Today, Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen became eligible for a four-year, $75 million contract extension with the Suns. Thank you for reading this post, don’t forget to subscribe! Phoenix holds Allen’s bird rights, so the Suns are the only ones that can sign him to sign to this deal. The deadline for the extension lasts until June 30, the final day before free agency. The Suns acquired Allen from the Milwaukee Bucks on Sept. 27 in the Deandre Ayton/Damian Lillard trade.

Ezekiel Elliott playing for the Cowboys again has been a fan topic since he was released a year ago. But as Dallas looks to fill its roster with low-cost veterans, the idea is now getting some traction in the media. Another veteran running back, Dalvin Cook, is also being mentioned given his own link to the organization. Zeke, of course, has the stronger tie after playing in Dallas from 2016-2022. He was released last year in a cap-clearing measure, with his days as an All-Pro RB seemingly behind him. Elliott spent 2023 in New England and was a serviceable part…
Detroit Lions are coming off one of the best seasons in franchise history, winning 12 regular-season games, earning their first division title since 1993 and appearing in their second NFC Championship Game. With a winning mentality established, the Lions should be looking down every avenue to improve. One of their best remaining options to do so is free-agent cornerback Xavien Howard, the former Miami Dolphins standout. Only 30, Howard has a strong résumé that includes four Pro Bowls, one All-Pro selection and a third-place finish in the Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2020. Howard is also…
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ headlining move on defense during 2024 free agency is also the latest storyline in the team’s long rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens. It’s not often a player signs with a divisional rival in free agency, but former Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen did just that when he signed a three-year contract with the Steelers on March 15. During league meetings in Orlando on March 25, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh lamented losing Queen in free agency within the AFC North. Patrick’s a great player, a great guy,” Harbaugh said, via the Ravens’ YouTube page. “I love…
The Toronto Maple Leafs came out firing on all cylinders on Tuesday night against the Devils, putting up 25 shots and 10 high-danger chances in the first period. The Leafs ended up down 2-1 after the first period thanks to Devils goaile Jake Allen. It appeared that the Toronto Maple Leafs would keep this momentum going after rattling off two goals in the first five minutes of the second period to take a 3-2 lead. But the collapse began no less than a minute later when David Kamph lost Timo Meier in the slot alone to tie the game…
The he Rams signed former All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White for $8.5 million. Was this a good move? We will find out in time but here’s what we know. White has been an elite corner in his past, isn’t 30 years old yet but has suffered two of the most catastrophic injuries you can have as an athlete. White tore his ACL in 2021 and last year tore his achilles tendon. It’s safe to say that the risk is fairly evident in this signing. Risk #1: Availability The Rams are giving $8.5 million to a player that is coming off…
finishing with a 9-8 record to conclude the 2022 NFL regular season and come just short of making the NFL playoffs, the Detroit Lions came into the 2023 campaign with arguably the most hype of any team in the league, as everyone expected Dan Campbell and company to make a big jump. Despite dealing with all the pressure of being expected to take two steps forward, the Lions were able to live up to expectations and then exceed those expectations, with the team going on to win the NFC North division title and punch their ticket to the postseason.…
Despite having a 30-point lead against the Atlanta Hawks, the Boston Celtics still managed to lose against them down the stretch. This prompted Jaylen Brown to drop brutal and honest take on their collapse during the game. In that game, the Celtics blew a 30-point lead and allowed the Hawks to go home with the 120-118 win. De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic had 24 and 22 points, respectively to lead Atlanta’s offense against Boston. Dejounte Murray also added 19 points and 15 assists against the third-ranked defense in the NBA. Meanwhile, the Celtics saw Jayson Tatum shoulder much of…
