Jets land Kingsley Enagbare on 1-year, $10M deal as Packers rebuild edge

The New York Jets signed former Packers edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare to a one-year, $10 million contract. Green Bay could receive roughly a sixth-round compensatory pick, though the Packers can pursue compensatory free agents and other moves without jeopardizing higher-pick projections. Enagbare, a 2022 draft pick (179th), started 21 games over four seasons and logged 1,896 defensive snaps plus 614 on special teams. The Packers have shuffled their edge/defensive-line groups after trades involving Rashan Gary and Colby Wooden, and are expected to add depth at edge and along the line for 2026.

Saudi flag football heads to L.A. as U.S. team enters three-team showdown

War in the Middle East forces the Saudi flag football event to move to Los Angeles, where on March 21 at BMO Stadium a three‑team tournament will be played: two teams made up of current and former NFL players and the U.S. men’s national flag football team. Coaches will be Kyle Shanahan and Sean Payton, with Robert Saleh as defensive specialist. Potential players include Barkley, Garrett, Beckham, Gronkowski and possibly Logan Paul. USA Football will determine the Olympic roster, making the event a real competitive step toward flag football’s Olympic presence and a measurable risk for NFL players.

Melbourne Opens F1's New Hybrid Era

F1's 2026 season kicked off in Melbourne with a radical rules shake-up: smaller, lighter cars and far more powerful hybrid power units that force energy conservation across laps, reshaping race strategy. Mercedes showed pace as George Russell won, with Kimi Antonelli second and Charles Leclerc third; Lewis Hamilton finished fourth. Verstappen crashed in practice/qualifying, and Piastri failed to start due to power-unit issues, with six cars retiring overall. Cadillac and Audi debuted with mixed results as teams adapt to the new powertrains, and the season moves to Shanghai amid cautious optimism about the new racing format.

Broncos eye blockbuster RB splash, targeting Travis Etienne in free agency

Denver reportedly plans a major free-agent swing at running back, with Travis Etienne as a leading target and the Chiefs as a potential rival. Market signals place top RB salaries around $12 million, with Kenneth Walker also in consideration. Denver has invested heavily in its offensive line and needs a durable, three-down back to improve a run game ranked 19th in attempts. Etienne’s 1,000-yard, 13-TD 2025 season makes him attractive, though his career yards-per-carry has varied. The club could pursue multiple options, including JK Dobbins and Jaleel McLaughlin, who are set to hit free agency, to bolster the position.

Bears Target Anzalone to Replace Edmunds, Riling Lions Fans

Chicago reportedly plans to replace Tremaine Edmunds by pursuing Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone in free agency, leveraging a defensive-coordinator connection from New Orleans. Anzalone posted 95 tackles last season and has strong coverage, though injury history is a concern; Chicago may also consider re-signing D’Marco Jackson and other linebackers as it builds for 2026, a move likely to irritate Lions fans.
