Former Clemson wide receiver Martavis Bryant will look for a new opportunity in professional football.
According to multiple reports, Bryant has been cut by the Cowboys, ending his time in Dallas. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero did note that team’s are interested in Bryant, meaning he has a strong chance of returning to the NFL with another team.
After completing 44 games with the Steelers and Raiders from 2014 to 2018, Bryant, a seasoned veteran, took time away from football for almost five seasons following a suspension. His return to the field came through a tryout with the Cowboys, with the organization liking what they saw from the wide receiver. Bryant recorded 145 catches for 2,183 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns while playing for the Steelers and later the Raiders.

Cincinnati, OH

The Cincinnati Bengals have a few pressing roster concerns heading into 2024.
Wide receiver, though, doesn’t usually come up as a major red flag at this point.
Still, it’s the choice for ESPN’s Aaron Schatz when asked to name the biggest remaining hole for each team:
Wide receiver is only a “hole” for the Bengals because we still don’t know what will happen with franchise-tagged Tee Higgins and his trade request. If Higgins stays in Cincinnati, the Bengals should have a reasonable group to fill out the wide receiver depth chart: third-round pick Jermaine Burton, the always underrated Trenton Irwin (110 and 83...

It doesn’t sound like the Carolina Panthers are locked in at the third-string quarterback spot.
Head coach Dave Canales talked with reporters following his team’s second outing of rookie minicamp on Saturday. With the roster still lacking the extra veteran passer he previously stated his desire for, he was asked if his stance on the QB3 role behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton has changed.
“What we always like to do is to add people—especially guys that have some kind of exposure to our system,” Canales replied. “I’m looking for value for the quarterback room. What do they bring for that room?...

Los Angeles Lakers fans seem split on LeBron James. While plenty of them support or even love him, there are plenty of others who want him to leave as soon as possible for whatever reason.
Yes, there are risks and downsides to having James on one’s team. But there is no way around it: If the Lakers are serious about winning another NBA championship anytime soon, they need to keep him.
He can opt out of his current contract to become a free agent this summer. The general expectation around the league is he will do just that in order to stay...

Clearwater, Florida: Although many people know Kirstie Alley from her time on the wildly popular sitcom Cheers, there was much more to her than that. Alley was also a mother, and, at least part-time, she was a Floridian living in a home in Clearwater, Florida, that she purchased from Lisa Marie Presley. (The home recently sold for just over $5 million after Alley's death.)
