Russell Wilson's name thrown out as potential surprise cut in 2024
The 2024 NFL season can't get here soon enough. With so much time to think, it seems some of us writers have started to put stuff in the universe that probably doesn't need to be out there. The problem with the NFL offseason is that you can say just about anything is in the realm of possibility until it's not. That's sort of what seems to be going on with a pretty major outlet suggesting former Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson could be cut for the second time in 2024.

Former Penguins still out on the UFA market
Daniel Sprong signed with Vancouver over the weekend for a one-year deal worth little over the minimum salary. It’s just the latest twist to continue his strange and winding career. Sprong has scored 39 goals and 89 points in the prior two seasons, for two different clubs (Seattle and Detroit). In both instances, he did so from a low time on ice role, but made the most of it. The Canucks will be the 27 year old’s sixth team. He’s yet to play 90+ games with any one team. For one reason or another that’s clearly not related to his play (general vibes? attitude? awareness? coachability?) Sprong hasn’t quite found his niche and place just yet.
