The Jaguars on Monday announced they had exercised fifth-year options on Lawrence and Etienne, options available because Lawrence and Etienne were Round 1 selections – No. 1 and 25, respectively – in the 2021 NFL draft. All NFL rookies drafted in the first round sign four-year contracts, with the team having an option for a fifth year.  Lawrence’s fifth-year option […]

Denny Hamlin called his shot ahead of Dover, guaranteeing a win on his podcast, then followed through on his bold boast that would have made the Bambino proud and held off Kyle Larson down the stretch to park his Toyota in victory lane.  Hamlin wiggled past lapped traffic and never let Larson squeak by him over the final laps in […]

Clemson defensive back Nate Wiggins was selected with the 30th overall pick by the Baltimore Ravens in Thursday night’s opening round of the NFL Draft.

As it turns out, USC receiver Xavier Legette’s pre-Draft intuition that the Carolina Panthers would select him early proved to be correct. And the team was so determined to do just that that it traded one space up to get into Thursday night’s first round.  Carolina swapped its 33rd overall pick (the first in Friday’s second round) with the Bills’ […]

The Carolina Hurricanes didn’t think they played their best in Game 3 against the New York Islanders.

The No. 1 pick in the NFL draft already has traded hands, with Carolina sending it more than a year ago to Chicago in a trade to move up to take Bryce Young first overall in 2023.  Based on recent history, plenty more first-round picks should change hands on Thursday night with teams either looking to move up a spot […]
