If Chase Young wants a new deal from Washington, he has to earn it on the field.
After coming into the NFL with high expectations, it feels like Washington Commanders EDGE Chase Young could be on the brink of an exit from the Commanders. In April, the Commanders declined to pick up the fifth-year option for the defensive lineman, and he’ll be a free agent at the end of this year. However, we have seen players excel in contract years, putting together extremely high levels of play en route to a new contract.

LeBron James’ son, USC-commit Bronny, was on the receiving end of some racist comments after he posted photos of himself and his rumored girlfriend going to prom.
Bronny’s date, Peyton Gelfuso, is white.
While most people would respond to that by saying “…and?” the many who would more than likely identify as part of the “tolerant left” were hot under the collar that Bronny wouldn’t have taken a date who was the same race as himself to the dance.
Which is a wildly racist thing to say any way you slice it.
Wembanyama has a connection to people and places in France that are very hard to leave. But the No. 1 draft prospect knows there needs to be a goodbye.
NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero made an appearance on the cover of SLAM magazine in a wild outfit that has NBA fans making Michael Jordan jokes.
The cover photo features the Magic star rocking his Orlando jersey, Oakley ski goggles and extremely baggy jeans. It’s a look you almost have to see to believe.
It is slightly reminiscent of Jordan’s baggy jeans and denim-heavy looks that have often been made fun of, including when never-before-seen footage from The Last Dance showed off more of Jordan’s fits from over the years. Banchero’s look takes things to another level, though.
Ja Morant posted a series of cryptic photos and messages to his Instagram on Wednesday that had NBA fans concerned about the Memphis Grizzlies star. Memphis police responded to the concerning posts by performing a welfare check on Morant at his home in the area.
A spokesperson for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ that officers went to Morant’s home where he told them that “he is fine” and is “taking a break from social media.”
Morant posted, and then later deleted, pictures of his mom, father, and young daughter before posting a photo with the message ‘bye.
Carmelo Anthony isn’t sweating the fact he never won an NBA championship.
The talented NBA player officially retired Monday after nearly two decades in the NBA after being selected third overall in the 2003 NBA Draft.
Anthony was an incredible scorer during his career. He was absolutely unstoppable on the offensive side of the court and finished his time in the NBA as a ten-time All-Star.
The one thing he couldn’t ever win was a ring, but he’s not worried about it. As far as he’s concerned, he was a winner the moment he was drafted.
Carmelo Anthony officially retired from the NBA.
1. The Nuggets are headed to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Lakers, but when it comes to sports talk shows, Los Angeles is still the main focus. This is not sitting well with some prominent media figures.
Denver coach Michael Malone whined last week about his team not getting enough coverage, and he has some backup in ESPN’s JJ Redick and TNT’s Charles Barkley.
Redick complained on Tuesday’s First Take that the Stephen A. Smith–led show, as well as other programs, didn’t talk enough about Nikola Jokić and focused too much on the Lakers.
Paul George dismisses James Harden signing with Rockets: ‘They made their decision on who the future is’
The rumors connecting James Harden to the Houston Rockets have been circulating for most of this season. Harden famously took a pay cut last summer to return to the Philadelphia 76ers in hopes of winning a championship, but there were whispers he’d want to return to his old home in Houston as a free agent if Philly came up short.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was back practicing with his teammates this week for the first time since he was injured in a Christmas Day loss to the Packers, and one thing instantly stood out: He looked a lot different physically.
The former Alabama star, who entered concussion protocol three times last season and missed the team’s final three games of the year, has apparently bulked up during the offseason and looks to be a lot stronger. He’s also sporting a different helmet to help prevent any more head injuries.
The Packers were already in a bit of a slide, falling from 13–4 NFC North champions in 2021 to 8–9 and third in their division in 2022.
And that was before they traded away the best quarterback in franchise history, sending four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers to the Jets on April 24 in exchange for draft compensation.
An offense retooled around quarterback Jordan Love in his first full season under center would seem a harbinger of an imminent rebuild.
