Deadline For Patriots To Tag Dont’a Hightower Is Quickly Approaching
Share this: The New England Patriots cannot to meet with Patrick Dye, Dont’a Hightower’s agent, at the NFL Scouting Combine before determining whether to franchise or transition tag the free-agent linebacker.

The Patriots undoubtedly have been deep in thought on this matter since they failed to reach a contract extension with Hightower before the 2016 season began. If the Patriots still can’t extend Hightower before Wednesday, they must make a decision whether or not to franchise or transition tag the linebacker by 4 p.m. If the Patriots choose not to

Chiefs Sign RB C.J. Spiller, Possibly Moving On From Jamaal Charles
Share this: The NFL free agency period has not yet begun, but the Kansas City Chiefs have already made a splash. The team announced the signing of veteran running back C.J. Spiller on Friday. The 29-year-old back had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets last season, playing in a total of six games between the two teams. While Spiller is not a marquee signing by any means, the move raised question marks regarding the Chiefs roster. Kansas City already has a plethora of backs, including skilled runners in Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. With strong depth in the backfield, it is believed that the odd man out could be Jamaal Charles. When healthy, Charles has been one of the premier

NBA Rumors: Timberwolves Interested In Acquiring Knicks’ Derrick Rose
Share this: It’s been a season to forget for the New York Knicks. The team has underperformed on the court, and the front office has grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Knicks appear to be willing to part with most of their players, as Carmelo Anthony has been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time.
