Justin Reid may have been the New Orleans Saints biggest free agent acquisition, but Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon sees it as one of the worst signings this year. Gagnon understands the signing has been praised, but he is “good being the contrarian.” He divided signings into good, bad and head scratching. Saints signing Reid can be found in the bad category, but it doesn’t have much to do with Reid as a player. Gagnon doesn’t like the fit from a timeline perspective.
Reid turned 28 last month and will be 31 by the time he plays out his contract.

A recent report that Derek Carr was open to testing the market as a free agent has garnered a predictable response from New Orleans Saints fans — if Carr was so eager to leave, why didn’t the team let him?
The answer comes down to money. Specifically the dead money New Orleans is paying to players no longer on the roster. Right now, they rank fourth with $50,772,346 earmarked from past deals with cornerback Marshon Lattimore ($31,661,837), wide receiver Michael Thomas ($9,187,177), quarterback Jameis Winston ($7,361,000), and running back Jamaal Williams ($2,340,000).

March Madness is soooo close, and if your team is lucky enough to be sent to Ball Arena in Denver for the first and second rounds of the 2025 NCAA tournament, then you absolutely must go.

Can South Carolina repeat? Can Paige Bueckers end UConn’s national title drought? Will JuJu Watkins power USC to the Final Four?
The storylines entering the women’s NCAA Tournament this year seem endless.
Despite losing a few games in the regular season, Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks are a No. 1 seed and have the chance to become the first back-to-back champs in the sport since the Breanna Stewart-led UConn teams of the mid-2010s.

A handful of first and second round games of the 2025 men’s NCAA tournament are taking place in Providence this year.
The NCAA tournament is finally here, and with that, the nation-wide tour the tournament takes is in full gear. It is a golden opportunity for communities that may not receive tremendous amounts of tourism to have new visitors by the thousands. The city of Providence is not a stranger to hosting the madness of March, having first hosted back in 1975.
Blake Wesley had a busy week with the San Antonio Spurs, playing in three of their four games. His March 14 performance against the Charlotte Hornets was his best in a while as he scored 10 points, the first time he’s reached double figures since Nov. 26 against the Utah Jazz. That helped him earn a week’s averages of 4.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 15.0 minutes.

Well before Notre Dame tipped off the 2024-25 season, most people believed it would be a national championship contender. For most of the season, the Irish rewarded that faith by beating some of women’s basketball’s best teams in nonconference play, winning 19 straight games and ascending to the top ranking in the country.
Everything changed as the Irish lost three of their final five games before the NCAA Tournament. That relegated them to a No. 3 seed, an unfathomable proposition only a short time ago.

After filling several key needs during free agency, the Denver Broncos now have one big need left to target in the NFL draft: running back.
In last week’s first-round NFL mock draft for Fox Sports, David Helman has Denver addressing the position by trading up for Boise State star Ashton Jeanty.
Helman mocks the Broncos trading up from No. 20 to No. 13 with the Miami Dolphins (the projection does not include an estimated cost for the trade).
“Sean Payton is an aggressive guy looking to add a dynamic weapon to his offense,” Helman wrote for Fox Sports.
