[Harris✱ @RaptorsHarris]

The Wizards GM Will Dawkins pulled off a masterclass in asset management

He turned:
- Bradley Beal’s awful contract into Chris Paul
- Immediately flipped Chris Paul for Jordan Poole
- Waited a season to let Poole get his value up
- Traded him to the Pelicans for CJ McCollum’s expiring contract
- traded Kyle Kuzma at max value to the Bucks for Khris Middleton’s soon to be expiring contract
- used McCollums contract to buy low on Trae Young
- used Middletons contract to buy low on Anthony Davis

All while drafting Alex Sarr, Keyonte George, and Tre Johnson while making these moves

This is a masterclass in nba contract management and shows the value of expiring contracts. Incredible

With all 10 positions filled in the NFL Coaching Search how do we feel about all the hires? Going to come back with more thoughts about each hire. Early favorite may be Jessie Minter or Klint Kubiak both very promising.

AFC South technically will be first. Due to Jacksonville closing their stadium.

[Karsen 🐎 @Broncos4six]

Just realized the AFC West will be the first division with all enclosed stadiums

Thats minimum 11 games a year indoors

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Another talented DB headed to the portal looking for more playing time! Excited to see where the grad transfer lands! #ForksUp

[ÄDAMA D. FALL @AdamFall6]

ASU will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and the entire Sun Devil community. Ready to finish the bowl, then I’ll be entering the portal as a grad transfer❤️

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Our WR1 this upcoming 2026 NFL Draft! Elite talent! Will make an impact with any team! Excited to see where he goes! #ForksUp 🔱 https://t.co/3eVqonE9hb

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

CB Joseph McGinnis is in the portal! He has 2 years of eligibility left! Talented CB looking for an opportunity to get on the field more! Excited to see where he lands!

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

After a great year CB Keith Abney has declared. A lock for Day 2 maybe even a Day 1 riser after the combine!

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Arizona State star corner Keith Abney II is declaring for the NFL Draft, he tells ESPN. Abney emerged as a first-team All-Big 12 corner in 2025 and is a potential Day 2 pick. Abney finished the year with 12 passes defended, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

After a great year @raleek2 has declared for the draft! He will be a great asset to any team looking for RB help! He was a huge reason the ASU team stayed afloat this year despite all the injuries.

[Chris Karpman @ChrisKarpman]

BREAKING: ASU star RB Raleek Brown will forgo his final season of college eligibility and enter the 2026 NFL Draft, people familiar with the decision told me and @mzenitz.

@on3 @PeteNakos DJ Lagway to the portal isn’t just a move it’s the first domino.
QB rooms, NIL budgets, and recruiting boards are about to shift fast.
#CollegeFootball #TransferPortal

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Context matters: DJ Lagway’s 2025 season showed flashes of elite arm talent, but inconsistency and decision making held him back.
The upside is real the polish isn’t there yet.

[On3 @On3]

BREAKING: Florida QB DJ Lagway plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, @PeteNakos reports.

https://t.co/aZDF9FPJsC

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

DJ Lagway hitting the transfer portal is a MAJOR shake-up.
Talent? Undeniable.
Development + consistency? Still the question.
The right system could change everything 👀

[PFF College @PFF_College]

Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft🔱

WR1 on the PFF Big Board

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

This is an interesting job to take. Such a tough place to build a winner with the other powerhouse programs in the SEC. Excited to see how this pans out for the Razorbacks.

#Razorbacks #Arkansas #SEC

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Huge loss for the 1st place @Patriots The former LSU Tiger will miss at least 4 games due to his ankle injury.

#NEPats #GoTigers

[Mike Reiss @MikeReiss]

Starting LT Will Campbell will be placed on injured reserve today, according to Mike Vrabel.

The team is signing CB Miles Battle to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

This is a great hire for OSU. Excited to see how he can impact the program. His history with QBs is very impressive! How do the Mean Green replace him?

#CFB #GoPokes #UNT #GMG

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

Eric Morris:

• recruited Patrick Mahomes to Texas Tech
• developed Cam Ward from a 0-star recruit to the #1 pick
• has Drew Mestemaker as FBS’s leading passer (3,469 yds) after he never started a varsity game

Morris has led UNT to 10 wins for the 1st time since 1947.

In his now 13 yrs as a HC/off coord, his offenses have ranked Top 10 nationally (FBS or FCS) in yards 10 times.

Oklahoma State is about to be VERY fun to watch.

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

The NWSL is gaining traction! Beautiful sight to see.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

The NWSL Championship drew 1.184M viewers, the most-watched NWSL match ever.

It's the first NWSL match to cross a million viewers.

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Myles Garrett is on pace to break the NFL sack record and the Browns are wasting a generational pass rusher. You don’t get many chances to build around a guy who changes every snap. Cleveland better put a real winner around 95 before this historic run becomes another “what if.”

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Jahmyr Gibbs just exploded for 219 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs, and a receiving TD and it’s no fluke. With 155 attempts for 951 yards and 10 total TDs this season, he’s the dual-threat nightmare defenses dread. #OnePride 🦁

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

George Pickens just keeps leveling up. Through 10 games: 67 catches, 1,054 yards (15.7 YPC), 8 TDs. His back-to-back 9-catch, 140+ yard games show he’s not just the #2 option he’s a vertical threat turning into a centerpiece. #Cowboys

[On The Whistle @GoOnTheWhistle]

Matt Stafford’s MVP case is real: top tier efficiency, big-time throws every week, and the Rams’ entire offense runs through him. MVP conversation needs to include #9.
