In what he called “a move that will have a ripple effect on all QB-needy teams,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday, citing league sources, that the New England Patriots are not expected to trade Garoppolo this offseason. “I’m telling you right now, (the Patriots) love Jimmy Garoppolo,” Schefter said on “SportsCenter.” “… He is not going to be traded.” The 25-year-old quarterback has one year remaining on his rookie contract, and with starting QB Tom Brady showing no signs of decline as he approaches age 40, many predicted the Patriots would deal Garoppolo rather than risk losing him for nothing

NFL Rumors: Giants Use Franchise Tag On Defensive End Jason Pierre-Paul
Share this: Jason Pierre-Paul reportedly will continue to terrorize quarterbacks for the New York Giants next season. The Giants placed the franchise tag on Pierre-Paul on Monday, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, citing league sources. The veteran defensive end was given the franchise tag in 2015 prior to his July 4 fireworks accident, which cost him his right index finger and parts of several other fingers. Despite the damage to his hand, Pierre-Paul proved that he could still be an effective pass rusher during the 2016 season. The 28-year-old recorded seven sacks and was tied for the NFL lead with eight deflected passes through just 12 games before his season was ended due to sports hernia surgery. Pierre-Paul played last season under a one-year

Before the NFL Scouting Combine kicks off Tuesday in Indianapolis, marking the unofficial start of the NFL offseason, we’re taking a position-by-position look at the Patriots’ roster. We’ll examine which players stood out in 2016, which ones have some work to do this offseason and which ones could be leaving town. Next up: the secondary.

Here’s What All 10 F1 Teams’ Liveries Will Look Like For 2017 Season
After an eventful off-season, Formula One finally is back. Preseason testing begins Monday, but the sport has been abuzz for almost a week now, as teams unveiled their new cars. The new technical regulations that are being introduced for the 2017 season will supposedly result in cars that are between four and five seconds quicker per lap. While we won’t know whether that’s the case for sure until qualifying for the Ausralian Grand Prix, after seeing each teams’ 2017-spec challenger, it’s clear the new regulations have led to more-aggressive looking cars. Teams are taking very different approaches to the the new aerodynamic regulations, but ... NESN.com
NHL Rumors: Wild Overpay To Acquire Martin Hanzal From Coyotes In Trade
Share this: The Minnesota Wild own the best record in the Western Conference, and they got a jump on Wednesday’s NHL trade deadline by making a move Sunday night. The Wild acquired centers Martin Hanzal and Ryan White from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a valuable collection of draft picks. ARIZ is receiving a first-rounder, a second-rounder and a conditional pick that can become a second. MIN is all-in — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 27, 2017 It's a 2017 first-round pick going from Minny to AZ for Hanzal, 2018 2nd and the conditional pick is 2019. — Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) February 27, 2017 That’s a steep price to give up for a 30-year-old veteran and a fourth-line forward. That said, Hanzal should provide the Wild with depth, scoring and
Isaiah Thomas’ Unbelievable Journey Soon Could Earn Him Hefty Contract
Share this: Isaiah Thomas could go from the last pick of the 2011 NBA Draft to a $179 million contract. Not bad, eh? Thomas will be in for quite the raise when his contract ends after the 2017-18 season, and he’s certainly earned it. The 28-year-old point guard quickly is becoming a household name throughout the NBA, and he’s in the midst of an MVP-worthy season for the Boston Celtics with his 29.7 points per game. So it’s safe to say the $6.26 million he’s owed next season will be a lot lower than what he’ll likely receive in free agency following the 2017-18 campaign. The Celtics and Thomas do have a few options on how they get to that point, though, and USA TODAY
