Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs get huge Cowboys minicamp updates
The post Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs get huge Cowboys minicamp updates appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Dallas Cowboys are entering a new era under head coach Brian Schottenheimer in 2025. Dallas made some impressive offseason moves over the past few months that have them ready to compete this fall. The Cowboys also got some good news today at the start of mandatory minicamp. Cowboys stars Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs are both attending mandatory minicamp, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. This is a big development for the Cowboys to have two star players back with the team. Parsons has been in a contract dispute with the Cowboys this offseason. He is seeking a massive multi-year extension with Dallas and is rumored to be looking for $200 million on the new deal. Cowboys fans, and the rest of the NFL media, have critiqued the Cowboys for dragging their feet on extending Parsons. Still, Parsons promised that he would attend minicamp and he delivered. 'I will be there,' Parsons posted on social media on Wednesday. 'I haven't missed a mini-camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook ! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl !' Parsons added that he did not want to 'give away any money for fines either.' Hopefully the Cowboys finally lock Parsons up on an extension before the start of the regular season. The return of Trevon Diggs is a great sign that he is on the mend. Diggs has been away from the team this offseason while he rehabs his surgically repaired knee. As a result, he has missed the first two phases of the team's offseason program. Diggs is taking his recovery seriously and has been rehabbing in Miami. He may even leave some money on the table if he misses enough offseason activities. Perhaps that helps explain Diggs' presence in Dallas this week. Either way, the Cowboys will get a good look at Diggs at mandatory minicamp. They will likely play it safe with Diggs this offseason and not rush him back onto the field if he is not ready. In the meantime, the Cowboys will be set at outside cornerback with DaRon Bland, Kaiir Elam, and rookie Shavon Revel Jr. taking snaps at outside cornerback.

Blockbuster Four-Team NBA Trade Idea Lands Lakers Two New Key Players
Blockbuster Four-Team NBA Trade Idea Lands Lakers Two New Key Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in February, the Los Angeles Lakers were projected to compete for the championship this year. Advertisement The Lakers were the third seed in the West this year, the second-highest seed LeBron James has had with the purple and gold since signing with Los Angeles in the summer of 2018. Doncic, James and the Lakers faced the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of this year's playoffs. Los Angeles had home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series. However, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves beat the Lakers in five quick games. James, who had never lost in the first round of the playoffs before joining Los Angeles, has lost in the first round three times with the Lakers. For James and Doncic to win a championship together, Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka has to surround the All-Stars with better role players. Los Angeles Lakers stars Luka Doncic and LeBron James could benefit from this NBA trade idea. Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images With that said, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report proposed that Los Angeles acquire Jakob Poeltl from the Toronto Raptors and Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls in a four-team trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors. Advertisement In Pincus' trade idea, the Raptors would get Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Smith and Jevon Carter, the Bucks would get RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick, Chris Boucher, Ja'Kobe Walter and Gabe Vincent, the Lakers would get Ball and Poeltl and the Bulls would get Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt, Shake Milton and AJ Lawson. Poeltl appeared in 57 games for the Raptors this season. He averaged 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds while shooting 62.7% from the field. The 29-year-old will make $19.5 million next season. Meanwhile, Ball appeared in 35 games this season after missing two years in a row with a serious knee injury. The UCLA product averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Bulls. Ball began his career with the Lakers. He'll make $10 million next season.

Spending spree among fans continues during Edmonton Oilers playoff run
After local spending climbed during consecutive rounds as the Edmonton Oilers marched through the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it hit a fever pitch during the last home game of the third round against the Dallas Stars, with a more than 140 per cent jump in spending near the arena. 'Throughout the playoffs, Moneris' data has revealed a clear trend — when the Oilers play at home, restaurant spending in downtown Edmonton lights up,' Sean McCormick, director of business development and data services at Moneris, said in a release. As Postmedia has steadily reported throughout the past several weeks and during the team's run last year, according to data from Moneris, spending near Rogers Place and throughout the city fluctuates significantly during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Last year's Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final produced a stunning 200 per cent spend increase near the arena, and while data won't be available until this year's Stanley Cup Final is over, this year's spending was already surging in the third round against Dallas. While the Oilers glided to a comfortable 4-1 series win over Dallas inside, fans outside the arena and in the area gave their bank accounts a beating with soaring spending on May 27. 'Round three of the playoffs highlighted the passion of Oilers fans, with restaurant spending near Rogers Place soaring up to 143 per cent during Game 4,' said McCormick. Calculating the spending by comparing credit and debit card activity at its point of sale systems, Moneris' data shows that during Game 4 against Dallas, spending was the largest jump of this year's playoffs by some margin. The only game that came close to Game 4's spending increase came exactly a month prior on April 27, when the Oilers played their second home game against the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, when spending near the arena swelled to 89 per cent above average. 'Round one reminded us just how impactful the playoffs can be for both fans and the local economy,' said McCormick. 'Whether at home or tuning in from local spots during away games, Oilers fans created a ripple effect that lifted businesses and brought people together in a meaningful way.' The spending spree during Game 4 of the Western Conference Final wasn't just limited to near the arena — Moneris saw that the same game also spurred spending throughout the city, leading to a 27 per cent rise across Edmonton's bars and restaurants. Coincidentally, the other game that came close to game 4's local spend was also April 27, bringing a 24 per cent bump in activity throughout the city. Perhaps unsurprisingly, whether the Oilers are playing at home or away, spending increases are more pronounced when the team wins. For example, in the third round after falling 6-3 to Dallas in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final, spending near the arena and throughout the city saw just a two and four per cent bump, respectively. In contrast, the ensuing four games that Edmonton won brought a 38, 51, 143, and 41 per cent increase in spending near the arena, respectively. Now down 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers, the team, fans, and businesses affected by the Oilers' success will be pulling for a comeback, starting Thursday night with Game 4 that gives the Oilers a chance to tie the series before heading home for Game 5.
