If there’s one thing you can say about New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, it’s that he’s unquestionably a “football guy.” Ahead of the team’s Week 1 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Saleh ran the stairs of MetLife Stadium.
He played football in college, but did not advance beyond. He started coaching shortly after his playing career ended. But that drive to be a football player apparently never left. Players usually respond well to coaches who put in the physical work, so Saleh’s approach endears him to his players.

Mel Tucker has come out firing against Brenda Tracy and Michigan State officials, claiming the school is looking for ways to get out of his expensive contract.
A response was sent out Monday afternoon by Mel Tucker’s attorney, on behalf of the head football coach. In it, Tucker accuses the investigation of not being fair and unbiased, while also implying the school had alternative motives for this entire saga.
Chris Jones’s holdout from the Chiefs is set to end this week after the two sides reportedly agreed to a new one-year deal, according to SI’s Albert Breer.
Jones, who still had one year left on his deal, did not tack on any new years to his deal. Instead, the 29-year-old will receive various incentives which will enable him to earn “considerably more money” in 2023, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Jones had a base salary of $19.5 million for this season under his previous deal and was due to his unrestricted free agency in ‘24.
Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins absolutely shredded the Los Angeles Chargers defense Sunday. Tagovailoa threw for over 450 yards and Tyreek Hill had over 200 of those yards.

Yet on the very first Miami Dolphins offensive snap, that’s exactly what the Chargers did. Khalil Mack, known for his pass-rushing prowess and not coverage skills, lined up across from Hill.

Shedeur, the son of first-year Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, produced another excellent performance on Saturday in Colorado’s 36-14 victory against Nebraska, throwing for 393 yards on 31-of-42 passes, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
As the Heisman Trophy hype for the junior signal caller continues to rise, ESPN’s Pat McAfee believes Shedeur should be the No.
