The Los Angeles Rams had one of the best running backs in the NFL this past season, and he could further improve this season by remaining on the field the entire year. Williams was one of the best running backs in the entire league, as he came out of nowhere and was one of the biggest reasons why the team was able to surprise a lot of people this season and make the playoffs. Last season, he finished with 12 rushing touchdowns, which ranked him seventh in the entire league – and six behind the NFL leader Raheem Mostert. Williams did this…

THE GOLDEN STATE Warriors finished the 2020-21 season on a 10-3 run to vault into the play-in tournament. They failed to advance, losing back-to-back heartbreakers to the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies, but that late-season run rekindled their collective faith after two lost years: When Stephen Curry is right, our style can still work. Klay Thompson was set to return in 2021-22 after two crushing injuries vaporized consecutive seasons; Thompson tore an ACL in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, then ruptured an Achilles during a Nov. 18, 2020, workout — the same day the Warriors selected James Wiseman with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, a move that has…

The New York Jets continue meeting with draft prospects throughout this process and are welcoming in a talented player from Alabama. With the NFL draft a little over one week away, the New York Jets are continuing their process of meeting with certain targets to decide who they’ll take with their No. 10 overall pick. It’s imperative that they get this one right because they don’t select again until the third round. Because this draft is so loaded with offensive talent, many mock drafts out there have the Jets taking a skill position player in the first round, despite them having obvious…

Could Dallas Cowboys Draft Texas Longhorns Duo Adonai Mitchell & Jonathon Brooks? A new mock draft has the Dallas Cowboys neglecting their need at offensive tackle and instead adding two weapons for Dak Prescott on offense. With the NFL Draft almost a week away, the Dallas Cowboys are seemingly “all in” on using it to build out their roster. After a free agency period where the Cowboys made just one addition and re-signed a few of their own free agents while also losing several key contributors, there are plenty of needs. However, despite the glaring need at left tackle after Tyron Smith’s…

The Los Angeles Rams extended both Joe Noteboom and Brian Allen in 2022 when their rookie contracts expired, rewarding both of them for their contributions over the previous four years. Noteboom was viewed as the starting left tackle, while Allen earned himself the center job after playing well in 2021. Neither player was a full-time starter last season, however. Allen was subsequently cut this offseason and Noteboom could be in danger of suffering a similar fate. With a $20 million cap hit, he’s the team’s fourth-most expensive player in 2024 – not a title you want attached to a backup lineman.…

The Los Angeles Lakers feared Austin Reaves would try to leave in free agency in the summer of 2023. He was restricted, and LA planned to match any offer. Still, it was scary when the Spurs lurked with the possibility of offering $100-plus million, which would feature massive salaries in years three and four. They had interest, but Reaves decided to re-sign with the purple and gold on a bargain deal. The 25-year-old wing got a four-year $53.8 million contract. He has a player option in 2026 for $14.9 million and makes less than $14 million per season in each of his three…
