Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who spent the first seven years of his professional career with the Dallas Cowboys before being released in mid-March, remains unsigned nearly three months into free agency. While a market for the three-time Pro Bowler hasn't materialized to this point, Elliott doesn't appear too desperate to ink a deal anytime soon.

2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask may have already lost a supposed quarterback competition to free-agency signing Baker Mayfield before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even open summer training camp sessions. According to the Joe Bucs Fan website, retired quarterback, brother of New Orleans Saints' Derek Carr and current NFL Network personality David Carr suggested during an on-air segment that Mayfield began the first full week of June as the leader in the clubhouse to start over Trask when Tampa Bay opens the regular season at the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 10. "...Kyle Trask is going to have to do something extraordinary" to...

After a disappointing playoff exit, the Boston Celtics find themselves at a crossroads this offseason. Brad Stevens and company have a $600 million decision looming over their heads.

The Clemson Tigers are cooking with gas at the inside linebacker position thanks to their latest 2024 commitment.Sammy Brown, a five-star linebacker from Jefferson, Georgia, is a big-time recruit.

The best stat to determine a player's worth is WAR--wins above replacement--an analytical metric that was not available until relatively recently. The formula for WAR differs for position players and pitchers, and I'll lay it out in layman's terms. WAR uses every aspect of the game-- batting, baserunning, and fielding, factors in position and ballpark and determines how many wins better than a league average player an individual player might be. Using WAR to help us rank them, let's look at the top 24 players in the history of the Oakland Athletics franchise.Eddie Plank 1901-1914 (77.2 WAR) (1 of 24)Leading...

Most reports seem to indicate that Dalvin Cook’s time with the Minnesota Vikings is coming to an end.And while Cook would likely have multiple suitors, one team is likely to aggressively pursue the 27-year-old running back should he become available, according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.“It’s certainly a real possibility if he’s cut by Minnesota,” Jackson wrote. “There would be interest on both sides. … If they ultimately do release him, I would expect a Dolphins pursuit — but likely not at a salary close to the $10.4M he’s due to make this season. … The Dolphins, eventually, likely...

NBC Sports NFL analyst Chris Simms wasn’t the biggest believer in Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence last season.That’s no longer the case after Simms bumped the 23-year-old quarterback up to the No. 6 spot in his annual quarterback rankings, an 18-spot jump from where he had Lawrence ranked last season."You turn on Trevor Lawrence and go, 'Whoa, holy cow. (Aaron) Rodgers' arm is strong but it ain't as strong as Trevor Lawrence's anymore,'" Simms said. "Trevor Lawrence's arm went to another level this year. I mean the control of his fastball, that's where it went to another level. He's great...

New Suns owner Mat Ishbia is a big supporter of Michigan State, but he'll no longer support individual athletes financially.

The Missouri Tigers landed themselves a more than notable hoops commitment over the weekend in the person of 7-foot-3 center Connor Vanover.He's a big man and he's experienced, which are two traits that certainly play in college basketball. A Little Rock, Arkansas native, Vanover played for the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2020-21 and 2021-23, averaging 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in just 12.1 minutes per game. Playing time was obviously a concern and it undoubtedly played into his transfer to Oral Roberts last season, where he averaged 12.7 points and 7.2 in an extended role with 25.8 minutes per game.Now heading to...
