New Bucs OC Josh Grizzard is 'fired up' for new role with the team
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have become well-versed in replacing offensive coordinators over the last three years. This offseason marked the third time they have had to do so in as many years.
On Thursday, the Bucs new offensive coordinator, Josh Grizzard, met with the press when he was introduced, and fans should be excited.
Grizzard spoke with the media after Todd Bowles named him his new offensive coordinator. The Yale graduate made it clear to everyone that he has the same energy as his quarterback, Baker Mayfield.
'I'm fired up. You guys know the foundation that's in place… We're trying to take it to the next level [and] try to bring a championship back to Tampa. I'm fired up to be here and to try to lead this unit down the road.'
You can tell, even just by reading the words, that his energy is going to be great for this offense. It explains why players like Mayfield, Mike Evans, and Tristan Wirfs were excited when talking about him at the Pro Bowl.
Luckily for Grizzard, he will have most, if not all, of the offense back in 2025. The lone question surrounds Chris Godwin and his looming free agency.

Jason Kelce Reveals the Truth on Major Personal Decision
Jason Kelce Reveals the Truth on Major Personal Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jason Kelce has been doing a lot since he retired from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. Since then, the Super Bowl-winning center has gotten himself a deal with ESPN as a football analyst, which also gave birth to his own talk show on the esteemed sports network, "They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce." Advertisement On top of that, the 37-year-old also runs a very successful podcast with his brother, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, entitled "New Heights." Kelce has also ventured into multiple businesses. Apart from being a part-owner of Cincinnati, Ohio-based alcoholic beverage company Garage Beer, the NFL icon also decided to invest in his passion for golf. In May, Kelce was officially announced as a part-owner of the Sullivan County Golf Club in Liberty, New York. The seven-time Pro Bowl center joined actor Bill Murray and entrepreneur Mike Madden, the son of NFL legend Mike Madden, among others, as part of the golf club's high-profile ownership group. In a recent interview, Kelce opened up about his major personal decision to invest in Sullivan County. According to the former Eagles star, it was renowned golf writer and editor Tom Coyne who paved the way for him. Advertisement "So Tom and I played golf and did a podcast that he has," Kelce said, via kelcebrothers on Instagram. "And we just kind of got to know each other through that. "And, you know, I've been getting more involved with golf. I'm doing some stuff with my nonprofit, Underdog ... But (I've) been working with Tom and doing some things on that front.

I'm like, '(Expletive) Yeah, I want to go play a hoopie with Bill Murray.' And that's when we kind of got to talking. "It sounded like this nine-hole course up in the Catskills in Sullivan County was going to be pretty killer. ... From there, we kind of came together, and now we've got a golf course." Advertisement While it was not disclosed how much Kelce invested in this new business venture, there's no denying that purchasing a stake in a golf course had to burn a hole in his pockets. However, as Kelce said during the announcement, his relationship with the sport of golf has grown over the past few years, and he came to the conclusion that it was due time to make "a long-term commitment" by putting his money where his mouth is.

Houston Texans sign former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans have signed former Cleveland Browns star running back Nick Chubb, the team announced on Monday. Chubb made four Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Cleveland, but was limited by injuries the past two years. He suffered a left knee injury in Week 2 at Pittsburgh in 2023 and remained sidelined until Week 7 in 2024. He then played in eight games before breaking his foot and finished with 332 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Advertisement Chubb could join a backfield that features Joe Mixon. The two-time Pro Bowler had 1,016 yards in his first year with Houston after seven seasons in Cincinnati. The Texas won the AFC South at 10-7 before losing at Kansas City in the divisional round of the playoffs. The 29-year-old Chubb has run for 6,843 yards since the Browns selected him in the second round in the 2018 NFL draft. He is third on the team's career list behind Hall of Famers Jim Brown (12,312) and Leroy Kelly (7,274). Chubb rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 TDs in 2022. He has averaged 5.1 yards per carry during his seven seasons. ___ AP NFL: The Associated Press

Texans officially sign RB Nick Chubb to one-year deal
Nick Chubb officially has a new home as the Houston Texans announced the signing of the free agent running back on Tuesday. According to The Athletic, Chubb agreed to a one-year deal with Houston worth at least $2.5 million and up to $5 million. While Chubb, 29, could have landed a more lucrative offer from other teams, reports indicated that Chubb would rather agree to an incentive-laden contract to join Texans star Joe Mixon in the backfield. Mixon comes off his second Pro Bowl season, during which he ran for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season with Houston. A second-round pick in 2018, Chubb spent his first seven years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns, including four that saw him rush for at least 1,000 yards. In total, Chubb ran for 6,843 yards and 51 touchdowns, both of which rank third all-time in franchise history. However, Chubb was sidelined for much of the last two years in Cleveland as a result of knee and foot injuries. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
