Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs remains away from the team. After leading the NFL in rushing last season, Jacobs wanted a long-term deal from the Raiders. But instead, Las Vegas placed the franchise tag on Jacobs.
That guarantees him just over $10 million this season with no commitment beyond. Running backs are fed up with the franchise tag, since their careers are already short. Jacobs might only have one or two more good NFL years left. He wants the Raiders — or another team — to pay him.
That makes sense.

Zach Wilson’s first two years in the NFL were a struggle, but Aaron Rodgers’ offseason arrival was the best thing that could have happened to him. While it may have been a shot to the ego, it will benefit him greatly in the long run.
He gets to learn from one of the best to ever do it!

Wilson grew up idolizing Rodgers. The former wanted to be just like the latter all throughout his high school and college careers.
The Cowboys‘ defense is talking like a group ready for its encore performance after a superb 2022 NFL season. The group is loaded with playmakers on the defensive line, at linebacker and in the secondary, and many players aren’t shying away from making it known.
Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is among those players, and during a recent interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio on their training camp tour, he sounded off on a number of topics.
“Jeter came in and destroyed the ballpark.

The Cowboys and All-Pro guard Zach Martin agreed on a reworked deal Monday that will put an end to the team captain’s holdout, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal will pay him more than $18 million in each of the next two seasons and was confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Martin originally was due to make $13.5 million in 2023, including a $1.7 million base salary. That’s far below the league’s top earners at the offensive guard position, and he has not reported to training camp due to his lack of a new deal.
Former Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria ripped into the team’s former CEO Derek Jeter in his new book, “From the Front Row: Reflections of a Major League Baseball Owner and Modern Art Dealer.”

Victor Wembanyama has been a member of the Spurs for less than two months, but the No. 1 overall pick already is bonding with his new teammates. San Antonio forward Jeremy Sochan, who is known for colorfully dying his hair, shared a video on social media of Wembanyama adopting one of his hairstyles.
In the video, Sochan reveals that Wembanyama dyed his hair white with a large purple spot, a long way away from his naturally black hair. The style is one of many that Sochan has sported on and off the court since playing college basketball at Baylor.
For three years straight, British race driver Jamie Chadwick was an undisputed champion. She won the inaugural W Series season in 2019, then came back to defend her title in ’21 and ’22. (There was no season in ’20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.) In the new, women-only racing series, Chadwick held just about every record imaginable: She secured the most wins, podium finishes, pole positions and points. But in June, what was heralded as the first international women’s racing series in motorsport history officially went into administration (the U.K. equivalent of declaring bankruptcy).
Sean Payton has the best shoe game of the 32 NFL head coaches. It’s official.
The 59-year-old has access to new kicks unlike any of his counterparts. He is the first NFL coach to sign an exclusive deal with Jordan Brand and rarely wears the same pair of shoes twice.
