NFL – Lions in unfamiliar territory, picking late and trying to keep talented roster intact
The Detroit Lions are in unfamiliar territory. Detroit has the No. 28 pick overall in the NFL draft, its latest slot in a decade. The Lions also have a lot of talent for a change and that’s not cheap to keep. That’s a credit to general manager Brad Holmes, and it’s also a challenge as he tries to retain the team’s best players. Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown are among the key players signed through at least 2027. Some other key players such as Aidan Hutchinson are due to get paid by Detroit, or another team in free agency.
NFL – Rodgers says he’s not holding teams hostage as he ponders his future in the NFL
Aaron Rodgers is in no rush to make a decision about his future. The free-agent quarterback said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday that he is “not holding anybody hostage” as he weighs whether to return for a 21st season. Rodgers was released by the New York Jets in March. The 41-year-old four-time NFL MVP has visited the Pittsburgh Steelers and talked with the Minnesota Vikings in recent weeks. Rodgers said he will keep the lines of communication open, but added that there are certain things going on in his personal life that are currently taking precedence over anything related to football.
NCAAFB – Notre Dame QB Steve Angeli entering transfer portal
Senior quarterback Steve Angeli plans to enter the transfer portal now that Notre Dame has played its spring game. The Athletic reported Angeli’s plans on Thursday. Angeli is best known for relieving Riley Leonard late in the first half of January’s national semifinal. He led the Fighting Irish to their first score of the game. Leonard later returned and helped Notre Dame rally from a 10-3 halftime deficit to a 27-24 victory. Angeli was in a three-way battle to replace Leonard as the starter, but the competition may not have gone the way Angeli expected. CJ Carr appeared to outplay Angeli in last week’s spring game. Angeli has two years of eligibility remaining.
NCAAFB – MSU’s Nick Marsh turned down more money from other schools to stay
Michigan State wide receiver Nick Marsh had a chance to cash in on his record-breaking freshman season by entering the transfer portal to play for another program next fall. Marsh chose to stay for less money and made his mother proud. The Spartans will wrap up spring football practices with a scrimmage that is not open to the public on Saturday. Marsh was a bright spot during coach Jonathan Smith’s debut season that ended without a bowl bid, setting Michigan State freshman records at the school with 41 catches and 649 yards receiving.
