments. By the time he was able to recover so he could continue with the chemo, the cancer has grown exponentially faster, and is now growing around his vital organs. The doctors are now concerned because of his treatment, his chemo options are very limited. They have tried all of the various treatment options, and unfortunately, none of them are working against this cancer. But Bryan has not given up. He is looking into other trial treatment programs, and is determined to never give up."
A native of Spokane, Wash., Spokane went undrafted out of West Texas A&M in 2011. He finished his career with 56 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries in 97 games.

Steelers sign GM Omar Khan through 2028 season
The team announced the contract on Thursday but did not release any financial details.
Khan was named general manager in 2022 but is in his 25th season with the franchise.
"I believe we are building a championship roster and look forward to the 2025 season and beyond as our goals continue to be to bring another Super Bowl to the City of Pittsburgh and our great fans," Khan said in a team news release.
He has had a busy offseason, adding veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, trading for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith and navigating the draft. The Steelers selected defensive tackle Derrick Harmon of Oregon with their first-round pick.
"Omar and his team have done a great job over the past three years in constructing our roster through the NFL Draft, strategic trades, and free agency," Steelers president Art Rooney II said. "We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field."
The Steelers currently have 12 selections in the seven-round 2026 NFL Draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh.
Prior to being named general manager, Khan was the team's vice president of football and business operations. He replaced former GM Kevin Colbert.
The Steelers are coming off back-to-back 10-7 seasons. They lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs both years.

Bills No. 1 pick Maxwell Hairston named in lawsuit
Hairston, 21, was the Bills' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft in April, taken No. 30 overall.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The unidentified woman also accuses Hairston of intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking a jury trial and compensatory damages.
According to the filing, which was reviewed by USA Today, the woman alleges that Hairston unexpectedly showed up at her dorm room on March 24, 2021. He told her he wanted to "hang out" with her, and the woman said she was tired and didn't want a visitor. She said she was going to bed and walked away from the door.
Per USA Today, the woman claims in the lawsuit that Hairston followed her into her bedroom, then forced himself upon her and sexually assaulted her after she rejected his requests to have sex.
"Our client showed remarkable strength in coming forward, and we are proud to stand with her in pursuit of accountability and justice," said Peter Flowers, one of the women's attorneys, according to the report. "No one -- regardless of their status or athletic success -- is above the law."
Before the draft, the Bills were aware of the allegations made by the woman, who had filed a report with the university.
"He's an impeccable kid. We did a lot of research," general manager Brandon Beane said the day after the draft. "I think all teams were aware of the Title IX thing. That was fully investigated by the school. He even volunteered to do a polygraph and had notes. It was one of those where there was zero information saying that this actually happened, to what the accusation was.
"You can't just take someone's account and think that's the truth. But yes, we fully investigated that. If there was anything to that, he wouldn't have been invited to the combine. ... Every person you talk to at Kentucky, teammates, staff there, plus what we've done, I would say this is a heck of a young man, every person you ask. That's unfortunate when things like that are attached to someone's name; in this case, it doesn't seem to be anything there."

Report: NFLPA won't discuss 18-game season until 'at least early 2026'
According to a Washington Post report Tuesday, the NFLPA is not expected to formally negotiate with the NFL and team owners on a potential 18-game schedule and other issues regarding the labor agreement until "at least early next year."
Per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the "reason for the delay isn't clear."
Goodell and the team owners have been pushing for the expanded schedule to improve the league's position from a media rights perspective, particularly in preparation for a new media package being on the line. Goodell has also made it known the league would like to expand the number of international games to at least 16.
From an NFLPA perspective, the added game and additional travel bring obvious player safety concerns up for discussion.
Still, it's believed the expanded schedule is an inevitability. It's just a matter of when the NFLPA will be willing to discuss and negotiate. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expires after the 2030 season.

Jimmy Haslam, Browns celebrate $600M stadium funding in state budget
The state unveiled plans to use a trove of unclaimed funds that stem from forgotten utility deposits and bank accounts after 10 years to help offset the cost to the Haslam Sports Group, owner of the Browns. Owner and CEO Jimmy Haslam previously requested taxpayer support and state funds to help construct a $2.4 billion domed stadium 15 miles south of Cleveland in the suburb of Brook Park.
A lease at the existing Huntington Bank Field expires at the end of the 2028 season. A renovation of that structure was projected to cost more than $450 million, according to the team's ownership group.
Haslam said in an open letter to Browns fans on Tuesday that "the new enclosed Huntington Bank Field will be ... a first-of-its-kind" facility in the NFL.
"Our fans deserve a world-class facility, and we are committed to building a state-of-the-art enclosed stadium that resonates with Cleveland, highlighting our loyal and passionate fans and the Dawg Pound, while also incorporating innovation, bold design, and an immersive experience," the letter read.
"The new enclosed Huntington Bank Field will be completely fan-centric, a first-of-its-kind design in the NFL, and a dynamic venue that draws visitors from across Ohio and beyond, for concerts and significant sporting events throughout the year. This premiere facility will anchor a major lifestyle and entertainment development and be a catalyst for one of Northeast Ohio's largest economic development projects ever and something our community will be proud of and can enjoy for years to come. We appreciate the support of State leaders and their belief in this transformative project."
Haslam said the group plans to continue investing in Northeast Ohio and denied tapping into state tax-revenue streams.
"The state's construct is a performance grant towards the stadium that will be paid back with incremental revenue generated by the project above a current state revenue baseline," he said. "There has been no ask by the Haslam Sports Group to pledge existing tax revenue streams that would take away from other pressing community needs to fund this project. This economic development project will not only pay back but also provide all stakeholders an additional return on their investment."

Agents: Dolphins deal with Giants for retired TE Darren Waller
Waller retired prior to the 2024 season, citing a medical scare and a loss of "passion" for football while working on a music career.
At the time of his retirement, Waller was a member of the New York Giants. Per the ESPN report, the Giants have agreed to trade Waller and a conditional 2027 seventh-round draft pick to Miami for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2026.
The agents told ESPN Waller has agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. Because he officially retired, Waller must be reinstated from the reserve/retired list.
Waller turns 33 in September.
The Dolphins subtracted a tight end this week in the deal with the Steelers for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Miami parted with cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith, who set the Dolphins' franchise record for receptions (88) and receiving yards (884) by a tight end last season. He also had eight touchdowns in 17 games (six starts) en route to being selected to the Pro Bowl.
Waller was a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 with the Las Vegas Raiders. He said last year that being a football player opened doors to help address his past struggles with addiction that he might not have had otherwise.
"Eternally grateful for the game of football. I wouldn't be able to have this conversation or to think things through or be self-reflective if it wasn't for an opportunity to save my life and go to rehab, which the NFL offered me," he said. "They also gave me an opportunity to reestablish myself, to come back into the world and do something productive. Provide an example, be a leader, be a difference-maker in my craft but also in my day-to-day wherever I go."
Waller joined the Giants for the 2023 season after two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2015-16) and five with the Raiders (2018-22). In his lone season with New York, Waller played 12 games (11 starts) and made 52 receptions for 552 yards and one touchdown.
Waller's career highs of 107 catches, 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns came in 2020 with the Raiders. In 86 career games (63 starts), Waller has 350 receptions, 4,124 yards and 20 TDs.

Teams reportedly expect Steelers to listen to T.J. Watt offers after Ramsey deal
That's the question multiple teams in the NFL are asking Monday, according to ESPN, after Pittsburgh pulled off a trade for cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Watt, 30, has 108 career sacks as he enters the final year of a four-year, $112 million contract he signed in 2021. That contract averages $28 million per year, far less than the going rate for premium pass rushers.
Division rival Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns reset the market in March with a $123.5 million guarantee on a contract he signed following a trade demand. His annual average salary of $40 million is the highest in the NFL for non-quarterbacks.
When Watt skipped mandatory minicamp this month and voluntary offseason team activities in the spring, he did not indicate whether he wants to hit the top of the market or surpass Garrett's compensation package.
The Steelers are not expected to shop Watt.
But ESPN reported teams are more likely to check in with Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan following the acquisition of Ramsey because the Steelers picked up $19.6 million of his $26.6 million salary for 2025.
Watt is a four-time All-Pro and has spent his eight-year career with the Steelers since entering the NFL as a first-round pick in 2017.
He has six seasons with at least 11.5 sacks -- his total last season -- and has forced 33 fumbles in his career. That's the most in the NFL over the last eight years, eight more than the Los Angeles Chargers' Khalil Mack. Garrett shares third with 20.

Reports: Steelers, Dolphins swap Jalen Ramsey, Minkah Fitzpatrick
Ramsey confirmed the development on X, posting: "Break my own news! #HereWeGo @steelers."
The Steelers also will receive tight end Jonnu Smith, ESPN reported. Pittsburgh is sending All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and an unspecified late-round draft pick to Miami to complete the blockbuster trade, per ESPN.
Ramsey, 30, did not attend Miami's mandatory minicamp earlier this month while the team attempted to secure a trade partner. The Steelers and Los Angeles Rams were considered the most likely destinations.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said prior to the 2025 NFL Draft that Ramsey didn't request a trade, but they came to the joint realization that a potential move made sense following several conversations about his contract.
Ramsey signed a three-year contract extension in September 2024 and started all 17 games for Miami, posting two interceptions, 11 passes defensed and 60 tackles last season.
ESPN reported that the Steelers are giving Ramsey a $1.5 million raise in 2025 as part of the agreement, bumping his compensation to $26.6 million.
Ramsey went to Miami in March 2023 in a trade with the Rams for a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long. Ramsey missed the first seven games that season with a knee injury, but he still made the Pro Bowl for the seventh time.
Ramsey has tallied 24 interceptions, 108 passes defensed and 534 tackles in 135 career games (134 starts) with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2016-19), Rams (2019-22) and Dolphins. The Jaguars drafted him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Ramsey joins a loaded Steelers secondary that includes incumbent starter Joey Porter Jr. and offseason signee Darius Slay Jr.
Fitzpatrick, 28, is a five-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro selection who launched his career in Miami as a first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Fitzpatrick recorded 96 tackles and one interception in 17 starts last season. He has 20 picks, 54 passes defensed and 608 tackles in 106 career games (101 starts) with the Dolphins (2018-19) and Steelers. Miami traded him to Pittsburgh in September 2019.
He signed a four-year, $73.6 million deal with the Steelers in June 2022 and is set to earn $15.5 million in 2025 and $17.6 million in 2026.
Smith, 29, was selected in the third round of the 2017 draft by the Tennessee Titans and spent his first four seasons there, followed by two seasons with the New England Patriots and one each with the Atlanta Falcons and Dolphins.
In 17 games (six starts) last season, he caught 88 passes for 884 yards with eight touchdowns. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl. In 124 career games (84 starts), he has 307 receptions for 3,307 yards and 28 scores.

Report: 49ers CB Deommodore Lenoir arrested in L.A.
Lenoir, 25, was released from jail early Friday morning and is scheduled to appear in court next month, according to multiple reports.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers approached a group that included Lenoir and observed a gun inside a parked vehicle.
When police asked for the keys, another man tossed them to Lenoir. Lenoir then threw the keys to a third man who tried to hide them, according to records and statements obtained by NBC Bay Area.
The 49ers have not released a statement on the matter.
Lenoir signed a five-year, $92 million extension last November with the 49ers, who drafted the Los Angeles native in the fifth round in 2021.
Lenoir has recorded six interceptions, 26 passes defensed and 265 tackles in 62 games (47 starts) through his first four seasons with San Francisco.

Report: No NFL supplemental draft again this year
The last supplemental draft was in 2023, when neither of the two players available was selected.
The most recent supplemental draft pick came in 2019 when the Arizona Cardinals took Washington State safety Jalen Thompson in the fifth round.
Typically scheduled in mid-July, the draft is for players whose eligibility issues kept them out of the regular draft.
A total of 46 players have been selected in supplemental drafts since its inception in 1977, including Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter in 1987.

NFL suspends ex-Ravens K Justin Tucker for 10 games
The NFL said Thursday that Tucker, who was released by the Baltimore Ravens on May 5 amid a sexual misconduct investigation, violated the league's personal conduct policy.
Tucker, 35, may serve his suspension while not under contract with a club and will be eligible for reinstatement Nov. 11. If he signs during the offseason, he will be allowed to attend training camp and participate in preseason games.
Tucker has been accused of engaging in inappropriate behavior with several female massage therapists. Sixteen women have accused him of misconduct at eight high-end spas in the Baltimore area from 2012-16. He has publicly denied the allegations.
Tucker, an undrafted free agent out of Texas in 2012, is the NFL's all-time leader in field-goal accuracy, making 89.1 percent of his kicks.
The seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro first teamer is coming off the worst of his 13 seasons spent in Baltimore. He missed eight of his 30 field-goal attempts as well as two extra points in 2024.
The Ravens have moved on after spending a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft on former Arizona kicker Tyler Loop.

New deal keeps Bengals at Paycor Stadium through 2036
The deal features a $470 million plan to renovate the 25-year-old building and includes 10 additional option years that could extend the agreement to 2046.
"This is a significant day for the Bengals and Hamilton County as we secure the team's future in Cincinnati," said Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn. "We thank the Hamilton County Commissioners for supporting this agreement to ensure Paycor Stadium remains an excellent venue and a focal point for Cincinnati's riverfront. We are proud to call Paycor Stadium our home and to keep our future here in Cincinnati, where it belongs."
Previously known as Paul Brown Stadium, the 66,000-seat facility opened in August 2000 at a cost of $455 million.
The Bengals' original lease was set to expire at the end of June 2026.
Hamilton County will contribute $350 million toward the renovations, with the Bengals putting up $120 million. Both sides said they are working together to seek additional funding from the state. Specific details of the planned improvements were not provided.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles, GM Jason Licht sign extensions
Terms of the contracts were not disclosed, but multiple reports pegged Bowles' deal at a total of four seasons through 2028. He had one year remaining on his original four-year contract entering 2025.
Buccaneers owner and co-chairman Joel Glazer said the leadership team is vital to extending the team's run of success in the NFC South and beyond.
"The continuity and stability they provide will play a large role in our ability to compete for additional championships," Glazer said in a statement.
Bowles was promoted from defensive coordinator when Bruce Arians retired after the 2021 season and has a 27-24 record in Tampa. He previously was head coach of the New York Jets (53-65) and briefly served as interim coach of the Miami Dolphins.
The Bucs enter the season having won three consecutive NFC South division titles.
"I am excited to continue working with Jason for years to come as we build on the success we've enjoyed and keep reaching for even bigger and better goals," Bowles said in a statement. "My family loves Tampa and we're looking forward to delivering more great moments for our fans in the coming seasons."
Licht has been in the GM chair for the Buccaneers for 12 seasons, building a core that supported free agent signing Tom Brady on the way to winning Super Bowl LV. No team has been as committed to drafting, developing and retaining players, but the Bucs have also hit on multiple free agents under Licht. Following Brady, the Buccaneers turned Baker Mayfield from perceived reclamation project to Pro Bowl selection.
"I am also very excited to continue working alongside Todd well into the future as we continue our mission of finding and developing talented players and chasing additional championships for our fans," Licht said.

Jets âRing of Honorâ DE Gerry Philbin dies at 83
The former defensive end was first-team All-Pro in 1968 and '69, and also named to the Pro Bowl those two seasons.
With Philbin hunting quarterbacks and Joe Namath making guarantees, the Jets famously upset the Baltimore Colts for a surprise Super Bowl championship at the conclusion of the 1968 season.
"I really believe he should've been a Hall of Famer," teammate and linebacker Ralph Baker said. "He was just a good guy, a regular guy who worked hard and shared his feelings. When teammates needed to be set straight, Gerry was the guy to do it."
A third-round (19th overall) draft pick out of Buffalo, Philbin termed himself undersized at 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds. Despite his smaller size, over 123 games (112 starts) in New York and Philadelphia, where he played his final year, Philbin record 66 1/2 sacks and seven fumble recoveries.
No. 81 was named to the AFL's all-decade team for the 1960s and later inducted into New York's Ring of Honor.
"I got the most out of how hard I worked, because I was a little disadvantaged with size and overcame it," Philbin told NewYorkJets.com in 2018. "And then just accomplishing most of my goals that I set. I wanted to be an All-Star. I wanted to win the Super Bowl.
"And the personal goals of getting elected to the All-Time AFL Team. And then finally, becoming a Ring of Honor recipient with the Jets. All those things I cherish a lot."

Seahawks bringing back CB Shaquill Griffin
Griffin, a Pro Bowl pick in 2019, is signing a one-year, $3 million contract that can increase in value up to $4 million, per the reports.
The 29-year-old played in all 17 regular-season games last season for the Minnesota Vikings, making three starts and recording 41 tackles with two interceptions and six passes defended.
The Seahawks selected Griffin in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Central Florida.
Griffin has 407 career tackles with 13 tackles for loss, one sack, nine interceptions and one forced fumble in 106 games (82 starts) for the Seahawks (2017-20), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-23), Houston Texans (2023), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Vikings (2024).
He played in 57 games (53 starts) in four seasons with the Seahawks before signing as a free agent with the Jaguars on a three-year, $40 million contract. He played in only 19 games in two seasons with Jacksonville, as a back injury sidelined him for the last 11 games of the 2022 season, and he was released in March 2023.

Morehead State renaming stadium after Phil Simms
The official dedication will take place at the stadium in Morehead, Ky., during homecoming weekend on Oct. 18.
Simms played for the program from 1974-78. The Kentucky native passed for 5,545 yards and 32 touchdowns during his career and was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in 1977.
"Phil Simms has remained loyal to MSU throughout the years," athletic director Kelly Wells said. "He has given MSU his time, talent, and treasure to MSU since his days as a college athlete. He has visited Morehead during the summers to host summer camps for young athletes and encouraged them to consider MSU.
"He has mentored MSU coaches and players throughout the years. Most notable, he has hosted numerous fundraising events and personally contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the football program. This recognition is most deserving and long overdue."
The Giants drafted him with the seventh overall pick in 1979 and he remained with the team through his final NFL season in 1993. The two-time Pro Bowl selection ranks second in franchise history in passing yards (33,462) and touchdown passes (199).
He was named the MVP of New York's 39-20 win against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI, completing 22 of 25 passes for 268 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Simms earned a second ring with the Giants in Super Bowl XXV when his injury replacement, Jeff Hostetler, led the team to a 20-19 win against the Buffalo Bills.
Simms, who turns 70 in November, returned to campus in 2015 to receive his bachelor's degree. The university also presented him with an honorary doctorate.
Following his playing career, Simms spent three decades in the broadcast booth.

Aaron Rodgers on 2025 season: 'Pretty sure this is it'
Earlier this month, the four-time NFL Most Valuable Player signed a one-year contract to quarterback the Steelers in 2025. And he expects this season to be the last of his career, he said Tuesday in his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it," Rodgers told McAfee. "That's why we just did a one-year deal."
His $13.65 million contract with the Steelers includes $10 million in guarantees but also nearly $6 million in incentives that could push the total value to $19.5 million.
Rodgers will be playing in his 21st season with his third team, following the Green Bay Packers (2005-22) and New York Jets (2023-24).
Rodgers, 41, wants to help the Steelers on the field, but he told McAfee he also is committed to helping other quarterbacks on the roster, especially rookie Will Howard. The two started to develop a relationship during minicamp.
"I pulled him aside during one of the days and said, ‘Listen, I want to help you as much as possible. But I'm not going to overstep my bounds. if you want assistance, I'm here, buddy."
Rodgers made it clear he sees potential in Howard, who led Ohio State to the 2024 national championship but fell to Pittsburgh in the sixth round of the draft in April.
"I was impressed by him. I thought he looked really sharp," Rodgers said. "He made a bunch of great throws. I think there's definitely some things I can help him with."
The Jets, choosing a different direction under new head coach Aaron Glenn, released Rodgers in March and signed former Steelers quarterback Justin Fields. The two teams will meet in Week 1 of the regular season -- Sept. 7 in East Rutherford, N.J.
