This April 24, the Bears organization will be hosting a press conference to announce their plans for a new publicly owned stadium, per WGN Radio 720’s Kevin Powell. The upcoming facility reportedly includes additional green and open spaces with access to the lakefront area on the Museum Campus. This comes amid the Bears’ recent shift of location plans from Arlington Heights to the Chicago lakefront. Last year, the organization purchased Arlington Park, a former horse racing track, for nearly $200 million. While they had already begun demolition of existing structures on…
First, it will take a first-round pick to trade for him, and the Steelers clearly don’t want to part with theirs. It would be embarrassing for the 49ers to trade him for a second-round pick, so they won’t. They don’t want that heat. So the Steelers would have to up their offer, which they’re unlikely to do because they’re not desperate. They don’t fire head coaches or general managers. No one’s job is on the line. They can afford to be patient and acquire a wide receiver at a reasonable price.In addition, their quarterbacks are Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.…

After signing a lucrative contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens last year, superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson headed into the 2023 NFL season highly motivated to prove his worth to the franchise and show the rest of the league that he’s still an elite player on the NFL level. Ultimately, Jackson didn’t disappoint the Ravens as he had one of the best seasons of his NFL career, which resulted in the team locking up the top seed in the AFC and their undisputed leader under center, winning his second NFL MVP award.Unfortunately for Baltimore, Jackson’s magic didn’t carry over once…
There’s still over four months to go until the Ravens take the field for the start of the 2024 season, and the earliest parts of the offseason workout program have only just begun. But newly-signed running back Derrick Henry has not wasted any time in making clear to his new team what he came to Baltimore to do: win a Lombardi. “I really want to hold that trophy up at the end of the year. But it starts right now putting the work in.” Henry said recently, per the team website. After eight seasons as a star running back for the Tennessee Titans,…
It is officially NFL draft week. For the first time in three years, the 49ers will get to be active in the first round. This draft is a big one for the 49ers. They have to be able to find multiple players who are impactful for the foreseeable future since they have failed to do so in the last few years. Much of that has to do with the positions they draft due to need. It causes them to constantly reach. Last year, the 49ers drafted kicker Jake Moody in the third round. At the time and in hindsight it…
The playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat just got a little more interesting after star player Jayson Tatum was on the receiving end of what some believed to be a dirty play. In the Celtics’ 114–94 win over the Heat in Game 1 of the series at TD Garden on Sunday, Tatum went up for a defensive rebound in the fourth quarter and took a painful mid-air bodycheck from the Heat’s Caleb Martin. Tatum fell awkwardly on the ground but quickly got up and fortunately appeared to avoid serious injury. Martin and Celtics wing Jaylen Brown exchanged…
