Texans 'eyeing' Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb as second option behind Joe Mixon
Texans 'eyeing' Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb as second option behind Joe Mixon Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb remains on the market, but the Houston Texans could be a team to watch in the coming weeks to land him before the start of the regular season. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Texans are eyeing the former longtime Cleveland Browns starter to join the backfield alongside former AFC North standout Joe Mixon. "I was told that he's hoping to sign here soon, and maybe he gets something done before a minicamp gets into a team. Four-time Pro Bowler," Fowler said during Sunday's SportsCenter Countdown Show. "The return to Cleveland's not totally off the table, from what I'm told, but probably unlikely because of their draft plans, they drafted multiple running backs. I'm told Houston could be one to watch here. They've been looking at that running back market, maybe adding somebody with Joe Mixon." The Browns might be starting over at running back after selecting Quinshon Judkins in the second round of last month's draft. They also added Tennessee star Dylan Sampson as a backup to compete for first-team reps, thus making Chubb the No. 3 option. The Texans could use a strong short-term No. 2 option behind Mixon. Dameon Pierce rushed for just 293 yards and a pair of touchdowns and is entering a contract year. Meanwhile, Woody Marks is better used as a pass-catching threat than a stable runner. The Texans need to find more stability on the ground and Chubb could be that option. Even as a rotational star, he adds value. Over the last two years, Chubb dealt with multiple injuries, playing just 10 games total across two years. When healthy, he can be stable back which creates second-chance opportunities to strike. In his last healthy year, Chubb rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Ex-New York Giants DT Chris Canty accused of 'bullying' renter
Former New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty is allegedly playing hardball with the lone tenant of a Manhattan townhouse he has owned since 2020. Canty, now an ESPN Radio host in New York City, has one tenant remaining in the Upper West Side building, which is reportedly worth $5.2 million. From the New York Post: The 6-foot-7-inch, 380-pound defensive end wants to transform the nine-unit West 89th Street building into his own luxury townhouse — but 5-foot-6 data analyst Stuart Kalmenson stands in his way. Kalmenson, 59, has lived in his two-bedroom apartment just steps from Central Park for 19 years, paying $2,600 a month rent when Canty, who works out of NYC for ESPN and has a home in Hilton Head, South Carolina, bought the building. Kalmenson has spent more than two years without utilities, made it through the winter without heat or hot water; and lives with floors so rotted and chewed through by mice he's been force 'to 'block off' about one-third of the living room for safety reasons,' he claimed in court filings. Legal action has been filed on both sides and is ongoing. The issue is still unresolved. 'If I'm entitled to a rent-stabilized lease. I don't need to get bullied out of my own home by some guy just because he happened to be a football player,' Kalmenson representatives claim since the building is a co-op, it is not subject to rent stabilization. All of the other tenants who resided in the building when Canty bought it moved out when their leases expired, allowing renovations to begin.
