Retired tight end Rob Gronkowski sounds convinced quarterback Tom Brady won't play for the Las Vegas Raiders at any point. "This is the craziest thing I'm hearing all month so far in the month of May, and I've heard some crazy things in the month of May," Gronkowski said about Brady possibly starting for Las Vegas this fall during a Wednesday appearance on the "Up & Adams" program, as shared by Matt Hladik of The Spun. Gronkowski and Brady previously played under Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels when McDaniels served as offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots, and the two future...

While Tom Brady playing quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023 — a team he has an ownership stake in — sounds a bit farfetched, the NFL says it’s definitely a possibility.A league spokesperson confirmed to TMZ Sports on Wednesday that Brady could take snaps for the Raiders even as a part owner of the team if agreed to by a consensus of the other NFL owners.“Two NFL-wide votes would need to happen in order for Brady to be a part of the Las Vegas ownership group and be under center at the same time,” TMZ Sports reported.Brady would...

Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson possesses phenomenal upside, yet he's still raw and might not be ready to start Week 1.During an interview with James Boyd of The Athletic, Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay compared Richardson's athleticism to a "superhero" but explained he must refine his game to grow into a viable NFL starter."No quarterback has brought those skills to the table, the athletic testing," Irsay said. "Anthony and I have talked a long time about that, but we really talked more about being a great quarterback and what that really means in this league because we're not drafting Olympic athletes....

Philadelphia’s Nakobe Dean learned a lot about the NFL during his rookie season. In the offseason he learned even more about mechanical engineering.Eight days after the team's loss in Super Bowl LVII, Dean returned to the University of Georgia for two classes: Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. Georgia’s spring semester began in January but the Eagles season didn’t end until February. So Dean had to take the first month of classes online before returning to school.

Paul Chryst was a rather successful college football coach. The problem? He seemingly wore out his welcome at Wisconsin after a stretch that saw him basically dominate in the Big Ten from 2015-19.After leading Wisconsin, his alma mater, to 10-win campaigns in four of his first five seasons, Cyryst went 4-3 in 2020 and 9-4 in 2021, which was apparently enough of a "slip" to earn him a pink slip in 2022. The Badgers fired Chryst mid-season last season after a 2-3 start with losses to Washington State, No. 3 Ohio State and Illinois.Chryst won't be a head coach again...

"The day when I do retire, it's gonna be with Pittsburgh. Like, I'm trying to retire with Pittsburgh. But before I do that, I might be like, 'Hey, let me get a couple carries in the preseason so I can show you all something.'"The 31-year-old may believe he still has some left in the tank but it's...

Although the free agency fun doesn't begin in the NBA for another month, officially kicking off on July 1, the rumors surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers have already picked up steam. Technically, one could argue they began down the final stretch of the postseason, specifically when Kyrie Irving showed up to a pair of the team's playoff games.While the top free agents and big names such as Irving are always going to drive the most intrigue, the Lakers will be plenty busy in free agency when considering they could have as few as four players remaining on their roster if they...

"I think we’ve got a good mix of different types of guys. I think it’s important, really, in your skill positions between tight ends, backs, and receivers that you have a mix of different types of skillsets — and I feel like we have that.
