Deion Sanders’ Colorado roster is going to look different come Week 1 against TCU than it does today. The first-year FBS head coach said so himself on multiple occasions during Saturday’s sold-out spring game.
Part of that overhaul is because the Buffaloes’ staff is going to continue to add talent through the transfer portal over the course of the next few weeks and months. Part of that overhaul is because the transfer portal is a two-way street.

My gut tells me they’re going to stick to their guns on that.

With former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on his way to the Jets, football observers are weighing which team won a trade months in the making.

Mauricio Pochettino is in advanced talks with Chelsea to become manager at Stamford Bridge before the end of the season, a source has told ESPN.

Niners general manager John Lynch said the team isn’t actively shopping quarterback Trey Lance and expects him to remain with the team despite speculation he could be traded.

Fifteen Colorado players entered the transfer portal Monday as part of a post-spring practice exodus, as new coach Deion Sanders continues to reshape the Buffaloes’ roster.
