ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions invested in their linebacking corps in the offseason, drafting former Iowa star Jack Campbell with the No. 18 pick and re-signing Alex Anzalone to a three-year, $18.75 million deal to bolster a position group that was shaky at times last year.Linebacker play will be key to Detroit’s defense after it finished 29th against the rush and 30th against the pass in the 2022 season when the team finished 9-8.Anzalone, the veteran in the room, said this week at training camp the linebacker depth is as deep as he’s seen it in his three seasons in Detroit.“There’s five or six guys who can legitimately start in the NFL and have started in the NFL, obviously Jack (Campbell) hasn’t yet,’’ Anzalone said.Campbell has continued to impress early in training camp, recovering a fumble during drills on Friday.“He’s growing mentally, there’s just little details to the game that you see from spring to the first full practices.

Matthew Judon explains early limitations in Patriots training camp

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:47:58 GMT

FOXBORO — Patriots outside linebacker Matthew Judon stayed on the practice field for the entire third day of training camp.That’s not exactly noteworthy stuff for most players on the Patriots roster, but Judon was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday and spent most of Day 2 on a side field working on conditioning despite not starting camp on the PUP or NFI lists. Red flags were raised and it was wondered aloud whether he was “holding in,” a popular practice among players who are unhappy with their contracts but don’t want to face the fines of not reporting to training camp. Multiple sources told the Herald that Judon was not holding in, and that was evidenced by the fact that the edge defender did participate in team drills Friday.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots skill player ‘day to day’ in absence from training camp New England Patriots | Matthew Judon deserves a pay raise from Patriots; what would it look like?

Knicks contracts see increased value as NBA salaries skyrocket

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:47:58 GMT

The Knicks, in terms of salary construction and inside the context of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, are in a good position. Their house is in order, even if they remain far off title contention.What does that mean, exactly? It’s multi-layered, but best explained by this encouraging statistic: The Knicks, who finished among the top 8 after winning their first playoff series in a decade, don’t have a single player in the top 50 of the NBA’s highest-paid for next season.They have No. 52 (Jalen Brunson, $26.3 million), No. 53 (Julius Randle, $25.7 million) and No. 61 (RJ Barrett, $23.9 million), but none of their current contracts can be considered bad. At worst, some are questionable. Even Evan Fournier’s expiring contract has value.This may change soon with extensions due for Josh Hart and Immanuel Quickley. We’ll see. The word on Hart’s extension, which will be delivered in August, is in the range of four years, $75 million. Quickley, we...
