Sometimes the right decision is obvious to everyone but the one closest to it. Roughly 13 months ago, the Toronto Raptors faced something of a crossroads. They had an entire half-season of proof that their current group wasn’t good enough to contend. All-Star point guard Fred VanVleet was heading for unrestricted free agency, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam had 1.5 seasons left on their deals, and it looked like the highly-respected front office was going to pull the plug and enter a rebuild around promising second-year point guard Scottie Barnes VanVleet would have been a highly-desired option on the trade…

The Indianapolis Colts are going into the regular season with an extremely young cornerback room, one that won’t be featuring one of their fifth-round picks from the 2023 NFL draft. In a mildly shocking move, the Colts wound up waiving fifth-round pick Darius Rush as a part of the moves to get the roster to 53 players before Tuesday’s deadline. Meanwhile, they opted to keep seventh-round pick Jaylon Jones. When asked what went into cutting Rush, general manager Chris Ballard’s answer was pretty simple. “That’s a good question, that was hard. Jaylon Jones,” Ballard said Wednesday of the reason that led the…
The Baltimore Ravens took a flyer on veteran Odell Beckham Jr. last season, paying him what amounted to $16 million for 35 catches, 535 yards and three touchdowns. But when you consider Beckham posted a career-best 16.1 yards per catch in the process, his season doesn’t look so bad. And the Pittsburgh Steelers could be on the hunt to add him to their ever-changing roster. Pittsburgh has already added wideout Van Jefferson as new general manager Omar Khan continues to overhaul the Steelers’ roster through free agency, and it seems the top wideout priority for Khan is former Bengal Tyler…

The 49ers have made a pair of moves which will primarily affect their special teams. Wide receiver Chris Conley has been re-signed on a one-year deal, per a team announcement. In addition, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle notes cornerback Chase Lucas has been signed, also on a one-year accord Conley joined San Francisco last offseason to offer the team a complementary option in the passing game along with the potential for special teams contributions. The 31-year-old had not been a mainstay with respect to third phase duties in many of his previous stops. Drawing only eight combined targets between regular and postseason play in…
