A Major Contract for Tyler Steen?

The Philadelphia Eagles have built their reputation by developing some of the NFL’s best offensive linemen.
After awarding big contracts to several of their offensive linemen in recent years, another name could soon hit the jackpot: Tyler Steen.
According to an analysis by Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, the 24-year-old offensive guard is currently the most promising young player in the organization.
As he approaches the final year of his rookie contract, Steen is reportedly in a stron

No fewer than 15 players have requested that an independent arbitrator determine their next annual salary in the NHL.
The Robertson brothers, Jet Greaves, Peyton Krebs, Akira Schmid, Trevor Zegras, among others…
And Kirby Dach!
My first reaction when I heard this news: Come on! You've got to be kidding me! Who do you think you are, Kirby?Kirby Dach to Kent Hughes, like…:

Dear Gossips, The celebrity I thought about the most this weekend was the one coming through my headphones, in her FIFTH DECADE of coming through my headphones – in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and now it’s 2026 … and what’s coming through my headphones aren’t her old bops but brand new tracks on a brand new album that is, incredibly, not just her best album in 20 years, but is already widely considered to be among her best, PERIOD.Madonna, of course.

Kent Hughes may still make moves in the trade market. But that won't be easy for a general manager who has several issues to address right now.
At this point, it's doubtful he'll be able to land a defenseman to pair with Lane Hutson, a physical forward, a third-line center, AND a top-6 winger.
That's why we've decided to look within the organization and identify five players who could fill those roles if the GM isn't able to make a move. His job is to add players to help the team… but it

Something really strange is going on with the Blue Jays in 2026. I don’t know exactly what it is, but nothing is working.
Actually, we do know what it is: the stars aren't hitting, starting with Vladdy. But we're wondering where this lack of power is coming from.
Take, for example, the series in Seattle this past weekend. In 26 of the 27 innings in the series, the Toronto offense was unable to score.
John Schneider's team was lucky to win Friday's game 2-0, thanks to two runs in the third

It's now July 6. The NHL offseason has been underway for a few weeks.
We all agree that there are still some active issues (hostile bids, free agents, and the trade market), but we also agree that things have quieted down.
Teams can still make roster moves, but it's not as straightforward.
That made me want to revisit an article I wrote a month ago to see, in practice, just how much the Canadiens still had to do this summer.
The article in question? “The 12 Tasks of Kent Hughes and Jeff Go

The Leo Carlsson situation continues to be the talk of the NHL.
For those who may have missed it, the Flyers recently made a hostile offer to the young Ducks forward. If Anaheim decides not to match it, the organization will receive four first-round picks as compensation.
All signs point to the Ducks already preparing for this eventuality.
According to David Pagnotta at Hello Hockey, the Ducks are reportedly considering what to do with those four picks. The idea isn't necessarily to keep them al

When comparing a Canadiens prospect to a former player from the organization, it's often a matter of playing style.
In the case of Michael Hage, he's being compared to… Max Pacioretty, and that's something else entirely.
The comparison isn't based on their skating, their shot, or even their offensive potential.
Rather, it's their mindset that brings them together.
A recent article in The Hockey News notes that Hage chose to return to the University of Michigan for another season. It's a d

In 2018, Bryce Harper was asked by the league to participate in the home run derby, which was being held in Washington. Harper, who was with the Nationals at the time, said yes.
With his father on the mound, he agreed to go. And he won on home turf, a few months before leaving as a free agent.
Now, here we are in 2026. He's been with the Phillies for a while, and this year's contest will be held in Philadelphia.

There are new developments in the Pavel Mintyukov case.
According to Frank Seravalli, the Ducks defenseman, who was a restricted free agent, reportedly received a hostile offer from a team whose identity is not yet known.Sounds like the looming offer sheet will ultimately lead to a deal in Anaheim, as Mintyukov's preference is to remain with the Ducks. https://t.co/3QiV8ddxWR

Today is the last day for a restricted free agent who is eligible for arbitration to file the necessary paperwork to potentially go through the arbitration process.
With the Canadiens, there was speculation about whether any player would do so. Among the Habs' NHL players, Kirby Dach and Arber Xhekaj are eligible, but Zachary Bolduc is not.
And now, according to David Pagnotta, Dach is set to file his paperwork. David Pagnotta reported the news.Add another RFA to the arbitration list. Montreal's

The recent signings of Jakub Dobes and, above all, Ivan Demidov make it seem as though Kent Hughes is a magician when it comes to negotiating with his players.
The Habs' GM really seems to be drawing on his experience as a former player agent to give himself every possible advantage in reaching agreements that benefit both the team and the players.
Furthermore, over time, Hughes has begun building relationships with other player agents that are proving increasingly beneficial for his club. This

The Brandon Aiyuk situation continues to fuel discussions throughout the NFL. As the star wide receiver is clearly looking to leave the San Francisco 49ers, one team remains at the center of the rumors: the Washington Commanders.
For several weeks now, however, the organization led by Dan Quinn has remained silent. This lack of comment, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, could mean much more than it seems.
The journalist believes that if Washington had no interest in Aiyuk, the team

After a 2024 draft class that many observers deemed disappointing, the Detroit Lions are hoping their young players will take a major step forward in 2026.
Among them, one name keeps coming up: Tate Ratledge.
According to an analysis published by Bleacher Report, the second-year offensive guard is considered the most important player in the 2025 draft class for the Lions' ambitions this season.
Analyst Brad Gagnon believes Ratledge will play a crucial role in stabilizing Detroit's offensive line

Currently, three teams have interim managers: the Red Sox, the Phillies, and the Mets.
When Alex Cora was fired by the Red Sox, it set off a chain reaction elsewhere in Major League Baseball. The Phillies and the Mets expressed interest in his services.
Ultimately, Cora decided to take the rest of the year off. Nevertheless, the Phillies and the Mets have since chosen to replace their managers.
This winter, those three clubs will reassess their options. I expect the Red Sox to consider keeping C

The Minnesota Wild are actively looking for a top-6 center, ideally for their first line.
It's not always easy to add a player of that caliber, but the team has been strongly linked to Dylan Larkin ever since he requested a trade.
The team was also very interested in Robert Thomas, but the Blues rejected a trade that would have sent Danila Yurov and Jesper Wallstedt to St. Louis.
Now, the Wild are reportedly in the running for a bigger name than Larkin and Thomas.
In fact, Joe Smith and Michael

Claude Giroux is one of the free agents still on the market.
The 38-year-old veteran still has plenty of good hockey left in him, and many are wondering where he'll end up.
In total, three teams are reportedly still in the running.
We already knew that the Philadelphia Flyers and the Senators were interested.
The Flyers, in fact, seemed to be very close to signing him, but there has been no confirmation (neither from the Flyers nor from Giroux's camp).
In fact, it appears that Leo Carlsson's sit

As we know, Tarik Skubal has a real chance of being traded within the next month. The Tigers pitcher is likely to be the biggest catch on a market that, as usual, will favor teams looking to sell pitchers.
Because every good team needs starting pitchers at the trade deadline… especially if that pitcher is Tarik Skubal.
Of course, we often talk about the usual suspects (the Dodgers and Yankees, among others) as teams to watch. But this morning, Bob Nightengale mentioned another team that c

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk continues to make headlines for reasons that go far beyond the field.
While his future with the organization remains unclear, a recent social media post has reignited discussions about his behavior and his strained relationship with the team.
Over the weekend, Aiyuk posted a video on his social media accounts directly targeting Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. In his remarks, he referred to Daniels by his jersey number, “5,&r

The Anaheim Ducks find themselves in a rather precarious situation today. The team must decide whether or not to match the hostile offer made to Leo Carlsson, which would pay him $18 million a year.
They have the money to match it… but they also need to sign Cutter Gauthier and Pavel Mintyukov. That's where things could get tricky.
We know that Gauthier isn't eligible to sign a hostile offer, but Mintyukov could be. And that means that right now, it feels like the Ducks are pretty vulnera

At this point in the season, and given their current standing in the standings, the Toronto Blue Jays need to rack up wins. But once again yesterday (Saturday), that wasn't the case against the Seattle Mariners.
And once again, pitcher Shane Bieber didn't get the job done. Granted, the starter pitched a strong first inning and retired the first two batters in the second.
But then, the tsunami hit. A double, a single, another single, a walk, and the cherry on top: a grand slam. Fortunately, after

On Friday afternoon, the Flyers stole the show by making a massive hostile offer to Leo Carlsson. Reports suggest a five-year contract worth $18 million per year, aimed at luring the young center away from Anaheim.
Will the Ducks match the offer? We'll find out by next Friday.
But after seeing the hostile offer signed by Carlsson (and the one signed by Barrett Hayton on Wednesday), one wonders if others will follow suit. However, it's important to remember that today is a key date in the hostile

Kyle Van Noy, a two-time Super Bowl champion and NFL veteran with more than a decade of experience, remains a free agent heading into the 2026 season, despite recent developments that suggested there would be strong interest in his services.
The 35-year-old linebacker had, however, put together an impressive season in 2024 with the Baltimore Ravens, recording a career-high 12.5 sacks in 16 games, which earned him his first Pro Bowl selection at the age of 33. That performance served as a reminde

We were expecting a big move from Kent Hughes this summer.
We expected the Canadiens' GM to make a major trade, as he has done every summer since taking the helm with the Montreal Canadiens.
That hasn't happened yet. And at this point, we have to wonder if it will happen at all.
Of course, there's still plenty of time left before the end of the summer, and the season doesn't start tomorrow either. But… July 1 has come and gone, and teams are starting to take shape for the upcoming season.

Last night, Major League Baseball announced the players who will be in the All-Star Game, which will take place in just over a week in Philadelphia.

Mavrik Bourque was traded to the Nashville Predators in recent days.
And it didn't take long before he signed a new contract with the Preds, as he had been looking for a new deal ahead of next season.
The Quebec native signed a six-year deal worth $5.5 million per season with the Predators: that's a really great contract for the young player… and it must make Zachary Bolduc happy.

Aaron Donald reignited discussions about his future this weekend, as his name has once again begun to surface in speculation about a possible return to the NFL.

His response—a simple “eyes” emoji—immediately caught the attention of fans and American football observers.
