Chicago Bears Reportedly Interested In New Combine Record One thing we’ve learned about Ryan Poles since he became Chicago Bears GM is he’s always interested in players who exude something special athletically. It is why he offered a hefty contract to Tremaine Edmunds in free agency last year. It is why he felt comfortable drafting Gervon Dexter in the 2nd round despite his limited production as an interior pass rusher. While the scouting combine doesn’t mean everything in the grand scheme of player evaluation, it is often a great indicator of who Poles and the Bears might be looking into.…
The New York Giants want running back Saquon Barkley back, but should the two sides not reach a deal and the Giants not use the franchise tag on him, NFL.com analyst Nick Shook has the perfect landing spot for the running back.

The Dallas Mavericks lost their third game in four on Friday. The Boston Celtics were too much for Jason Kidd’s team to contain. Boston’s array of shooting and defensive talent has seen them cement themselves as championship favorites. The game was a big test for the Mavericks, especially the backcourt pairing of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Kidd took a thinly veiled shot at his team when speaking at his postgame news conference. He noted how Boston’s success is predicated on their willingness to work for each other. “It’s a very rare thing in this league to see…
