Cardi B and Stefon Diggs pack on the PDA as rapper plays doting girlfriend in surprise appearance at football camp
Cardi B and Stefon Diggs showed they are more in love than ever with a PDA-packed display at the NFL star's kids football camp in Maryland over the weekend. Diggs has made headlines in recent weeks for multiple wild partying videos, which revealed had left his rapper girlfriend Cardi B furious. But it appears the high-profile pair are happily moving on from the controversy, after she made a surprise appearance to support him at his summer football camp. Cardi, real name Belcalis Almanzar, turned out at the University of Maryland on Saturday to support her man, as he put on his annual 'Diggs Day' youth football camp. The rapper was happy to pose for photos with various attendees, while she and Diggs were also pictured kissing and hugging on the field. Despite the various controversies, the pair seemed more happy than ever, with Cardi laughing alongside her man between sessions inside the football stadium. The pair put recent controversies behind them to show that they're more in love than ever It is the fourth year that Diggs has put on his annual football camp at SECU Stadium, with hundreds of boys and girls between 6 and 16 turning up to meet the wide receiver and learn from him. The football camp is a far cry from the boozy boat parties Diggs has recently been spotted on, with the 31-year-old hitting headlines after he was spotted handing a mystery pink packet to three bikini-clad women. Reports claimed the New England Patriots - Diggs' new team - were also unhappy with his behavior and were even considering cutting him, though no official statement has been made by the team. This weekend a second video emerged of Diggs' antics, with a new video showing him wildly throwing his arms around, jumping from side to side and spinning in an erratic series of moves on the dancefloor. The clip is said to have been taken during Diggs' sister's wedding earlier this week. Last Monday, Diggs returned to practice with New England and NFL Network reported that the Patriots are determined to keep the receiver. Diggs signed with the Patriots after a year with the Texans. He suffered a season-ending ACL injury back in October but was back on the field this week. Though OTAs are optional, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network claimed: 'Stefon Diggs showing up today felt about as mandatory as it could be.' 'He's a very good player, they intend to pay him a lot of money - they haven't yet - especially after he passed the physical from his ACL recovery,' Rapoport continued. 'This is a player they want to keep, want to be making plays for them - that's why they signed him in free agency to such fanfare.

NFL star wide receiver Rashod Bateman signs new $37m, three-year contract
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has signed a new three-year, $37million contract with the team through the end of the 2027 season. Bateman has spent his entire professional career with the Ravens after being the team's first-round draft pick in 2021. This is Bateman's third NFL contract after a rookie deal and an extension last offseason. Last year, Bateman signed a $15million extension over three years, with Baltimore nearly giving the wideout that value each season through 2027. Bateman's 2024 speaks in large to his uptick in value with 756 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Before the start of last season, Bateman only had four career NFL touchdowns. Bateman will slot into the Ravens' starting lineup as one of the top trio of wide receivers alongside Zay Flowers and DeAndre Hopkins. The Ravens' backfield of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry should provide plenty of opportunities for wide receivers, even with the guaranteed touches two of the best players in the NFL will get every week from John Harbaugh. Bateman was also effective in the postseason last year, scoring two touchdowns before Baltimore's divisional-round exit against the Buffalo Bills. Heading into 2025, the Ravens look to be ready for another run at a Super Bowl, as is the case when one of the best quarterbacks in the league is under center. Bateman now will be integral to those efforts for years to come.
