The Browns drafted Baker Mayfield to kick off this year’s draft and now they’ve added another quarterback to the roster.

Earl Thomas Skipping OTAs, Pete Carroll Unsure When Seahawks Star Will Join
Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas has yet to appear for the team’s offseason workout program, and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed it’s unclear when the six-time Pro Bowler will formally report.

LeBron James appears to troll Enes Kanter and Knicks with ‘I’m King’ shoes at MSG
LeBron James got the last word Monday night, trolling New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter with “I’m King” shoes in his visit to Madison Square Garden.

Will Giants keep OBJ?
With the Rams trading for a receiver other than Odell Beckham Jr., the question becomes whether the Giants will trade Beckham elsewhere. The comments from new offensive coordinator Mike Shula suggest that they’ll move forward with this “vital part” of their offense.

Broncos expected to shop Riley Dixon
Now that the Broncos have signed veteran punter Marquette King, they are expected to shop Riley Dixon, Mike Klis of Denver’s 9News reports. However, since everyone knows Denver isn’t keeping Dixon, the chances of a team actually trading even a seventh-round pick are slim. Few punters are drafted, much less traded, though Dixon was a […]
