NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. slammed online rumors that he was going to call it quits.
A fake social media account pretending to be an ESPN NFL insider posted on X that Beckham was going to call it a career after 11 years in the league. The photo along with the post showed Beckham with his child outside MetLife Stadium – where he started his NFL career.

Beckham caught wind of it and appeared to be unhappy.
"LOL WTF… when was that announced and by who? That's funny , appreciate the concerns but this Shxt ain't over yet," he wrote in response to the fake account.
He then implored NFL fans to be wary of what they're reading on the internet.
"No seriously. Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement b4 u p--s me off," he added. "That will get no response. I promise u the day I'm done I will let u kno. Again if u text me happy retirement im just gon have to block u. Thanks."

The Giants selected Beckham out of LSU with the No. 12 pick of the 2014 draft. He quickly made a huge impact on the field – and at one point was being compared to Jerry Rice with some of the numbers he was putting up.
He had 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns in 56 games with the Giants. However, Beckham's antics on the field didn't appear to please Giants ownership. He was traded to the Cleveland Browns before the 2019 season and bounced around the league from there.
He helped the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl in 2021, but an injury in the game had him on the mend for the entire 2022 season. He played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and the Miami Dolphins in 2024.

He's still a free agent heading into the 2025 season.

Bills Receive Good News on James Cook on Tuesday
Bills Receive Good News on James Cook on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills have been looking to benefit off Josh Allen's prime for the past several years but have continuously fallen short of reaching the Super Bowl. Buffalo has met its match in the postseason on several occasions, losing four times to the Kansas City Chiefs led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid. As they look to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC, who have won the conference championship in three straight seasons, the Bills have been monitoring the progress of running back James Cook throughout the offseason. Cook has missed several days of training camp as he looks to earn a contract extension, but the team got some good news Tuesday with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that the running back has returned to practice. According to Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk, the Bills had the chance to fine him for voluntarily missing practice due to a contract dispute. Another punishment could have occurred when Cook missed the Bills' preseason opener. Cook is entering his fourth season in the NFL after rushing for 1,009 yards and scoring a career-high 18 total touchdowns in 2024. The Bills running back was also featured in the passing game, with 32 receptions for 258 yards. He has been a vital piece to the Bills offense, led by the 2024 MVP Allen. Allen now has his workhorse running back in the backfield, helping open up the offense. The Bills quarterback is looking to get back to business after having the best season of his career. Last season, Allen completed 63.6% of his passes for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns. He also rushed for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bears move on from injured former Georgia DB
As final cuts draw closer, a Georgia Bulldog has lost his roster spot due to an undisclosed injury. Former Georgia and Michigan State defensive back Ameer Speed was waived by the Chicago Bears with an injury designation, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. He was waived to make room for former Las Vegas Raiders running back Brittain Brown. Speed was fighting to make the final roster for the Bears after playing two games for Chicago last year. He was signed to the practice squad in Sep. 2024, but he did well enough to get promoted to the active roster on Nov. 6, 2024. Through those two games in Chicago, Speed racked up 17 snaps; 14 on special teams and 3 on defense. He signed his exclusive rights free agent contract with the Bears in April 2025, but it looks like he'll have to try to catch on with another practice squad when he is healthy. Before his brief tenure with the Bears, Speed made pits stops with the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts in 2023. He was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft, but five games into his tenure, New England cut him. Indianapolis picked him up from waivers on Oct. 20, 2023. With the Colts, he played in eight games, but he was ultimately waived in Aug. 27, 2024. Before his time in the NFL, Speed played at Georgia and Michigan State. With Georgia, he totaled 25 tackles and one pass defended from 2017-21. He won a national championship with Georgia in 2022, but he was used more as depth, so he transferred to Michigan State in 2022.

Browns offensive depth chart prediction with Quinshon Judkins, Isaiah Bond
Based on yesterday's news, it is likely that the Cleveland Browns will be adding RB Quinshon Judkins and WR Isaiah Bond to a roster that controlled the Philadelphia Eagles in the second day of joint practices. While most expect QB Joe Flacco to be installed as the team's starting quarterback, the Browns offense still has a load of questions. While the quarterback is the most important position on offense, having talent around the signal caller (including/especially on the offensive line) is vital for success. Judkins, having been with the team all offseason until training camp, is expected to lead Cleveland's rushing attack sooner rather than later. Having over three weeks, as of Friday, until Week 1 will give him time to get up to speed. Bond, on the other hand, is a different story. Expecting much from the Alabama/Texas receiver this season might be too much to ask for a player who has not been involved with any offseason activities or training camp. While multiple sites have compared Bond to WR Jaylen Waddle, Browns fans might have to wait a year before they see if that is true. There is a reason Bleacher Report, among many others, gave Bond a third-round grade despite the Waddle (a high first-rounder) comparisons: GRADE: 7.4 (High-Level Backup/Potential Starter—Third Round) OVERALL RANK: 61 POSITION RANK: WR9 PRO COMPARISON: Shades of Jaylen Waddle Bond wasn't overly productive in college, totaling just 99 receptions in 41 games, with his career high 48 receptions and 668 yards coming at Alabama in 2023. The NFL Network noted a belief that Bond just needs more opportunities: Bond is an explosive athlete with above-average skill. He simply needs more targets to reach his potential. He's well-suited to the NFL game and could become a very good pro within his first three seasons. Predicting Cleveland's quarterback situation is tough enough. Guessing which 20-plus players will make the roster on that side of the ball is even more difficult, but worth a shot: Quarterback Joe Flacco – Starter Dillon Gabriel Shedeur Sanders Running back Quinshon Judkins Dylan Sampson Jerome Ford Ahmani Marshall Wide Receiver Jerry Jeudy Cedric Tillman Jamari Thrash DeAndre Carter Gage Larvadain Isaiah Bond Tight End David Njoku Harold Fannin Jr. Blake Whiteheart Offensive Line Dawand Jones Joel Bitonio Ethan Pocic Wyatt Teller Jack Conklin Cornelius Lucas Zak Zinter Luke Wypler Lorenzo Thompson Javion CohenShare your thoughts with us in the comment section below
