The Payton Turner Era has not gone according to plan in New Orleans, and the Saints could cut him as they build their 53-man roster. Selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the first selection of the post-Drew Brees Era failed to live up to his draft status. Thanks to a combination of injuries and ineffectiveness, Turner has appeared in just 15 games throughout his professional career without recording a start. While on the field, the Houston product has recorded just three sacks, 29 tackles, eight tackles-for-loss, and eight quarterback hits.

The Golden State Warriors have gone through a tough offseason this summer. They brought in some solid players like Kyle Anderson, De’Anthony Melton, and Buddy Hield. However, none of these additions will negate the loss of Warriors legend Klay Thompson, who joined the Dallas Mavericks this offseason. Additionally, the Warriors moved on from point guard Chris Paul and big man Dario Saric. Since winning a championship in 2022, things have been going downhill for the Warriors. However, it is clear they are still interested in competing for a championship as long as Stephen Curry is on the team. And while he is no Thompson, the Warriors are reportedly eyeing a former first-round pick to add to the mix. According to his agent, Daniel Hazan, 2014 first-round pick Bruno Caboclo is working out with the Warriors. Hazan said that Caboclo is hopeful of an NBA contract and believes it will happen.

Under AJ Preller, the Padres have seen 11 hitting coaches in 11 years. Is it possible Victor Rodriguez is the last?. Padres New Hitting Coach Might Take Them All The Way.
