Mike Vrabel lauds one area as strength for Patriots in 2025
Mike Vrabel lauds one area as strength for Patriots in 2025
New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel believes that the defensive line and linebacker positions are going to be strengths for the team in the upcoming season.
When speaking with media members on Monday, he noted that the investments made in the front-seven during the offseason are a big reason for his confidence in those units. The linebacker position was upgraded with the additions of veterans Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane and Jack Gibbens. All three players have a history of working with Vrabel in the past.
They also signed free agent defensive tackle Milton Williams to a historic deal, while also spending two draft picks on defensive tackle Joshua Farmer and edge rusher Bradyn Swinson.
The defensive front should also be helped by a solid Patriots' secondary that added veteran Carlton Davis III to play opposite of All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez. That extra time of opposing receivers fighting to get free should only increase the sack window for the front-seven.
New England has improved at every level of the defense in the offseason, and there's a chance they could once again reign as one of the top units in the NFL.

Ben Simmons Update Announced After Clippers Issue Big Demand
Ben Simmons Update Announced After Clippers Issue Big Demand originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Wednesday, reports surfaced that the Los Angeles Clippers have placed significant conditions on the potential return of Ben Simmons, following a season in which the franchise underwhelmed despite high expectations. Advertisement League sources told HoopsHype's Michael Scotto that, beyond their plans for the non-taxpayer mid-level exception (MLE), Los Angeles is eyeing a backup point guard and rim-protecting center to bolster depth. Under that scenario, current backup center Drew Eubanks, who carries a $4.75 million non-guaranteed deal for 2024-25, "is not expected to return," as he could be used "as a salary filler in a trade or waived by the Clippers." Meanwhile, the statuses of Amir Coffey and Simmons remain "not certain," depending on their respective free-agent markets and roster fit. Los Angeles Clippers forward Ben Simmons (25).Dale Zanine-Imagn Images A native of Melbourne, Australia, Simmons immediately made an impact in Philadelphia, winning NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018 after averaging 15.8 points, 8.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds in his first season with the 76ers. Advertisement He then earned three consecutive All-Star nods (2019-2021), made the All-NBA Third Team in 2020 and secured two NBA All-Defensive First Team honors (2020, 2021), leading the league in steals per game (2.1) in 2020. In February, shortly after being bought out by the Brooklyn Nets and clearing waivers, Simmons inked a one-year, $1.08 million deal with the Clippers. In his debut on February 13, he posted 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in a 120-116 overtime win over the Utah Jazz. The 2024-25 season began with optimism for Los Angeles, led by stars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, yet the Clippers once again fell well short of expectations, losing to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Braves' Smith-Shawver undergoes Tommy John surgery and Kimbrel elects free agency
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A.J. Smith-Shawver underwent Tommy John surgery and Craig Kimbrel elected free agency Monday in the latest pitching moves for the slumping Atlanta Braves. Smith-Shawver had reconstructive surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, knocking the rookie right-hander out for at least the rest of this season. Keith Meister performed the procedure in Arlington, Texas. Kimbrel opted for free agency two days after the Braves had designated the nine-time All-Star reliever for assignment. The Braves had attempted to send Kimbrel outright to their Triple-A Gwinnett affiliate. The Braves announced Smith-Shawver's surgery and Kimbrel's decision before their Monday night game at Milwaukee as they attempted to snap a seven-game skid. Braves officials already had announced May 30 that Smith-Shawver had a torn UCL. He had left a 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies a day earlier and said he felt a 'pop.' Smith-Shawver, 22, had gone 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA in nine starts this season. He had struck out 42 batters in 44 1/3 innings. Kimbrel had been attempting to make a comeback with Atlanta, where he spent his first five major league seasons and earned four straight All-Star Game selections from 2011-14. His 186 saves with the Braves are the most in franchise history. The 37-year-old Kimbrel had gone a combined 1-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 18 combined appearances with Gwinnett and Double-A Columbus this year before getting called up to Atlanta last week. But he pitched just one game with Atlanta before getting designated for assignment. He worked one scoreless inning in the Braves' 5-4, 10-inning loss at San Francisco on Friday. Kimbrel is attempting to rejuvenate his career after a disappointing 2024 season in which he went 7-5 with a 5.33 ERA and 23 saves for the Baltimore Orioles, who released him last September. ___

Dolphins Second-Rounder Remains Unsigned in June
Dolphins Second-Rounder Remains Unsigned in June originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As of June 9, only two second-round picks from the 2025 NFL Draft have signed with their respective teams. Wide receiver Jayden Higgins signed his rookie deal with the Houston Texans on May 9; linebacker Carson Schwesinger followed suit with the Cleveland Browns three days later. Advertisement This means that offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, whom the Miami Dolphins selected with the No. 37 overall pick, is among the 30 second-rounders who have yet to ink their rookie contracts. At the center of the NFL's latest contract-related trend is the concept of signing bonuses, which is the only condition of a rookie's contract that can be negotiated. The total value of each contract, as well as its average annual value (AAV), is already set in stone, per the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The Texans and Browns, respectively, have since bucked previous trends by making Higgins' and Schwesinger's contracts fully guaranteed, marking the first instances of second-round picks being signed to such deals. As a result, unsigned second-rounders are likely leaning towards receiving more money upfront and are in active negotiations to be compensated similarly to Higgins and Schwesinger. University of Arizona offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea (OL36) answers questions at a press conference during the 2025 NFL Combine at Indiana Convention Musselman-Imagn Images The total value of Savaiinaea's rookie contract is $11,310,028, with an AAV of $2,827,507 across four seasons and a signing bonus of $4,865,477, according to contract data from Spotrac. Even though Savaiinaea has yet to put pen to paper, he has been present at the Dolphins' OTAs. Advertisement Before being drafted by the Dolphins, Savaiinaea played three seasons of college football at Arizona, where he started all 36 games he appeared in. He started 12 contests at right guard as a freshman in 2022, resulting in him picking up an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention and a spot on Pro Football Focus' All-True Freshman Team. He subsequently earned another All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention nod in 2023 and an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention nod in 2024.
