Last week, Madden ratings came out for the top cornerbacks in the NFL. Trevon Diggs disagreed with his rating of 87 overall, which made him 12th-best among corners. The Dallas Cowboys apparently disagree, too, because they rewarded him with a massive contract Tuesday, according to ESPN.
From ESPN’s story: “Diggs’ $19.4 million average ties him for fifth among the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL with New Orleans’ Marshon Lattimore. Green Bay’s Jaire Alexander ($21 million), Cleveland’s Denzel Ward ($20.
Boxer Angelo Snow has not been paid the $4,000 purse he said he’s owed by Matchroom Sport for his July 15 fight with Jemarco Holloway. A dispute has arisen over returned tickets taken on commission.

The latest quarterback-contract domino has fallen.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Los Angeles Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert have come to terms on a “landmark” contract extension. As reported by Schefter, the parties have agreed on a five-year, $262.5 million extension that keeps him in Los Angeles through the 2029 season.
Herbert is the latest young quarterback to reach agreement on a long-term extension this offseason.

The Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert have agreed to a five-year, $262.5 million extension through the 2029 season, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. In the deal, Herbert could get $218.7 million guaranteed and $133.7 million fully guaranteed.

The Browns aren’t shy about singing Garrett’s praises, so much so that they’re building their defensive revamp around him.
There’s a new vibe in Washington as training camp begins.
Broncos coach Sean Payton did not hold back on his thoughts about the NFL’s gambling policy that has led to a series of players suspended for violating the league’s mandate, including his own defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.
Payton told USA Today Sports on Tuesday that as more players have been suspended recently, the league must look at its own communication of the gambling protocol.
“When you have a bunch of players getting D’s, you have to start looking at the message,” Payton told Jarrett Bell of USA Today Sports.
Another $304 million was wasted Tuesday; surprisingly, it did not end up in Ukraine.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown signed a ‘supermax’ contract extension, totaling a tremendous five-year, $304 million deal — the biggest contract signed in NBA history.
Now, if you were to take a step back and ask yourself who the highest-paid player in the NBA is (assuming you’re that bored), you’d probably guess LeBron James.
Or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Maybe Nikola Jokic, considering he’s the ‘head-and-shoulders’ best player in the league right now.
Turns out it’s actually the No.
