Malik Willis Could Trigger a Premium QB Market in Free Agency

Amid a thin 2026 quarterback class, Malik Willis is the top free-agent option and could spark a bidding war, with Ian Rapoport suggesting a contract in the $30–35 million per year range—well above Justin Fields' $20M. Willis’ three Packers starts showed upside (972 yards, 6 TDs, 0 INT, plus 2 rushing TDs) but a small sample size. The Steelers, once linked to Fields, may be out if price stays high, while only a few other teams have solid alternatives.

Rift grows between Kyler Murray and Cardinals GM as offseason talks fade

The relationship between Kyler Murray and Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort appears strained, with reports they have not spoken this offseason despite Ossenfort’s claim they did. Murray carries $36.8 million guaranteed for 2026, and the Cardinals would prefer a trade if possible. A trade before June 1 would keep the 2026 cap hit around $18 million, while if Murray remains on the roster past March 15, his 2027 base salary of $19.5 million would be guaranteed.

McGregor blasts stalled UFC return as contract remains unsigned

Conor McGregor says he’s ready to return but the UFC hasn’t sent a contract after offering him a matchup and date he accepted, posting—then deleting—a message calling it "Day 15 of I accept, send the contract" while waiting for over two weeks. The saga follows his last fight in 2021 after a broken leg, with past plans to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303; Dana White has signaled Chandler isn’t the current plan, though McGregor believes he should still face him.

New York City Nurses End Six-Week Strike With Pay, Staffing Pact

Thousands of nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia voted to end a six-week strike by ratifying a three-year contract that includes roughly a 12% raise, staffing protections, and layoff safeguards (with AI provisions for the first time). The stoppage, the largest and longest NYC nurses strike in decades, involved up to 15,000 nurses across several hospitals and led to replacement hires and care disruptions. While the deal averts further walkouts for now, tensions between the NYSNA union and hospital leadership are likely to linger as the next contract approaches in three years.

Cowboys land Javonte Williams on a three-year, $24M deal

Williams posted career highs in rushing attempts (252), yards (1,201) and rushing TDs (11) in 2025, plus 35 receptions for 137 yards, and the move could influence ongoing talks to keep wide receiver George Pickens on the Cowboys long-term.

Ravens Face Tough Talks to Keep Tyler Linderbaum

Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said the team has 'some work to do on Tyler Linderbaum's contract' as the center approaches free agency after Baltimore did not pick up his 2026 option. With the franchise-tag cost for offensive linemen rising and Creed Humphrey leading the position at about $18 million per year, Baltimore may need to reach an extension to keep him from testing the market.

Diggs Expects to Remain with Patriots If They Don’t Opt Out

Stefon Diggs says he expects to stay with the New England Patriots beyond 2026 unless they opt out of his three-year deal; after returning from a torn ACL, he posted 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, marking his seventh 1,000-yard season and the first by a Patriots receiver since 2019, though the team could save $16.8 million by releasing him.

Cam Thomas and the Nets: A Promising Run Ends, A Fresh Start Looms

The piece reviews Cam Thomas’s time with the Nets, highlighting his scoring bursts and 40-point games while explaining that newer CBA rules, style differences, and concerns over winning led Brooklyn to hesitate on a long-term deal. Thomas chose a qualifying offer after turning down other offers, changed agents twice, and battled hamstring injuries, leaving both he and the Nets with a sense that his best days could lie ahead with a future team while his current era ends.

A’s lock in Jacob Wilson with seven-year, $70 million extension

Oakland signed shortstop Jacob Wilson to a seven-year, $70 million extension with a club option for an eighth year, guaranteeing him at least $70 million and adding two potential free-agent years for the A’s. Wilson, 23, broke out in 2025 (.311/.355/.444 with 13 homers and 26 doubles) and is a core piece behind a young lineup, though his defense at short has drawn mixed reviews. The deal strengthens Oakland’s young core (alongside Soderström, Butler and Rooker) as they pursue a move to Las Vegas and navigate CBT payroll dynamics, marking one of the franchise’s largest guarantees to a player with limited service time.

Ngannou’s PFL Future Hangs in the Balance as Rankings Exclude Him

He has floated a possible June UFC White House appearance, but there’s been no return announcement, and the PFL is still weighing options for a meaningful matchup.
