Richardson, who was perhaps the most contentious prospect in the most recent NFL Draft, had absolutely zero chance of being a first round pick last September.
After a contract conflict that extended into training camp, the Vikings and pass-rusher Danielle Hunter have agreed to a new one-year contract that can be worth up to $20 million, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Recapping the Belgian Grand Prix
The first half of the 2023 Formula 1 season is in the books.

John Ruiz contends that he is not a booster, so for sake of this article, we will call him a donor or a sponsor. Regardless of his title, Ruiz is the most important NIL point person for the University of Miami.
