Panthers traded kicker Zane Gonzalez to the 49ers, per his agent @MikeMcCartney7.

Full context, he's talking about how Kirk got a fully guaranteed deal and then Mahomes and Allen didn't push for it. Therefore they effectively set the market because other teams can point to them and say we're not doing fully guaranteed deals.
Odds to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, per FanDuel:
C.J. Stroud -270
Bryce Young +230
Anthony Richardson +800
@GenoSmith3 Your 43 INT worthy throws certainly shows your mastery of reading coverages 😂😂
None of Zane Gonzalez’s $1.465 million 2023 salary is guaranteed. So this doesn’t preclude the 49ers from making another move at kicker. They’re free to bring in competition at that position too

Yuhei Nakamura had never caught Shohei Ohtani once, even in the bullpen, prior to the 9th inning of the WBC Finals.

Nakamura is definitely highly underrated for leading 7 pitchers in the Finals and having no problem receiving Ohtani’s 100+ mph pitches and wicked sweepers when he had never caught him before.
Even had a great offensive tournament. I don’t think they win if they stuck w/ Kai.
After requiring season-ending shoulder surgery almost immediately after being drafted #2 overall, Druw Jones is back on the field. Today he scored a hit off of WBC champion Shohei Ohtani

Big Puma loves big games 😤 Here's the moment Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Schneider told Alek Manoah that he's starting on Opening Day!
TL;DR - a classic Toronto Sun "stir-the-pot" type post, but nothing too shocking is revealed. It seems like Ross and Gibby had some disagreements, particularly about the use of the "high performance" personnel, and Gibby had the feeling he was going to be canned after the 2018 season. Gibby believes it was the front office that leaked rumours about him being fired to gauge public perception of that move. Overall, sounds like Gibby understands that it was a business decision and still hypes up Toronto to everyone he talks to.
Schneider also announces that Yusei Kikuchi has earned a spot in the #Bluejays starting rotation.

The Cardinals have the 3rd most cap room in the NFL (thanks Kyler Murray contract) and are sellers right now. Yeah, it's rough out there.
Cain will be part of the Broncos’ new staff under Sean Payton.
Cain, who’d received NFL interest in previous years, will work closely with Denver’s outside linebackers and defensive linemen. The Broncos ranked No. 7 in the NFL in total defense last year.
League sources, including some with teams that have been in contact with the Broncos, have said so far the Broncos have been “resolute” about getting a first- or second-round pick in any deal that involved Jerry Jeudy.
One of the busiest NFL Draft prospects since the combine: Georgia QB Stetson Bennett, whose schedule so far includes private visits and/or workouts with 10 teams, per sources. Bennett won consecutive national titles with the Bulldogs and was a Heisman finalist last season.

When Lars Nootbaar first arrived in Japan for the tournament, he immediately faced a crisis prompting him to make an emergency call to his mother Kumiko; he didn’t know how to use the restroom
Immediately after arriving in Japan, Nootbaar needed to go to the restroom when he had only a few minutes before his bullet train would leave. He was able to get there, but did not know which button to press because there were so many buttons in Japanese restrooms, and immediately Facetimed Kumiko: “I have to be on this bullet train in a few minutes. Mommy, which button do I press?” Kumiko smiled fondly and recalled that this call, made by his son impatiently in the restroom at the station, was the first after his arrival in Japan.

Flexing games from Sunday to Thursday is a terrible idea for two main reasons:
- Player Safety
You can’t make this decision and also preach that player safety is a priority.
- Fans
People spending hard earned money to see their team play. Who’s paying to change their plans?

My understanding is the vote count in the room (no official vote was taken) for the tabled TNF flex proposal was as follows …
• 22 owners for it.
• 8 owners against it.
• 2 owners abstaining.
We’ll see if Roger Goodell, who was pushing for it, can get to 24 votes in May.
Goodell says “that would be impossible” about Jerry Jones’ claim he knows everything in the Mary Jo White report. Goodell also remains committed to releasing the report.
Trust the process? Goodell says the Commanders sale and Mary Jo White report are an ongoing process

In my playing days, most guys made less than $10,000 per year and worked for months without pay, including during spring training. Players would cram 6 deep in a 2 bedroom apartment, sleeping on air mattresses. That is finally starting to change.
It's been an honor to represent players in this case, including former teammates. Grateful to the team @KoreinTillery for the terrific work.
Brent Honeywell has a spot in the bullpen. Likely a length role, but the Padres really liked his stuff in spring, and he could work his way into some leverage — perhaps early with a couple key arms absent and the team preferring to avoid pushing its relievers.

Jalen Carter is not an option for the Raiders at No. 7, having already been crossed off the draft board by the team, according to a league source.
While the cases are not the same, the comparison is too close to home for the Raiders and their fans in the Las Vegas community following the 2021 arrest of former receiver Henry Ruggs. Ruggs is still awaiting trial on charges of DUI resulting in death, DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm and two counts of reckless driving in connection with the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog. He is accused of driving 156 mph with a blood-alcohol content of 0.16 before crashing into Tintor’s car.
