Saints backup quarterback Jake Haener has had a slow start to his NFL career. A fourth-round pick last year out of Fresno State, Haener was forced to miss time due to a suspension. Now, as his sophomore campaign opens up, Haener may be forced to reckon with missed time yet again. According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN, Haener has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Haener chose not to disclose exactly what type of cancer he was diagnosed with but noted that it is rare to see at his age and is not life-threatening at the moment. He made the...

The Denver Broncos have been on a rollercoaster of expectations and disappointments in recent years. Of course, the team has undergone a significant overhaul. They hope to revitalize a franchise that once reigned supreme in the AFC. Sure, the spotlight often shines on high-profile acquisitions and established stars. However, it’s a lesser-known player who could be the X-factor in determining Denver’s playoff fate in 2024: Marvin Mims Jr.
Coach Sean Payton selected Bo Nix in the first round of the draft. Given Payton’s esteemed reputation as an offensive strategist, there’s cautious optimism as the team...
Here's a closer look at NBC broadcaster Mike Tirico's career accomplishments and his annual salary from play-by-play commentating.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker made waves back in May with a very controversial Commencement Address at Benedictine College for what some called anti-woman comments. Butker, a devout Catholic, has spoken frequently about his strong religious beliefs.
On Friday, he’s back in the spotlight, this time for taking exception to what he perceived as an anti-Christian scene from the 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Paris, France.
During the ceremony, a scene was shown that was reminiscent of the famous mural painting by Leonardo Di Vinci of the Last Summer, which depicts what Christians say is the final meal...
With Russell Wilson held out of the first two practices of training camp, Justin Fields has taken the reins as the team’s starter. If you listen to head coach Mike Tomlin, it’s no big deal.

Thr Green Bay Packers and quarterback Jordan Love have reportedly agreed to a four-year, $220 million extension, making him the highest-paid QB in NFL history.
With CeeDee Lamb officially holding out of training camp, you would think members of the Dallas Cowboys would be disappointed to see the team’s top target abstain from organized team activities in favor of pursuing his own financial well-being, right?
Are there a few members of the Cowboys roster who might feel that way? Eh, maybe so, but when it comes to big named stars like speedster Brandin Cooks, who will likely serve as the WR2 next to Lamb’s WR1, they know this sort of flashing abstinence from on-field action is nothing more than a negotiation tactic and as a...
The Packers have reportedly agreed to terms with Jordan Love on a four-year, $220 million contract. FOX Sports' Carmen Vitali details how Green Bay's success now rests in Love's hands.
The post Pat Freiermuth Raves about Arthur Smith’s Tight End-Friendly Offense: ‘It Was Very Refreshing’ appeared first on Steelers Now.
UNITY TWP., Pa. — Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is heading into a pivotal contract year, and Arthur Smith’s offense could be just what he needs to break through and establish himself as an elite tight end.
Last season with the Atlanta Falcons, where Smith was the head coach, tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith were second and fourth on the team in targets.
Through two training camp practices, tight ends have already been getting more targets in...
All of the available leaves have fallen for the Dallas Cowboys in the quarterback market after Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa both got paid.
Forget leaves. The forest has been wiped out.
The Dallas Cowboys have not been shy about it. Despite the fact that history tells us markets only go up at the superstar positions in the NFL, they have been waiting and waiting and waiting again as things relate to Dak Prescott.
We all have opinions on Prescott. You may believe he is the right man to wear the heavy crown of QB1 for America’s Team, or you...
Although it’s only been two days of practice and the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t put on the pads until next week, the biggest headline news is Justin Fields serving as the team’s starting QB while Russell Wilson nurses a minor calf injury. Wilson should be back soon, perhaps this weekend, but Fields has taken advantage of […]
