New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has been the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason. A first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Lattimore headlined one of the best draft classes in recent memory. The Ohio State product quickly established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the game, locking down his side of the field while playing a crucial role in turning New Orleans into a legitimate contender during the final years of Drew Brees’ storied career.

The Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver, Anthony Gould is an intriguing playmaker on this roster. Gould brings some unique skills and talents from Oregon State University to the Colts roster. In college, he was a triple-threat receiver who contributed to the passing game and running game, but his biggest contribution came on special teams. In the 2022 season, Gould led the Pac-12 in punt return yards with 256 and yards per return with 18.3. He also led the NCAA in punt return touchdowns with two on the year. As a receiver, Gould was a big-play maker who averaged 16.3 yards per reception in 2023. This ranked eighth in the Pac-12.

This Colts Rookie Wide Receiver Could Make a Splash in 2024

With the change at quarterback, the 2024 season marks the beginning of a new era for the Minnesota Vikings. While early signs point to veteran quarterback Sam Darnold beginning the year as the starting quarterback, rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy is the Vikings’ future at the position. When McCarthy eventually takes over, he will inherit an offense with strong infrastructure, featuring skill position players like wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, tight end T.J. Hockenson, and running back Aaron Jones. The offensive line boasts two elite tackles in Brain O’Neil and Christian Darrisaw, a serviceable center in Garrett Bradberry, and a decent left guard in Dalton Risner. Heading into the season, third-year right guard Ed Ingram has the most to prove on the offensive line. Due to the pressure on Ingram this season, David Kenyon from Bleacher Report considers him a bust candidate for the Vikings’ offensive line.

Gary Trent Jr. will be playing the 2024-25 season with the Milwaukee Bucks. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that Trent Jr. is joining the team on a one-year deal. The 25-year-old was seen as one of the best free agents remaining prior to being signed today. Since Milwaukee is operating over the second tax apron, they can only offer minimum-salary contracts. It is somewhat surprising that Trent Jr. is accepting that offer, but he will enter free agency again next offseason.

Including his time with the Anaheim Ducks, Theodore has 235 assists and 306 points through 497 career NHL regular season games. Moreover, he was one of the few bright spots on the Golden Knights blueline last season. He’s a player that one can absolutely see with their own statue outside the Fortress a decade from now. But an article from Sports Illustrated over the weekend brought up once again the elephant in the room for the Golden Knights, their salary cap situation.

When a top three overall recruit in the country signs on to play Kentucky basketball, everyone thinks high draft pick. That wasn’t the case for former blue-chip recruit Justin Edwards. Edwards was on the wrong side of history when he became the first top-three recruit to go undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft. This is even more daunting when considering the 2024 NBA draft class was widely regarded as weak. In Edward’s mind though, all this was a mistake. In an interview with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards reportedly stated,

Say what you will about players having to go to conference media days.

A part of Mike Trout’s injury update sees him work his way back from surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee that he underwent at the end of April. The initial report suggested a recovery timeline of six weeks was possible for the 32-year-old based on similar surgeries other players had undergone previously. But now there is good news- Trout has been swinging a bat as part of his rehab activities and said he expects to return by the end of July, per the Associated Press.
