The Buccaneers announced Tuesday they are signing former Rams quarterback John Wolford. The details of the deal are unknown at this time. 
Wolford now joins a quarterback room that consists of 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask and former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield as the team looks for its new starting signal-caller to replace Tom Brady, who recently retired. 
The 27-year-old went undrafted out of Wake Forest in 2018 but signed with the Jets that offseason. He wasn’t there for long and was cut that September.

There are calls for West Virginia to fire men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins, and for good reason: He casually uttered a hateful term repeatedly on a Cincinnati radio show, somehow managing to offend Catholic and LGBTQIA+ communities, along with anyone who is a member of both or cares about either.

Not as punishment. Not to forfeit a buyout. I want Huggins to resign.

It’s hard to believe that Bill Cowher hasn’t coached in the NFL since 2006. The former Steelers coach walked away at the time with many believing that he was just taking a break from coaching, not retiring for good.
Cowher has been an NFL studio analyst for CBS Sports ever since, and is likely known more for that role than his previous coaching role by the younger generation of football fans.
