Jalen Hurts regressed in the 2023 season, throwing a career-worst 15 interceptions. And there are those who believe NFL defenses have solved how to play against him. "The word is out there, if you run zero (blitz) against Hurts, or show zero and back everyone out, he will panic," a defensive coach told The Athletic's Mike Sando. "That has to change. They lose Jason Kelce, who handled the protections, basically did everything, and you bring in a coordinator who likes to drop back. It will be interesting."

Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees may play a game of contract chicken this offseason, as the veteran ace can opt out but the team has a remedy for such an action. "Back from an elbow injury and pitching well, Cole also figures into this winter's free agency with a strong expectation that he will opt out of the final four years and $144 million of his nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees. But any fear that Cole will find greater riches elsewhere can be allayed simply: If he chooses to opt out, the Yankees can nullify it by adding a 10th year at $36 million onto his original deal."

Aaron Donald clearly hasn’t lost a step in retirement. He’s still the freakishly athletic human that he always was during his 10-year career in the NFL. Just how fast is Donald? He and former NFL star running back LeSean McCoy recently raced in a parking lot and it was Donald who crossed the finish line first – and he was wearing jeans. That’s a 280-pound defensive tackle beating a former running back who ran a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash at the 2009 NFL combine.
