The Miami Dolphins added linebacker help, signing veteran K.J. Britt on Monday. Britt spent the past four seasons in Tampa after being drafted by the Buccaneers in the fifth round out of Auburn in 2021. He made 15 starts with 59 appearances for the Buccaneers, recording 105 tackles (56 solo), a 1/2 sack and three passes defensed. He also made appearances on special teams with 21 tackles. Britt has appeared in six postseason games with two starts, 21 tackles and one pass defensed. It’s the latest move the Dolphins have made to bolster their defense, which finished as the fourth-best…
Make no mistake, the Detroit Lions need help on the edge, but the interior is pretty strong with Alim McNeill, DJ Reader, Levi Onwuzurike, Roy Lopez, Mekhi Wingo, Myles Adams, and Brodirc Martin. Now they’re making another move to help the interior by bringing back veteran lineman Pat O’Connor. Bob Quinn drafted O’Connor back in 2017, but he didn’t make it out of camp. He finally played for the Lions last year when they signed him as a free agent after he spent seven years with the Bucs. A lot of that time with new Lions defensive line coach Kacy…
It remains to be seen whether the Detroit Lions will add to their pass rush with another signing of a defensive end, but it’s clear that fans want another one. It’s a fair thing to want, as Detroit’s pass rush undeniably struggled last year toward the end of last year. At that point, the Lions were missing Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, and Alim McNeill—four players who are still on the roster and expected to play—but Detroit could certainly use some insurance. So here’s a look at the best defensive ends remaining in free agency who could be a…
As the new league year approaches the end of its first official week, former Detroit Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith remains a free agent. The Lions released Smith prior to the start of free agency, as doing so allowed them to avoid paying the $2 million roster bonus he was owed. Smith would’ve cost around $11 million against the cap had he remained with the team under his current contract. However, the team could look to reunite with the defender on a new contract if they so desire. To this point, Detroit’s lone move to address its pass-rush need was…

This year, general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have embraced a methodical approach to free agency, emphasizing the importance of understanding player fit within the team’s culture. Recently, the Lions made headlines by signing several notable free agents, including cornerback D.J. Reed, defensive tackle…

Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope is known for his unorthodox methods, but his latest move to motivate his team has left everyone speechless. According to sources close to the team, Pope gathered his players in the locker room before their latest game and… proceeded to shave his head bald! That’s right, folks. Mark Pope, the man tasked with leading the Wildcats to victory, decided to take a razor to his own scalp in a bizarre attempt to rally his troops. “I just wanted to show my players that I’m all in,” Pope explained in a post-game interview. “I’m willing…
Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind. In a recent interview, Pope expressed his frustration with the officiating in the NCAA Tournament, sparking a heated debate among college basketball fans and coaches. Pope’s comments came after a contentious game against a tournament opponent, in which he felt that the referees made several questionable calls that impacted the outcome of the game. “I think it’s clear that there are some inconsistencies in the way the game is being officiated,” Pope said. “It’s frustrating as a coach, because you feel like you’re…
The Los Angeles Lakers have a bright future to look ahead to, but all of that’s possible because they avoided two mistakes that could’ve ruined this. The Los Angeles Lakers are looking ahead to a bright future in the short and long term, primarily because the franchise landed Luka Doncic to be their superstar for the next decade. Not only does it prepare the Lakers for the post-LeBron James era, but it also gives LeBron a better chance at contention because Doncic is one of the few players James can be a genuine No. 2 to right now. They’re 42-25…
Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope learned a valuable lesson this week: be careful what you joke about. During his weekly radio show, Pope quipped that he would be willing to help out with gas money for fans traveling to Milwaukee for the NCAA Tournament. Big Blue Nation took him up on the offer – literally. Pope’s executive assistant was inundated with emails from fans requesting gas money, with one student even asking for a plane ticket. Pope quickly realized that his joke had backfired. “That was not a good call on my part,” he said. “This is not going…
