Highsmith’s new money makes him the 10th-highest paid pass rusher in the league.

The Cowboys have a busy final stretch of this offseason, along with a whole lot of work next offseason when it comes to negotiating contracts with young stars. But it appears their current outlook with one of the longer-tenured and most talented players could become a bit cloudy in the immediate future as well.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, All-Pro offensive lineman Zack Martin is reportedly considering not reporting to training camp due to unhappiness with his contract.

Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole last year is still making headlines to this day. Before the 2022–23 season started and the Warriors were set to begin their title defense, a video of Green punching Poole during a practice was leaked and the team started the year on its back foot.  
As a result of the incident, Green was fined and stepped away from the team for some time. He apologized, but things were never the same. While talking to 76ers guard Patrick Beverley, Green was asked about what led to the punch and he gave a cryptic answer.

Death, taxes, and golf fans yelling about whether it’s The Open or the British Open. Like clockwork, each time Open Championship week rolls around the age-old debate of what the tournament is actually called, or whether or not it’s appropriate to even call it the British Open, ensues. Collin Morikawa, a former Champion Golfer of the Year, has made his mind up on the matter.
Speaking ahead of this week’s Open at Royal Liverpool, Morikawa was asked about the two names and gave both a rather savage, and accurate response.

To say the Yankees are struggling would be putting things very lightly. They limped into the All-Star break by losing four of five games and they have failed to impress out of the All-Star break by losing four of five games.
The latest loss came Tuesday night against the Angels, where the Yankees got just two hits in a 5-1 loss. They’re now 50-46 and find themselves in last place in the AL East. 
Yankees manager Aaron Boone is seemingly on the hottest seat in all of baseball and if it were up to many of the team’s fans, he’d be out of the job as of five minutes ago.

Patrick Mahomes had an outrageous amount of confidence in the Kansas City Chiefs making the Super Bowl this past season.
The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 in a Super Bowl matchup for the ages, and there was apparently never a doubt in Mahomes‘ mind that Kansas City would be playing for the Lombardi Trophy.
In a clip from Netflix’s hit “Quarterback” series, which follows Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota, the Chiefs starting QB told Hurts ahead of the Super Bowl he booked his accommodations for his family three months ahead of time.
